X-Play: Xbox Live Orientation


Xbox Live gets us mad. We don't mean because of the dips in service that happen from time to time, we don't mean some of the exorbitantly priced content; we mean the people. We love people, but on Xbox Live social normality is thrown out the window as some gamers just need to turn on that hate. We always thought it was because some people (not all, but you've met these people too) are just straight up jerkfaces (see also, Asshats) but apparently some gamers were just introduced to Live via this orientation video.

X-Play created a (sometimes) funny video that's meant to shine light on the personalities of Xbox Live and how the hate came to be. Video's embedded after the jump due to some NSFW language and crude humor, but remember the whole thing is a gag and is meant to have you shake your head in both understanding and disgust because it's pretty accurate. Unfortunately.

Grand Theft Auto IV activity book for kids

Everyone knows that Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV isn't for kids, right? Right! Everyone knows that children wouldn't even dream about trying out GTAIV until they mature to the proper age, right? Right! Well, thankfully The Minus World has revealed some entertainment for kids who might want to experience a piece of GTAIV, without actually playing the game.

The Grand Theft Auto IV activity book is chock-full of great assignments, including: word searches, image comparisons and a gang-sign primer. Now as you experience GTAIV by going outside the line of the in-game law your kids can practice by staying inside the lines with the delightful coloring pages!

Interview with a Blu-Ray



Aeropause sits down for a disturbing chat with an anthropomorphized Blu-Ray disc. Sample quote:

One time when we were young, HD-DVD and I played "Show Me Yours and I will Show You Mine" We got caught and we never tried it again, but what I saw was impressive, but I think mine is just as good! That moment scarred me for life. If that would not have happened I would have had a much higher capacity.

At least they went to the source.

[Thanks Lucas]
