Wow, it's really been this long since the site launched? And it's really been this long for the new design to go up?
I blame commercialism, since it's keeping me too busy.
Now, since this little mistake I made launched the redesign too early I guess I'll have to finish the programming as well. Oy vey.

At the time of writing there are adverts for the arcade racing-game blur that seem to twist the gamer-community's metaphorical panties in their tailpipes. You can see the commercials here:
Blur - Nitro VS Mine - PS3/Xbox360
Blur - Surcharge VS Eclair - PS3/Xbox360
What's been upsetting gamers all over the world is the purely sexist TnA-factor of the ads and complaints point to the non-scientific fact that gamers aren't pubescent boys that eat this shit up. Here's a quote for ya:
Oh for fucks sake... I am so tired of being spoken to as if I was a horny 12-year-old!Samson Wiklund
If I wasn't boycotting Activision already I would start now!
I can't really disagree with the quote, but is it actually valid? Follow me on this:
First off, the ads are in French, obviously created for the French audience. To understand that the French people aren't the same as the rest of the world you don't have to look any further than their cooking. Point being that maybe the croissants French gamers don't respond the same way as non-French gamers do to the ads.

Gearing up for war

The only contact I've had with Gears of War was during the launch-period of the 360. I tried it for less than 5 minutes at a booth while picking up something else at a game-store. I did not like it, but dismissed it as unfamiliarity with the aim being controlled by a joystick instead of a mouse.
By now I know that it's a solid title. Marcus Fenix, as the main character is named, is to Master Chief from Halo what Samus Aran of Metroid-fame is to Mario Mario of the Super Mario franchise.
I expect console-friendly third-person-shooting with a lot of gore - I mean, that chainsaw-bayonet's got to be used for something, right? Other than that, I suspect some "Oh no, we can't get through here, we need to run to the other side of the world and push a button first."
I don't think I'll dislike this title, but I'm not holding my breath. I will say that I'm eager to get started though.
