‘BioShock Infinite’ To Include 1999 Mode; Sworn To Beat Your Ass.
If you let it, BioShock Infinite will solemnly swear to whup your ass. Ken Levine has revealed that the forthcoming title is going to include a more difficult “1999 Mode”, taking the gamer back to a time when us gaming folks had to walk up hills both ways to get to a fucking INK RIBBON SAVE POINT and dungeon bosses openly bare-assed farted on our tits just because they could. The good old days.
Trailers: Spike VGA Trailer Blow Out, Chat-Up. Come Inside!
I already claimed that Naughty Dog’s trailer for The Last Of Us was one of the best trailers of all time. Inside the comments section I got lit-up like a fuckin’ Christmas tree draped in malfunctioning lights. No problem. I stick by it! But here’s a post with all the glorious debuts and trailers from last night’s Spike VGA. Let’s shoot the shit about all of them.

Ken Levine is one of the visionaries working in video games right now. Say what you want about the ideologies that propel these visions, the dude has got them. So when he talks, I pay attention.

Press Start!: That One About Snatch(er) and Leaking.
Press Start! Weekly Top 5 list chronicling the happenings in gaming in the past seven days.
The abridged week always leads to a certain funk that bookmarks both sides of it. You begin checking out prior to the Holiday, and the days that follow are (for most of us, I’d wager) a haze of recuperation, lament at the end of the Holiday, and an attempt to gain your footing again.
As such, the world of gaming news is either unremarkable, or I frankly didn’t give much of a shit. Too busy trying to burn off the impressive caloric excess while simultaneously polish off the remainder of flesh and sweets that populated my house.
Watch The Entire BioShock Infinite E3 Demo. Right Here. So Far Away.
Confession: I cannot watch this. The entire BioShock Infinite E3 demo. Can’t watch. If I do, it’ll send me into a tizzy of half-words, much-vomit, and sprints around the neighborhood. I’m excitable. I need this game. My body cannot handle such a tither. I bring it to you though, should you be interested and capable of absorbing so much rock knowing the game is still a turn of the calendar away.
BioShock Infinite’s Protagonist Is Revealed. Booker is Sexy, Grizzled.
This week’s edition of EGMi has the protagonist of BioShock Infinite on its glorious cover. Not only that, but the gorgeous artwork pays homage to one of the most classic Uncanny X-Men covers. Ever. None other than Uncanny X-Men #141, or the X-Men comic that all of us mutant-fellaters point to as a high-water mark for the series.
