Oculus adds former VALVE VR ENGINEER to staff. Poaching get?
I’m just imbuing this story with all sorts of things that aren’t true. Probably. Probably made-up. Like this dude who has left Valve for Oculus was totally poached from The Gabe Company. Top secret dinners. Libations and young sacrifices promised. He signed with Oculus in blood, as John Carmack stood in the corner jerking off over an original printing of Atlas Shrugged. That’s what I envision. ‘Cause if I don’t, it’s just moar “blah blah VR is wonderful, blah blah” rhetoric.
‘WARLORDS OF DRAENOR’ is dropping this fall; digital preorders open. Perks Get!
Still on the fence about the next WoW expansion pack. I’ve played every one of them, my interest diminishing with each installment. The time I spend in the expansion decreased, that Old Douchebag sentiment of yearning for bygone days spiking.
Watch: ‘FIGHT CLUB’ goes 16-bit Beat ’em up
I am Caff-Pow’s rough fetishizing of Fight Club. The latest totem in my gooey satchel of Fight Club worship is a new installment of 8-Bit Cinema. The crew over at 8-Bit take Hollywood flicks and runs the movies through the digitizing wunderstation, transmuting them into old school gaming relics. Though through their own admittance they say this installment is more 16-Bit. Either way, a serious fucking throwback. It’s fantastic.
Hit the jump to check it out.
Dude uses 17-YEAR-OLD COUPON from PC GAME for cheaper frozen pizza.
Dude who goes by Lazy Game Reviewer found an old as fuck coupon in some PC game, and decided to parlay that shit into cheaper pizza. He may go by Lazy Game Reviewer, but he’s hard on the grind when it comes to the money saving game.
MAYBE: Sony’s Oculus Rift competitor to be revealed this month
There’s a good chance that Sony’s dropping the reveal on their VR headset this month. Getting ready to throw down with the Oculus Rift. In a battle of “Hey, We Took Thing X and Put It in First Person! Wild!”
‘TOMB RAIDER’ going to pass 6 million in sales; franchise’s best-selling installment
I dug Tomb Raider. It was Uncharted meets Katniss, and that is fucking perfect to me. Ain’t no Hunger Games…game (I think?) and Nathan Drake is off getting his beauty sleep before being revealed in 1080p glory on the PS4. Others must have felt the same way as myself too, cause the son of a bitch is going to wind up selling like hot cakes.
EXPECTED: Sony is making ‘THE LAST OF US’ into a movie.
“Oh God, why do they have to adapt this? Good fucking luck!”, “Oh God, they’re adapting this flick, it would be perfect.” And I’m like in the middle of this shit covered in spittle, eating popcorn in my boxer-briefs, and dipping the kernels in the peanut butter smegma in my navel. Just sort of shrugging.
Japanese Prime Minister thinks country can learn from Super Mario.
Listen, I think we can all learn from Super Mario. Eat shrooms. Trip balls. Grow larger on the Astral Plane. However Japan’s Prime Minister thinks their nation can learn in a different manner from the country.
SHAQ wants your asses to fund new ‘SHAQ FU’ game, ‘Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn.’
Self-aggrandizing douchebag basketball Hall of Famer actor rapper video game star Shaq once had a video game. It was really fucking terrible in a sort of really fucking awesome manner. Now out of pro hoops and oscillating between getting fat and sports commentary, the athlete-guy is returning to his true love. His video game franchise.
‘WATCH DOGS’ TRAILER & LAUNCH DATE: HAX THE PLANET W/CYBERPUNK BABES
Another day, another really dope trailer I can only pass along (and not watch) because I’m at work. No audio! Whatever. I’ll drop the impressions in the comments later. Also fucking dope: Watch Dogs finally has a release date. May 27! Boom.
Hit the jump for the trailer.
