  1. Bungie Day, eh? Time to dust off our box of Halo jokes. I seem to recall some good teabag zingers we've used since '05.
  2. @ELahti You're welcome.
  3. It takes a special kind of skill to spin a counter-piece/retraction to an ill-informed editorial as "news." But by god, we've got it.
  4. BREAKING: eSports on the decline. Also on the decline: Call of Duty sequels, sex and summer temperatures.
  5. I believe years of writing about Phoenix Wright has allowed me to conclude that Casey Anthony was, beyond a reasonable dou- OBJECTION.
  6. Posting about deaths that are vaguely related to gaming is a touchy gray area, but we always try to err on the side of pageviews.
  7. Sent Chad, our investigative reporter, to Canada to research this "Canada Day." So far all he's sent back are screenshots of Bioware games.
  8. RUMOR: Bungie Aerospace = Bungie drops out of game development, joins forces with Richard Branson to make spacecraft.
  9. Nintendo really should have used the whole "too expensive to localize" line years ago for HD graphics and the non-existent GameCube library.
  10. Update: We have reached out to Le3TSNIPER with a Black Ops invite for comment, but DO0DYxBLASTER's evidence is convincing.
  11. Now that XBox Live chats count as news, I've got a whole host of juicy headlines: RUMOR: Le3TSNIPER a closet homosexual, says DO0DYxBLASTER.
  12. If Uncharted 3 is anything like the demo, it will suck. 2 maps? No single player? Hope the release is still free, though. I liked that part.
  13. Rock Paper Shotgun is hiring? Have fun writing about Ro-Sham-Bo all day, I guess. How many words could you possibly write about that?
  14. @Jam_sponge Do a twirly roll!
  15. PR degree came in handy with that Mercenaries 3D post. One save file's not outrageous, it's "creative". Thanks for the ad buys, Capcom!
  16. Went to GameStop to hire a new intern. Returned with 5 pre-orders, Game Informer subscription and a used copy of Brink. Those guys are good!
  17. @jayc4life Good idea. Already working on the title. "Fauxtaku Has an Editor, and This is That Person."
  18. Editor just got back from vacation. Didn't even know he was gone.
  19. @zacinoff It's all about the Hamiltons, baby.
  20. REPORT: In honor of free speech, we are now changing SCOTUS in all posts to SCROTUS.
