Making good on its intentions to continue supporting the original Left 4 Dead, Valve says that the next batch of downloadable content for the Xbox 360 and PC game will be announced sometime this Summer.
Awesome! But when will it ship? If you feel the same way I do about Announcements of announcements then you understand where I’m coming from..

Whether that announcement of new… something for Left 4 Dead will placate the masses feeling slighted by the impending arrival of Left 4 Dead 2 we don’t know. But Valve’s Doug Lombardi says that someday, somehow this whole process of shipping two games within a year’s time will all make sense when viewed from the mount of the grander scheme.

Lombardi also teases more Left 4 Dead 2 related announcements, presumably a spilling out of details about new Special Infected types, new weapons and new campaigns. Oh, and there will be a L4D2 demo, apparently, giving you the opportunity to go hands-on with a fucking chainsaw before November. Come on it’s a chainsaw…..

Strangely, not satisfying at all. It’s like your watching the movie, and now your not. That’s how quickly it ends. The movies has got it’s high points as well as it’s low. All in all I have to say it’s a good watch. The big things most people have been hearing are for the most part true. There is a lot of comedy. At moments it feels very pushed or out of place. The really big complaint that everyone seems to have is the twins.

I completely understand why people hate them. I’m not sure if it was because I went into the movie ‘pre-hating’ if you will or maybe it’s because I have truly lost all taste, but for some reason they seemed not to bother me too bad. Two things. The first being I just never really felt like the movie was ever building towards anything. The second and the biggest problem I had with the movie was the plot. Or lack there of. On most movies I don’t complain of a paper thin plot. The reason it’s a problem for me this time is because it was really tough for me to get interested in the movie from the start. You also have to take into account that if you take this movie as what it is. It’s very entertaining and fun to watch. Plain and simple. It’s a ‘Popcorn movie’ a ’summer movie’ if you will.

You know someone said to me that “The movie would have been good with a lower budget. Because if it had a lower budget it would not be all Micheal Bayed up.” Now the best way I can decribe that is by watching this short 43 second vid. Anyway all and all with a few complaints (Cybertronian testicles) all and all I really enjoyed what is there. Definitely worth a watch.

According to Chinese site UDN, Sony have signed production contracts with two companies to begin manufacture of the rumoured PS3 “Slim”, with a delivery date of…oh, next month! Sounds a bit uh, lets see, FAKE!

Now, with a PS3 price cut heavily expected around August, and with stocks of the existing 80GB PS3 supposedly dwindling, a July delivery date for the “new” PS3 makes sense. Ship it out in July, have it ready to sell in stores for August.

Fake, not fake. You decide. Keep in mind the recent report of price cuts coming. You never know.

About a month ago I had the idea that when I had enough footage from racing games that I would put together a crash compilation. Well, I knew it would be a pain in the ass, but I had no idea what I was in for.

I started editing this about 10 or 12 days ago. After 3 re-starts, a PC recovery and several beers, here it is. I hope you all enjoy.

A History of Violence

jggh Productions

The heroes are much more heroic and the villains exponentially more vile with the release of City of Heroes Issue: 15: Anniversary, with cosmetic changes and mission architect tweaks the order of the day.

Aside from a new 5th Column Task Force / Strike Force series of missions, most of the Issue 15 update for NCsoft’s superhero MMO is dedicated to making characters look their best and making it easier to use the mission architect player-created content tool introduced in Issue 14: Architect.

On the cosmetic side of things, players now have more than 20 new faces to choose from in character creation along with two new costume sets – vines and ulterior – making an already ridiculously versatile system even more so. They’ve also added new costume change emotes, allowing players to back flip, salute, or maniacally laugh their way out of their clothes.

NCsoft also updates their mission architect system, adding new testing tools to help iron out the kinks and enhanced search capability to help players separate the wheat from the chaff.

This week my better half and my son are gone to out of town. Even though I miss them greatly, you would think a man who has not had a moment alone in 10 or so years would be hitting the strip clubs and living it up. Not so much.

I am taking this chance to have some GEEK fun. Things like play my 360 with the surround sound cranked way the hell up. Work on jggh Productions with no interruptions. Sleep till like 3 in the day. Anyway, the point of this post is to let everyone know that I will be online all week long. Day, night, morning whatever suits me. If anyone wants to get into a game hit me up.

360 Gamertag “junegore” DO IT!!!!!

Today has been one of those days that I wish I would have just went back to bed. The problem is that I never went to sleep.

I had to be up this morning at 5:30AM. I had to be out in the heat all day with no sleep. Now I come home to find out that my movie program went fucking crazy and deleted all of my current work. That was 5 days of editing and only 1 minute and 30 seconds of video. The bad thing is I have deleted all of the videos away from my camera preparing it for vacation.

On top of that the one thing I can do is post news. No! There is no worth while news to post. So instead you get me bitching about my day. Speaking of. Have a good day!

I had heard that the 360 would get a ‘re-modeled’ design next year when Project Natal ships. I have also heard rumors of a new Ps3 ‘Slim’. Well, according to gaming web site Kotaku. A mole says that that may be possible. As well as a price drop for both.

Anyone not expecting a price cut on the PlayStation 3 this year? How about the Xbox 360? Well, if Ars Technica’s “Mole” is right—and it has been before—both consoles will be cheaper by the fall.

A relatively easy prediction, yes, but Ars’ source lays out how it might go down, with the PS3 80GB model becoming more and more scarce. The constant bundling that Sony is doing at U.S. retail outlets will make sure that decrease in supply comes to fruition, about 2 months from now according to the Mole.

But the Xbox 360 retail offerings will also be changing, for the better value. According to the rumored price drop scenario, the Pro version of the Xbox 360 will phased out in favor of making the Elite the standard. Ars hints that another bundle configuration will hit before the holidays to replace the Elite, but doesn’t offer specifics.

Does it all sound possible? Definitely. Will we get that PS3 “Slim” and a slightly modified rebrand? That sounds possible too.

I only hope this is true.

Square Enix of America is being sued for allegedly deceiving 100,000 customers for “unfair business practices, false advertising and unjust enrichment” regarding the online title Final Fantasy XI.

The San Fransisco resident Esther Leong, claims that Square Enix “lied about or concealed its monthly fees, penalties for late payments, interest, restrictions and other things that should have been fully disclosed at points of purchase” — basically, Square Enix has been “deceptive”.

The court filing reads:
The deceptive advertising, unfair and undisclosed business practices, and concealment concern, among others:

i. Licensing of the online games software disguised as a sale;
ii. Monthly fees (”fees”) to play the online games;

v. Charges while the online game account is suspended;
vi. Termination of the right to use the online games for late payment of the fees;

Don’t get me wrong, I really don’t like FF, but I wonder if this guy even read the f****** box?

I’m guessing that it would not take a whole lot of effort to search through all the features of this site and maybe win a free game. Just keep searching and reading….
