Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 635 Joined: 7 Dec 2008     | The first story about the liquor robber, I haven't heard the actual story before, so I'm having trouble figuring out where the news ends and the satire begins. My guess is that it's all true except the shooting at the end? |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 502 Joined: 29 Jul 2009     | I loved the bit about the robber at GameStop, and the PSPGo bit was solid as well. Look forward to more of these. |

It's not very far from some of the arguments I've heard on Forums about this stuff. The games aren't to my tastes, but it still disappoints me that GTA has no children or pets, so who am I to judge. |

Initially you just die, but if you're worthy our robotic overlords may consider sending you to the factory to be 'refurbished.' |

Brilliant, just brilliant. Also,
shouldn't you become a zombie and then become eligible for refurbishing? |

Madden needs a players guide? Furthermore: The people who play Madden can read? |

The actual event the story was based on happened on the 22nd. But the story came into existence because of the great number of robberies that have occurred over the past few years at the store making it the new 'in' thing with armed robbers. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2759 Joined: 3 Dec 2008  | Problems with Activision's zombie Cobain project have been racking up costs. Because zombie Cobain requires a constant IV drip of pure herion, he costs approximately $600,000 an hour to maintain alive. In addition, his inability to smell properly due to nerve deterioration has lead to him questioning teen spirit. Needless to say his willingness to co-operate with Activision has been strenuous on their relationship. In an interview with the project lead he stated: "Zombie Cobain is costing us way too much, we may need to scrap the idea and just make Cobain 2, since the sequel will likely be infinitely better than the original". News on the Cobain 2 project is still pending. |
