The kicker, however, is that any damage you do to your opponent will slowly regenerate unless… wait for it… you take a picture of her panties. Yes. A fighting game where panty-shots are the core mechanic.

ummm... I don't know what to say about this one...

A Miami resident has bought a virtual space station for $100,000 and wants to turn it into a cross between Jurassic Park and a disco.

Whoa.

Bisexual 2.7%
Total 97.4%

And now, today's second HAHAHAHA! Someone really doesn't understand what the average person in this country feels like. Let's see, I can shlep away for $13.00 an hour at my job and be overworked and treated like crap, or I can get out the sword and be SOMEBODY! Mr. Pachter? Think again.

Belkin's Nostromo represents a collection of keys, a mouse wheel and a directional pad cleverly baked into one unit by the techno-chefs at the Compton, California based company.

I picked one of these up last night. So far, I like it. A lot. It's taking some getting used to, and I'm spending a lot of time trying different remaps, and it's a little long for my hand, but out of 5, I'm giving it a 4.5 right now. It's way more useful than any gamepad or joystick I've ever had, and since you can program it to macro for you, well damn, that's just plain sweet.
