They sure seem to be trying to! Tampa's only three games behind the Sox now, have beaten us four games straight now, and they're leading today's game already in just the first inning...

Honestly, at this point, if the Red Sox can't beat the Rays at home, they probably don't deserve to be going to the playoffs... though they could anyway, because the Red Sox have seven games against Baltimore in the rest of the season, while the Rays have seven against the Yankees. But we'll see.

The biggest news: Yes, it will have a single player mode! That's great to hear... I was really worried that it'd be multiplayer only like the GBA version was, and given that it won't have online play, that 'd make it unplayable for a lot of people again. It's great to hear that that's not the case.

Also, there are indeed some additional levels being added to the game. There'll be two new areas with three levels each, so six new levels. Not bad.

So yeah, this is pretty good for free, for anyone with a DSi or 3DS that is!

BTW, tablet haters.. The video was completely recorded, edited, and uploaded on my Android tablet.

Today, I shot penis corn out of my hot dog butt nugget.. And one thousand hooooooookors shouted I totally call hepatitis B on you and your ass hole..

LaLaLaLaLalAaaaaaaaaaa! I hope tomorrow involves less raping clowns in the asshole.. And more getting work done! Because all this gay homophobic clown rape keeps me, up late at night worrying about the next day, and I need some beauty sleep soon or I'm going to start looking like Marlyn Monro after she was worm food..

Sony has a conference now. So far it's one of the most boring things ever. I mean, sure, understanding what they're saying would help, but... this is BORING. They're showing almost no games -- apart from one minute or two long, very boring demo reel of Vita stuff (some tennis game, a Picross-ish thing, golf I think, etc.), nothing so far.

Instead, they've thrilled the audience with things like a demo of the Vita interface, ten minutes of a guy from NTT DoCoMo (the Japanese cellphone giant) talking about the Sony/NTT partnership and their data plans for the 3G version of the Vita (it's... expensive. Like, $65 a month for 100 hours or something stupid like that... or, pay by the hour! Or, smarter, buy the WiFi only model?), Sony people talking about charts and graphs, people on stage just talking, etc. Yeah.

Also, apparently Windows 8 will have Xbox Live. Yeah, Windows Live is dead now or something, it's titled Xbox Live on the PC too now apparently...

This is Nintendo's big Japanese conference for the rest of the year. 3DS focus.

Quote:Syndicate is the re-imagination of a cult classic franchise from 1993 - a unique action shooter set in a not too distant future, where Business is War.

2069 – No longer governed by politicians, the developed world is divided up into regions controlled by megacorporations known as Syndicates. These Syndicates have revolutionized how the consumer interacts with the digital world. No longer does the consumer require a device to access the world¡¦s data and control their technology, they can do this at the blink of an eye via neural chip implant. Civilians flocked to be ¡§chip¡¦d¡¨ and enjoy all that their selected Syndicate has to offer; housing, medical, banking, insurance, education, entertainment and jobs. One complete package. One complete lifestyle. In return, the Syndicates gained unprecedented insights, and control, over the individual and their behaviour. With little governmental oversight, business has become war. The Syndicates will stop at nothing for ultimate market dominance. At the front line of this war are the Agents, the Syndicate¡¦s bio-engineered and chip-augmented enforcers. They can breach anything in the wired world including their enemies, their weapons and the environment that surrounds them, making them the most efficient and deadly technological weapons in the world.

Take on the role of Miles Kilo, Eurocorp¡¦s latest prototype agent, and embark on a brutal action adventure of corruption and revenge.

• Chip Enhanced Gameplay: Slow down time, see through walls, and breach your enemy and everything digital in the world with Dart vision – A neural DART6 chip implant that allows you to interface directly with the Dataverse.

• 4-Player Online Co-op: Assemble your Syndicate for global domination. A 4-player, online co-op experience like no other, with chip enhanced gameplay and 9 missions re-imagined from the original Syndicate.

• Visceral FPS Experience: Utilize an upgradable arsenal of futuristic weapons, armor and gear to annihilate your enemies and harvest their chip technology for personal advancement and sinister corporate greed.

• Sci-Fi Fiction: Immerse yourself in the world of Syndicate 2069, with a world-class sci-fi story experience, written by bestselling author Richard Morgan.

Mannanan!

So I was thinking about how everyone loves zombies now and how unique and compelling the basic idea is, a disease that converts your former loved ones into mindless spreaders of that disease, spreaders that are likely to kill you with regular violence.

I just realized that we already have that, it's called fire.

In a world where there's a lot more combustible stuff around, like any city in 1914, it starts to spread...

Great now I wanna watch The Towering Inferno and Backdraft again...
