Put simply, there is a right way to hang the toilet paper, and a wrong way. Read on to determine the status of your own roll.

Toilet paper has a natural curve, a way of being that lends itself to certain orientations on the toilet paper spool.* If handled with skill and knowledge, it can provide an abundance of both sanitation and comfort, quilted together in each square of pillowy ply. If handled with clumsy ignorance, or worse, carelessness, it will beset the user with pain, filth, and frustration. Don’t let it end this way, with you curled on the tile floor of the stall, weeping in frustration, covered in wasted papier de toilette. To convince you, we’ve created some diagrams, harnessing the power of SCIENCE, to demonstrate the natural benefits of the...

Doesn't look like too much has changed...
Don't know what that antenna could be used for though
I swear, the best addition that could be included in a new PSP would be internal storage in my opinion (keep your fingers crossed?)

Today I was very very bored, and had Frank Black's "Gimme Danger" cover stuck in my head. This was of course performed for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2's soundtrack and was used in trailers and whatnot. Couldn't find the song anywhere, so I decided to try to download the video off Youtube, and convert it to MP3. It worked, but the quality was shitty xP. So I finally downloaded the song off the new Rhapsody store for 99 cents (DRM free music ftw. I'll be using Rhapsody for now on.)

This got me thinking about why there has been no information on GRAW 3. I was a HUGE fan of GRAW 1, and GRAW 2 was great as well. These days, I never seem to play single player campaigns, but I made sure to finish both campaigns in the GRAW series. I thought the gameplay was very refreshing, and story was interesting enough. The multiplayer was also one of my favorites this gen. Much more tactical than say Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4. Some of my best times on XBL were on GRAW 1/2....

A reader on Kotaku sent this tip in earlier.
Supposedly, he had received the display box at his job to put out on shelves...

I'm sure this is just a terrible mix up, but imagine the possibilities! I would LOVE to purchase this game on PC :P

I'd like to begin by saying this is going to be a pretty straight forward copy/paste from an original article.
Don't like to do this too often, but I felt this was a pretty interesting story...
I have left out a little bit so that it would fit this post (Damn 1000 character limit...)

SAN FRANCISCO -- Ubisoft felt the full force of San Francisco's two dozen or so most dedicated daytime protesters Wednesday, as the mostly ruly mob descended upon the gamemaker's headquarters to have a good old-fashioned demonstration.

At issue was the company's Xbox 360 version of America's Army, the Department of Defense-funded shooter that purports to present a realistic simulation of military operations. The game, or so the logic went, is being used in violation of "international...

After the announcement that E for All Expo would be using Fatal1ty as their poster boy for next year's event, the guys at Penny Arcade have announced that Fatal1ty will NOT be invited, let alone even allowed entry into the Penny Arcade Expo 2008:

Quote: World’s Top Gamer “Fatal1ty” will not be at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) PAX is proud to announce that they will not be welcoming E-sportsman Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel to the event. “There is no one else in the video game industry quite like Fatal1ty and we’re thrilled that he won't be attending our show” said Gabe, Chief Executive Officer of the Penny Arcade Expo, the greatest video game festival in the universe. “Seriously, if he even tries to come we'll kick him out.”

Looks like they have some pretty nice stuff to give out with pre-orders.

Let me begin with how I first fell in love with the Tony Hawk series. Back in 2000, I begged my father to purchase me a copy of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for the Playstation 1. I had to wait a few months, but finally I got it as a birthday present. I was so excited... I played the crap out of it for not only months, but years... I was still playing that same copy of THPS2 even when Tony Hawk's Underground 2 came out. To this day, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is one of the greatest games I have ever played..

This didn't mean I missed the others though. I went on to purchase 3 and 4 on release, and eventually Tony Hawk's Underground 1 and 2. 3 and 4 were very well done in my opinion, with 4 being better than 3. As for the Tony Hawk's Underground series, this was what I think the beginning of the end of the series. THUG 1 was actually a decent game, but nowhere near the amazing THPS series. THUG 2 was probably the worst Tony Hawk game I had ever played. It felt more like an episode...

According to Kotaku.com, they have unexpectedly received a preview copy of Ghostbusters: The Videogame. As BlueSwim wrote about in his blog post, Activision had dropped the game recently, so this is quite surprising. Sounds like the developers are trying to reassure to gamers that the game is still alive, and will eventually be released.

From Kotaku:

Quote: This is downright odd. Just two days after word hit that Activision was taking inventory of future Sierra titles, including Ghostbusters The Video Game and Brutal Legend, and trying to decide which to publish and which to mothball, I received this in the mail. That's right, a preview copy of Ghostbusters The Video Game. The letter, written by the Evil PR Ninja Monkey (that's actually his title) at Activision Blizzard says that the hands-on preview code is not embargoed and that I can write about

T.C. is a great cat. We got him from the pet shelter about 3 years ago.
He's an indoor cat (busy street outside of our home )

Figured I'd post a few pictures of him here!
If you are wondering about the photos above the cat's food bowl,
the first one is of my grandparents' cat Mooch.
The second one is of the tiger we saw at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium.

Got these in the mail today!

First of all, I got my complete/mint copy of Metal Gear for NES. I'm actually very surprised at the condition, considering it is now a 20 year old game. Got it for $53 shipped USPS Priority from gametz.com, which I felt was a pretty fair price (some go for about $90 shipped on eBay)

Second of all, I replaced my copy of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance for PC. My original copy had a busted up box, and the disk had some scratches. Sold it on eBay for $22, then got this complete/mint copy from Craigslist for $20 shipped.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I received a copy of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater a few days ago.
I traded my $5 copy of Metroid Prime Pinball for it!

Anyways, I have a few more things coming in the mail that are MGS related.
- Calorie Mate from MGS3 (Getting it from a Japanese seller on eBay.)

Although it hasn't been too much of a problem lately, I have a few suggestions that could potentially improve the quality of posts here on CAG.

To begin with, I would consider possibly putting a limitation on creating blog posts before a member reaches a required amount of say 100-200 posts in the forums. Or to avoid possible spam, maybe make it a time requirement (Be a member for 3 to 6 months)?

Another suggestion that I'd make is maybe getting dedicated blog moderators. I'm not sure about the current situation with how the blogs are moderated, but it would be great to have a group of moderators who are specifically assigned to the CAG blogs.

The following posts inspired this post:

Sounds like Sony is finally giving us a reason to pay for their new Qore content.
Those who purchase episode 3 of Qore will gain access to the Resistance 2 beta taking place this September.

I haven't even played the first game, as I just bought a PS3 about a month ago. Might give this a shot though.
I must say, an episode of Qore costs less than Crackdown (Halo 3 beta anyone? )

UPDATE:
The guys at Insomniac have contacted Kotaku earlier today,
hoping to clear up the deal with Qore's Resistance 2 Beta :

Quote: Here's the deal. We are running a Public Beta, and you will have many ways to get in. The best way which will give you the earliest access to the beta will involve a pre-order program that should be announced soon, (for those of you who don't know what pre-ordering is, you essentially reserve your copy with five dollars down, and that
