    So Carrie Prejean, Miss California USA, caused some controversy when Perez Hilton asked her about gay marriage during the Miss USA pageant. Perez Hilton is gay and later called her a "dumb bitch" and posted a photoshopped picture of her doing something with a penis. This was a fucking stupid...

    The Great College Hoax

    I want to say first I think this article isn't perfect. It barely scratches the surface. One of the best things that could come from the depression is the fall of the school-industrial complex. ;) http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2009/0202/060_print.html

    Study Finds High-Fructose Corn Syrup Contains Mercury

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/26/AR2009012601831.html Remember that even without the mercury, HFCS is worse than regular sugar. And why do we have so much HFCS instead of regular sugar? Tariffs on sugar and corn subsidies. Will Obama even try to put a stop to this?

    Voice in XBL/PSN

    Hey I have a quick question and you guys are probably the best to ask. Back when XBL launched pretty much everybody had a headset so you could count on the people you were playing with to have voice. This was pretty cool (I didn't run into a lot of the stereotypical swearing 8-year-olds). So I...

    The future of online co-op

    I'm a huge fan of co-op, and it seems like almost everybody else likes co-op too, but most games still don't have a good co-op mode. Online co-op is especially great because you can't have people over all the time. The most fun I had last gen was probably playing 4 player co-op on XBL in...

    The magic number for consoles is $199, and the 360 reached it first?

    A lot of people have said this before and I would have to agree. When a console's price comes down to $199 or less the impulse to buy it goes way up for me. If you count refurbs, the 360 has already reached that goal, and even if you don't, chances are the MSRP for a 360 will get to $199 before...

    The Wii helps Sony

    Sure it hurts them more, but the Wii is helping Sony too. Right now next gen games tend to be developed for 360 and PS3, and Wii games are separate. It looks like a lot of developers are releasing their Wii games for the PS2 too since they're close in power. So the last gen Wii being a current...

    System rankings by Madden preorders at Wal-Mart

    If anyone cares, I think this is a good way to tell what systems are popular with "mainstream" gamers. 1. PS2 2. 360 3. PS3 4. Xbox 5. Wii 6. PSP 7. GC 8. PC 9. DS I think the only (mild) surprises here are that the PS3 is in 3rd and the PC is lower than even the GC. I guess I knew Madden is...
