I've never been a huge fan of tattoos, well at least on me. I had my moment of wanting one when I was 18 which quickly vanished when I went to the parlor and it was closed. All set with that. This list over at inkarttattoos.com is all about the ones on video game characters and some real life versions of them. Faith from Mirror's Edge might have the coolest one but that's just me. Something a tad different from people getting Mario or Link tats done. Check out the full list. And just for fun check out the more ridiculous ones at loltatz.com. Nothing like laughing at other people's mistakes to make you feel better about life.

Cool cover art - sadly that's how I sometimes feel when I'm playing Borderlands. BL was pulling big punches as an FPS / RPG hybride, a sweet 4 player co-op title, and just a massive title in general. Then came the drastic art style change in the middle of development. This wasn't a small change by no means, this completely altered the look of the game. A look that, honestly, I was not a fan of when first seeing but has slowly grown on me as a standout style. Overall I'm not disappointed with Borderlands I'm still logging in hours but after getting over the bazillion guns, art style, co-op and FPS/RPG mix, I'm left with a feeling of something is missing to making this post-apocalyptic/Mad Max title perfect....

Part of a balanced breakfast. This would make my day sunny no matter what. Over at the Pancake Project they strive to make the most interesting pancakes/waffles. Like the above Space Invader waffle there is also a Mario waffle that is just out of control. Head over to the site for some ridiculous pancake art.

Yep - Facebook will now be on the PS3 with a slow roll out happening over the next few days with the latest PS3 update. You probably already have it and don't even know it. 360's recent update brought it and now it's everywhere. So now you can update your friends not only about the useless shit you do day in and day out but what video games you're playing too. Thanks to Facebook's recent crappy-ness I'm slowly caring less and less about my friend's daily habits. Sorry friends but error messages don't help me care about your favorite time of day.  

So I think people expected MW2 to kick ass in sales but this is ridiculous. Activision/Blizzard Inc. (both should be thanking God for this) announced that MW2 is shattering all sorts of records - boasting a new worldwide estimated five-day sell-through record of aprox. $550 million. Are you titty-f**kin (TFin') me? This is taking them to the level of biggest entertainment launch in history. It has beaten out all previous first and five day entertainment industry box office, book and video game sell-through records. And I haven't even bought a copy yet. Activision - $550,000,060 will soon be yours. Read on to see a few of the records MW2 is dominating right now.

Umm yea so they're making a sequel. Saw that coming, but after the first one's hype machine lead to an OK game - I'm skeptical. Phrases like 'never before seen visual experience' is being thrown around and I'm not sure what to think. The game will follow the title characters as they wreak havoc in the gritty Shanghai underworld. Hence the foreign language in the logo. Apparently this 'never before seen visual experience' is inspired by documentary filmmakers and the user generated era. So crappy content presented on a shaky handy cam? Awesome. Well I might not be too far off - especially with these two "viral" videos: Bowling for Shanghai and Burger Joint. The bowling one is cool but the Burger Joint one makes no sense. And I'm glad that dog is ok. I hope this isn't the 'new visual experience' cause I'll throw it out there. It'll suck. Work on a new Hitman game. Anyways, K&L Deuce is looking at a 2010 release check the official site for updates.

Can this be made into a movie? Please, anyone? Just go with the title and this cover art and nothing more. I guarantee you'd have a B-movie cult classic on your hands. Well until then I guess we'll have to settle with the indie game by MStar Games! SPFT lends itself to an interesting balance of classic 80's gameplay and themes with the flexibility of the 360. Premise of the game - make cash, kill aliens and keep alive. That is actually my personal motto. SPFT has a completely random mission system meaning no two missions are alike. And with about 6,000 star systems to explore (yes, 6,000), trading missions, races and general free-for-all combat you're looking at a minimum of 100 hrs just to visit all the star systems and alot of variety in gameplay. The title will release through Xbox LIVE Indie Games channel but not before the Peer Review testing which will begin Nov. 16th with expected release within 3 weeks. For more details about the game, screenshots and MStar Games visit their official site.

Today Hothead Games announced that it's indie hit Braid has launched on the Playstation Network in North America with Europe and Asia right around the corner. The new version of the title is "fully integrated with PSN, including trophies." Apparently it runs great and at a smooth 60 FPS. So fire up the PS3 and check out the critically acclaimed puzzler for yourself. For more about Hothead Games visit their official site.
