This is going to be painful, but I’ll walk you through it. Do you trust me? Good.
First, grab a something to write with. Shamble over to your calendar. Flip your calendar to November 2nd or November 3rd (depending where you live). See those two letters and a number that read “GT5”? Next, take a deep breath.
Now, cross it off.
GT5 has been delayed in Europe, Japan and the US. AGAIN.
Via the US PS Blog:
“We can confirm that Gran Turismo 5 will not be available this November 2nd, but the game’s release will be coming this holiday season. We sincerely apologize to GT fans for the delay, however, creator Kazunori Yamauchi and the team at Polyphony Digital want to make certain they are creating the perfect racing experience, and we are confident that this ambitious game will exceed expectations when it launches.”
Michael Jackson. Even in death, the murmur of that name will continue to echo throughout our society for a kajillion years.
Why?
Because a Michael Jackson MMO is in works.
SEE Virtual Worlds and the Estate of Michael Jackson announced today that Planet Michael is a thing, and it’s happening. This MMMO (Musical Massively Multiplayer Online) (see what I did there) will be just what the title implies—players will explore a Michael Jackson themed planet.
The game will be free-hee-hee to download.
I know, terrible joke. I’m so sorry.
Taken from the press release:
[Planet Michael] will be an immersive virtual space themed after iconic visuals drawn from Michael’s music, his life and the global issues that concerned him. Entire continents will be created that will celebrate Michael’s unique genius in a way that underscores his place as the greatest artist of all time. Michael’s longtime fans will feel at home as they find themselves in places that seem familiar and yet unknown at the same time, and new generations will discover and experience Michael’s life in a way never before imagined. At its core, Planet Michael is a massive social gaming experience that will allow everyone, from the hardcore fan to the novice, to connect and engage in collaborative in-game activities with people worldwide.

This is holy grail of all the Star Wars posters. It combines the bad assness of every movie into one gigantic cluster of awesome. For the remainder of Star Wars Day, it is highly recommended that your wallpaper be set to this or any other Star Wars themed desktop background to honor the greatest saga of all time. Thanks. That is all.
[Thanks to Drew, who has his desktop background set to Jar Jar Binks smiling.]
This is a video of a chick that totally nails the plot of Star Wars without even having seen the movie. It’s unbelievable! Talk about one in a million! It’s like she has psychelepathy or something!
Okay not really. This animated movie is the Star Wars plot, narrated by a girl who has never seen the movie and couldn’t be farther from being correct. It’s pretty funny, but really, it just makes me want to glue some headphones playing Weird Al Yankovic’s – The Saga Begins to her ears. That’ll teach her right!
Idea factory is creating a game for Japanese Xbox 360 owners where you’ll create and design your very own virtual wife. In the game, My Wife: A Bride Just For You, you’ll be able to customize your wife by choosing her looks, voice & personality and then start playing as virtual newlyweds. Weeird.
I don’t know how I feel about this idea seeing as how in Fable, I always cheated or got sick of my wives. I’d take them to the Hobbe Caves & let the Hobbes have at her so my purity level wouldn’t go down! Amiright or amiright or AMIRIGHT?!?! I just see this game getting boring, very fast, OR, I see extremely weird people playing it and ending up with unrealistic standards of women or some ridiculous ass relationship guidelines. Either way, I think those games are best left to the imagination and not on Xbox.
If there are two games in this world that I’ve spent waaaaaaaaaay too much time on, it’s definitely gotta be:
1. Farmville
& 2. Bejeweled Blitz
Ohh Facebook, what a ridiculous gaming goldmine you are!
Facebook games are all the rage right now. So much so, that some game apps have even started going mobile! That’s right! Imagine having Farmville on your iPhone or Andriod!
All day you’ll be.. “Harvestin’ crops (*LIKE A BOSS*), and plowing crops (*LIKE A BOSS*), at the store (*LIKE A BOSS*), or in the lot (*LIKE A BOSS*)..” -OK that’s enough!
Now seriously, with the amount of time needed to play these games and because they are less rewarding than working in a Bangladeshi sweat shop, is this craze really worth getting into?
Here’s some responses:
“i love some but others are just cheap knockoffs of popuar ones. The best one is Mindjolt games, they offer a smorgasborg of interesting and old-skool games” – C Los Oliver
“I’ve got Wow & Bioshock. I don’t need no stinkin’ Facebook games!” – sailortweek
“I play ones like mafia and castle age, but the biggest problem is that they are down so much I just go back to my psp or ds.” – Nick Enderle
“I like only one of them. Starfleet Commander Extreme. It takes skill and it is a a fun game where you can get to know others and just have a fun time. It takes a about a week for you to get built up but once you are it is sweet.” – Jacob Gerber
“facebook games are an indicator of your friends becoming housewives or a stay at home mom (Farmville), M.Wars = bored at work” – DiscoParty
“HATE them! Spams up the timeline and people need to move on and play decent games like on the wii haha” – ER_nut
Annnnd the winner!! “they arnt games though, there more like ” to keep you on the computer longer while u sit and wait for another comment or message” kinda games lolol although my father loves farmville.lol” – Scott Mathews
What I think: Facebook games are time eaters. They pollute my feed and are addictive enough to make me stay on the computer for the entire day. (Pshaw, pretending like I don’t already!) I say this as a recovering farmer who was incredibly obsessed with Farmville! I had to delete my Farmville after I reached level 41 because I felt that it was getting out of hand. Luckily, I never wasted a penny on the game, but just believe me when I tell you to STAY CLEAR of ADDICTIVE FACEBOOK GAMES! They will consume your life and you deserve better!!!
