Microsoft Corp. and the chief rules enforcer for Xbox Live are apologizing to a small West Virginia town and a 26-year-old gamer accused of violating the online gaming service's code of conduct by publicly declaring he's from Fort Gay - a name the company considered offensive. The town's name is real. But when Moore tried to tell Seattle-based Microsoft and the enforcement team at Xbox Live, they wouldn't take his word for it. Or Google it. Or check the U.S. Postal Service website for a ZIP code. Instead, they suspended his gaming privileges for a few days until Moore could convince them the location in his profile, "fort gay WV," wasn't a joke or a slur: It's an actual community of about 800 in Wayne County, along West Virginia's western border with Kentucky. Stephen Toulouse, director of policy and enforcement for Xbox Live said that was a miscommunication. "Someone took the phrase 'fort gay WV' and believed that the individual who had that was trying to offend, or trying to use it in a pejorative manner," Toulouse said. "Unfortunately, one of my people agreed with that. ... When it was brought to my attention, we did revoke the suspension."

My boy Bartek_pl and I met up at PAX last week. It was truly an example of destiny bringing us together, because we almost didn't meet up at all [deets later, packing to go home now]. But then we did, and played NBA Jam, and lost... together, as bros. Those 20 minutes or so were the greatest of my life!




Plus here's a picture of him winning a badass mousepad for playing the new Medal of Honor!



I'll have the official Need For Speed Booth Babe Special Edition Delux photo up when I get home and have access to a scanner. Until then... I just wish I had worn my planned attire for Saturday, so we could photograph our obscure Vans shirts together. ]]> Off Topic iaacp http://www.multiconsole.com/forums/showthread.php?63814-Two-corrupt-policemen-were-caught-with-escorts-in-Seattle-last-Friday-the-hell Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy coming to PSP next year (General Games) http://www.multiconsole.com/forums/showthread.php?63813-Dissidia-Duodecim-Final-Fantasy-coming-to-PSP-next-year-(General-Games)&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:53:44 GMT Image: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/09/dissidia530pxheaderimgss.jpg (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/08/dissidia-duodecim-final-fantasy-coming-to-psp-next-year/) Square Enix just revealed in the latest issue of Shonen Jump (via Siliconera...
Square Enix just revealed in the latest issue of Shonen Jump (via Siliconera) that a sequel to Dissidia: Final Fantasy will arrive on Japanese PSPs sometime in 2011. Titled "Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy," the new fighter was created specifically as a challenge to website copy editors.

Outside of FFIV's Kain and FFXIII's Lightning, no other playable characters have been confirmed. We get the feeling you'll see an expanded roster of fan-favorite brawlers at next week's Tokyo Game Show.Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy coming to PSP next year originally appeared on Joystiq on Wed, 08 Sep 2010 11:45:00 EST.

Speaking exclusively to CVG, the trade body [BDA] dismissed Microsoft's claims that the de facto gaming storage format to follow DVD will be online downloads and/or streaming. Despite the trash talking, however, the Blu-ray Association said it would have no qualms accepting Microsoft into its ranks - in a kind of 'discreet service available' way. "Any company willing to join [and adopt Blu-ray] would be welcome," added Heaton.

During the Xbox Live Enforcement panel at PAX this past weekend, director of policy and enforcement on Xbox Live, Stephen Toulouse (a.k.a. Stepto), recited "Stepto's Law" for the audience. The complex formula is used to determine the validity of a complaint issued by a banned Xbox Live user. The law goes like this: "The more convoluted, overwrought and lengthy the protest of innocence, the probability of it being bullshit approaches one."

Mass Effect 2 Executive Producer Casey Hudson has shared some juicy statistics about the game with IGN. Basic takeaways are that people really did treat the game as a "shooter," with the soldier class chosen more than every other combined. Also, the women's lib movement for intergalactic saviors still has some work to do, with 80 percent of players choosing the male Shepard.

The "anonymous player data" collected by BioWare is obviously meant to inform the studio in designing future titles. For example, only 15 percent of people skipped conversations in the game, most of the time in "non-critical moments like in the hub worlds." Hudson says that if the company found people skipping 80-90 percent of the lines that they'd have to "reevaluate the work" the team put into digital acting -- and we'd have to reevaluate why people are playing Mass Effect in the first place. Check out IGN's piece for more on how the stats support current decisions and influence future projects.

I honestly thought it would be modern warfare games (not CoD i mean the genre)
for ever after all the newer sci-fi FPS games were garbage (excluding resistance, of course)

but DUDE! this game is just fun! its like, Far cry 2, fallout, ratchet and clank, jack and daxter all got together in a blender.

Only problems with this game are-

1. the vehicle portions. the car gets stuck on everything.
2. the ability to stumble upon an area when you aren't ranked up enough (not-fun)
3. the 100,000 weapons is kinda seeming more like 6 guns and the rest are recoloured versions of those with different rounds.

But even with those things included the game is perfect!

dude, screw call of duty- modern gayfail, lagfield bug company 2, this is honestly the best game I have gotten sense I have had my PS3. ]]> Game and Entertainment Reviews http://www.multiconsole.com/forums/showthread.php?63801-borderlands
