PSN is eating shit, Sony's on it.

Earlier today PlayStation owners began experiencing problems logging on to the PSN and playing games. Apparently its not affecting the newer slim models and only older George Foreman grill models... like mine. Fuck my life.

While they have not said anything official, Sony knows they fucked up and tweeted "We're aware that many of you are having problems connecting to PSN, and yes, we're looking into it. Stay tuned for updates."

The gaming community is also saying that systems affected by the issue are getting their internal clocks reset and most of their trophies corrupted.

Since its possible my PS3 can be affected by this I am going to go cuddle with it and tell it everything is going to be ok.

1. Bayonetta is hotter.
2. No towns!? Lmao.
3. A black guy who hides animals in his afro...
4. God of War III.
5. Bad Company 2.

7. A little kid with a boomerang or kite or whatever is in your party.
8. Because "Thunder" isn't a name.
9. For every copy purchased a stroller is flipped by a small asian man.

Off to a good start!

Welcome to BVG! I've made a change to the blog so that every different member of BVG will now show up as a different author. Now we'll be able to see which person is posting.

We're getting there gentlemen, one step at a time.

DICE and Infinity Ward being nice to each other? This is madness!!

DICE has been trying real hard to convince people that Bad Company 2 will trump Infinity Ward's extremely successful Modern Warfare 2, while Infinity Ward is trying to maintain its dominance on the FPS genre. But the two companies put down their swords and wished each other the best on Twitter.

Infinity Ward's head honcho Robert Bowling: "Enjoy every minute of it man. You guys deserve it. Hope you snag some downtime to enjoy it with the family as well."

Bad Company 2 lead game designer David Goldfarb responded with "Thanks man! Hope you are enjoying the fruits of success too! And I expect to see you online, squad rush style."

The BVG team is really looking forward to Bad Company 2, I hope we wont be disappointed.

Crazy Japanese guy carves a Big Daddy sculpture

I found this awesome video over at gamesradar.com. This guy got creative and decided to use a chainsaw to carve a Big Daddy sculpture, the end result is awesome. Bravo you crazy Japanese bastard, bravo.

Nintendo likes gay jokes too!

The original Super Mario Galaxy will always be remembered for its secret messages, specific letters on the Super Mario Galaxy box art had little stars on them and when you single the letters out it spelled "UR MR GAY". With the release of the Super Mario Galaxy 2 box art people rushed to see if they did it again, but due to the fact that they changed the stars it no longer spells anything. Unless you read it backwards, now it reads "YA I M R U". Way to go Nintendo what a great way to make young children and grannies question their sexuality, I didn't know you had it in you. I'm so proud.

Sports stars get cool free shit, who knew?

It must be nice to be a famous basketball player with money, private jets, rape charges, and huge fucking gaming cases. 2k games gave gaming suitcases to basketball players for being famous, good for them. At first I was a little pissed, I hate when famous people get cool shit like that but apparently it only plays NBA 2k10 so I could really care less now.

"I'm like the James Bond of gaming," Bryant said in terms of the suitcase. "I bring this on the plane with me and let the guys play."

Yeah well I hope your plane crashes while you play your boring game you fucking bitch.

Bioshock 2 Multiplayer fail?

Foe: After beating Bioshock 2 for the second time around, I became hungry for more Rapture action and excitement. With haste, I booted up the multiplayer. You awake blurry eyed and all with a empty bottle of EVE in front of you and young Andrew Ryan calls for your help to save Rapture. Needless to say, the prologue for the event got me pretty hyped.

After setting up my plasmids and my two choices of lame weapons; shotgun and pistol, I joined a game. I chose the game civil war which is just team deathmatch with Andrew Ryan and Fontaine Futuristics. The game started and the horror ensued. Not only was the gameplay chunky but the whole physics of the game felt like a bad second thought. Why would Bioshock need a multiplayer? Who thought of the idea to add it in? These were the thoughts I was thinking while I sluggishly killed noobs and threw relatively ineffective plasmids at enemies.

My advice to anyone who wants more action after fully beating Bioshock 2 is to play another game until DLC or something better comes out. I'm just surprised that Mr.Bubbles let this happen and didn't smash the development team in a flurry of drills and rivets before this multiplayer could be integrated with this game.

Just Cause 2 Demo

The Just Cause 2 Demo has been announced to be available for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC on March 4th. The game itself will be released on March 23rd. Personally, I'm not too excited for this free world game. Based on the demo and the free world destruction they are promising, it might measure up to Red Dead Redemption that will be released in April. We will see.

CEO complains about liscensed games

Avalanche CEO Christofer Sundberg is crying because he feels that shit games like James Cameron's Avatar: The Game should not be released and should instead be canceled. He claims that games like Avatar give licensed games a bad reputation. What the fuck kind of reputation does this guy think they have? The entire gaming community agrees with this man, me included, but out of everyone a CEO should know the reason for licensed games.

And as long as gullible fanboys who got boners while watching Avatar buy that shit, then it will never stop.

Hollywood's interested in Heavy Rain movie.

New Line Cinema wants to make a movie based off a game that tries to be a movie. Let's all try and look surprised.

Since the most time I have spent with the game is watching George play 30 min of it, I'm neither excited or uninterested. But the game has some fucking horrible voice acting, so I guess anything could be better than that.

Bad Company 2 TV spot

March 2nd is just around the corner and EA knows it. They are wasting no time marketing the shit out of Bad Company 2 and they are going to need to if they want any chance at taking on Modern Warfare. This game looks bad ass and from the limited time I had with the game, I can already say I enjoy it 10x more than Modern Warfare. And that's saying a lot. I'm now going to watch this ad on loop 'til March 2nd.

Mass Effect 2 DLC

According to a recent announcement by BioWare, the DLC that everyone has been begging for is coming out for Mass Effect 2 in March. Titled "Firewalker," the new DLC will feature 5 new missions. Supposedly, these new missions will involve a land-vehicle called the "Hammerhead," a hover tank. Everyone who played the original Mass Effect may be a little less than enthusiastic about this, as the previous vehicle, the Mako, was one of the biggest flaws of the first game, though if Bioware handles the new vehicle the way they handled the rest of the game to this point (with maybe the exception of mining) then this may not be such a bad pack.

And at the price of free (as long as you have the Cerberus network, that is), there's not much you can argue with.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 day one DLC

I'm not a fan of having DLC on the first day. It makes no fucking sense. But this gameplay still looks amazing regardless. Excuse me while I go masturbate.

Plumber on Dino Action

At first I was not excited about Mario Galaxy 2 until I found this gem. I'm so excited right now and I'm not talking about just my extremely small erection. I'm actually a little jealous, I don't think I have ever looked that happy while I had sex.

New Zelda this year. Oh shit.

In an interview conducted over at wired, Nintendo's Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing Cammie Dunaway hinted that a new Legend of Zelda would come out this year. Even going so far as to promise the interviewer Chris Kohler a steak dinner if it did not. Nintendo also gave release dates for Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M at their media summit earlier in the week. Having not finished Super Mario Galaxy or Twilight Princess, I'm not that excited by the news. I guess we will just have to wait 'til June when I'm sure they will show it off at E3.

The first entry!

Hello, this is Foe! I'm excited and happy that me and my friends are moving forward with a project we started in here in little old Tracy. We hope to bring more people news about gaming and expand the gaming community to those who may not know to much about it. We hope to bring you up-to-date news and information about the latest games and developments. Finally, we hope to bring you a laugh or two also. I know no one will probably read this but thanks for supporting us if anyone decides to follow us. :P

Hello, this is Foe on the first posting of Boss VG.
