Grand Theft Auto Online Details Revealed - IGN

THERE. GOES. MY. LIFE.

 Some tidbits from the IGN article:

over 500 missions will be available in GTA Online when it launches, some of which can be completed solo while others will require you to team up. All of them take place after the conclusion of the single-player game, meaning some familiar faces will make an appearance. If you make friends with the right people you'll also be granted bonuses (for example, biker gangs may offer mission support or a hacker can hide you on the radar in multiplayer matches).

The point of the game is to amass heaps of cash and buy assets such as cars and houses; houses will have space for storing cars, with cheap ones offering two garage spaces compared to expensive penthouses holding ten. You'll want to visit ATMs often too, as rival players can kill you and take any cash you have on you at the time. If you're unlucky enough to be robbed though, you can put a bounty on the perpetrator's head in a bid to get some revenge.

That's great and all Rockstar, but will we be able to do this online?

 Well at least after the expo, you could use it as a tire swing...or a sex harness.

2 Mello - Nastlevania

Melanin Brooks 7:00 AM | , , , , ,

If you know me, you know I'm keen to a hip-hop/videogame mashup.  Came across this tumbling down this rabbit hole we call the internet and thought it was pretty dope.   Producer 2 Mello takes tunes from the Castlevania franchise and puts them to some of Nas' best work ("You Owe Me" notwithstanding.)

I Don't Wanna Be A Gamer No More

Melanin Brooks 1:55 PM |

 Disclaimer: Disclaimers are for pussies. I know my brush strokes are broad this entry. If I offend you, fuck it...write a blog.




I've been fighting with myself on whether or not to write this entry.  Not because I don't believe in what I'm writing on this page wholeheartedly, but because a good majority of the internet lacks basic reading comprehension and context will vanish from my words.

Why should the world give a fuck about gamers?  Seriously.

It seems we've adopted apathy as our mascot.  We step on flowers, kick puppies and take candy from babies; LOLing all the way.  Strutting about like the lone house cat of a spinster.  The world must stop what it's doing and move out of your god-damn way, because you know, "I play video games."

The bullied have become the bullies, but those bullies want that pope-mobile protection when their pastime is put under the microscope.  Meanwhile a good number of gamers will spew out more threats and slurs before most of us have had our morning coffee.  Politicians and pundits aren't pulling these theories out of thin air (sans Fox News, but when aren't they pulling stuff from their asses?)

Are we a community?  I guess.  Is it dysfunctional? Yup.  Now, don't get it twisted that I'm expecting a nerd version of "We're All in the Same Game."  I'm just expecting a little more respect and a lot more empathy.

At this point, I'm ashamed to be lumped in with the lot of you assholes.  I'm still going to play through it though.
