The Closest Damn Thing To An April Fools Prank You’ll Get Outta Me: Duke Nukem Plays With Several Turds

Friday, April 1st, 2011

The title explains it all, except this ain’t really a joke, just completely immature toilet humor. Man, I totally hate to see this game being delayed a whole ‘nother month. Oh, NSFW and all that; you know the drill, it’s Duke after all.

Dual Wielding Glocks [In A Bikini]

Friday, April 1st, 2011

A video staring a hot chick dual wielding Glocks while wearing only a bikini? Is there any better way to start the day? Possibly, but I can’t think of anything at the moment; too busy re-watching this vid.

Red Storm Interactive On NC Now

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

This video from UNCTV shows the process by which Red Storm Interactive collects the sounds and looks of multiple firearms to further enhance the quality of their own games. They do this by recording the weapons shots at a range, then later having advisers come in with real weapons so they may record all the individual features. This insures the firearms are accurately modeled in their games, especially compared to other development studios. This is something I personally appreciate, because too many times I’ve heard firearms in games that just look and sound completely wrong. If you ask me, the extra effort is well worth it.

FPS Russia

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Youtuber FPS Russia seems to have access to two things: a metric ass-ton of disposable income, and some impressive connections in the firearms trade. In each video he picks from a diverse collection of weaponry, including the appropriate to his namesake AK-47 and the “most powerful handgun on Earth” .500 S&W Magnum revolver. Using these, he puts multiple rounds into everything from melons to soda bottles to paper targets of hostile clowns, and more often than not, he goes fully automatic. At the very least, the videos are pretty entertaining to watch, if only to see firearms most civilians would never dream of having access to. Also, I doubt that accent is real.

Machete Slingshot

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Looking like something out of a action-packed B-movie*, this machete slingshot/crossbow is damn near the coolest, if ‘WTF?’ worthy, DIY project I’ve seen on Youtube. And this is but one of many amazing slingshots from the mind of JoergSprave and his ‘The Slingshot Channel’. But why would he go through the trouble of building something this impractically awesome? It was in response to a challenge from the Youtube community A.K.A. because he could. At least this proves when we run out of bullets, and we want something a bit more intimidating than arrows to launch from our bows, large blades are always an option.

*Attention Robert Rodriguez: Here’s something to consider for the eventual Machete sequel.

Zombie Killing Spree

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

TheFilmFestRejects have possibly created one of the best zombie vids available on Youtube to date! It’s a sweet combination of gear, guns, and the undead, with a score system to match. And it’s all done with a comic filter that simply looks beautiful. However, the film does suffer a crime against reason: at the time of writing, it was only at 152 views. Spread the word to remedy this immediately!

House: Zombie Hunter

Monday, March 28th, 2011

“Good thing I brought my axe-cane.”

I think the above line pretty much sums up how awesome this clip is. But wait, there’s more! It also converts into a shotgun! And do I detect a Wilhelm scream? Why yes, yes I do.

Gerber Bear Grylls Parang

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

The Gerber Bear Grylls Parang is a parang machete which features an angled blade made from high carbon steel, full tang construction, a textured rubber grip, and a lanyard cord attached to the grip for additional security. It stores in a nylon sheath which is ‘military-grade’ and mildew resistant. In addition, the sheath also has land to air rescue instructions and SOS sewn to the outside, and you also receive a pocket guide of Bear’s survival essentials.

I bought one yesterday for clearing some vegetation in my yard. Not the original intention for the blade, I’m sure, but I did find it’s not very sharp. Not a good quality for something meant for survival. It might be alright on zombies, though, since their flesh is already starting to decay.

You can check it out at: http://bear.gerbergear.com/gear/parang/

How Special Forces Quietly Opens Velcro

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

We all know how velcro can easily give away a position in a tactical situation. Well, youtuber woodswisdom offers a method to combat this disadvantage. It’s a Special Forces (US Rangers) method he was taught for opening velcro without alerting anyone to the noise. Enjoy.

New Captain America: The First Avenger Trailer

Friday, March 25th, 2011

I’ll admit I had my doubts about this film, but if this trailer is any indication, this movie will do Captain America much justice. It looks a helluva lot better than what that crappy-looking Thor movie is turning out to be. Also, Tony Stark’s dad! I haven’t been this excited about a fictional account of WWII since INglourious Basterds, but there’s little chance we’ll see any Hitler death in this one.

Captain America: The First Avenger is due in theaters July 22nd.

Duke Nukem Forever Delayed Again. In Other News, [Insert Something Obvious Here]

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

Duke Nukem Forever was almost literally taking forever to be released. It suffered countless engine changes, numerous, non-engine related delays, and even the studio developing it closing down for good, all over a 14 year period. Then, the one game we thought would never be released was finally in sight. Many gamers jumped for joy when they saw it in playable form at PAX Prime 2010, or the trailer on the internet made from nearly-complete gameplay, and all the media outlets saying the same thing: DNF will be relased March 3rd! Finally!

…And then Gearbox Software Head Honcho Randy Pichford had to release this video:

To his credit he does seem genuinely surprised the game is taking another month to be released. And he knows the fans are out for his blood, now. Just keep an eye on it, Randy! First it’s a month, then it’s 6 months, and before you know it, March 3rd, 2024 is the new release date. But that’s all right, because his head will have been on a pike long before that time.

Crysis 2 Has Arrived

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

So Crysis 2 came out yesterday. I’ll admit with all the other games coming out it kind of went unnoticed by me, but I’ll be picking it up anyway. After all, who doesn’t want to be a soldier in a super powered nanosuit defending New York City from an alien invasion? If you need a bit more convincing, however, just check out this vid:

He’s like The Predator in that suit! Except, you know, in a good video game. And if the previous Crysis was any indication, you’ll need a PC of near Brainiac-level computing power to even hope to run the game on its lowest settings. That’s why I’ll stick with the 360 version, thank you very much.

SSD After Dark – Major Fox Keeps Your Riser Up

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

Well it’s dark somewhere. Ever had trouble keep it up? Your stock’s cheek riser, that is. Recently, we published an article about Victor Company’s Accu-Stack Comb Risers. While we think we did a pretty good job of explaining what they do, Victor Company produced this commercial to show the benefits of their Accu-Stack Comb Risers and it will probably be the best thing you see, all day (or night). Despite our tagline it is safe for work.

Batman: Arkham City “This Ain’t No Place For A Hero”

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

With a proper blend of action and story, Rocksteady released what was truly the first great Batman game, Batman: Arkham Asylum, in 2009. Now, they’re planning to do it again with the upcoming sequel, Batman: Arkham City. Since the events of the last game, Warden Quincy Sharp, now the Mayor of Gotham, bought out large portions of the city’s slums and had them converted into a pseudo-prison housing both the inmates of Blackgate prison and Arkham asylum, with a private military contractor serving as the guards. In addition to this madness, the warden of the new Arkham is Hugo Strange, a dangerous and calculating individual that has deduced Batman’s true identity. From this video, it looks as though the game is coming along nicely, and new features such as an updated ‘detective mode’, improved combat, and improved mobility are much welcome additions. Arkham City doesn’t come out until October, so there’s plenty of time left to finalize and perfect the game, which is both a blessing and a curse. After all, who wants to wait to hear Mark Hamill’s expertly performed Joker this one last time?

REDRUM: The Shining 2 (A Duke Nukem 3D Mod)

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

What’s better than an interactive tribute/sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Shining’? One staring Duke Nukem of course. Although the premise of a “U.S. Marines Special Operative” (yes, that’s seriously Duke’s role in this game) being recruited to deal with the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel and all it’s supernatural horrors is a little ‘out there’, the amazing attention to detail of the mod more than makes up for it.

Visit http://www.unrealaudio.net/theshining2/download.htm for information about the mod, including screenshots, downloads, and the short story the mod itself is based on.

Kel-Tec Shotgun Updated Overview

Monday, March 7th, 2011

The KSG (Kel-Tec Shotgun) pulled a lot of buzz during SHOT Show, due to its 14+1 shotshell capacity and [semi] unique bullpup design. It also happens to be on my personal list of must have firearms for this year. This video shows some updates done to the design since SHOT, some good, some bad. For example, fixing the trigger reset was a big win. Cutouts on the magazine tubes as an ammo indicator; good in theory, but a potentially harmful entryway for dust and debris. Still, the KSG won’t be released until later this year, so it’s entirely possible that the design can be further refined by then. Even so, I still hate waiting for the newest futuristic-looking scattergun to finally be in my hands. Where’s Doc Brown and the DeLorean when you need ’em?

Find Makarov – A Modern Warfare Fan Film

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

This is the trailer for ‘Find Makarov’, a fan film based on Infinity Ward and Activision’s Modern Warfare property. The website where all of this started, findmakarov.com, led many fans and media to believe it would lead to some information on Modern Warfare 3. However, Activision was quick to debunk these rumors, saying there is currently no plans to announce the much anticipated title, or any CoD game for that matter. Instead it’s a creation of We Can Pretend, a creative collective based in Toronto, Canada. Although this doesn’t have anything to do with MW3, the awesomeness of the film does take some of the sting out of not hearing about a new Call of Duty. Also, I keep reading it’s a ‘trailer’, and that term usually means there will be a much longer film out at some point. If it retains the same quality then it’ll definitely be something worth waiting for.

Make Any Glock Full-Auto

Friday, March 4th, 2011

With SIGG’s FSSG drop-in selector switch. It replaces the rear slide plate on any model Glock and allows the user to switch between full and semi-auto, up to 1200 RPM. Although the legality of making your pistol full-auto varies by location, the price one of these switches is going for on this auction is almost too good a deal to pass up. Of course it always helps to see it in action before you buy:

And when I said any model Glock, I meant it: that’s a Glock 35, which fires .40 caliber. Wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that.

Thanks goes to The Firearms Blog.

Battlefield 3 Trailer: Fault Line Episode 1 “Bad Part Of Town”

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

The first part of an episodic gameplay trailer for Battlefield 3, the upcoming release from DICE. The game already looks amazing, running on a pre-alpha build, and it looks suitably realistic compared to other recent war titles. I’ve also noticed the models of the scope and rifle look very similar to those found in Medal of Honor’s multiplayer. The second part of the trailer comes out on the 16th this month.

LEGO Battle Of Hoth

Saturday, February 26th, 2011

This LEGO layout is just epic. It’s so epic, that if it were made into an actual set, the instructions included with it would easily, and literally, blow the mind of any 12-year-old foolhardy enough to attempt to build it. Built by Bo Jensen of Copenhagen, Denmark, the layout was recently presented at LEGO World 2011. It’s constructed from 1,500,000 individual bricks and took over a thousand man hours to complete, and includes 5 AT-ATs with two of them that walk, moving speederbikes and Snowspeeders, and a detailed interior of the rebel base, among other features. The only thing that could possibly top this is a layout of the final battle in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Any takers?

RAGE – Untethered Trailer

Saturday, February 19th, 2011

A new release from Id software that looks to combine the best of both Fallout and Borderlands? Yes please! Too bad we have to wait until September 16th to enjoy it.

Zombie Island Announcement Trailer

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

From what I could dig up it’s a FPS (First Person Shooter) that takes place on a resort island called Banoi that undergoes a zombie infestation. And unlike most other zombie titles, you won’t be loaded with firearms and be a one-man zombie killing machine. Instead, the goal is survival, reportedly using anything you can get your hands on to fight back the undead hoard. This includes kitchen knives, pipes, even tree branches, and items can be combined to improve their usefulness. However, since you’re an Average Joe, your not the most competent fighter alive. To remedy this, an in-game skill tree can be used to improve your character’s combat proficiency. Character models also feature real time damage, and individual bones can be destroyed, so one poorly placed blow can be the difference between a headless zombie, and one just missing a jaw. Plus, based on the trailer, it seems to be taking a more emotional and realistic look at a zombie outbreak, which is just fantastic, provided some group doesn’t bitch about there being zombie children.

It’s being developed by Polish developer Techland, who are most famously known for the Call of Juarez games. If you ask me, going from a Western series to a modern day Zombie game is a pretty big leap, especially considering the abundance of the Zombie theme in current culture. Still, considering the game has been in development for at least 3 years, and the vastly different tone when compared to similar titles, this looks like it’ll be a huge hit when it finally gets released.

Whip, Kick, BOOM Bulletstorm Trailer

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

A trailer for the upcoming game Bulletstorm, which further shows off the skill shot system that rewards players with points for creative kills. These points then can be used to purchase better in-game weaponry and abilities. Although the music is a little too ’12-year-old’s MW2 sniper montage’ for my taste, the game does look sick (in a good way) and is sure to have uptight “parenting” groups in a rage when in comes out on the 22nd. And as the video reminds you, Bulletstorm isn’t going to pre-order itself; you have 5 days.
