Today kicked off the opening ceremonies for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England. The world’s best and brightest will take part in a test of will, strength, courage, and ability! I however, will be testing the different flavors of microwave popcorn in my house, enjoying the trials and tribulations from afar. Perhaps all this heroic competition will even get me playing some multi-player games. Across the network we also celebrated things that were not so physically strenuous....

What would you do if you won? If you went to any kind of day job in the States today, your conversations probably included a mention of tonight’s interstatePowerballdrawing. Clocking in at a sweet $550 million, the little gamble was too much to resist. In my office we each chipped in 10 bucks, hoping that tomorrow might actually be our last day in the office. The question is, “What would I do with all that money?...

Big monsters, little console With too many games announcedyears before they’ll ever see the light of day on store shelves, I really get a kick out of those titles that go from reveal to release in just a couple of months.

Bandai Namco announced its localization just a few months ago....

Pizza, french fries It might not be a completely new discovery, but thisZelda: Breath of the Wildvideo from T_rashbin was worth sharing anyway.

If you watch the embedded MSN report on its release, you’ll find that the newscasters seem to find the notion abhorrent, or at least in bad taste, even if they don’t explicitly say so. Before launching into a fit of apoplectic rage, ponder a few questions with me, after the jump. What makesSpecial Force 2tasteless, as opposed to the slew of army- and combat-based FPS that saturate the market?

My eyes and ears are ready A new Reggie Fils-Aime SXSW panel? Don’t mind if I do!
