Back in the day, things were simple. We’d pop into our computer lab and play some Half-Life deathmatch. LAN-status (and a few privileged folk probably played it online, too). The 1998 game has turned 10 this week and Valve is discounting the game to 98 cents until tomorrow.
It’s cheap enough to buy a few copies…no need for the “3333-33333-3333″ dummy key.

Jeff Cannata, of “The Totally Rad Show” fame, linked his “followers” to this reinvention of Living End’s “Prisoner of Society” from Guitar Hero World Tour. It was on the Twitter feed, we figured we’d share it with the rest of you not stuck on the “next Myspace” app:
Personally, would have swooned at a Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Sonic Youth rendition but we’re not an uptight bunch. We can deal this once “Bike Hero.” Just this once…

One of our favorite commentators on the site, Adrian Otero, joins Carlos today to talk a bit about MTV finally getting Apple Corps to loosen their grip on the Beatles license. Thrifty/Sav-on talk ensues…you listen in.
Bonus! “Dan in Real Life is a movie that came out last year…”
2008 looks to be the year of the dog in role-playing games — and flamethrower in FPSs — as gamers can already attest to in Fable II. That guy is…just helpful! Growling when enemies approach and barking when treasure is present.
Anyway, this is about Fallout 3, the next game to exploit dog action. Dogmeat can find ammo, health and other assorted goodies in the world. 1up’s MyCheats put together a video on where to find him, which you can see after the break… Continue reading »
I’ve played plenty of MMO’s. Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft and Age of Conan. The common denominators are… PC and monthly fees. Something tells me ‘The Agency’ will be different… a GOOD different. I asked the questions — Will we see monthly fees when The Agency makes it’s way to the PS3? When can we expect a release date of The Agency? How customizable will the game be? The Interview below…
We’re excited that a spy-themed MMO shooter will make it’s way to a console, the PlayStation 3. Dressing in our most convincing attire and speaking as smooth as Vanilla Ice in ‘Cool as Ice’, we asked Lead Writer and Game Designer Matt Staroscik several questions that he was “permitted” to confirm.
There’s been rumors that SOE plans to charge a monthly fee for ‘The Agency’ based on it being an MMO. If true, will this fee be limited to the PC or will both platforms (PC and PS3) see this monthly charge?
The Powers That Be are considering a number of approaches. To stay flexible, the way we are building the game content makes us compatible with a lot of different options. Our executives will be closely watching how Free Realms is received, and applying any lessons learned there to future products like The Agency.
Whatever they decide, I would be very surprised if any payment scheme was not identical for PC and PS3 players.

Just like his favorite team last night, Juan makes a comeback after being 5-0 this week. Carlos joins in the fun and they talk about the recently delayed LittleBigPlanet (for a whole week! ZOMG!) and they share their thoughts on Yoda/Darth Vader infecting the 360/PS3 via DLC.
Bonus! Red Sox make a huge comeback — and Juan misses it.

In this special “un-smoked on” edition we delve into the new Bioshock 2 teaser trailer making the rounds online, Portal’s trek to Xbox Live, and San Andreas will be an Xbox Original soon for those of you who haven’t picked it up. Shame on you if you haven’t. Really, its been out for a few years now (4!).
