According to our good friends over at mmocrunch.com, Blizzard may be working on the third installment of Diablo, thats right, Diablo 3 is around the corner.

In the latest edition of PC Gamer magazine, there seems to be couple of hints towards Diablo 3;

?NEXT MONTH
Have you ever had a secret that you?re just dying to blurt out, but you can?t for another month, and the stress of holding it in makes you want to do the pee-pee dance? That?s what the PC Gamer staff is doing right now, because the August issue will be chock-full of exclusives, including a top-secret cover story so huge we had to go to [CENSORED] to get it. Just 30 days more ??

For more of this story, head on over to mmocrunch.

Whenever I play Halo I meet so many different people who act and behave differently. Some characters and skill are to be admired whilst some people should just stop playing halo and not necessarily because they suck at the game but they are just simply annoying to play with. Find below a top 7 list of people that annoy the hell out of me…. and probably you too.

7.) The noobs who say “WOW” whenever they die.

I get sick and tired of stupid noobs who always say WOW whenever they die just because they can not ever get a fucking kill. Its hard enough playing with 3 other noobs in team slayer which suck…..

6.) Getting Called a “Foreigner”

I know I am from England and have an English accent which differentiates from that of the states but for fucks sake how does that make me a “foreigner”???? Since when did the internet belong to Americans or since when did the US have xbox live all for themselves!!!

5.) The Loud Little Kids

Im quite frankly tired of 13 year old kids who scream their heads off everytime someone kills them blaming bungie for their demise. REALITY CHECK: A sniper bullet through your head means DEATH no matter HOW FAR the sniper. No need blaming the good folks over bungie for your no0b skillz.

4.) The “De-Rankers”

To be honest I have not met many of these cunts whilst playing halo 3 but they are there and when you do get them in your game type they can seriously hamper your chances of winning. I play Team slayer all the time to level UP not level DOWN. To get rid of these cunts I strongly suggest leaving a negative player review such as “avoid player” (lacking skill). To get rid of them in the team if they are non stop committing suicide, you simply stay close to them and let them betray you. When the message comes up (usually after 2 betrayals), you simply boot the bitch.

3.) The “Melee” Update HaterzzZ (blaming bungie…again)

Before in Halo 3 we had the people always owning the others with a melee attack simply because they had a better internet connection. Now, since the update, bungie has fixed this so that the person with least amount of health dies. However, some people cant just understand this concept at all when they both die during a simultaneous melee attack. Ok so the system aint perfect but stop blaming bungie you level 3 sergeant no0bs.

2.) The “Parasite”

The Parasite. Before I complain let me explain what a parasite is:

a follower who hangs around a host (without benefit to the
host) in hope of gain or advantage

.

So it does NOT benefit you. In halo 3, the equivalent is a no0b that has a negative KD (kill to death ratio) i.e. -13 but you still win because you and your other team mates are owning. Essentially it caused you no harm hence it parasiting off you.

The halo 3 ranking system recognises such parasites and does not award them as many points or whatever metric system used to rank up. You must have a good game in order to level up quickly, by good I mean a positive Kill to Death ratio.

1.) The “Leech”

There is nothing worse than a “LEECH“. These dickheads are the type who single handedly make you loose a game with their KD (Kill to Death Ratio) being negative. Imagine getting +10 in a game and you are owning but you loose 45-50 because some stupid no0b has -13????????

Definition of “Leech”:

“Leeches attach themselves to their hosts sucking blood and remain there until they become full, at which point they fall off”

Leeches suck blood in real life causing you harm until they get full and stop sucking blood. In halo 3 they DIE non stop all the way until the game ends after which you have lost. I would rather quit than stay and play with a Leech.

Thats the list folks, I hope you like it!

Note: This list is made for fun but if you seriously fall into anyone of these points, then you are seriously close to becoming a “no0b”.

Just incase you missed the first game I would like to tell you what the game is all about. Gears of War is a tactical third-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It was released for the Xbox 360 as an exclusive title on November 7, 2006.

“At a crossroads on the war-torn planet of Sera, you have a decision to make. Both paths are equally dangerous, with the Locust horde armed with explosive arrows and revving chainsaws, ready to tear you to pieces, either way. No, this debate is between you and your co-op partner as you argue over who will pick up that next COG tag, secret pickups that act as currency for heralded Achievements.” - IGN

Find the Trailer for Gears of War 2 below:

Looks I will have to reserve another ?50 ($100) for this sweet game….it does not beat Halo 3 though of course. :mrgree:

Nintendo-Scene.com is reporting of an interesting presentation that took place at the 24th

Annual Chaos Communication Congress (24C3) right now; it would appear that a fully hacked Wii capable of running native homebrew with full hardware access has been presented.

The guys over at 24C3 just demoed a Wii hack that is set to provide native Wii
homebrew in the near future (not running in GC mode, and with full access to all the Wii hardware!)

They were able to find encryption and decryption keys by doing full memory
dumps at runtime over a custom serial interface. Using these keys, they were
able to create a Wii ?game? that ran their own code (their demo happened to show live sensor/Wiimote information, amongst a few other things).

Heres a Video of it all in Progress.

Sony today is celebrating the PlayStation 3s’ first anniversary. The console has certainly had its fair share of difficulties thanks to high price points and a lack of “killer apps.” Following the launch of the $399 model, business is already on the up and up, according to Sony Chairman Howard Stringer.

According to Sony, the PS3 has now sold 5.6 million units worldwide, 2 million of which have been purchased in North America. The company’s worldwide sales goal for next March remains 11 million units. Sony also noted that year to date sales of PS3 in Japan and EMEA outsold Xbox 360 by three-to-one.

Sony’s little baby turns one. The PS3 has been crawling along, but can it walk or maybe even run? Sony is still aiming for 11 million units sold this fiscal year with 160 new games which looks near impossible in my opinion but then again with so many PS3 fanboys running about…

This is the Playstation 3 unit that was returned by the highly incompetant Sony customer service team.

After consultation with legal counsel, SCEA has determined that the photographs of your console as returned to our service center are neither confidential nor private. Consequently, we may lawfully release these photographs to you.

I think the whole situation is rather stupid and that sony is using this as a cheap excuse to save money. Now, where are all those PS3 fanboys who used to laugh at the 3 red rings of death for our beloved Xbox 360?
