Apparently, these folks sell indy game bundles and you set the price you’re willing to pay…for charity.

New Mass Effect 3 Trailer Hotness.  Including Live Action And BOOBS!  (Ok, No Boobs…That Was A Lie)

At the 2011 VGA’s, BioWare released a new trailer for Mass Effect 3. In the recent past, they’ve released some other trailers, as well and let me tell you. They’re hot!

Yeah, that chick.

Deadmau5 Lost The Only PlayStation Vita Outside Sony [UPDATE: Deadmau5 Didn’t Lose It, Still A Jerk]

 

So naturally, when you’re a megastar electronic producer who’s into gaming (well, Minecraft anyway), chances are you’re going to get some pre-release hardware. So imagine you have that hardware, namely a PlayStation Vita, which isn’t out anywhere in the world, and then you lose it in a cab ride after one of the worst award shows ever.

No, Shigeru Miyamoto Is Not Retiring From Nintendo

Guys. Shigeru Miyamoto is nearly sixty years old. He’s spent more than half of his life at Nintendo, working from a lowly game designer to eventually become the creative director of the company. He’s the poster boy of the Mario-helmed company (well, boy being a loose term) and has ultimately steered its destiny, turned Nintendo into a household name. He’s not going away. He’s not retiring.

Star Wars : The Old Republic – No “Grace Period” For Pre-Orders.  Mass Crying Ensues

Today, Stephen Reid – Community Manager for EA / Bioware – linked a FAQ via twitter which announced that there will be no grace period for people who pre-ordered Star Wars : The Old Republic. That is to say – If you pre-ordered and got in to the early play program but haven’t received your hard-copy and entered your registration code by launch, you will be unable to play the game until such time as you do.

And the internet exploded.
