A lot of you gamers out there will be doing this – trying to teach gram-gram and pep-pep how to use your video games when they come over for Thanksgiving. It’s the only way you’ll get to play games over Thanksgiving week because your parents want you to spend “family time” with them. Yeah. I’d rather be locked up in a wet rat infested cellar than spend time with my grandma, but don’t tell my mom that.
It’s our weekly musing into the busy lives of our very loyal Loot Ninja readers. For most of us out there it’s the end of another shitty work week. For gamers our week is just getting started (glorious weekend gaming time). We want you all to sound off on all of the great games you are playing at the moment.
I’m leaving today to go on vacation to visit my family. The place I’m headed to is up in bum-fuck, KKK-infested northern Arkansas. I love the Natural State to death, but man, it really knows what to hang it’s hat on. You know how I know the KKK are there in droves? They actually donated and have a roadside sign saying that the next mile’s trash and debri is picked up by loyal KKK members. Yeah. Good fucking times. Anyway, I’ll be away from computers, internet, and anything electronic for the entire week. I am sneaking my DSi up there with a few games to play, but other than that I’ll be miles away from video games (and civilization).
What about you guys? Are you going to be able to play video games over your Thanksgiving week? Off work and can catch up on some gaming? Be sure to let me know what you’re gaming on in the comments below.

From what I hear from those teenagers on Teen Mom and the 16 and Pregnant TV shows, being a dad is hard. First off, I don’t have any kids. The sound of changing shitty diapers, feeding a baby with Cambodian breast milk (thank you Dave Chappelle) and just not getting enough sleep throughout the night, the whole “dad thing” probably isn’t for me. Well a new game called Octodad is here to put a spin on the whole “dad thing”.
Imagine for a moment that you don’t have any thumbs, and the bottom of your hands are suction cups. Try holding a bottle or not getting crusty shit in those suction cups. Yeah. Fuck that. Oh, and every time you get scared you shit black ink everywhere.

P.S. – I love the theme song. I want to add it as my ringtone.
Microsoft has set the bar pretty high for the remainder of the holiday season. They boldly came out and stated that Kinect would sell a whopping 5 million units. 5 mil? Really? Well, to help fuel their fire, they later sent out a press release 10 days after the Kinect launch saying it’s been confirmed that the controller free gaming camera has already sold 1 million units. They are officially 1/5th of the way there.
Compared to it’s Sony counterpart Playstation Move – which sold 1.5 million units in it’s first few weeks on the market – the bold statement from Microsoft about it’s expectations could actually come true this year. Shocking. Simply shocking. The finalized numbers for Playstation Move haven’t been released yet, so we’ll keep you guys posted on the motion controller race to Christmas.
I have a feeling though that Kinect will suffer from the “rush and trickle” effect. Kinect will do great right out of the gate, but like the Wii, the sales numbers will be mammoth at launch but will drop, and drop, and drop some more. Where is that dropping off point? We don’t know. But it’s safe to say I don’t see the Kinect sprinting across the 5 million mark finish line, but limping and crawling it’s way on the back of families everywhere.
Everyone who wants a Kinect can go get one. The only thing going for it is the fact that it isn’t limited on the shelves like the Wii was. But 5 million? Come on Microsoft. Let’s be realistic.
I went into the Shaun White Skateboarding review with an open mind. Matt and I saw the game at the Ubisoft Press Conference at E3 2010 this year, so I went into the game knowing the audience which it’s probably going for: the teenage boy or girl who hasn’t ever bought a skateboarding game before, but loves Shaun White and his style.
Can you think of anyone you know in that audience? If so, they’ll probably love Shaun White Skateboarding. If not, and their further along in their skateboarding game timeline, they’re probably better off buying Skate 3 or a previous Tony Hawk game (definitely not Tony Hawk: Ride). What I found surprising about Shaun White Skateboarding was that I could open my mind up even more open-er, or something. Read on.

Oh man. This was one of the greatest co-op arcade games of all time! ALL TIME I SAID! Well, besides the Ninja Turtles and Simpsons arcade game.

While everyone under the goddamn sun is playing Black Ops, I’m continuing my trek through the Halo: Reach single-player campaign – both alone and co-op. It’s a fun ride with no complaints here. Excellent gameplay and shooting mechanics, sort of mindless story (at least for me since I’m not UBER into the Halo stories), and great open driving sequences.
I’m probably not going to be buying Black Ops only for the simple fact that it’s Modern Warfare 2.5 (at least from all of the reviews). I just don’t play military shooters (competitively) like I used to. I played Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and MW2 and the highest rank I reached was 23 on either of them? Yeah, it’s disheartening to see guys with like 10th prestige and shit. No thanks. While I’m sure it’s a fun game, I’ll be looking to spend my money elsewhere to get more out of my games – and actually go back and beat the Modern Warfare 2′s single-player which I have never done.

If you want Rock Band DLC that’s released after October 26, 2010, you’re going to need to buy Rock Band 3. The music in the Rock Band Store going forward is specific to Rock Band 3 and won’t be compatible with any of the previous Rock Band versions. This will apply to any and all future Rock Band DLC, whether it’s labeled “Rock Band 3 version” or not. All songs that are released before that October cut-off date will remain available to Rock Band and Rock Band 2. Even the Rock Band Network tracks will be compatible with all previous versions going forward.
Awesome. Now my DLC catalogue will have to be filled with shitty garage band tracks because I can’t buy any good music anymore….

What would it be like to look down at your drivers license and have it say Super Mario Bros. street? Better yet, what would it be like to drive your car down Super Mario Bros. street? Well, it’s actually called Avinida de Super Mario Bros, but you get the idea. Turns out, there actually IS a street called this. Leave it to the Spaniards.

So many things wrong with this picture. Things to note: one slightly retarded fat dude, yellow goggles, sweaty stomach and what looks to be a nerf gun under his arm? In prison block B? Hell yeah that sounds like a good time.

It finally hit. The Borderlands 1.41 Title Update was pushed out to the Xbox 360 and I was thrust into my first game with a couple of friends who have level 62 Soldiers last night. Needless to say there was a lot of reviving going on of my level 35 Hunter. I did gain three experience points (or levels) in the matter of an hour though, so all that time on my knees was spent well afterall (please no blowjob jokes). Be sure to jump in with your level 60-whatevers and get back into Borderlands. The update corrects some balancing issues and makes the game tons harder to give maxed out characters a challenge again. It will definitely keep you busy on Pandora before Borderlands 2 is announced.
