That’s right folks, our recent lull in posts was actually the result of us preparing a BRAND NEW experience which we’d like to debut today. From now on, we’ll be posting at our new-car-smelling site, theeasymode.com. We’re going to keep threevue.com as it is, and it’ll be a nice place to revisit for some future chuckles.
Thank you, and good night!
“…we won’t have another podcast for you until next week. But look at it this way – next week’s podcast will be the best podcast you’ve heard from us all year.”
And as if by magic, those words come back to bite us in the ass. That’s right folks, due to some minor technical problems and some travel-based scheduling conflicts, this week’s cast has been delayed.
We do plan on recording one soon, though we’re making no promises. However, if you’re desperately looking for a constructive way to fill your time, then why not do think of the most knee-jerk, derivative, poorly thought-out comment you can, then add it to our Modern Warfare 2 sucks post. *wink*
Destructoid has posted an unsourced rumor that the next Treyarch-produced Call of Duty game, most definitely coming out near the end of this year, will be set in Vietnam.
The first thing that came to my mind is the fact that I was mildly offended by the nearly-categorically-racist portrayal of Japanese soldiers in Treyarch’s last game, Call of Duty: World at War. So now we’re going to see a racist portrayal of Vietnamese, eh?
Actually, if they get the foliage right it might be a pretty good game. It’s an inevitability that another Call of Duty game will be arriving this year, so the least they could do is change it up a bit with a new era. Although Call of Duty: The American Revolution sounds waaaay better.
Well, it’s now officially past midnight in the UK, so I would just like to wish you all a merry Christmas, and tell you that I hope you all have a great time.
As well as this I would like to bestow upon you the gift that keeps on giving; that’s right folks, it can only be a link to free Lego games I came across whilst hanging out with my (four year-old) nephew today. Have at it guys; I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Well people, after a bit of a saga, my PS3 arrived today thanks to Amazon.co.uk. You see, initially I bought one from Play.com, though despite the fact I’ve been ordering from them for years with the same card, they suddenly decided that they had a problem with my card details. Rather than sort it out, I cancelled the order, and bought one from Amazon instead.
It’s probably just as well that I did too; for an extra £8 I got an HDMI cable (which I completely forgot about when I ordered from Play) and next-day delivery – although technically it turned out to be 48hr delivery on account of all the snow we’ve had. Not that I mind though; at least it arrived in time for Christmas.
Although I haven’t had a great deal of time with it yet, I have had enough time to set up the system, create a Playstation Store account and PSN ID (if anyone wants to hit me up, my PSN ID is blacktail9mm), play around with some of the systems features, download some demos and PSN games (can you say PixelJunk Shooter?) and get some game time in on Uncharted 2.
To hear my thoughts on the system so far, click the link below:

That’s just perfect. It would figure that the day after I finally unlock the damned thing, IW puts out a patch to, among other less important things, balance (a.k.a pussify) the Model 1887. After completely dominating a certain team deathmatch with these beauties akimbo style last night, I even got a message from the last I guy I killed telling me that I was cheap for using them because they are too overpowered. I love things like that! Now, no more.
At least I got one good night with them.
For a while now I’ve been asking myself one simple question: when is the best time to buy a PS3?
For anyone in doubt about this, the answer you are looking for is (clearly) five days before Christmas; I mean, obviously the time to spend money you don’t have is right before Christmas, am I right?
Anyway, I’ve just done exactly that, and ordered a 250Gb PS3 slim with Uncharted 2 from play.com for a measly £270. However, the question I’m now left with is, will it arrive before Christmas? Check the poll below and let me know what you think.
PLACE YOUR BETS…
NOW!!!
I just played the demo for Dante’s Inferno and WHOA! That’s all I’m going to say. I thought I couldn’t be more stunned until I read this memo I found while hacking the Gibson of EA’s main servers with a firewall script I got off Acid Burn.
This actually explains a lot:
DREAMY.
Believe it or not dear friends, Final Fantasy VIII was the first FF game I ever played. I didn’t play video games from 1995 to 2001, and when I finally did pick up a PSOne, I bought this game because it had the best graphics on the back cover. Remember when we made purchases based on shit like that? All in all, I liked the game pretty well, and I think I’ll get it when it comes out on the PSN “soon“, as long as it’s $10 or less.

Spoilers – of the two endings to SWTFU (That acronym always makes me think: ShWut The Fuck Up) you either
A) Turn on the Emperor who then pimp-slaps you in to being a half man / half machine servant (Vader Light, I call it).
OR
B) You die defending your friends so that they may go on to form the beginnings of the Rebel Alliance.
The thing is – In option A, you kill Vader. Sooo, if there’s a sequel, that means there’s no Vader in the Star Wars Universe… But in option B… you’re dead.
Am I missing something here?
And don’t tell me they could just Bacta him from the brink of death OR that they cloned him on Byss like they did Palpatine in Dark Empire. I’m not 12 anymore and this shit doesn’t cut it!
PS – Oooh, look. It’s not just a Rancor…. it’s a BIGGER rancor-like thing! Original!… /sarcasm
PPS – OF COURSE I’LL PLAY IT
Dear fellow Threevuians,
This post is my way of appologising to you all. What am I appologising for, you say? Well, this is my way of saying sorry for being so neglectful recently. The fact is, I’ve just been a little busy, and it’s been mainly with work. *sigh* As a result of this, I decided to give you guys a bit of an early Christmas present to try and make up for it.
However, before you check it out, you need to be sure that you are ready for the awesomeness contained after the break - once your brain has assimilated this awesomeness there can be no turning back; once it has been seen, it can never be un-seen! If you think you’re ready, then hit the jump. Don’t say I didn’t warn you though…

I honestly didn’t think it could get any better than the Left 4 Dead/Team Fortress mobiles made by the one and only SaltyandSweet over on Etsy. Apparently the lady at the laundro-mat was right because I’m a moron.
The two latest mobiles are gorgeous representations of Shadow of the Colossus and Bioshock. Both runs, along with the rest of her awesome catalog are available on her site. Maybe you thought the L4D mobiles were a little too… pants shitting… to hang over your baby’s crib. If that’s the case then you should totally pick up on of the SoC ones, because rockets and farm animals are sooo last year.
Destructoid just released a very tongue-in-cheek “top games of the decade” list, which is anything if chuckle-inducing. Although I’m a little disappointed that Rapala Fishing Frenzy 2009 didn’t make the cut, but whatevs.
It’s good to see that some people don’t take their lists so seriously. We here at threevue almost killed each other over our most recent list.

A few days ago, EA announced that they’re bringing Mirror’s Edge to the iPhone. At first, I was hoping they were bringing the flash game over, which would have been pretty awesome. Turns out we get the snore-fest pictured above. I could have sworn that the iPhone already had enough dumbed-down versions of decent games. Oh well, what’s one more, right?
For a long time now the Medal of Honor franchise deserved a medal of honour honor in mediocrity. So what do you do when things get old and tired? Reboot it. It’s the current craze, along with beards, kiffeyehs, Oakleys and wearing your cap on backwards – at the same time!. No, it’s not 2006 2005 2004. It’s Afghanistan, bitch! (If it were 2004, he would be wearing a commemorative rubber bracelet) The game will follow the very special Tier One Operator class soldiers of US Special Ops (I really don’t think I should be the one writing this) and aims to provide the “best-in-class single-player campaign”. The new EALA studio is taking helm, but DICE is doing multiplayer. A lot is up in the air, but I’ll remain optimistic. If the tone of the box art is anything to go by, a more serious and sophisticated approach to the genre could be on the works. Or it could be another Medal of Honor. I guess we’ll find out more with a full trailer premiering on Spike TV’s 2009 Video Game Awards on Saturday, December 12 at 8:00PM PST.
