Posted story about Bioware employee posting 10/10 on metacritic fo his game.

Seems like a petty story, I mean, who wouldn't give their own game a 10/10, but there may be more to it.

=-=-=-

Looks like I won't be importing Mortal Kombat:

"Australian Customs and Border Protection Service adds refused classification fighter to blacklist; copies detected to be confiscated, fines up to A$110,000 issued."

WTF man, you should have asked IGA to smuggle a few copies for you guys.  Or would he have been arrested at gunpoint at the airport?

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu

Yeah that sounds reasonable. Isn't there as much blood in that rugby game I hear Australians are so fond of?

I had some time after work so I went over to Niagara Falls, its really nice, none of the attractions were open though. I was so close to Canada I could almost touch it. The US side was kind of boring, you look across and you see an awesome skiyline, those cool tower things, casinos everywhere, a ferris wheel, Canada looked like a lot of fun.

You have a standard US accent.  The only thing funny about the way you speak is that you mispronounce console as "council".  Not as bad as Foolz pronouncing SEGA as SEA-GA.

It is interesting.   It's not as easy as it looks jumping from DL to Retail.  I wonder how Geometry Wars did at retail, I noticed it dropped in price pretty heavily when it came out.

Confusing it with another title? De Blob was retail for Wii and De Blob 2 is retail for all platforms.

The Pac-Man plush I got from GameStop's reward program arrived today.  It is disappointing to say the least.  It looks like Pac-Man's cousin with down-syndrome.

Actually to be fair, let me take you back to the early 80's.  From around 1982 to 1985 if you went to an amusement park, carnival, or fair they would very often have these cheap knock-off stuffed Pac-Man toys that would be given as prizes on the midway. Remember those? That's what this looks like. The only difference is, this is officially licensed crap from Namco/Bandai. Man.... pathetic.
