In Other News – 10 February Weekend Edition

02_1280x960

Well, I hope everyone is ready for a great weekend of gaming. We’ve got two major releases out this week, The Darkness 2 and Kingdoms of Amalur, so there’s bound to be something that will suit your tastes.

Me?  I’m going to kick it old-school, and finish Borderlands with a character that I haven’t used yet, or try and an attempt at playing a game of Gears of War 3 that doesn’t end up with me finishing a match with a lancer rifle stuck up my colon.

But what I’m most looking forward to this weekend, is the chance to see some family…And play with the chocolate labrador puppy that they’re bringing with them.

Because he's the writer that Lazygamer deserves, but not the one it actually needs right now.So we'll hunt him. Because he can't take it. Because he's not a hero. He's a loud-mouthed journalist, a watchful procrastinator. A dork knight.

    Mmmm, Emmy Rossum is so beautiful.  Not very smart about the movies she signs onto, but she’s very very beautiful.

    Fans of Fallout 3 will also be sad to know Adam Adamowicz passed away today. He was one of the concept designers behind the game

        I know, but talk about detailed, I wonder if there are a before and after set of Uncle Owen/Aunt Beru, so you can re-enact the butchering of Luke’s relatives lol.
