Black Friday: GameStop deals leaked for your pleasure screenshot

Black Friday and all its horror will soon be upon us, and the Internet has gotten its talons on GameStop's list of ludicrous offers. The list is absolutely huge, some great bundles such as a PS3 with God of War: Collection and LittleBigPlanet for $299, and tens of dollars to be saved on all sorts of games.

While we're here, how many of you are planning to venture out and brave the crowds of braying imbeciles next week? Is the lure of cheap stuff you've never needed enough to make you part of the dignity-sucking problem, or are you going to be like me and hide under a pile of coats until it all goes away?

Amazing lawsuits filed against Nintendo and
Microsoft

Amazing lawsuits filed against Nintendo and Microsoft screenshot

Erik Estavillo, the agoraphobic Resistance player who keeps attempting to sue Sony for banning his trolling arse, has now decided to try and get some money from Microsoft and Nintendo as well. His last case against Sony was thrown out of court, but it seems that Estavillo is desperate to leech some cash off at least one game company.

Microsoft is being sued over the Red Ring of Death, which allegedly hit Estavillo's Xbox 360 recently. The greedy whore claims he's disabled and thus can't afford the "well over $100" price required to fix it. He wants $75,000 from Microsoft because the system's breakdown caused him "undue stress" as well as the "sadness he will have in the mean time of finding one he can afford."

The Nintendo suit is even more amazing. NoA is being sued because the latest Wii update disabled his Homebrew Channel. Apparently he was using it to pirate Super Mario Galaxy so that he could unlock a character in Mario Kart Wii. Estavillo wants $5,000 because Nintendo is standing in the way of his "“pursuit of happiness." He also believes Nintendo forces customers to buy games to unlock characters in other games, thus justifying his piracy.

Erik claims to suffer from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia and Crohn’s disease. None of these disorders seem to provide a clue as to why he's such a lazy, parasitic, little piece of sh*t. Still, you have to give him credit. He's a God among trolls.

FarmVille Country Fair Items Introduced!

Now that we can have enough space in our Farmville farm thanks to the FarmVille storage option, we should prepare for the Country Fair, right? Apparently that’s what Zynga thinks since the company just launched a whole bunch of limited edition[...]

Watch some BioShock 2 deathmatch action

post from Destructoid on 20 November 2009 04:40:00 AM. © Destructoid

Want some straight up, no-bullsh*t, BioShock 2 deathmatch footage? We've got you covered. This new video dresses nothing up, it simply gives you a minute of BioShock 2 multiplayer action. This is what it looks like, so feel free to hit that video and check it out.

BioShock 2's multiplayer is looking fairly standard, but it's helped by the simple fact that it's set in Rapture. The decor and the look of the characters goes a long way toward making this look like more than a common garden deathmatch, even if the gameplay itself is not massively unique.

I'm still a little iffy on multiplayer being thrown into BioShock 2, but what the hell? Let's give it a chance and see if it doesn't suck.

Rock Band DLC: Tom Petty, Kelly freakin' Clarkson

Rock Band DLC: Tom Petty, Kelly freakin' Clarkson screenshot

I think what most pleases me about the release of the "family friendly" LEGO Rock Band, it's that it opens up the platform to all kinds of pop nonsense we might not have ordinarily seen. By "nonsense," I mean stuff I have been secretly flooding Harmonix with requests for.

Take Kelly Clarkson for instance -- girl can sing. Next week, "Miss Independent" comes to Rock Band, along with songs from "Sure, I'll put an exclamation point in my name" P!nk and Go-Go's.

Single tracks ($1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii Points per track)
Go-Go's "Our Lips Are Sealed" +
Kelly Clarkson - "Miss Independent" +
P!nk - "Who Knew" +
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Live Anthology Pack 01 ($9.99/800 MS Points for the pack; $1.99/160 MS Points/200 Wii Points per track)
"A Think About You (live)" +
"American Girl (live)"
"Even the Losers (live)"
"Here Comes My Girl (live") +
"Mary Jane's Last Dance (live)"
"Refugee (live)" +
_{(The "+" indicates the tracks is available available on both the Rock Band and the LEGO Rock Band music stores)}

Kelly Clarkson plus six live Tom Petty tracks? Time to stock up on MS Points. (Yes, you can make fun of me in the comments.)
