I kid, I kid, Cliff won’t sell me weed. Bummer. Yeah, The New Yorker have profiled Epicboy himself as “a boyish Dolce & Gabbana model or a small-town weed dealer” because “His current haircut is short and cowlicked, his bangs twirled up into a tiny moussed horn. He was wearing what in my high school would have been called ‘exchange-student jeans’-obviously expensive but slightly the wrong color and of a somehow non-American cut.”
You can catch the whole story around aboouuuuutt…. here
Oh, he doesn’t actually sell weed. As far as i know. 
News, PS3 - by Mitch - October 28, 2008 - 01:42 UTC - 1 Comment
Anyone else looking forward to this game? I’m not a P$£, sorry, PS3 enthusiast. But Pacific Rift does look good, and good news comes for all those who are interested. The Director of Pacific Rift, Nigel Kershaw, has said that the team at Evolution are looking to provide DLC every week, with promises of much more of it to come in the following year.
“Once were all rested its back to the development bunker to finish off the DLC we have lined up for you guys in the coming months,” he said.
“We’ve got a pile of stuff waiting in the wings, and, you’ll be glad to know, a lot of it is free. We’re going to try and give you something new to play with every week, and we’ve also got some major packs in development that should be on the store after Christmas.”
Question: How much is ‘a lot’ in reference to “a lot of it is free”? Haha, F*ck knows!
What are you thinking? hit us up in the forums, we’ll love it. Hard.

Rockstar have announced that their up and coming DS title Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will include a drug-dealing mini game. Players will be reportedly be able to distribute such fancies as Heroin, LSD and Cocaine.
Darren Gold of charity Drugsline said to the Daily Telegraph that “anything using drug-dealing as entertainment is sending out the wrong message”.
In response, Rockstar vice president Dan Houser told Edge magazine that “we wanted to have a drug-dealing mini-game in lots of the GTA games”.
Also that “We played with it a little in Vice City Stories because it worked really well juxtaposed with the main story.
“It works well with what GTA is, with driving around the map, and it gives you another thing to think about – another layer or piece of the puzzle to keep you motivated.”

Looks like we’ve all got a lot of saving to do this season, what with the release of Gears 2, Mirror’s Edge, Left 4 Dead and Resistance, but why not add this to the list: the brand new UBER-edition of Dead Space is going to hit the shelves at the bargain (haha) price of $149!!
Yep, buy it and you’ll be the lucky, yet midly unstable owner of a copy of Dead Space, special packaging, bonus content, the animated “Downfall” DVD, lithograph artwork, a 97 page art book, a 160 page graphic novel and an actual Ishimura crew patch.
EA must have HUGE expectations from this game, but is it worth it? Personally I think not, because I value my money. But by all means, go out and buy one game instead of four

Yes, you too can own the Covenant Energy Sword! Not a Halo fan? Erm… Your loss
You can buy this apparently unlicensed Halo3 Covenant Energy Sword from as little as $49.99, that’s only £25-£30!!
The sword features Titanium color finish on stainless steel blades. True Swords, the seller of this little miracle, says:
This special treatment, sometimes called “spectrum treatment”, causes the colors to shift at different angles and lighting. This effect is similar to the blade effect seen in the video game series. The blades will appear to be different colors depending on the amount of light and reflected colors they are around.
Weighing in at 27 inches long, its nearly as long as the average leg. Just don’t run with it.
If your interested in buying one, you can pick it up here.

The recent cut in the price of the Xbox 360 has worked wonders in Europe so it seems.
Microsoft just announced that the 6 million install base figure for Europe has been breached, it seems that the slash has had expected reactions and sales are up a plenty.
Chris Lewis of Microsoft Business, Europe, has said that the 360 is now the cheapest next-gen console in the European market and he intends on sales revenue to be used for “investment into a European advertising campaign” that launches this week.
Clever little so and so’s.
