Ghost Recon Future Soldier Has 20 Million Gun Configs

Posted on Mar 13, 2012 10:00:01 AM

The man in this video had ten different customised weapons waiting for him at any time, so remember that if you choose to mock his overly-dramatic presentation of Ghost Recon Future Soldier’s Gunsmith capabilities in the comments: he probably has a ‘snotty internet jerk’ config that’ll make the Windows key on your keyboard garotte you.

Minecraft Mod Super Pirate Battle Royale Reshapes Ships

Posted on Mar 9, 2012 05:58:42 PM

I really tried to write like a pirate for the opening of this post, but I started sounding like Snoop Dogg. I’d start with “yarrs” but end up adding “-izzle” to the end of words. It got surreal.

Sniper Elite V2 Trailer

Posted on Mar 2, 2012 11:02:39 AM

Sniper Elite V2 is a third person tactical WWII shooter and the sequel to 2005′s Sniper Elite. It’s been called “distasteful”, “disgusting” and “bad taste”, and, from another point of view, potentially “one of the most satisfying moments in gaming history!” But for its creators it’s “chilling” and asks “difficult questions” of the player.
