Wiining streak

Apparently, the Nintendo Wii outsold both its competitors, the Sony Playstation 3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360, based on statistics from the NPD group announced in March this year. Please note, the “spelling mistake” in the title is deliberate.

This was totally unexpected by gamers, considering that the previous generation Nintendo consoles did badly compared to its competitors. Even the fact that it was released after the Xbox 360 who already had a few million owners the time the Wii came out did not make it fall behind. Instead, it had gone on a Wiining streak (Pun intended, for that matter) and emerged the Winner.

However, all hope is still not lost for both Sony and Microsoft. It is still early and some gamers are still hesistant in purchasing a Next-gen console. Thus, I think Wii’s winning streak will soon end, considering it doesn’t have a Gears of War, Grand Theft Auto IV, Halo 3 or Final Fantasy XIII to support it. Perhaps next year those games stated will push the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 to greater heights.

Grand Theft Auto VI?!

GTAVI

We haven’t even got our hands on Grand Theft Auto IV, yet, a game magazine, PLAY, claims that they have news on Grand Theft Auto VI! (See picture above)

However, it really seems that the people at PLAY made a mistake by switching the two letters “I” and “V” over. Nevertheless, it’s still a big enough mistake for us to laugh it off.

I was thinking; didn’t Rockstar Games take any action? Maybe this might be a ploy to trick Jack Thompson into fighting against Rockstar Games about a non-existent game Grand Theft Auto VI? Let’s just see what happens next…

Dig this!! - Literally…

Grand Theft Auto, in a Bank commercial?! Wait… Don’t get shocked… Here’s the Video we have provided for you, just right below…

After watching this video, kindly rate the commercial on a scale from one to ten in your comments!!! So, without anymore spoilers from me, you can sit back and watch the commercial below…

So…, finished watching? Could you dig that? It was really surprising to me that HSBC used Rockstar Games’ prized creation as their inspiration for their commercial. What about you? Comment!!

Version 2.4 - No? YES!!! - It’s here!!

You might ask: VERSION 2.4? No, you’re kdding right?

No, I’m not kdding. In fact it’s true. The Version 2.4 of -=}{oT~dEv1L 666=- has finally dawned upon us - on the day you’re least likely to notice because it’s most probably Sunday in most parts of the World.

Now, what’s included in 2.4? Here’s a breakdown of the juice:
1. Added a Shoutbox.
2. Added a Gallery (Music, Video and Image Gallery!)
3. Added “Now Listening” and “Now Playing”, IV Coundown and Random Gallery Picture to the Sidebar.
4. Added a Poll and Survey system.
5. Added a “Downloads” corner, together with a Downloads system plus a full-fledged counter.
6. Added a Contact form.
7. Recent posts displayed at the left Sidebar.

Forget about the Version Update History, it’s useless. Anyway, were you expecting more updates? Sorry for the dissapointment. There’ll be more juice to come when Version 2.5 dawns upon us!! Stay tuned!

Grand Theft Aero IV?

Just recently, the May issue of GameInformer was released? Guess what? There’ll not be any planes or jetpacks in Grand Theft Auto IV!! Is that a Grand Theft Aero Rockstar Games just pulled off again? Just like what they did a few years ago with Grand Theft Auto 3 and Liberty City Stories?
Actually, no. Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto 3 did actually had a plane; the Dodo. And Liberty City Stories had some Helicopters too, thanks to Edison Carter. But is the Theft of the Aeros from Grand Theft Auto IV really too Grand? Anyway, it’s just my opinion.

Manhunt 2 - May-be?

I was just wondering, Manhunt 2 for the PSP is about to be released on “Summer 2007″. Could that mean May? Now, all that we’ve seen is a trailer and some bits of information on the Gameplay and Story. Now, just what does that “Summer 2007″ mean? Anyway, it could be June too. But I’m waiting anxiously for it, maybe not as anxiously as waiting for Grand Theft Auto IV. May’s just a month away. Actually, 2 weeks away. So, could “Summer 2007″ be May? Let’s hope so.

Happy Easter!

Soon, it would be Easter. In some parts of the world, it already is Easter Sunday today. Although I’m not a Catholic, here’s my greetings to everyone of you out there, Catholic or not.

Well, I wouldn’t really give a damn if you are Catholic or not, Grand Theft Auto fan or not. All I would really care about is whether you have really taken time out to read this blog.

Soon, there’ll be some more juicy stuff coming up right here. So, if you don’t want to miss out on the action, just try to get more of your asses over here. Sorry for being offensive, it’s meant to be funny ;)

Also, for people who already know about this blog, which are you guys,  please help spread the word!

Thank you in advance!

Even more tidbits!!! - Version 2.3

As you might have realized, the Site has undergone a minor but noticeable change. There’s the “}{* Logo” at then top, beside the blog title. And there’s the Grand Theft Auto IV countdown at the bottom of the blog. Also, the picture gallery has now been updated - with GTAIV screen shots!!! The sidebars have also both been tweaked. As you have noticed, things are going slow in here and there is not any updates made to the blog recently, other than version updates, because I’m currently focusing on the site itself, rather than the updates or postings.

Blog Version History (v.2.0 and above):
v.2.3: Gallery Updated, Footer modified, Sidebars tweaked, Logo added to Header.
v.2.2: “Hits” counter relocated to Footer and only counts Unique Visitors, Contact Form added.
v.2.1: “Interesting Stuff” area added to the Right Sidebar.
v.2.0: Switched to a WordPress Weblog.

Joke Time, anybody?

Well, I’m kinda bored, so, if you liked the joke I posted 3 days ago, you’ll like this joke. It’s about, well, Bill Gates, the founder of Micsoft; sorry, I meant Microsoft :

A pilot, Michael Jordon, Bill Gates, the Pope, and a pizza delivery man were all in a plane together traveling through stormy conditions.

Suddenly, the pilot came running back to the passengers and announced that lightning had hit the plane, and they were going to crash in a matter of minutes. “There are only enough parachutes for four of the five of us,” he announced. “Since I’m the pilot, I get one!” After saying this, the pilot grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane.

“I’m the world’s greatest athlete,” proclaimed Michael Jordon. “This world needs great athletes, so I must live.” Michael Jordon then grabbed a parachute and leaped out of the plane.

“I’m the smarest man in the world,” bragged Bill Gates. “The world needs smart men, so I must also live!” Bill Gates grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane.

At this point, the Pope began to speak. “I have lived a long life compared to you, and you may take the last parachute. I will go down with the plane.”

“You don’t have to stay here! The world’s smartest man jumped out of the plane with my backpack.”

Well, it got me thinking… I mean, No doubt Bill Gates is one of the richest man in the world, but is he really the smartest man in the world? Think about it and give this post a nice lil’ comment.
