So who do you think will win the PL this season? Right now Man Utd are at the top of the league, with Chelsea trailing 1 point behind. Will it be one of the Big Four, or does Man City have a chance? Personally I think either Man Utd or Chelsea will win (hopefully Chelsea). Tottenham are still clinging to 3rd place, but I don't see that lasting through the season. Liverpool looks hopeless this year. Manchester City might be able to compete for the title, but I don't have any faith in Arsenal.

I'm still using every gun out there and trying different attachments on them. I used the M4A1 untill I got Blue Tiger for it and now I hardly use it anymore. I'm starting to like the Intervention with an ACOG scope or my Barret .50 Cal with no attachments. Both have stopping power because without it it would be useless. Head shots are hard to come by for me but a body shot one hit kill? Easy. For my secondary I like the PP2000 for all my classes. I use to hate it but now it seems like the best secondary gun in the game. What do all of you prefer?

Here's some info on the Multiplayer Servers for PC Gamers

This is a review from a Gamer's perspective

But only until the 24th of May (i.e., get it now and own it forevermore, not that it will vanish from your hard drive on the 24th). PORTAL is one of the best games released in the last decade or so, is extremely funny, quite short (about 3 hours or so), quite original and totally barking demented. It's also where that 'Still Alive' song that lots of people like on Rock Band came from. For the price of absolutely nothing, it's quite a steal. Obviously Valve have reasons for doing this: they are publicising the release of Portal 2 this autumn (when it will also be available on PS3 and X-Box 360) and the imminent arrival of their entire back-catalogue on the Mac OS…

Haters take it elsewhere. :P So, American Idol has begun, and though some people only watch the audition weeks, and some people watch it because they love it, I think that this year (minus the drugged up Paula Abdul), and with Ellen Degeneres, is going to be very interesting. Of course we have already started out with the audition rounds, with guest judges Victoria Beckham and Mary J. Blige. I thought Victoria was embracing a little too much "Paula niceties", and Mary was quite blunt and no nonsense. My personal favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am-Y5DVjZIA Am I the only Idol watcher here? This is a safe place. We won't judge you here.…

Sounds like the once-powerful empire is going down the tubes

Basically a more adult version of High School Muscial... and that may have turned more people off than I intended. This show is great. It feels like Election with some bits of singing thrown in. Trailer

The Jack Bauer we all love is back. Two episodes in, he has already gotten into trouble with the local police, as well as the new director of CTU. ;D New season takes place in New York, focusing around the UN. Nice with a change of location, but I am not quite sure what I think about the new CTU. Bit too fancy and hi-tech.

So, apparently while I've had limited internet access for the past months, Egosoft goes ahead and releases a nice hefty patch for my favorite game that is, you know, FREAKING AWESOME for having no INTERNET. ;) To make matters worse(better), they've added the dreaded(awesome) achievements to the for Steam owners, And even if you bought it retail, you can upgrade it to steam to get those nice achievements. Course that meansbeating the entire game OVER again... (only about 3 months /played worth of hours to get to that point.. ) Oh, did I mention they apparently made the game run better?

So, this is basically full of awesome. It outlines every problem I had with The Blind Side. It's also very funny. You should read it. http://www.the-editing-room.com/the-blind-side.html

So, I was just programming my Archaic DVR, and I noticed that House started at the same time as Heroes. Fun Right? I figure, hey, which order am I gunna watch them in? I knew Heroes was a 2 hour premiere. But what about house? Ussually an hour... so I skip ahead an hour... House premieres at 2 hour long episode!

Trailer: http://www.tvrage.com/shows/id-22814 Could be interesting. I might tune in, or at least check it out on Hulu.

I know this game is coming out Jan 26th. I saw the ad for it and it looked pretty sweet. I'm probably going to steal Mass Effect from a friend to play it before I get 2. What are your guyses thought on this game? Let me know if I'm choosing a good game to get back into gaming with.

Anyone else going to be watching/listening? David Lloyd (Bumble from the commentating) seems to think its pretty much anyones to take away, particularly from the top Eight teams. The group stage kicks off Friday but warm up matches are already being played. Who do you fancy? Both in terms of countries but also in a dream XI playing. And anyone bold enough to have a guess at individual match results?

This game is on the awesome side of the grahpic spectrum. They took E3 by storm 3.. 4? Years ago with there awesome physics... It kinda contained a Tornadoe, and a town, and you getting out of its way. And it was entirely fluid and non choppy on a pc from 3 years ago. :P Since then however, it seems Microsoft may have got smart and not put all there exclusive games on both pc and 360. Since this was orginally a PC title, Then got moved to 360 & pc, it is said to be currently Only a 360 game at this time, with PC 'version' as a possibility, but it won't be a simutanious launch.

So, Game Informer just published a list of The most useless peripherals, and I have to say that some are extremely stupid. You can find it here: http://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/05/13/useless-peripherals.aspx

So, PC gamer released its list of top 100 pc games, which is horrible. http://ca.kotaku.com/5538813/the-greatest-pc-games-of-all-time-according-to-2010 (link courtesy to silver) Anyways, I think we can do better. Shall we try and make a real list? One that doesn't involve a lot of stupid teenage console gamers voting on.

Some kinda blackout happened and everyone in the world saw 2 minutes of their life 6 months into the future. There's been a hiatus on the show but it's coming back sometime this month. I really liked it and I'm on the 6th episode of the 10 on hulu. Anyone else seen it?
