Get Tactical Part 2.. and a little something extra..

Well well well, here we are a little bit over a week to go before you can all get tactical with the Capsule Computers team on MW2.

Just to remind you all – here is the link again – GET TACTICAL

So here is a little story. @MiniDuraRoc, who I might mention is a bit of a football star, was bugging me to get Ultimate Team for FIFA10. So I was still sleeping and he said, Dad.. can we get it now, it’s 1200 points… I said.. narr just wait, I will get some points from Gamecard for a bit cheaper, and then use that.
So I buy 1500 MS points that day, and wait for him to come home to get it. So then I find it’s only 400 points.. and I already had 471 in my account..so I just used that.

The moral to the story is this. I now have a 1500 MS Points code (AU/NZ) in my email, which I was thinking, hey, I reckon I might give this away on the get tactical night to the person who doesn’t piss me off the most! HAHAHA.. oops sorry.. The person who I think played the best and fairest! So there it is boys and girls. Next Friday 12th March 8-11pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time – get tactical with the Capsule Computers team and have a chance to score yourself a 1500 MS Points code!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!

Anyway, did I mention that xI Rock Ix is a bit of a noob tuber? And when he isn’t tubing he is shotgunning and also pistol killing people?

Have fun, hope to catch you all next Friday night. For anyone going to the FFXIII night tomorrow at IMAX, hope to catch you there!

You choose how and when to use your arsenal of power-ups for ultimate impact in a race where the outcome is never certain. Blur’s story unfolds through a unique community-based social network interface that includes 4-player split-screen multiplayer and online multiplayer. Blur is non-stop Powered-up Racing:  An intense, unpredictable fight to the finish.” [SOURCE]

Blur

Blur is a racing game coming out on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on May 25th 2010 (Date subject to change). It is also being called the Mario Kart for when the adults want to play.

With Power ups and really cool looking cars, Blur offers a new experience to the racing fan as well as letting more casual gamers enter the racing genre.

Blur will also feature Twitter support. Yes, Blur will enable you to tweet about every little thing in the game. Just beat an opponent? Tweet it! Just got a really hi score? Tweet it! Just crashed and went from 1st to 8th place? TWEET IT!!

What’s everyone think of Blur ? does it have what it takes to

BioShock 2 posters have hidden messages

HEY! who got the BioShock 2 special addition with those really neat posters? Well guess what! There is more to these really neat posters. With the use of a blacklight the posters reveal secret messages.

Here is a video I got from youtube using a simple search. I do not know who this guy is, but he does a pretty good job at showing off the posters and the secret messages. Some spoilers are present.


What do you guys think of them ?  Pretty cool huh.

Portal Update on steam hints at Portal 2

Steam had an update for the game Portal, which included a rather odd line in the patch notes which said “changed radio transmission frequency to comply with federal and state spectrum management regulations.”

This simple line caused the steam forums to buzz, and it was noted that Radios were added to each level, and secret transmissions could be heard if you carried the radio to certain locations in the level. The Morse code signals hint that Glados could’ve transmitted herself before you killed her, hinting at a Portal 2.

A secret achievement has also been added. Want the secret achievement? All you have to do is carry the radio in each level to the location for the radio signal to start, do that for all 26 levels and the achievement is yours.

So, anyone working on this achievement? Or did everyone just get it on the XBox 360 like me?
