Gamefly Allows Offline Rentals; Dooms Students

March 5, 2009 by myka

The Daily Toreador reports that Gamefly has installed their first Game Rental Kiosk (think of those DVD rental machines you see in supermarkets all over) on Texas Tech's campus.

According to the story "It will cost $1.99 for Wii games and $2.49 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 games, Spector said. The G-Box also will offer a rent-to-buy option." and "The G-Box will come stocked with games for several platforms, including Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii".

Well students at Texas Tech, you can kiss your futures good-bye. As if the temptations on a college campus weren't bad enough with booze, sex, parties, and pranks, now you can add instant gratification gaming to that list.

Who needs to do homework when you can pickup a new game instead? Then again, this could be educational. Why read a long boring book on the history of bikers, when you have Grand Theft Auto IV and a quick download of The Lost and Damned so readily available!

Recheck your credit card balance -- if you're close to the limit, now is the time to settle up. There are lots of ways to manage debt like shaking trees and selling the apples that fall out. If you didn't understand this piece of advice, it's because you don't play Animal Crossing, and therefore, are not a complete idiot. Congratulations.

We've all been in that situation we hate. In the 9th hour of a Smash Brothers Brawl, or Halo 3 session when Mr. hunger comes knocking on our stomach lining like an angry husband returning from a deadly salmon run to find you sleeping with his wife.

Top 7 Iron Mans

May 27, 2008 by myka

No, we didn’t make a mistake. The title is, in fact, “Top 7 Iron Mans,” not “Iron Men.” We’re counting down the 7 people that have best honored the iron name with great accomplishments and general bad-assery. Some of these may shock you, but rest assured, they are rated by the highest authorities on the subject matter (or any subject matter, as far as we’re concerned): hardcore gamers.
