Weekend, what are you all playing?
Well the weekend is upon us again and you know what that means. Vidj00 games! What are you playing?
Migoy: I got the Lightning badge in Pokemon White so I'm half way to the league now. Sunday is my Special Day in the Dissidia 012 Duodecim: Final Fantasy calendar so the sound of leveling up after almost every battle is as satisfying as ever.
My Nintendo Wii has gotten some love this weekend. Aside from some TvC (Tatsunoko vs. Capccom: Ultimate All-Stars) action, I replayed Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. I've beaten it before but got the good ending so now I'm working to be completely evil and see how things go. The story is still butt and as expected in an open world Spider-Man game, glitches galore but I found myself playing it through the whole afternoon and later again after having supper.
Quash: I played some split screen Call of Duty: Black Ops with some cousins after coming home from the beach and watched one of them get mutilated in Dead Space 1. I played Marvel vs. Capcom 3, before I left I practiced doing the Dr. Doom M&M loop combo for 3 hours to get it perfect.
Arlie: It's Gran Turismo 5 for me this weekend, finally had the patience to download those buttload of patches. I just purchased my Formula Gran Turismo car off the Online Dealership yesterday for 5,000,000 Credits. I'm currently at Level 25 A-Spec and trying to complete the Extreme Series to get the Grand Finale trophy. Hopefully I could grind up to Level 35 A-spec this weekend to unlock the Red Bull X1 Challenge

I'm broadcasting live right now
We here at TMG want to share our gaming antics with you guys. Currently, none of us has a solid setup yet and we're still trying things out. Hopefully we get a good casting setup soon for your viewing pain / pleasure.
Right now I'm trying it out but if it's laggy, forgive me because I only have 100kbps of upload speed and everything is set on low to try to make up for it. I'd choose a smoother crappy looking live stream over a high quality picture but extremely laggy stream. I'll work to get a faster internet connection but for now just bare with me.
If you are at all interested in seeing the crappy video quality of my stream then head over to my Justin.tv account. If you have a jtv account then jump into chat. I assure you there won't be anyone else in chat but if you message, I'll try to reply as best as I can.

L.A. Noire Update: Selected for Tribeca Film Festival
A small update but an update none the less.
Rockstar just tweeted this;
L.A. Noire Fact: 90% of downtown LA's buildings and signage were recreated for the game, with design and typography faithful to advertising of the period.
And now on to bigger news.
From Elder-Geek;
Another step forward for the industry’s repute among film nerds, Rockstar’s L.A. Noire has become an official selection of the Tribeca Film Festival (a New York-based film meet started by Robert De Niro in 2002). As part of being an official selection of the event, some of the staff of Rockstar will present an interactive screening of one of the game’s many crime cases, followed by a Q&A session, on April 25th in New York.
“We’re thrilled that L.A. Noire is being recognized by the Tribeca Film Festival in this way,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “It’s a real honor, and another step forward for interactive entertainment.”
“What Rockstar and Team Bondi have accomplished with L.A. Noire is nothing less than groundbreaking,” said Geoff Gilmore from the Tribeca Film Festival. “It’s an invention of a new realm of storytelling that is part cinema, part gaming, and a whole new realm of narrative expression, interactivity, and immersion. We are poised on the edge of a new frontier.”

The Legend of Duty
"Where is the Princess? Talk!"
Or maybe The Call of Zelda? If anyone were ever to make a Nintendo mod of a Call of Duty game, this would be the way to go.
Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is bustin caps and takin names. Bearing the Triforce of Courage, he sets out on an epic quest to rid the world of terrorism with tried and true justice... of hot smoking lead!
But remember kids, guns are bad.
