Hey there once again folks! It's the guy you love to hate with some 'news you can use': AKU.
One of the biggest controversies this past week was the decision of Valve to crackdown on people breaking TOS and using idler programs to get all those pretty hats in Team Fortress 2. Their punishment was to have the illgotten items taken away. Those who were honest, got special halo hats for their accounts. Now, no matter which side of the argument you're on, idler programs are against TOS and the company retains the right to punish as they see fit. Now, after having said that...people, they are hats. Hats that add nothing but aesthetic appeal. Relax, kthxbai.
In other news, huge MMO released last week: Champions Online. Yours truly plays occasionally (add me: akumanoko) and so far, the game is quite entertaining. The character customization and powers selection are exquisite. The only complaint I have so far is lack of attempt to make me CARE about most of the missions. Besides that, the game is great and is an excellent diversion from WOW or any other poison you sit down at your computer to take.
As for you LEFT 4 DEAD players: a new special infected was unveiled: The Jockey. Imagine leaping onto your prey and riding them away from their friends. That's the jockey. A useful special for splitting up close-knit groups. I can so see a jockey, spitter, hunter, smoker combo in my future.
Watch this space for more news and a very special announcement from either myself or Mr. SmOoThEm...you all will love it!
I now leave you with your moment of zen
