New XBox Experience screenshot
This is what your new Gamercard is going to look like in the “New XBox Experience” dashboard that’s coming out pretty soon. I guess XBox has taken a page from the Wii book when it comes to this little duder chillin’ out by your gamerpoints. Now I can finally make myself look like a chick on XBL and have yet ANOTHER digital image to masturbate to.

Happy Monday: Rock Band DLC Preview
It’s Monday, and you know what that means- time to see what’s coming out for Rock Band tomorrow. Oh, guess what? It’s Megadeth.
- Wake Up Dead
- The Conjuring
- Devil’s Island
- Good Mourning/Black Friday
- Bad Omen
- I Ain’t Superstitious
- My Last Words
Apparently, you Rock Band 1 noobs can’t get the title track, because- guess what!- it’s on RB2 already. Sorry PS3ers!
- “One of Those Nights” by The Cab
- “Hands Down” by Dashboard Confessional
- “She’s a Handsome Woman” by Panic! at the Disco
- “Natural Disaster” by Plain White T’s
Jsizz told me last night that Panic! at the Disco was originally formed to be a Fallout Boy cover band. If that’s your aspiration in life, you are setting your goals way short- we don’t need ANOTHER Pete Wentz running around in the world. These tunes are about one bone-diddly each (80 MSP), or four for four (320 MSP), though, if you are going to piss away your money like this, you might be better off going to the hardware store, buying the coarsest sandpaper you can find, fashioning it into a glove, and masturbating the day away.

XBox employee shitcanned for stating obvious
Has anyone heard about this guy who got fired from Microsoft for telling a reporter about how the company knew about the RROD? The man’s name is Robert Delaware, a video game tester. Here’s what he said:
“Microsoft knew it had flawed machines, but it did not delay its launch because it believed the quality problems would subside over time. With each new machine, the company figured it would ride the “learning curve,” or continuously improve its production. Even though Microsoft’s leaders knew their quality wasn’t top notch, they did not ensure that resources were in place to handle returns and quickly debug bad consoles. There were plenty of warning signs, but the company chose to ignore them. The different parts of the business weren’t aligned.”So now Microsoft is taking civil action against this guy. What is this, some sort of vast conspiracy to try to keep the public from realizing that the 360 was made like shit? Tell me something I don’t already know. Microsoft knows it, and we know it, too. And we knew they knew it. This is like if Sony were to hunt down anyone who said that Liar was a post-birth abortion waiting to happen. They should have taken the wire coat hanger to it before it even hit shelves.

Welcome to UberNerdery
With the release of Rock Band 2, I have decided that it was about time to start writing about all of the nerdage that occurs in my life. This is something I’ve told myself I was going to do for a long, long time, but never really got around to doing it because, well, with nerdery comes laziness. But, no more, my friends. Now the masses can have their lives enriched by my vast knowledge of technology, games, shows, movies, gadgets, books, music, comics, and pages from the interwebs. No need to thank god, I’ll take all the credit here. I guess I’m just the source of everything you need to know.
