X-Play on G4TV is airing a half hour long special on this year’s upcoming Game Of The Year, Brutal Legend.  The hosts get an exclusive look at the game, plus an interview with rock/gaming god Tim Schaefer and some never before seen footage of the game.  I personally am going to DVR this, if I wasn’t too lazy to get up and actually walk to the TV to set it.  Sometimes I wish I had TiVo, so I could set my DVR to record without actually getting up.  They have a sweet iPhone app that allows you to do that.  Get coding on a Time Warner one, geeks!!!!  The nerds demand it.

Destructoid.com got a treasure chest delivered to their door yesterday.  They looted it, and what they found excites and offends me . Monster is releasing a new Call of Duty: MW2 flavor called Assault.  The side of the can reads:

The next evolution in gaming is coming… Modern Warfare 2. If you’ve ever played Call of Duty you know what we’re talking about. Creator Infinity Ward hooked us up with an advance copy of MW2 and we were so stoked on the game we put it on our can. Grab a Monster Assault and prepare to wage an all out assault against the many faces of modern warfare.

The drink is exclusive to Sam’s Club, but contains a code to redeem online for prizes.  Prizes include free copies of the game, free DLC map pack (release date Spring 2010), free themes for your Xbox or PS3, and a free case of Monster.

While video game licensed beverages have been enjoyable in the past (Halo 3 Game Fuel and its rerelease as WoW game fuel), MW2 juice drops the ball here.  Monster has NEVER been good- it tastes like battery acid and has the consistency of cough syrup.  Red bull should take a hint and make a Brutal Legend energy drink- there’s an idea.

On the plus side, at least this will be good for the game.  My brother is addicted to both Call of Duty and energy drinks, so this will be right up his alley.  And of course, you can’t forget all the 9 year olds that are going to be on Xbox Live playing this game and drinking the juice.  Ever seen Role Models? Imagine playing the black kid from that movie, but he’s been freebasing for the past 36 hours.  I can’t WAIT to be banned from Live for the things I’m gonna scream over my headset.

Every girl needs to get their boyfriend a pair of these Guitar Hero pajama pants.  Although my sister got them for me as a joke, I thought they were phenom.  Yes, I do have a girlfriend… who is real… and who is also not my sister.   Be jealous.  Anyway… ITS GOT A DOOBIE HOLE!!! If I gotta take a piss, I just whip it out the hole.  Genius… perfect for poopsocking.  Thanks, Activision!

P.S.: By the way… don’t hate on my paintshop skills.  I don’t care what you people think about the cut and paste job.  I know I’m better.
