Sex Toy PC Case Mods

Tags: pc, sextoy

While LonelyGirl15 may be a fake, real lonely girls need sex too. Luckily, for lonely girls (and boys) there are PC case mods to make coping with loneliness just a bit more fun. Now even the geekist can get laid regularly... well, kinda.

Feast your eyes on the female PC case mod for women:


Female PC case mod

This case comes equipped with a series of vibrators, handlebars, candles, and wet-wipes. It also has a smooth rounded exterior perfect for mounting.

On the other hand, the male PC mod offers a pseudo-vag, a mirror (for watching), hand lotion, tissue, and most importantly cup-holders. Although the cup-holders serve no sexual purpose, they are integral to any PC case mod.

While sex toy PC case mods aren't the same as having sex with an actual human being, at least they are warm.

G.R.A.W. PC Multiplayer Pack 3 Now Available

Ubisoft announced today the release of new content for the PC version of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, marking the aclaimed first person shooter at version 1.30. The added content includes two favorite multiplayer modes from the Ghost Recon franchise, as well as access and usage to new console admin tools. Yay new server functionality!

Siege Mode
In Siege you fight for control of a strategic zone, where one team defends (the Ghosts) while the other attacks (the Mexicans). If the attacking team manages to get inside the zone and survive for more than five seconds, they will win the game.
 
Original Ghost Recon Co-op Mode
In OGR Cooperative mode, you and your team-mates face off against hostile soldiers in enemy territory. Your mission is to reach the extraction point. The rebel troops have taken Camp Chapultepec and are using it as a staging area for their activities in the region. Their presence is increasingly affecting the operations of troops loyal to the Mexican President and the Ghosts are sent to deal with the situation before the rebels can fortify their position. This mode allows for up to 12 players to play together (3 teams of 4 players)!


Got a trigger finger on the Mexicans?

Q. How did you articulate the different OGR Cooperative maps in terms of scenario?
A. Each map has a unique storyline that we hope will immerse the player in the adventure.
In “John Doe’s Hellhole”, the Ghosts are deployed in the suburbs of Mexico City and fight for control of every street corner as they struggle to put an end to the conflict. Snipers overhead make any foray into open streets a lethal risk. With several members down already, these cramped city streets are quickly becoming do or die for the Ghosts.
In “Ready for Bear”, the rebel troops have taken Camp Chapultepec and are using it as a staging area for their activities in the region. Their presence is increasingly affecting the operations of troops loyal to the Mexican President, and the Ghosts are sent to deal with the situation before the rebels can fortify their position.
Finally, in “Mayday, Mayday”, a US helicopter was shot down in Chapultepec Park some hours ago and the Ghosts are en route in to investigate. Intelligence has detected heavy enemy activity in the area and it is believed that rebels are moving the remains of the chopper to their stronghold at the castle.


The patch is, of course, free. An source of slight bitterness for those playing on the Xbox 360, as the G.R.A.W. Chapter 2 package cost a hefty 1200 points vs. the free PC download.

The Top 100 PC Games of the 21st Century?

Next-Gen has prematurely released a list of the top 100 PC games of the 21st century based entirely on the number of units sold. A quick perusal of the list reveals dozens of games you've never heard of and will most likely never play on account of them being diabolically terrible, whilst the rest are games you most likely own and have shunned your family in favor of.

Here are some notes on how this list works.
• Stats, ordering and research: thanks to game publishers, retail analysis sources and NPD data.
• Games are ranked by units sold; then by revenue generated. This tends to favor games released earlier, rather than later, and games which have spent a long time at a lower price point have also done well, but we wanted to reward longevity and popularity across all audiences, not just hardcore.
• In the event of a tie, games are then ranked by 'most recently released' and then by Gameranking average review scores. Special thanks to Gamerankings, just for being an exceptionally well produced resource.
• Games are ranked according to the highest selling SKU only. Otherwise the list would be full of sports iterations and big brand spin-offs and sequels. In the case of a single intellectual property being used in multiple genres of game, however, each genre's top SKU will be represented – we want to reward taking risks with IP.



Starting out atop the list one will quickly find this little gem.

98.
Slots 2: Betty Boop
Publisher: Masque
Developer: Masque
Released: Oct '01
Estimated Sales: 210,000
Franchise Sales: 1.4 Million
Revenues: $3.8 Million



Surely the humans buying this discounted "Entertainment" software out of Wal-Mart discount bins across America are a financial force to be reckoned with. Though it should be unbelievably inspiring to any would-be game developers out there to know that a slot machine game featuring a character your grandmother found hilarious can generate millions in revenue.

Rock Out to FlatOut 2

A game's soundtrack can be a major factor in turning the masses on or off. The Grand Turismo, SSX and Tony Hawk franchises all typically have top notch sounctracks. In fact, I first started to enjoy Louis XIV because of the most recent SSX game. Today Empire Interactive revealed the rocktastic musical lineup for their upcoming sequel to FlatOut.

On the bill are Rob Zombie, Alkaline Trio, Audioslave, Wolfmother, Fall Out Boy, and a questionable Nickelback. I know that when I'm speeding down low traction dirt roads, with scenery resembling an abstract painting by a prolific monkey, the last thing that's going to push me and my surging adrenaline over the winning edge is a track by Nickleback.

FlatOut 2 is due for release June 30th in Europe, and August 1st in the United States, with 12 new race environments, and twice as many tracks. Vehicles available this round have doubled, divided into race, derby and street classes. Online play is fully supported on all platforms, with battles of up to 8 players on Xbox Live and PC, and 6 players on PS2 Online.

The Awesomeness of 2007 PC Game Releases

Tags: PC, games

Despite the fact that it has mainly been a dust collector of late, I knew that building my PC box was a good idea. Today I got proof: GameSpot's PC Gaming forum has an epic list of potential heavy hitter exclusives scheduled for 2007 release.

My personal choices include:

Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars -- Welcome back, my old RTS friend.

Wil Wright's SPORE -- Is anyone not excited about this ground breaking game?

Warhammer Online: While I'm loyal to the Warcraft franchise, I can't help
but be totally into playing this. And please, no Warcraft copied Warhammer lore. I've already heard enough.

Crysis: Fuck yeah! Do I even need to explain?

Stalker: I'm so completely curious.

Alan Wake: The scenery alone is worth checking out.

But that's just me. There are plenty more to choose from, and you can check out the rest of the coming year's releases here.
