<br />
If you haven't noticed, then you probably aren't paying attention.<br />
That's your problem, and I can't help you with that.<br />
<br />
What I can help you with is accurate, painfully researched fake news.<br />
<br />
I have another blog called The Newsosphere, and since it is Election Year, needless to say I have been a busy little beaver with my other blog.<br />
<br />
Click the icon above - the white and blue one with the globe that says "News", you can't miss it - and you will instantly be taken to The Newsophere.<br />
Unless of course you have a really slow connection, then go get a coffee while you wait, watch a YouTube video, catch up on your porn - whatever floats your boat.<br />
<br />
As soon as the gaming world erupts with more delays, crappy ports, controversies, or just plain foolishness courtesy of some leading game developers, GameView will be back.<br />
<br />
We now return you to your regularly scheduled fake gaming news blog, already in progress.<br />
Thanks for watching.<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">SILICON VALLEY - Today Sony announced that is likely that they would not be releasing one of the most anticipated items of this year, the Fallacy Finder, or "Bullshit Detector".</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">"We are never one to turn a blind eye to innovation," said Sony CEO Ken Itwerk, "but we may have pushed the envelope on this product, and in this case the envelope pushed back."</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Details are coming out about the cancelled product. During early test phases, the "bullshit detector" showed incredible results in detecting bullshit. But in the final phase, a common occurrence sealed the fate of the item.</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">"We were just about to start the final phase," one technician explained, "when my partner turned on the television in our lab. But what he didn't know was that he had inadvertently exposed the detector to overwhelming masses of bullshit. The detector overheated, and eventually burnt itself out!"</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">He added, "I don't think that people realize just how much bullshit they are exposed to on a daily basis, and that's not just the ones who watch Fox News."</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">However, all may not be lost. Sony is also planning a safety restriction guideline for consumers, in hopes that they might be able to finish work on the "bullshit detector" and release it in the Fall. "We feel that this is a minor setback, and if people could just restrict their use of the detector to certain detector-friendly environments, we are confident that this could be the must-have product of 2012."</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Sony has listed many things that could cause a possible overload, including 24-hour news networks, reality shows, political debates, and most advertising.</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">In related news, the Cliche Alert app for the iPhone 5 is a stone's throw away from being released, but insiders say unless they keep the wolf away from the door, it will be available when the cows come home...</span></span>Glenn Rogershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17895137835139013988noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979379600838194635.post-23726623984584987022012-04-16T11:11:00.001-05:002012-04-16T11:11:58.176-05:00Sony Vows To Release PS4 Before Xbox 720, Considers Time Travel<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Today Sony Computer Entertainment announced that it is essential that they release the upcoming Playstation 4 console before Microsoft's next console, the Xbox 720, in order to stay competitive in the gaming market. Among the strategies they are considering is the use of time travel.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">After their historic billion dollar sale to Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, the creators of the smart phone app Instagram are not resting on their laurels. “Not only do we have a new product in mind, but we also have no idea what laurels are.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The innovators of the popular app Instagram, which allows users to alter photos taken on their phones to look like vintage photographs, will be rolling out the new RetroRotary app, which simulates a rotary phone. “Users are forced to dial people’s phone numbers by putting their finger on the dial and spinning it to the selected numbers to make a call. It’s an innovation whose time has come, just like an app that makes your photos look like crappy amateur images.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Polaroid has also expressed interest in working with iPhone and Android on a concept that they feel “is the next logical step.” A special feature for the next series of smart phones will be the ability to take Polaroid pictures right from the phone. “We have the technology to print out Polaroid quality pictures that develop straight from the phone. Now we just need a bunch of poor bastards to think it’s a good idea…”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The recently released and much anticipated iPad 3 had consumers salivating. “I always want to be the first person to have the latest big thing,” commented Albert Dente. “I can’t wait to fire this baby up and check out all of the new features! It should keep me busy until the next big thing, or when I realize I need to get a life – whichever comes first!”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Apple says that the hype for the new iPad promises to dwarf the iPad 2, and maybe even the original iPad. “We also have high hopes that its popularity will best that of the light bulb and the printing press,” says an Apple representative. “Not to mention sliced bread. Which, by the way, is also an app featured on the iPad 3.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“We project that people worldwide will embrace it, marvel at its new features, then quickly lose interest within at least a month,” says Al A.

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Today Activision announced that they are launching a new video game based on the upcoming movie <i>Battleship</i>, which is based on the classic board game by Hasbro. "It's a bold step," says Activision spokesman Heywood Jablome. "This is unprecedented in the video game industry, and also pretty ridiculous."</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The upcoming adaptation of the forthcoming movie based on the no longer coming game will feature classic <i>Battleship</i> gameplay, except for the fact that the player will be battling aliens. "Why didn't the people who created the game come up with that idea?" says Hasbro spokesman Oldis Newagin. "Oh yeah, because it's stupid."</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /></span><br />

"Of all of the fake gaming news blogs out there, this is certainly the only one," said President Barack Obama. </span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">However, some offered curious kudos. John McCain asked, "what's a blog?", while former GOP nominee Michele Bachmann said, "I'm running for president."

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Upcoming consoles are already garnering massive popularity among the gaming industry. Microsoft's Xbox 720 and Playstation 4 are the clear front runners, with Nintendo's next effort, the Wii U, still generating skepticism. "It's not that the controller for the Wii U seems to be a bulky, tablet like thing that looks like a headache to use," explains a writer for GamePro. Oh wait, yeah it is."</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Though the specs for both the 720 and PS4 have yet to be revealed, it has been reported that Sony will have the most powerful machine on the market, but, Sony says, "only after the gamer installs about twenty updates." The 720, however, will not require any updates, a source at Microsoft reported. But he also said that there will be no Kinect support for the new console because "Kinect sucks".</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Several leading game companies are caught up in the anticipation of the next generation consoles. "We are looking forward to developing games for the new consoles, and of course, giving gamers a chance to play the best and most innovative titles to be offered. We are also looking forward to hyping the hell out of the least impressive ones!"</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">2012 looks to be a stellar year for the video gamer, with new and innovative consoles and games. And with them, countless updates and bugs.</span></span></span>Glenn Rogershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17895137835139013988noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979379600838194635.post-72850249357369356712012-01-07T11:26:00.001-06:002012-01-07T11:26:30.321-06:00THE GAMEVIEW 2011 AWARDS FOR VIDEO GAME EXELLENCE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today sales figures pointed to the conclusion that 2011's big winner critically and financially is Bethesda's RPG hit, <i>The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim</i>. They also indicated that any game that was <i>not</i> called <i>Skyrim</i> was the least successful game of the year.<br /><br />"There
were other games, to be sure," one gaming analyst says, "but I think
they would have benefited greatly had they also been called <i>Skyrim</i>. There is a lesson here for future developers - call your game something like <i>Elder Scrolls</i> or <i>Skyrim</i> and you will have a guaranteed hit."<br /><br />A recent poll by GameR shows the percentage comparison: <br /><br /><i>Skyrim</i> 95%<br /><i>Not Skyrim</i> 5%<br /><br />Several leading game companies have already announced upcoming titles such as <i>Batman: Skyrim</i>, <i>Super Mario Skyrim</i>, <i>Uncharted 4: Skyrim</i>, and <i>Duke Nukem: Skyrim Forever</i>. <br /><br />The
only developer who is undaunted, however, is Rockstar Games, famous for
the Grand Theft Auto series. "According to extensive research," says a
Rockstar representative, "our series will get '10 out of 10' reviews and
make millions for the next ten years, as our contracts with various
gaming media websites will confirm."<br /><br />In related news, Activision announced that their <i>Call of Duty</i> series will continue to be a hugely successful franchise until gamers are no longer sheep.Glenn Rogershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17895137835139013988noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979379600838194635.post-10554034678661752052011-12-28T18:32:00.000-06:002011-12-28T18:32:25.356-06:00Top Ten Failed Gadgets or Apps of 2011<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Several game studios announced today that, because of the overwhelming success of games on iPhone and iPad, all next generation games will be developed exclusively for the mobile platforms. "When you look at sales, clearly console games have heard their death knell - </span><i style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Death Knell</i><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> also soon to be a mobile game - the future is smaller," says a noted game sales analyst.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">"As people's attention spans get smaller and smaller, we feel that so should the way they see games. After all, size no longer matters. The bigger you are no longer delivers the goods, and even suggests that you may be compensating for something, so don't get cocky," explains Activision CEO Jack Napier.</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Gamers can expect the next titles in successful franchises such as </span><i style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Call of Duty</i><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> for iPhones, iPads, and the new Playstation Vita. If successful, the campaign by leading game companies will further promote eyestrain, and with any luck, carpal tunnel syndrome. Skeptics suggest that this trend may not be healthy for the average person, but several have pointed out that "healthy" is no longer in vogue.</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">"In fact," adds Mr. Napier, "when you think about it, the only 'healthy' is in the magazine Vogue, and it's mostly photoshopped."</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">In related news, many new games will feature even smaller in-game text to ensure that gamers will have no f**king clue as to what they're doing...</span></span>Glenn Rogershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17895137835139013988noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979379600838194635.post-88885748884390892072011-12-15T12:09:00.000-06:002011-12-15T12:09:19.267-06:00"Google Shoot View" Pulled, Popular with Sick Bastards<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">After the Flash game debuted last week, "Google Shoot View" has been pulled. Created by Pool Worldwide. it let players type in any address, then drop them into a Google Street View location, and let them shoot at people standing around. Needless to say, the new app has drawn considerable controversy.</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">One group, however, voiced their protest of the game cancellation. One gamer posted, "speaking as a really sick bastard, I enjoyed having the option of killing real people, if only as a simulation. But really, what else can you do in prison?" Another gamer posted, "this is so badass! We should have more games like this! I am so glad I stopped taking my medication!"</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Google issued a statement earlier today apologizing profusely for the release of "Shoot View".

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear series, announced at the recent Video Game Awards, that the much anticipated next game would feature non-traditional gameplay for the IP, and would also feature the silliest title in the popular franchise.</span><br />
