It's one of the greatest games ever made. Playing it is a rite of passage for millions. It's a game that becomes increasingly difficult the longer you play it. That's right, I'm talking about beer pong—make that, Beer Pong. More »

Why don't more cars come with a beer tap? Oh yeah, the whole wasted morons killing people thing. Well Dream Arcades has just released the next best thing to getting wasted and hitting the road with the Octane 120, a custom built driving arcade cabinet featuring a 120 inch HD projection screen, a 5.1 audio system, a home theater PC complete with 12 classic racing games, a PlayStation 3 compatible steering wheel, and of course, dual beer taps, front and rear.

Looks like the Grand Theft Auto IV machine is starting to kick into gear with this collection of videos. Rockstar has provided GameTrailers with five clips from the highly anticipated game that introduce us to some of the seedy denizens and businesses that make up the fictional Liberty City. The Steinway Beer Gardens commercial is may favorite. "This is male bonding the old fashioned way!" More »

The Austin GDC Exhibit Hall In Pictures

Mike Fahey — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 20:00:25 EDT

As the Austin Game Developers Conference is an industry event, you won't see any startling game revelations or new titles featured on the expo floor. What you will find is t-shirts, pens, key chains, toys, and a whole lot of people looking for work and recruiting for same. I think the main highlight of the floor was the BioWare booth, which had free candy. Insomniac comes in a close second, giving out slinkies, and Emergent Game Technologies' beer booth comes in third, because a free beer table with a tip jar is not really a free beer table. More »

March of the Unfit Gaming Press

Mike Fahey — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 22:10:14 EDT

Why does this man hate freedom? Perhaps it is because after four days of rushing about from appointment to appointment, walking countless miles across the city of Santa Monica, the promise of a party finds him walking a long and lonely mile down a deserted beachfront along with hundreds of others doing exactly the same thing, which technically negates the deserted and lonely bits I know, but it's my narrative and you can't have it. At roughly 5PM on Friday, July 13th, Gamecock and a couple hundred friends mourned the death of the annual E3 'make the gaming press walk around for days' festival with another mile of walking.

PS3 VS. 360 - The Beer Difference

Mike Fahey — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 16:20:30 EDT

To commemorate the launch of the PlayStation 3, the folks at Computer and Video Games (CVG) received the gift of beer. 146 worth of Foster's to be exact, which is the difference between the cost of the Xbox 360 and the PS3 in the UK. The present came from Microsoft of course, with the following message attached: More »

Halo, The Beer

Brian Ashcraft — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 10:22:16 EDT

Think beer, evolved. Brewed by Oregon's Widmer Brothers Brewing, this "Broken Halo" India Pale Ale isn't some viral Bungie campaign for Halo 3, but a happy coincidence. The green label was a complete kawinky-dink as well—at least, we think so. Though the brewer's website claims, "The finish is juicy, clean, and short lived." Kinda like me playing Halo 2 on Xbox Live. Brian Ashcraft More »

WASSUP: Fire Water Drinking Game Characters

Brian Ashcraft — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 16:20:42 EDT

While I loathed the original "Wassup" Budweiser ad, this fan-made version staring game characters is worth a post. Heck, anything that features Duke Nukem sticking out his tongue is. Brian Ashcraft More »
