We gave you a taste, and now here's the entire episode of Penn & Teller's Bullshit!, which takes on the issue of violent video games and the people that love to hate them. The episode is currently on YouTube in three parts as seen on GamePolitics. Here's a taste of that episode.

The show excels at making what they want to look bad look extremely bad, so we can't really take this as any sort of reasoned argument, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun. You'll definitely want to wear headphones while watching, because Penn curses enough for him and his little mute friend.

While the show will tap mentally rickety individuals who say regrettable things like "Grand Theft Auto is the worst assault on children since polio," it will also feature illustrative charts and graphs, as seen in this newest preview for Thursday's episode of Penn & Teller's Bullshit!

Armed with a handy visual aid in this snippet is Chris Cooney, who drives the point... somewhere with his "Fire Triangle" diagram, complete with Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold imagery for maximum scariness.

Can't say that Bullshit!'s one of my favorite shows, as the episodes I've seen haven't left me feeling that much more informed, but this episode should be interesting. Check your local listings and all that.

Looks like they're going after the idea that video game violence begets real world violence, specifically Thompson's claim that games represent "the greatest attack on children since polio." Shouldn't take much for this Mythbusters-with-a-middle-finger to knock that one down.

The rest of the minute long trailer says bullshit four times and also features audio of women orgasming, or at least faking it, and saying "female ejaculation." So, consider it NSFW. P&T:BS resumes its next season Thursday on Showtime. Not sure if Jack's in the premiere episode or what. Update: Newly-minted commenter MontagueMusket points out the JT episode will be July 9, according to Wikipedia.

That would mesh nicely with that rumor from EGM that Microsoft was permitting third parties to manufacture their own Xbox 360 compatible hardware, wouldn't it? Unfortunately, it all sounds like total bunkum.

First, Samsung already has an "X-Series" line of notebook computers. Second, the above television is just a Samsung LNS2652 model LCD HDTV with a quick and dirty Photoshop color swap and an Xbox LIVE logo inexplicably slapped on. That particular model is about two years old and, like all other Samsung LCD TVs has a model number starting with "L." That's not conclusive evidence, but it certainly doesn't help us believe that we're looking at something legit.

Our "source" didn't respond to requests for more information or clarification.

It's true that Samsung and Microsoft have enjoyed a long standing partnership and we don't necessarily doubt the validity of the EGM rumor. After all, Microsoft may believe that an iMac-style hardware approach will get more Xbox 360s in the homes of those looking to jump in to high definition gaming. And they might be right.

We've contacted Microsoft and Samsung to get comment. Consider it rumor (and more than likely a fabrication) for now.

"That's a Nigerian 419 scam," my friend at work said. "They put these dream homes up and try to sucker you into placing a holding fee or deposit."

I was crushed. I could take the relentless fakery and heartbreak of trolling for online sex in the spam-soaked CL casual encounters. But housing? Was nothing sacred? And now there is this:

Know what I hate? When they want $100K but retail price is $99,999, like I don't know it's just a dollar's difference. Please. $50,000 or I walk.

Nick Brutal over at Destructoid had a lovely conversation with a Sony rep this past Christmas Eve at a local EB Games. Seems the PS3 kiosk at the store had been locking up regularly since it arrived, and Mr. Brutal there decided to ask the rep why.

"So dude over there," I said pointing to the busy clerk, "says he keeps the kiosk off because it keeps freezing up."

"Nope. No it doesn't."

"Well, actually, yeah. It does. I've seen it happen myself."

"No. It doesn't. We did that on purpose," he said.

"You make the entire console lock up on purpose because ... why?"

"We do that so that people won't play it all day long," he explained. "Specifically during Motorstorm, we made it freeze up a lot."

i was playing wii sports boxing with my brother and we were playing in a pretty small room. the idiot go so into the action and tried to side swipe my character when his nunchuk hit me in my right eye. i have an absolutely massive bloody black eye and can hardly even open it.

Don't believe me?

to top it off, about 5 minutes later he was playing on his own when the wii remote shot out of his hand and hit the tv. its only a cheap crt, but he's put a dark patch in it from the impact. anyway, thought i may as well let others get a kick out of my mishaps...

"Sony says the next generation starts when they say so - bullshit!"

Quoth the Rein. I'm covering this because everyone is in a huge tizzy because he said horsepucky to Sony. Let's hop in the Flashback Cadillac and revisit our friend Mark's various statements over the past year.

In this old interview he talks about wanting to get game prices down to the price of DVDs. He hates second hand games, saying that tech support was being wasted on people who didn't actually pay the company for the game, and that the secondhand games market was driving up the firsthand prices.

He was then booed at the Develop Conference this July for sputtering derisively about episodic content, which usually cost about as much as a DVD and cannot be secondhanded at all.

So forgive me, if whenever Rein unbuttons his lip, I roll my eyes so hard my sinuses grind together. Eliza Gauger

So, you've read our E3 coverage, but perhaps, you're still wondering "what is E3 really like?" Shucks if I know. Joel had me ironing his collared shirts all week. Thankfully, our Weekend Editor Mike (guy in Pikachu costume) has written a tell-all, providing the low-down on what "really" went behind the scenes. But since nothing actually interesting went on behind the scenes, Mike made a buncha crap up, tongue planted firmly in cheek. —Brian Ashcraft
