VGA’s Tonight
Turn your TVs to Spike TV tonight to watch the 2009 Video Game Awards. This year we’ll be seeing an exclusive trailer for Halo: Reach among some other new titles! If you happen to be at Washington State University, then the channel is 59 (Go Cougs!), but my hunch is you’re not so look up what station Spike is on in your TV listings if you don’t know already. Let the awards begin!

About the Invasion (From Deacon Blade):
The voice of those who aren’t pleased with behavior on Xbox Live is growing and I wanted to create an avenue bigger than just finding a friend of a friend of a friend…hence the reason why The Invasion began.
I wanted to coordinate a huge gaming night for as many communities as possible and it worked. There were over 23 communities involved in the first attack and they all left thinking it was amazing to play with people who weren’t shouting racism around or stupid profanities etc.
It was one big night of making friends and gaming with complete strangers…one big night of everyone letting their hair down.
12 Days of Christmas… Remix!
Since the holiday season is upon us and we’re acting like good boys and girls so Santa listens to our wishes, I have made a Halo remix to the classic song “12 Days of Christmas.” I realize I am in no way a great song writer and I don’t think John Mayer will be hitting me up for lyrics anytime soon, but here it is:

On the third day of Christmas

Javelin Glitchers Beware!
If you’re one of those gamers who enjoys using in-game exploits to kill your enemy with an extremely unfair and inhumane advantage, then you might want to pay attention to this…
The infamous “Javelin Glitch” that haunts Modern Warfare 2 has been addressed by Infinity Ward and they are looking into solutions to fix it. In the meantime, the Xbox LIVE Enforcement Team will be banning any players who are caught using this exploit. Here’s the statement straight from Stepto, Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox LIVE via Twitter:
While IW works on getting the MW2 glitch fixed, people we catch using it will recieve suspensions from LIVE. Play fair everyone. :>
If you want more insight on this policy, listen to Major Nelson’s show this week since Stepto will be discussing how exploiting a glitch is considered cheating. Play nice, kids.
