Hey all you gamers out there. There is one sad thing about my gaming childhood and thats that I never had a Nintendo home console until the N64. That means I missed out on the NES and SNES era of games. That is a lot of great games I have never had the chance to play, at least for any extended amount of time. That has now changed as I got a SNES of Ebay along with 22 games. So check out the vid and see how it all went down.

Geeksquisite attends The Beatles: Rock Band Launch Party
A local radio station, WBAB, hosted a midnight release for The Beatles: Rockband. There was a live cover band, The Daytrippers, a raffle, the game was up and playable, and there was some Karaoke too. Me and Ed went to this event and filmed some stuff for you guys. Enjoy!
Bobby Kotick don't need no consoles
Even the Simpsons don't like Kotick
GREED GREED GREED
Bobby Kotick is a greedy self absorbed CEO (of Activision), yeah I get that. This isn't simply someone wanting more profit, it's simply him wanting Activision to sever ties with the companies that make him money.
Activision has games that go as far back as Atari, Activision profited from the popularity of the console market. Now Kotick is so proud of himself that maybe one day, he won't need to put Activision's games and other stuff on any console. I guess this means he would like to exclusively put Activision games on computers and plug and play plastic devices. It's definitely a possibility.
Maybe Kotick doesn't realize that since hardware is working with it's developers to make better games, it'd be damn foolish to break the trend and start trying to sell the games on their own. Gamers hear rumor of EA making its own console, but developers really don't have the power to make a good console let alone support it with many exclusives. Companies tried that years ago, and look how few consoles we have to choose from compared with years ago.
Kotick, if you can't just shut your mouth, then I hope you engage in your scheme and fail. Which you will.

If you haven't read any, which manga have you seen that has interested you the most?
If you'd like to submit a question just send an e-mail to geeksquisite@gmail.com with the subject line "Question of the Day".

Batman Arkham Asylum DLC
Does not include Bale's throat cancer voice
Eidos has previously announced DLC for Batman Arkham Asylum, in fact there will be more DLC coming. However until I heard what it actually would be, it didn't pay to report about it.
Well that has thankfully changed with the assurance that all DLC SO FAR for Batman Arkham Asylum will be free. On September 17th, the Insane Night map pack will be available, which will test you in your abilities of stealth to take out enemies.
Personally, I couldn't see how to really expand on the game with DLC. But the idea of making more challenging stealth missions is pretty cool, I happen to like the stealth oriented moments and the DLC certainly could help boost the already amazing sales. 2 million copies is nothing to sneeze at, although the idea of a sequel doesn't appeal to me. Leave the game alone, let it become a legendary moment of success in the Batman history of video games.
Patrick Swayze Dead at Age 57
Today on September 14th 2009 the great Patrick swayze lost his battle with cancer. I grew up in a house hold with a mom who absolutely loved Dirty Dancing and Ghost. I have some great childhood memories sitting down with my mom when I was little and watching Ghost when it would come on the WB or TBS. RIP you will be greatly missed.
