I CAN FEEL IT COMING OVER ME!

In an interview with CBR, writer Jim Zubkavich describes the four-part series as “a teen action-dramedy in the vein of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and says “It’s fun, energetic and filled with snappy banter, coupled with the best artwork of Omar Dogan’s career.”

So it’s nothing like the horrible anime section’s in Street Fighter IV? Cool. Check out the whole lengthy interview over here.

The Sega Europe Blog announced earlier today that Aliens, Alien3, and AVP film veteran Lance Henriksen will reprise his role as Charles Bishop Weyland in the forthcoming Alien Vs Predator game. Mr. Henriksen seems to be very pleased with his digitally rendered self (courtesy of Rebellion, the game’s developer) stating, “I might score from this game!”

Gross.

For the uninformed and the uninitiated, Modern Warfare 2’s competitive multiplayer game has recently run into a problem involving players exploiting a glitch that allows them to FUCKING EXPLODE AND DECIMATE ANYONE STANDING WITHIN A 50 FOOT RADIUS OF THEIR DYING BODY. The glitch works like this: Equip a javelin missile launcher, “do” the glitch (Google it. It’s disgustingly easy.), run into a group of players, DIE, they rack up the points as you immediately take them down with you, you cheap-ass, son-of-a-bitch.

If you’re finding out about this now, I’m sure that you think that the glitch is hilarious. You’re right, it is. It’s especially funny when two “glitchers” cross paths. It turns into this absolutely hilarious staring match of two idiots trying to figure out the best way to handle this impossible situation. If one stabs the other, the other explodes. Is one, measly kill worth the trouble? Anyway, the initial hilarity fades quickly when every game you enter is nothing more than a series of exploding retards.

Infinity Ward says the fix will be out soon. According to Mr. Robert Bowling, the PS3 fix is “in the pipeline” and the Xbox 360 patch is currently in Microsoft certification. A warning note to all you crazy, ’splosion men: Microsoft is threatening exploit-abusers with a 24 hour ban, but I’d say you probably have a better chance at getting struck by lightning, so bombs away.

So what are all of the honest gamers left to do until this game-breaking situation is resolved? Try playing a different game mode. “Search and Destroy” seems fine whenever I have tried it. If the suicide bombers find you there, play Left 4 Dead 2!
