While Activision and Nintendo reported their financial earnings for the last few months, a few game-related stories that don't have to do with account balances also appeared on our radar. We've found them and now present them in today's Daily Stale Bread.
05/06 -- Video game publishers visit the ATM
sandisk "official" xbox 360 flash drive: yep, it's just an ordinary flash drive
AJ: Meet the new USB, same as the old USB.
Dave: But it's color-coordinated to match the 360! That's gotta be worth twice the normal price in and of itself...
AJ: *chortle*
Dave: This makes me wary that I may have missed a classic by blocking out Farmville updates from my friends... actually, on second thought, nah.
Cataclysm Friends & Family Alpha
AJ: Warcraft Cataclysm screen leak. I'll tweet it.
Dave: Has anyone made a "these screens gave me a cataclgasm" joke yet?
Date Set For PSN Final Fantasy IX
AJ: Call me an ignorant sot, but I don't know WHY everybody likes that game.
Will: AJ, you ignorant sot.
AJ: Eh, Kuja is a less-cool version of Kefka.
Will: It's all about Vivi.
pac-man pairs power pills with pinot noir
AJ: Those would be cool if they made the eating noise when you drank out of them.
Dave: Yeah, but it would get annoying hearing that five hours every day from my cubicle.
Medal of Honor to get multiplayer betaAJ: Announcing a Medal of Honor multiplayer beta is like announcing that the sun will rise tomorrow.
Dave: There's going to be a sunrise tomorrow? Thank gosh. I was planning on doing stuff outside.
Ben Kingsley to star in Fable 3
AJ: Wow, Ben Kingsley in Fable III -- let's hope it's better than his performance in Bloodrayne.
Dave: There has never been a bar set so low in the history of bar-setting.
