google map of liberty city for GTA 4 fans

GTA 4 Liberty City Map

IGN utilized Google Map's engine to create a huge, zoomable map of Liberty City. It comes complete with various Points of Interests and other useful information. And the best part is, anybody can contribute their own discoveries on the map (here's the guide). Very cool.

My only gripe is the map itself appears to be a scan of the poster they give out with the game. It would be awesome if Rockstar released a digital, pixel-perfect map with my favorite Google Map feature -- Street View.

uwe boll wants you to look harder to see his genius
Posted by Rick Rey

Look, I am not a f**king retard like Michael Bay, or other people running around in the business... or Eli Roth making the same shitty movies over and over again.

The infamous director Uwe Boll, best known for his unpopular video game adaptations, has responded to the online petition that seeks to permanently stop him from making movies.

Whether or not this video is a joke, it's so good that it almost, almost excuses him for whatever filmmaking sins he may have committed. Regardless, somebody out there listened to him and created a pro-Boll petition, which as of right now, has about 800 signatures. The anti-Boll petition, on the other hand, recently passed the 150,000 signature mark. Good luck Boll, I look forward to your next response video.

upcoming expansion adds guitar hero gameplay to world of warcraft!

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

Looks like Blizzard is trying to take advantage of all the Guitar Hero/Rock Band success with the upcoming "Bard" character class. On paper it sounds great, but will my Xbox 360 guitar be compatible or will I have to buy another plastic guitar peripheral???

From the WoW website:

Armed with a trusty axe, killer riffs, and a ton of attitude, the guitar-wielding bard is the second hero class to be introduced in the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion for World of Warcraft. The bard excels both as a solo performer and as part of a solid group lineup, able to front in a number of roles as varied as his musical repertoire.
