Put on your sunglasses and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem, whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure. The alien hordes are back and only Duke can save the world, again. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses won't stop our hero from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it. The King of All Shooters is back with over-the-top weapons, massive aliens and unprecedented levels of interactivity. This game puts pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek, among other places. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle one of the many beautiful women that populate Duke’s life; that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from kicking ass and taking names. Duke Nukem was and will forever be immortalized in gaming history, and this is his legend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SY9rlZmfMA

Spec Ops: The Line is a provocative and gripping third-person modern military shooter that challenges players' morality by putting them in the middle of unspeakable situations where unimaginable choices affecting human life must be made. Spec Ops: The Line unfolds within the destroyed opulence of Dubai. Once the playground for the world's wealthiest elite, Dubai has fallen victim to a series of cataclysmic sandstorms. The city's ultramodern architecture lies half-buried under millions of tons of sand. The very sand that blankets the city plays a marquee role in altering combat situations and serves as a powerful but unpredictable force that will both help and hinder players throughout the course of the game. While most people have fled the now-barren wasteland before the sandstorms swept through, U.S. Army Colonel John Konrad and his loyal squad remained behind to protect those incapable of escape. Unable to reach anyone in Dubai after the storm hit, the U.S. Army feared Konrad and his team dead until they picked up a weak distress signal and launched a rescue operation. As U.S. Army Captain Martin Walker, you and your elite Delta Force team are sent to infiltrate the treacherous region to bring Konrad home. Players will experience "The Line", that razor's edge known only to men who deal in war. It is the line they cross when death and duty become one and the same. It is the end -- of self and sanity -- when their duty is done and only they remain. Features: [*]Deep, Mature Narrative: The story of Captain Walker's rescue mission will challenge players to make tough choices between what’s moral and what’s necessary, as Walker’s journey pushes him to his very limits. [*]Blasted Opulence: The events unfold in a stunning, haunting setting – the remains of Dubai, once one of the wealthiest cities on Earth, now stripped bare. Dubai's bold and luxurious architecture still shines through, in spite of the sandstorms threatening all that’s left. Opulent interiors contrast sharply with the vertigo inducing heights and mass destruction outside of the extravagant structures. [*]Dynamic Sand: Turn the tables on foes by crushing them under a cascade of sand cast down by a strategically placed shot – but beware of oncoming sandstorms and their gale-force winds. The sweeping sands of Dubai feel almost alive, serving as a powerful but unpredictable force that will both help and hinder the mission, while opening up a variety of new interactions and tactics. [*]Brutal, In-Your-Face Action: Join forces with intelligent, resourceful squad mates in fever-pitched gun battles. Accessible combat and squad controls will get you in the fight quickly, where you’ll experience the raw destructive force of your authentic weapons as well as engage in extremely physical close-quarters battles. [*]Endless Multiplayer: In addition to the single-player story mode, Spec Ops: The Line packs a full range of multiplayer features, including a never-before-seen mode with unique connections to the main story, a breadth of competitive and team-based modes, as well as the ability to rank up, personalize, and customize characters from two distinctly different factions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxn8Uv4hAlU

I played it for a little while but I never thought it was anything special

How many family members are in HHH and what's that stand for?

A 22 year-old woman from Jacksonsville, Florida has pleaded guilty to killing her baby son over a game of...Farmville. Alexandra V. Tobias says her three-month old child, Dylan Lee Edmondson, had been crying while she was trying to play the popular Facebook casual game. This angered Tobias, who told authorities that she shook the baby, had a cigarette to calm herself down, then shook him again. It's believed he "may have hit his head during the shaking". Dylan's death was classified as second-degree murder, a charge that carries the possibility of a life sentence in prison.

Welcome, pleasure having you around.

[quote name='HeroicJayneCobb' timestamp='1288227519' post='317'] totally off topic.. but i bought the Modern Warfare 2 strategy guide and there seems to be alot of references to the 'sea snipers'; if its one in the same then i say: sweet! feel like i know a celebrity now ;) Yeah its the same clan. The Sea Snipers get commissioned every once in a while to do strategy guides. They're leader is like a Graphic Designing beast, They did the Call of Duty guides, the SOCOM guides and Halo Reach guide. They also have their own logo, which is in the MW2 game as an unlockable avatar. Our former leader and one of our former members went on to become Sea Snipers, as well as Sabotage here and old friend of ours.

[quote name='ISSI Sabotage' timestamp='1288223418' post='311'] Sup Balz, Kotaco. We've been good, just finished up the last SEAL season. I've been doing okay, still going to school and working all day and all night. Not sure if you guys even own an Xbox, but I've been trying to play Halo as much as I can. Been getting back into Fallout 3 as well to move into Fallout New Vegas when I can. Sounds good man! We have a few here who play Xbox of the books, we're a PS3 based clan for the time being. It's good seeing you around though bud, stop in more often!

The gun toting mother trucking son of a biatch! He joined 2 years ago and he's not going anywhere any time soon! We're pleased to have ya Cobby! Congrats I am pleased to announce that our newest Core Member is HeroicJayneCobb.

What is a Core Member? Core Members have been with mXm for at least 2 years or more. They are the senior members of the bunch. They represent what it means to be an mXmber. They understand that mXm isn't just a tag but a descriptor. These members have found a home within the mXm website and forums, and found a family amongst her members. They love the sense of community. They love the laid back atmosphere. These members are what you called call "lifers" as they plan on being mXm til the end. If they retire from gaming, you bet you'll still see them browsing the forums with their mXm tag. If they're out on vacation in Mexico, they'll stop to write mXm in the sand. If they're painting their bathroom, they'll be sure to write mXm on the wall. If they see other members in need, they'll band together to send them relief supplies. They'll get mXm tattooed on their arms and wear it proud! (Disclaimer: These are just examples of what mXmbers have done in the past, not what we expect! Don't go getting a tattoo if you don't want one!) The Requirements (subject to change) Must want to be considered a Core Member. Must have been with mXm for no less than 2 years. Must be a member in good standing with all. The Process It's actually quite simple. If you meet the requirements above then it is up to you to notify the command staff (Clan Leaders / Officers / First Lady) that you would like to become a Core Member. Then a group consisting of the Clan Leaders and/or the First Lady as well as existing Core Members will discuss if they feel you show the qualities of an mXmber. Then one of two things will happen: If you do meet the criteria and show the qualities, then you'll be promoted and a post will be made notifying the community of the promotion! If you don't, you're request for promotion will be denied and you'll be told why. (We will not make a post to state you were denied publically and you can always reapply.) How To Apply? All you need to do is ensure you meet the requirements, and then notify either one of the Clan Leaders or the First Lady. You can do this via post, text message, phone call, in-game chat, PM. As publicly or as privately as you'd like.

Darn that small font :P Anyhow Props for the pushover and Kotako.com reference :) Thanks for stopping by, you kicked some ass with us on SOCOM the other day, I hope we can do it again so you can see that we're really not that bad haha.

Thanks for all your service Andy! It's been an awesome 6 years and we have many more to come. Also posted on SOCOM forums; http://forums.socom.com/t5/SOCOM-Clans-PS2-PS3/mXm-Promotes-Andy19-to-Core-Member/td-p/909390 Who Is Andy19? Back in 2004 Andy19 was a member of the [.:.] Omni-Tek Clan, the same clan I was recruited into days before the merge absorbed us both into mXm. Since then Andy has taken his spot amongst the clan as the resident Canadian. Through good and bad, ups and downs, he has remained loyal and true to the clan. He is always one of the first to re-register no matter how many times he is forced to do so. He has openly proclaimed that he is a lifer with us here at mXm. So it is with absolutely no hesitation that Balz and myself and I'm sure every other person who knows the history of this clan would consider Andy an mXmber to the Core. So it is with great pride and admiration that we promote Andy to the position of Core Member in hopes that he gains some recognition for his dedication and continues to contribute, share and play with us til the end.
