Extra Life=Awesome Sauce
The folks over at Sarcastic Gamer have been doing something pretty sweet the last few years. Instead of saving Princess Peach they save kids. They call it Extra Lifeand it’s a 24 hour gaming marathon. They’re in the middle of the third Extra Life event right now. As I type this they’re halfway through the 24 hours and have $203,618. ALL of this money will be going straight to the Children’s Miracle Network to help save sick kids. Do you want to be forever on my awesome list? Go and donate, even if you donate a $1. The more money the better. Also, If you visit that link, at the top of the site you’ll see an up to the second amount of money they sold so far. Thank you so much Extra Life supporters!
Win a Hummer!
Posted by Kiki Lewis in Contests, I thought this was cool, PAX, Xbox on August 23, 2010
Well, okay, maybe not a full size one.. and definitely not one of the type you nasty minded peeps were thinking of, but something just as cool!
Built by Chris “Omega” Ruble from Gamer-Grafix.com, the Xbox 360 has been modified to resemble a modern day military humvee, and was inspired by Fun For Our Troops.
The Xbox 360, enclosed within the Hummer’s shell, is entirely functional and features its own built in monitor, as well as a 250 GB Hard Drive. Chris has fused his passion for supporting the troops with his love of art and video gaming to shape one of his most impressive pieces of work to date.

Halo fans, rejoice with me in celebrating all the awesomeness that Bungie released today!

- All features of the New Xbox 360 (250 GB HDD, built-in Wi-fi, etc.)
- Limited Edition Reach themed wireless controllers
- Standard Edition of Halo: Reach
If you want to check out some hi-res images of the Reach console, head over to Major Nelsons’s flickr account and check them out. Hawtness, for sure!
Now, me introduce to you Forge World. Remember when Bungie revealed Blood Gulch and “outside the canyon”? Well, you probably weren’t expecting to go this far out of the canyon. Forge 2.0 is without a doubt, the most badass feature that any developer has come up with for the 360.

CosPlay at TGS 2009
Posted by Kiki Lewis in Conventions, I thought this was cool on September 28, 2009
One of my favorite things about the Tokyo Game Show is all the pictures from the cos-play. After rifling through a bunch of pics it looks like this year didn’t disapoint! Dude, think of how many hours were put into finding that perfect pose and how many posing jam sessions there were. Check out some of the pics at these sites:
Picture: Kotaku - CosPlay
Picture: Joystiq - CosPlay
Also, it appears there are written rules when taking pics of the cos players. One of the rules is just normal comon sense if you are not socially inept, asking permission.
- “Photography or filming near the ailes is prohibited.”
- “You must obtain persmission from the subject(s) before taking photographs or filming. Also, all photography and filming must be done with a wall in the background so as to avoid including other people in your shots.”
- “You will be asked to stop taking photographs or filming if staff judges it is causing inconvenience to others.”
Fun at the ODST event!
Posted by Kiki Lewis in A Slice of Us, Events, I thought this was cool on September 22, 2009
Just a few quick pics of the ODST event in Seattle at the EMP. Crazy Echo covered the line and event, I am covering the cool peeps I hung with! 
On a side note. I love my G1! It is so easy to snap pics with it (except in the dark) and the pics don’t come out too bad either!
Second half of the line
The world famous Knuckles Dawson! He is pointing at someone.. who is in the next pic!
It is Laird.. loving his helmet (which he corrected me on after I called it a hat, oops!)
Chloe (PMS Kitty) looking cute while Yesenia, Knuckles, and Joe hang out in the background.
Drea (PinkSage) posing for the camera with Joe and Knuckles in the background again!
I caught Avery (the4v3ry) as he snuck in the side door. That sneaky bugger!
A cool shot of the giant screen behind where the competition was going on.
