Six pieces of underwear? At the same time?!? Imagine the chafing!!
Imagine a world where if you put the wrong underwear on, or put on too much underwear, the whole world would be invaded by part-machine, part-orc ("Cyborques") creatures from gods only know where. Well, that's the terrible fact that DeathSpank awoke to discover one morning after a brief stint of boredom. The Baconing follows Hothead Games' hilarious entries into the DeathSpank series of games (DeathSpank and DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue), catching up with a DeathSpank that's seriously in need of something to do after all that justice delivery he's been up to. Players are given the task, once again, of hacking and questing their way to the ultimate showdown with the Anti-Spank. Nothing could possibly go wrong...right?
SC2 Pro Interview with vileSpanishiwa
By Francisco FantlNow that MLG Raleigh (our video montage here, for those that missed it) has cooled down and MLG Orlando and Providence are coming up (where the hell is 'Providence,' anyway?), we had a chance to sit down and talk with vileSpanishiwa from the StarCraft 2 pro community, who is known for his Zerg strategies (and Ultralisks). Of course, we all know about STBomber's rise to power in Raleigh, but Spanishiwa has been a favorite of ours for months now -- he's a showman, and he's good at it. Below is a brief video interview, which is accompanied by an extended text interview. If you're interested in pro gaming, StarCraft, or going pro, check it out!
NVIDIA 3D Vision Review - 3D Gaming Analysis
By Steve Burke3D technology has been around for a long time, but has grown significantly over the years - of late, "3D ready TVs" and "3D movies" have become the latest buzz words, and public opinion seems to slant toward gimmicky and borderline useless. We're here to analyze the uses and pitfalls of nVidia's gaming version of 3D technology, which they've named 3D Vision (we've spoken about it before).

This article is meant to be one of the most in-depth analyses of 3D technology currently available on the web, so that means it's going to be comprehensive and, namely, long. Don't worry, though: we'll be able to convey the positives and the negatives to help your decision making. For your convenience, we've paginated the article into several sections. We've also summarized our opinions, so if you're short on time, start with that and go from there. There is also a TL;DR summary of each major paragraph at the end of the section, so check those out! Let's get to the question on everyone's mind:
His white sports jacket places him in the same category of 'the jocks' in high school, but we all see the scrawny StarTaleBomber as a StarCraft 2 professional icon. He's the new king of MLG Raleigh, dethroning last year's HuK, taking out SlayerSCoCa 4-1 in an extended series, followed by EG-Puma, and taking down every opponent he faced - including DonRaeGu in trollific fashion (2-0), giving his fans one of the most entertaining matches they could have ever hoped for. But where did Mr. "StarTaleBomber" come from? We all know he’s a Korean who favors Hellion heavy play and was brought here by the partnership agreement made between MLG and GomTV, (http://www.gomtv.net/2011gslsponsors3/news/65291) but what has he done to get this far? First thing's first: go watch our video montage for a brief overview of the weekend and Bomber's progression. The man did have some of the best trash talk, as well.
In the famous words of Randy Marsh: "You're gonna need a montage! (Montaaaaage!)!"
And he's right. MLG Raleigh 2011 consumed over 40 hours from each of our staff members' weekend, but it was entirely worth it. We covered every major match throughout the event via twitter and our site, but in effort to condense all of this information into something consumable by those of you who couldn't make it, enjoy this awesome video montage of MLG Raleigh 2011! It includes Bomber's rise to power, some of the biggest crowd reactions, and a smirking K[9] duo.
The Best Quotes from MLG Raleigh 2011
By Steve BurkeMajor League Gaming - Raleigh, 2011 was a massive success for e-sports and for the competitors involved; we were there for the entire weekend (a cumulative 40-odd hours), and heard all of the best StarCraft 2 quotes from the event. Enjoy the hilarious, frighteningly serious, and ambiguous statements from pro players below! If Bomber's trolling match wasn't enough, we've compiled a video montage of the weekend's progression.
Gladiatorial Showmanship from STBomber vs. DonRaeGu at MLG Raleigh
By Steve Burke
"Wait – why is he scanning so much? Maybe Bomber thinks DonRaeGu has epilepsy and he’s trying to give him a seizure!” In typical commentator style, Tasteless’ words flowed with such rapidity that they nearly went right by the crowd, but in the peak of the joke, the entire spectator crowd erupted in laughter. STBomber found himself playing against DRG in an epic Terran vs. Zerg semi-final battle on the main stage, and knowing full well that he sat in the favored seat, decided to put on a show of proportions equivalent to the Roman coliseum gladiatorial combats.

StarCraft 2 Winners Bracket Expectations - MLG Raleigh 2011
By Steve BurkeStarCraft 2 has been progressing with unbelievable intensity all weekend; when we wrote our Day 1 Synopsis, the overwhelming upsets and surprises of our favorite pros being annihilated by players who seemed unfit to compete against them challenged our analytical abilities. Yesterday, we were teased with future possibilities for MLG 2012, and today, GN staff is greatly looking forward to the winners bracket match-ups (and, of course, the losers bracket!) for StarCraft 2. Below is a list of the players competing in the matches, accompanied by our expectations for each match.

MLG Raleigh 2011 Teases with Plans for 2012!
By Francisco FantlMLG announces 2012 to be the year of innovation. During Friday’s late night State of the Game, Sundance DiGiovanni and Adam Apicella explained to the eager-but-extremely-tired public the plans for 2012.
Next year will be divided in 4 seasons for them: there will be one champion for each season and if the seasons get enough people, there will be one Grand Finale making someone the grand champion. Although instead of the championship format MLG currently has, they will change the format of qualifications making the players have to constantly earn their position in MLG and giving it a more baseball-feel to it. Fear not, though, for they will be giving away a bigger prize pool that will inevitably make online qualifiers, studio play, and LANs even more exciting and competitive than they currently are.
StarCraft 2 Day 1 Synopsis - MLG Raleigh 2011
By Francisco FantlA nuke?! Nobody nukes (successfully) at tournaments! MLG's first series of SC2 matches ran last night, so if you missed out on them, here's a quick synopsis of the events:
The first match of the evening was EGIdrA vs. STBomber; the games were played on Dual Sight and Metalopolis, with Bomber rising 2-0 by using early-to-mid game pushes and containments.
Second match of the evening: EGHuK vs. SlayerS_CoCa. SlayerS_CoCa convincingly took this match 2-0, hugging HuK after the final and most intense battle ended.
The third match was Dignitas.Naniwa vs. Fnatic.Rain. Fnatic.Rain took this match 2-1, and surprised the entire crowd with a nuke rush and EMP spread; Naniwa just barely fell short in the final battle when his forcefields negated the "nuclear launch detected" warning, allowing Rain's nuke rush to succeed and destroy what little remained of Naniwa's army. By far, this was the most explosive moment in the entire evening: the crowd erupted in "OOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!"s and shouted warnings in vain, for the sound-proof booths make it impossible to warn contendors.
