10 - Animal Crossing. Jared hasn't played Animal Crossing in a long time. So long that there are weeds everywhere. It's been 640 weeks! Shaking trees can get the player rewards, like money or furniture, but sometimes - beeeess. Day ruined. You look stupid once they sting you, and the other villagers make fun of how ugly you look and how stupid you are for messing with bees.

9 - Hydlide. Jared hates this game. You need to touch the trees in order to get what you need to finish the game. But touching the wrong one and BEEESSSS! They do so much damage, and can be found right at the start of the game. You're dead. By bees.

8 - Mario Paint. Jared spent a lot of time playing this as a kid. The bees in Gnat Attack don't sting you, they release more smaller bees that are so small you can't squat them. They are bees right? They look like them.

7 - Buck Bumble. Buck Bumble is a cyborg bee who shoots lasers. How do bees become cyborg bees? Chemicals from the chemical plant. The best thing about Buck Bumble is the theme song. It's stupid and catchy and Jared loves it. Also, bee soccer is a thing.

6 - Earthbound. Jared didn't get into this as much as everyone else did. There's one party member who deals utter devestation with every move. Buzz Buzz - a bee from the future is so powerful that random encounters vanish. To anyone that says he's an alien, listen to what he says - "A bee I am, not". Oh. Shaddup!

5 - Super Mario Galaxy. Bee Mario is not a bee. He is a man in a bee suit. The gigantic Queen Bee, who has been put into Mario Kart 7 makes the list. Collecting the star pieces off of here makes Jared uncomfortable.

4 - Donkey Kong Country 2. This game loves its bees. The bee boss, King Zing Sting is better than the bee boss in Donkey Kong Country 1. The player plays as Squawks, and coughs up large coconuts onto the King's butt sword. He's terrifying because it explodes into more bees!

3 - Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Link can harness the power of the bees with a net and a jar. The bee will murder any enemy around Link before flying off, so he's not on this list. Instead, the Good Bee makes it because it is stronger and much more likely to stay by your side.

2 - Metal Gear Solid 3. You can use beehives to your advantage. Fighting Ocelot? Some bees will help. Even soldiers will run in fear of the bees. The Pain also uses bees as his weapon of choice. What can bees be used for? A bee wall to prevent enemies from escaping, bee snare, bee armor, or make a bee clone to confuse enemies. Then there is the ultimate attack - bee bullets that quickly drain your life. And they're still alive when they are inside Snake!

1 - Bioshock. Did he just shoot bees out of his hand!? How cool is that!? This was Jared's favorite weapon in the game, even in boss fights. In the sequel, you could turn corpses into bee bombs. Bioshock will always be known as that one game with that bee power - except for that one with the birds that wasn't as cool.

new ps4 mandated to be fully compatible according to rumors. no "project neo" (lol) only games allowed.
games to ship with 2 sets of display settings. probably gonna not be worth it for a while unless you have a 4k tv or have to have a stable 30 fps (cause i bet you aren't going to get 60 on there in most AAA games when devs can just make it prettier and smoother and call it a day considering both units are going to be in the same mp matches and that would lead to much whining im sure)

otoh it's rumored to be $399 so if you're waiting on a ps4 maybe just get that one when it's out. or maybe original ps4 will get a price drop

either way it sounds like N64 Expansion Pack for Playstation

I said i thought it was tone def. even though i think the boss is just using to justify all the horrors the rikers do. Its more that gamesradar is doing it, I expect it from the verge or polygon/killscreen/vice/gawker. I go to gameradar for bland news and maybe some leaks and reviews. Not wannabee media criticism. The article makes it out that every enemies in the game is some misunderstood innocent that is totaly unarmed and that you then ruthlessly execute. I can easily understand people critisims about the "rioters" but really the rikers. they are all armed and shooting at you or other people.
Everyone should do it. More often.

I mean the only thing that sets The Division apart from a thousand other other coop cover shootmans is the hackneyed and tone deaf ripped from the headlines sociopolitical content. It's good that people are noticing that.

Plus you know they probably didn't get that far in the game before they had to get their original review out, so here it is in a follow up.

Nah this makes perfect sense given that consumerism is all about the desire and anticipation and acquisition of consumer goods, not the actual use thereof.

So I fired up The Division a few minutes ago and was killed instantly. I figured it was a glitch. Not so, apparently you can hide in the scenery somehow and noaim shoot people. I went to ubisoftd forums to see if there was problems.

I could've sworn a codec or the pain referred to them as hornets. If they are bees that's hosed up because bees lose their stingers and die.

Also hornets are cooler because they're the closest of all hymenoptera formicidae to their rad ancestors.
