Just like in those craaazzy adverts!

Two weeks ago I bought some 30 odd Portal video game buttons from a man named Sleven11; he runs a shop selling different assortments of items including: badges and vectored images.

Gears of War 2 was leaked nearly 1 month before the game’s intended release along with Fable 2, Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Call of Duty: World At War, Mirrors Edge and Need For Speed: Undercover…which swiftly brings me to how lots of happy pirates got themselfs into a bit of a pickle.

Yesterday I was reading Twitter and Shawn Elliot posted a link to an epic thread that contained this:

Now clocking over 3.6 million page views and 76 pages worth of posts, this was one craaaazzzy thread, if only GFW radio was still around with Shawn and Jeff, maybe I would have heard it the following week in a classy re-enactment.
