There's a new comedy coming to FOX sometime in 2011, and it's about time H. John Benjamin was on a show, as the main character. Granted, coach mcguirk (voiced by H. John Benjamin) on homemovies was a main character, but this is a MAIN CHARACTER. Home movies was one of my favorite shows, largely in part because of mcguirk. I won't explain why. If you haven't seen the show, you need to go over to Amazon.com, or Newegg.com, and pick up the Dvd's. Those are the cheapest places to get them. Even cheaper than wal-mart.

This new show is called "Bob's Burgers", and there hasn't been a whole lot said about it, so far. Apparently, it's about a family that owns a burger joint. The producers and writers are all veterans from family guy, king of the hill, home movies, and the like.  I can only imagine if you like those shows, you will like Bob's Burgers. I'm definitely looking forward to it.

So it appears that the PS3 has finally been cracked, with homebrew being able to be run, and copied games being able to be played......even online.

Here is a youtube video I found on the subject. This is very new, as the PS3 went publicly unhacked since its release. I say publicly because it's very likely that undereground hacks have cracked the PS3 long ago. These are the same guys who don't talk about it though, and who simply use it for themselves and close ones.

I say "even" because we all know that the PS3 is known for pop-ins, and an overall lower quality visual gaming experience, with alot of crossplatform games. Not every game, but alot of games. Well, according to ign, Rage looks beautiful on every platform, with the PC looking the best, of course.

They admitted it was running on a beast of a PC, so of course, it's going to look and run the best, but both the xbox 360 and the PS3 were running it at a steady 60 frames per second, with hardly any slowdown. This is really something, being this is only the DEMO, and the full game doesn't even launch for another 8 months, at this point. If you didn't know, Rage is the new game from the fathers of first person shooters, ID software. They made Doom, so they know a little about FPS.

Rage looks awesome, and it was one of the best showings at E3 this year. Keep a lookout for this one.

I downloaded the demo of Mafia II from xbox live, and while very, very short, it looks promising. It's definately worth a download, while waiting for the release on the 24th.

The demo puts you and a buddy in multiple shootouts, with you having to drive a wounded comrade to the hospital, only to be cutoff by the cops. The demo ends here.

The world looks pretty great (depending on your setup, of course) and the animations/deaths/gunfights felt very solid. The cover system seemed to work well, and reminds you of the newly classic, "duck behind something, then have the ability to walk around behind it, peek out, fire from cover, etc.)

I lit up a car with an MG from a windowsill, and the explosion was very satisfying. This looks like a buy, for sure.

I've seen a bunch of walkthroughs saying you need at least a $1000 bounty or a $5000 bounty, to trigger this achievement. All i can say is, not true. Here's what you do, if you haven't gotten this achievement.

Head over to butter bridge, south east of macfarlanes ranch. Now butter bridge is a north/south connection, so you'll have to have Mexico open, for this to work. Now, you need to get your bounty up a few hundred dollars, north of butter bridge, then book it, heading south, over this bridge.

You of course need to be riding the hungarian half-bred for this to trigger, as well. The first time I had a bounty of $300 and the second, it was $525. It seems you just need to be heading south, running from the marshall, and this is a great place to do that.
