Sorry for the day of delay, I've been extremely busy, but now it's back, and will follow a Saturday cycle instead of Friday due to my inability to work on this during the weekdays. Now, this week we have again three major articles for your reading entertainment, enjoy! View attachment: WNW 42614.JPG E.T. On The Atari 2600 Dump Found in New Mexico The most infamously bad game of all time is arguably the E.T. Video Game on the Atari 2600 from 1982, which broke records with it's immense worldwide panning and reputation, enough to send millions of copies to alleged landfills in New Mexico. According to IGN.com, who was on the scene, these rumors are in fact true, and many copies of E.T., along with other Atari 2600 games that bombed in the sales department, are buried in a large landfill in Almagordo, New Mexico. The filmed documentary of the finding of these games will be released exclusively to Xbox One under Avengers Writer, Zak Penn. View attachment: AtariET.jpg What's your take on this news, and will you be watching the documentary when it launches on Xbox One? Let me know, thanks for reading! Gears of War on Xbox One Job Posting Listed on Microsoft's Website Since up and coming studio Black Tusk took over the Gears of War license, acquired from Epic Games by Microsoft, news has been slim on the new project, besides the confirmation of long-time Producer Rod Fergusson's work being done on the new project. On Microsoft-careers.com though, we have a job listing for a Senior Rendering Engineer for the project, requiring 7-8 years of experience in Video Game design, and 2-3 years of experience as a Senior Graphics Developer, and being able to work on two consoles. In the listing, they even include the Xbox 360 and PS3 as examples, leading to the possibility of it being on the Xbox 360 as well as the One. View attachment: GearsOfWar.jpg Would you want the next Gears of War on Xbox 360 as well as Xbox One, or could it harm the game's development? Discuss below! Halo 5 Possibly Teased In Escalation #8 Halo Escalation has been incredibly popular in it's sales, especially with the release of Issue 7 and it's dealing with the scenarios after Halo Wars, so now fans may experience the latest in Halo 5 news by reading Escalation #8. According to TotalXbox.com, the site for OXM, Halo Escalation Issue 8 will follow the plot of Master Chief's departure from the Infinity and what leads up to Halo on Xbox One. A blurb teases, “The Master Chief returns in “The Next 72 Hours: Part 1″! After defeating the Didact, John-117 joined the crew of Infinity . . . but why did he leave? The mystery begins here.” Issue 8 releases on July 23rd, quite a while after the events of E3 2014. View attachment: HaloEscalationBox.jpg Are you planning on picking up Issue 8 now that this info was revealed, or are you holding off for theorists to figure it out? Let us know in the comments below, thanks for the read. Thanks indeed for reading this issue of the Weekly News Wrap-Up, I'll see you next time!

While I can't do much concept-wise, I have incredible writing skill, if you need proof, while I have no professional awards, I can write whatever you would ask of me to. I know you're a "perfectionist" as you have said, but I believe my skill far exceeds most basic novelists and journalists in the American system. Feel free to PM with instructions or what you wish to.

According to recent reports, a Bioshock Movie may now be back in production after the cancellation debacle, having over 3 sites registered to the trademark by Sony Entertainment. The Bioshock Movie suffered a depressing downfall many months ago, when it's Director Gore Verbinski wished for the film to be rated R, but the studio fired back, and both sides clashed leading to Gore leaving the project and it becoming cancelled. Now it seems Sony may have taken the rights, according to Kotaku.com first, one article mentions three different sites being registered by Sony Entertainment themselves, bioshock-movie.com, bioshock-movie.net, and bio-shock.net. Though, knowing Sony, we might unfortunately only get the pre-promised PG-13 version of Bioshock The Movie. Concept arts were also revealed on Jim Martin's website many months back, showcasing what the R rated film would've looked like. View attachment: BioMovieConcept.png Does this news excite you, and will you take an interest in viewing the new Bioshock film even if it's only PG-13? Let me know below, thanks for the read!

I put it in a Spoiler Box to lessen the amount of words this post has, but to be honest, I can only assist in one aspect of your problem my friend. I have never in my life held a paying job, at least not yet, so I don't know how to fix your employment problems, especially since you're "overqualified" according to some outlets. As for your lady friend, don't move forward just yet, discuss with her the idea for a few weeks, tell her how you feel, but that you don't know if she'd be open to pursue something just yet. If she is open to it, then godspeed to you, if she isn't, wait it out and stay in contact with her, once you're financially stable, take her out and see where it goes.

Well known Actor and Writer Todd Stashwick, famous from his rumored work on the Star Wars game by Visceral Games, has been recast on Uncharted 4, following a recent slue of firings and quitting scenarios in Naughty Dog and on Uncharted. When fans received the Uncharted for PlayStation 4 trailer, one thing in particular stood out, it's narrator, Todd Stashwick. Todd had been rumored to be the antagonist on Uncharted on PS4 and according to IGN.com, this will no longer be the case as Naughty Dog chose to recast his role to someone else who is unknown at the moment. Todd said to them that, “They chose to recast my role,” and while they reached out to Sony for a response, none was given. This follows the perplexing trend of recent reports coming from Naughty Dog, like Amy Hennig and Justin Richmond's sudden exiting from the studio, or Nate Wells' recent employment in Sparrow Games. View attachment: UnchartedLogo.jpg Does this news have you concerned for the project, or do you hold out hope that the next Uncharted will be as high in production caliber as it's previous installments?

Bungie has come out and stated that despite controversy surrounding Marty O'Donnell's departure from the company, his music will remain in Destiny. We received quite the depressing surprise on April 14th when we had the news broken to us that our beloved composer Martin O'Donnell had been terminated by Bungie. In an interview with people at Eurogamer.net, Pete Parsons said that Marty's magnificent work on the project would remain in the game, and that fans shouldn't worry about the game's soundtrack or the game itself's features. He had said that the game was, "close to shipping" and that he believes "the Bungie fanbase is going to look forward to hearing Marty's music, Mike Salvatori's music, C. Paul's music and Paul McCartney's music in the game," acknowledging that while polish still needs to be done, most of the game is complete and in it's finished state, just needing a shiny coat of paint to top it off. View attachment: 2508271-destiny1.jpg While Marty's departure is melancholy news, most did fear it would impact the majority of their experience in the game. Now we know that isn't that case, but are you still as excited to play Destiny? Let me know below, thanks for reading! View full article

I needed to do this for my own sanity, word needs to get around about this case, and we need to support kids like this and show how corrupt our systems are and what we need to do about it. If stories about Bullying are uncomfortable to you, fine, but I encourage you to share this article with anyone you know, this needs to get out into public eye. Thank you for reading. I plead Moderators not to take this thread down, this is a story that needs to be seen and shared so things like this never happen. A Pennsylvania Sophomore student who had learning disabilities had for quite a while been receiving bullying and harassment by fellow students in his class. The boy had gone to teachers and his peers but oddly enough, nothing was done to the bullies, the case was not even looked at thoroughly. No charges were ever pressed, no talking to's, the issue seemed to slip under despite it being reported. The boy had found a way to prove it though, when he recorded a 7 minute long audio clip of the harassment, as well as confirmation of a teacher being on-hand and viewing the situation, but doing nothing about it. The bullies could be heard insulting and attacking the boy, as well as harming him physically with a hard book smacked over his head. When he recorded the physical and emotion toll, he brought it to his mother, whom was enraged and spoke to the principal. The story however continues when the principal calls police not on the bullies, but on the boy with Mental Disabilities, and pressed charges on only the boy for, "Wire-Tapping". The case was brought to court and the judge ruled in favor of the principal, the bullies still with no consequences and the abused boy now with charges on his head. The consequence however was lessened to just Disorderly Conduct from the Mentally Disabled boy. The bullies have since had no proper punishment and the boy and his mother now attempt to appeal the case. Please spread this story far and wide, and support the boy and his mother. Leave thoughts below, so long as they are civil, mature, and respectful. Thanks for reading.

Hi MVP, I understand that it has been two years since your banning and I understand that people do reform. However, depending on your previous actions, your time may vary from two weeks, to two years, to a full lifetime Shoutbox ban, it is not that you have no reformed, rather the system of rules in place needs to punish those who do wrong for the period they deserve. My suggestion is Messaging our Moderating team to speak to them rather then making this an open thread. If your sentence is up, there is no reason you would not be unbanned, however depending on the severity of the rule-breaking done, you may not be unbanned, which is unfortunate but it is the way the system works. I apologize for the inconvenience, would a moderator lock/delete this thread? Thanks. ~EK

Welcome, below is the first reincarnation of the Weekly News Wrap-up, for those who do not know, the WNW was originally done in the News Group but around 2013 it seemed to stop production, I have decided to reincarnate it in my own format, several articles meshed into one long piece, as the several might not have been able to stand on their own, or it could serve as an easier method of keeping up to date all around the gaming world, rather then just the huge highlights. These will resume next Friday and will run week-by-week on each Friday unless an issue is brought up, which will be highlighted to readers via notification so they are aware of the delay. Now let's get reading! View attachment: WNW 41714.JPG PlayStation 4 Sales Surpass 7 Million Units The Sony PlayStation 4 has been incredibly successful in the coming months of it's launch. Titles like Infamous: Second Son and Killzone: Shadow Fall have enticed players from multiple platforms to purchase a PS4 and get their fill of next generation gameplay there. On April 16th, on PlayStation's Blog at PlayStation.com, Sony's Social Media Manager Sid Shuman announced that the PlayStation 4 had surpassed the 7 Million unit mark. The mark was apparently reached April 6th, 2014 and yesterday it was massively surpassed, making a huge mark for the company and for the console itself. Sid also hinted at new software updates for the PlayStation 4 to be released soon which turned out to be 1.70 increasing share features. View attachment: playstation_4_logo_2.jpg What's your take on this? Is the revenue well deserved, and has your experience with the console (if you own it) been satisfactory? Leave your thoughts below! Titanfall: Expedition Downloadable Content Coming in May Respawn Entertainment's crown jewel, Titanfall, has received quite the positive feedback without countless perfect scores from credible outlets, but, it's publisher Electronic Arts has a habit of leaving games unfinished and releasing the cut parts as Paid DLC. That seems to be the case today, as on Titanfall.com, it was revealed that Titanfall is getting a new DLC next month, only at it's highest two months from the main game's launch, containing features that do in-fact seem to have been cut from the main game. It contains just three new maps, with later updates including features like Titan customization and Private Lobbies, all features that would have been possible to add in the main game and likely were planned to be added for free. It is priced at $9.99, or alternatively you may purchase the Season Pass getting all of the packs for a discount. View attachment: TitanfallExpeditionArtB.png Are you annoyed by this, or is it acceptable and are you purchasing the DLC considering it's rushed nature and barebones content for it's price? Let me know below! Civilization: Beyond Earth Announced Sid Meier's next new Civilization title has been announced, hailing to the days of Alpha Centuri. The game is called Civilization: Beyond Earth and was announced mainly on the official Civilization channel in a teaser, it will follow you expanding to another planet, while doing what a Civilization game does best, turn-based strategy. It's all very exciting detailing but aside from that 2K and Firaxis Games have been slim on the details for the game, and as for the possibility of it coming to Next Generation consoles, we're unsure. It is however confirmed for PC, and that will likely be where it is limited to. View attachment: Civilization-Beyond-Earth-1.jpg Are you a fan of the Civilization games and how do you feel about the new direction they are taking the games? Leave your thoughts on your approvals of the series below and tell me what you think! Thanks for reading the Weekly News Wrap-up's first Reincarnation, see you all next week, leave feedback below!
