PNG Daily 7/2/2009: No, We Are Not Bringing Them Back

Thursday’s original daily posts are in a bit of a flux at the moment, so you’ll have to deal with a more… traditional daily.  We’re not bringing that format back, but it definitely works in a bind.  Jim usually does the Thursday articles, but due to a new addition to his family in the form of a cute little baby boy, he can’t make it to the web right now.  Feel free to publicly send your congratulations to James.Bradford@PixelsandGrids.com

Now down to business.  Click for news about Fallout 3 discounted on Steam, Battlefield 1943’s release date, Dawn of War 2’s beta patch, TF2 tabletop RPG, and my irrational dislike of Michael Pachter.

PNG Daily 5/22/2009: T.G.I.F

On a long weekend and nice weekend, it’s hard for us to encourage you to stay in and play games, but that’s our job here at Pixels and Grids.  Valve has opened up the floodgates for a free weekend of Team Fortress 2.  If you haven’t tried this game out yet, you owe it to yourself to sap somebody’s sentries and fling jars of “Jarate”.  This is just in time to celebrate the new Spy vs Sniper update.  So fire up steam after grabbing a burger or dog from the grill and get your game on this weekend PNG’ers.

PNG Daily 5/12/2009: Oh, And Here I thought Meteors Did It

A slow news day nets you a clever photoshop.  See what I did there?  Valve just announced the Huntsman’s Longbow as part of the upcoming Sniper update for Team Fortress 2.  This weapon will apparently allow you to pin your enemies to a wall (hopefully like the stake gun from Painkiller) and will automatically critical with a head shot.  They go on to explain that if you don’t like the bow as a new weapon, you can ask the dinosaurs how awesome bows were… except you can’t because they’re extinct due to these lethal weapons.  Well played Gabe Newell, well played indeed.

If you like Lord of the Rings Online and free stuff, boy does Turbine have a deal for you!  They want to test the performance of their new hardware and will be giving away new video cards, processor and memory combos, signed copies of LotRO, and 60 gig solid state hard drives just for playing their game for two hours on May 14th.  You might even get away with doing it on a trial account.    Check out the time and details at the link.

I know Jim put up a gameplay trailer for Plants Vs. Zombies on friday, but he neglected to put up the most rediculously awesome music video for the game up.  It’s after the break and if you happen to get addicted to listening to it, e-mail complaints to Jeff.Siefer@pixelsandgrids.com.  He did this to me!
