Party to save the world 01 Oct, 2009 / Comments: 11

Wooo! Party to save the world! Hey, guys! Awesome party today, so cool it puts the "hip" in "hippie".

"But what are we celebrating?" you say. Why, the release of the Brutal Legend demo! Get out your consoles* and then steal your neighbour's, because - oh man. Listen. We're partying it up for Brutal Legend and all, but also because, well - there's this fire beast that says it'll hit us with the swine flu if we don't download the demo 666 million times. Much like the hippies not saving the world at that Woodstock place mum and dad are always talking about, we're going to try to do this and probably fail too. I mean, Tim Schafer tried arguing with it, explaining that there aren't 666 million consoles in the world (and if we fail there won't be that many humans), but it did put quite a lot of capitals in there, which on the internet means the ARGUMENT IS OVER.

Lots of stuff to do at the party, though. Twitter interviews, live axe lessons, a message from Tim Schafer in his bunker bed. It all goes down in this many hours.

Oh, and hey: Brutal Legend set a new record. After last summer's "Most number of people air guitaring", some fans somehow more insane than I am did this, which they're going to need to escape the city after we're all hit with the swine flu and it all turns into a George Romero movie with a metal soundtrack.

*(Except you, Wii; do you like your non-HD support now? Huh? Huh? Do you even know what MP3 is?)

    Game looks awsome. Too bad it also comes out the same day as Uncharted 2. Guess which one is probably going to sell better?

    I get paid right before it comes out, but can only afford one game. While I want to be awsome enough to get Brutal Legend, I havent played it enough to know its more awsome than Uncharted.

    The first Uncharted is the only game I have played in years that I sat down and beat in one play session, and loved every part of it.

    I will own Brutal Legend, but it wont be till the next payday...I'm sorry Tim.

    MP3 = Metroid Prime 3? I'm right, right?

    Maybe. Probably. Three...pence?

    You might be right.

    "Hip" and "hippie" isn't a coincidence you know... And this demo is for Gold members only, in the UK at least. Silver members can probably pick it up in 7 days.

    It's...available today, worldwide.

    Kroms knows.

    Wasn't he always like this?

    Yeah, but it seems like he's getting crazier by the day.
