The first few minutes have been chopped off, forever lost, because Austin aka MrCHUPON is a complete idiotfool. We also delve into the philosophy of being awesome: such as February's NPD numbers and how expensive Aussie games are. In tragic news, the veteran who allegedly disappeared after playing a game of Call of Duty 4 was found dead. Also, the "Mortal Kombat" beating -- the one where the idiot kid beat his girlfriend's little sister to death using "martial arts" moves after playing Mortal Kombat -- may not have had much to do with Mortal Kombat after all, says some news article. Um, DUH? Woot, and stuff -- epic woot.

Mortal Kombat death maybe didn't have to do with Mortal Kombat much?
