We Review: L.A. Noire

The world was a completely different place back in the late 1940s, and many things we take for granted did not exist: today’s gender and race equality ideals had not been born yet, and neither had the Internet. Man had yet to step on the moon, and the world was just freshly scarred from a global war. Rockstar Games’ L.A. Noire pulls us back through time to that era to find out what life was like with the LAPD. Did they do a good job? And is the game any good? Hit the jump to find out.

Naughty Bear is Mad, Seeks Bloody Revenge

Teddy bears are so cute and cuddly that you just want to pinch their cheeks. Naughty Bear hates that generalization, but do you know what he hates more? Not being invited to another bear’s birthday party. He’s so mad he could spit axe somebody.

Developed by Artificial Mind and Movement (they made WET), Naughty Bear is an upcoming open-world action-adventure title that has you playing as the shaggy psychopathic bear, trying to hurt the other adorable bears on Paradise Island, and earning “Naughty Points” along the way.

Have a look at the teasers after the jump.

Sibusiso Duma and The South African Crime Spree

What the what? 24-year old Sibusiso Duma has more than a few screws loose. News24.com reports that the man who is accused of six murders knocked down two of his victims and then reversed over them!

Duma is alleged to have kidnapped a 17-year-old girl, gang-raped her and repeatedly drove over her. If that wasn’t enough, he set her on fire. The woman was found in a cemetary and taken to hospital, she has since recovered.

Here’s the run-down of Duma’s crime spree:

  • Six murders
  • Four aggravated robberies
  • Four rapes
  • Two attempted murders
  • Three kidnappings

And get this – all these crimes were allegedly between September 9th and 24th, 2007! 16 days, 19 crimes – that must be a South African record!

His trial started yesterday in the Pietermaritzburg High Court and continues today.

A Volta: Isometric Madness

Nothing says violence quite like isometric violence. In the music video for their single “A Volta”,  N.A.S.A. teams up with a whole bunch of creatives to bring out a nightmarish city scape filled with corruption, narcotics, evil bosses, dodgy henchmen, prostitutes, and piles of cash. The tune’s very catchy and unsurprisingly the video contains strong language, simulated sex, and violence, lots of it. See it below or watch it in HD at YouTube.

NA.S.A. (short for North America South America) is a music collaboration project assembled by Squeak E. Clean and Ze Gonzales. The video is directed by Logan and inspired by the artwork  of the The Date Farmers. It features Sizzla, Amanda Blank & Love Foxxx.

See the making of video after the jump.

Psycho killer gouges out and devours his own eyeball!!

eyeball soup

So this is nice. Texan death row inmate Andre Thomas has ripped out his one working eye with his fingers and eaten it. Hopefully he had the good sense to perhaps sauté it in a little garlic and serve it on a bed of lemon-scented basmati rice (and not blue soup/toilet duck as in the above image). Andre is not inexperienced at this sort of thing – he ripped his other eyeball out some years ago. Anyway this whack-job has been moved to a nice cosy psychiatric facility where he probably won’t be able to disfigure his blind self any further.

Oh and FYI Andre was on death row for brutally murdering his wife, son and infant stepdaughter. Apparently he ripped their hearts out. Literally.

Light my fire

fire

Oh I love these kind of stories. As teenagers, my sister and I used to take great delight in combing magazines and newspapers (this was long before the interweb) for grotesque Agony Aunt columns and weird stories of sexual misadventure, revenge or jealousy that ended in disaster. You know the ones that go something like “woman bites off lover’s tongue in passionate embrace”, or “Dear Aunt Rhoda my girlfriend says she can’t love me anymore because I have genital warts”, that sort of thing. The whole Bobbitt episode kept us laughing for months. Well I’m not sure if I exactly love this particular story because someone actually dies, however it is morbidly fascinating nonetheless.

An Australian woman has been arrested and is going to be charged with murder after she doused her sleeping husband’s penis with something like metholated spirits and set it on fire. The unfortunate man allegedly woke up and knocked the bottle of meths over which helped the fire to spread rapidly from his privates to engulf the couple’s entire residence. As you may have guessed, Mr Crispy was cheating on his wife, and unluckily for him she found out and sought her fiery revenge. The fire starter has issued a statement saying that it was not her intention to kill her husband, all she wanted to do was claim his penis as hers only and forever by horribly disfiguring it!
