Trade in your Violent, Nasty Video Games and get FREE Ice Cream... Wut?

Marin County has announced that people can now have 2 choices and the second choice is just weird.
Well according senator of the county and Ben & Jerry's are joining forces to defeat the evil video games and to calm the angry gamers out there who are just trying to load up the next chapter in their video games.

This is suppose to reduce "Violence in Gamers" which I find very moronic because there has been studies showing that only poorly made games cause violence within gamers, not well constructed games.
Mario Kart 8 doesn't make me want to throw a turtle and my friends whilst driving a go kart.

Well, if you live in California and you've got the munchies for Ice Cream, then why not trade in that copy of Call of Duty and trade that sucker in.

So what do you guys think?
Is this a great idea or is this just going to be a faze that'll soon die out?

Thank you for reading,

PC Tech News - GTX 970 specs and designs released

After months of rumors, speculation and so on, third party companies such as Asus have shown off their new line of GTX 970 graphics cards which will feature 4GB of GDDR5 RAM which is actually new seeing how GTX X70 cards are usually running with 2GB since the GTX 500 series GPUs.

The news was announced on Wednesday when Asus and many other companies announced their line of GTX 970 graphics cards, this also falls in line with Nvidia's 24 hour event tomorrow which they are said to be releasing the new GTX 900 series tomorrow.

The new GPUs are using the brand new Maxwell Architecture which is updated from the older Maxwell architecture from the older GTX graphics cards.

This is very exciting news for PC builders and just hobbyists who enjoy building PCs because these new GPUs are to be sold for £300 to £500 and have the same horsepower of the R9 295x2 GPU which costs at around £1500 (But they could be clocked in lower than the R9 295x2).

Here are some images of the new GPUs:

(This card is the reference design card by EVGA)

So what do you guys think? 

Do you want to upgrade or leave the card until the price drops?

Breaking News!! UK release date for Project Cars announced and possible leak

Well, a day ago the Project Cars developer, Slightly Mad Studios, has confirmed the release date for their latest car simulation game to be released in November on the 21st. Now this is for the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game, however, on Amazon UK I discovered something odd, the PC version was said to be delayed as well as the Wii U version to 2015, however, Amazon UK has leaked them as to be released along side the PS4 and Xbox versions of the game.

This could mean that delay was just a minor set back that they have now fixed or this could be a mistake on Amazons behalf, I'll make sure to let you guys know if I get some more information from Slightly Mad Studios about this.

Breaking News?! Microsoft might be announcing a smaller version of either the Xbox One controller or the Console itself.

Recent, a store by the name of GAME has put up pre-orders for this new controller called the Xbox One Controller Mini:

(It also comes in Nuclear Puke Green)

This seems pretty out of the blue for Microsoft because if this was a third party controller from GAMEware (GAME's own accessories products) the logo would appear on the controller or it would show some signs of it being cheapen but this controller might be a fully licensed Xbox One controller from Microsoft themselves. Not much info was given on the store page but the release date is set for the 1st October 2014, this could mean Microsoft might announce a new Xbox One console that'll probably be more affordable for the consumers who can't afford either the 1TB model or the regular 500GB Model Xbox Ones. 

I'll try to reach Microsoft for some more info on this and see if this could mean the first next gen slim console this generation.

News News and more News

Okay here is News, News, and More News for you guys:

News #1
I will be pre-ordering the newer 3DS models from Japan and I'll be reviewing them in October for you guys as well, I might to a Google Hangout and you guys can ask me how the console is and whether or not you should buy it next year. Personally, I'd say that you should just wait for the New 3DS to come out in the West next year, but if you REALLY want one and take the risk then I'd say go for the import.

News #2
College is starting back soon and I might not be uploading news articles as much  so you'll probably see one or two new articles a week at best but hopefully I can get the work done quicker so you guys won't have to wait so long.

News #3
I have been blocked from playing that game "Depression Quest"... haven't got a clue why but I'll see if I can't download it again, it was probably a bug on my part on Steam that didn't allow me to download it. But be warned, I will be ranting and raving at this game because I played it before on my Brother's PC... it's not even a good book lets put it that way.

Thank you reading and I hope you all have a lovely day,

PAX Prime Time - GTA V Next Gen Release Date Reveal Prediction

I may not be going to PAX but I'm sure not gonna let that stop me because on todays... PAX PRIME TIME! We'll be talking about the possibility of GTA V on Next Gen and PC having it's release date announced at PAX Prime.

Well, will I was watching the Nintendo mini direct I got to thinking, "What if Rockstar finally announces the release date for GTA V this year on Next gen and PC?" and then I came up with a little prediction, since this is the first day of PAX will hear nothing about it but on the second day of PAX, Rockstar will announce something epic, something that will make every fanboy/fangirl cream themselves... and it'll be... the announcement of Leminings Reboot... just kidding, no, they'll announce GTA V will release in Early November (My bets on the release day being the 7th November) and it will come with the heist DLC and a new Zombie DLC which gives the game a second campaign mode like Red Dead Redemption.

This is only a little mini prediction but it could come true seeing how they've been quite for so long. So what do you guys think?
Do you think it'll be true or do you think it'll release next year.

Leave a comment down below, and thank you for reading.

Breaking Nintendo News! Nintendo has just announced 2 big bombs today...

And no you so called "Journalists" I don't mean those types of bombs, but they have just announced that the new Xenoblade series would be coming to 3DS and a another little surprise near then end of this article for you guys to throw your wallets at the screen or just go "Son of a pregnant dog!".

Today, Xenoblade was announced at PAX Prime for the 3DS and will be just as big as it's console counter part, the gameplay trailer will show you all the details that my moronic brain couldn't keep up with.

And no for the News that shocked me and many other Nintendo Fans... Nintendo has announced a brand NEW 3DS... that's the name... I'm not even joking the new 3DS is literally called NEW 3DS... And you thought the Xbox One was a silly name but this is just taking it a step further. The NEW 3DS will feature Dual Circular pads (The right one being smaller to fit on the device), four rear buttons (Yes, four instead of the traditional two), faster download speeds, NFC chip inside the touch screen and two sizes, XL and Regular. They'll release in Japan in 2014 - 10 - 11, a European and US release date is unknown but I'll make sure to cover it as soon as possible.

The videos were from GameXplain, great guys and they do a good job at reporting on Nintendo news so please go take a look at their channel:
