Hello! It's a me, Bob...io. Anyway, I'm here to give you the daily news for TODAY!
In Today's News........
The ash from the volcanic eruption in Iceland is still affecting it's residents. People cannot get in or out of Iceland by plane, though some test flights have given the plane no damage. They hope to bring 7 more planes back to Amsterdam, though without any passengers.
Normally, you go for the gold. However, you should go for the cold when it comes to laundry washes. It saves money from your electrical bill! However, it won't wash your clothes as well as heated or warm water. On the plus side, LG has created a washing machine that fixes that problem.
Sonic 4 was previewed a few weeks back on IGN, who said that "it's better than we ever remember Sonic being." Sounds good, but they also said that "We've been here before, of course, and it's not the first time that a Sonic game has wowed at first glance only to disappoint further down the line.", which is true, of course, with titles like Sonic Unleashed(which was good, but not as good as we were hoping it to be, but still, pretty fun), or Sonic 06.
Also, the Sonic 4 section on Sega of America has less viewers than before, though still pretty high. It was originally from the high 40s into the high 20s, which is still a lot. However, it might come back up when the next update on Sonic 4 appears. There are still a lot of odd topics in there, like if Silver is in Sonic 4, or complaints about how Eggman's name is Robotnik or Eggman. Still, there's some good topics, like a Level Editor idea.
That's all for now! Thank you for reading Today's News! This is Bob, your to-go guy for news and eggrolls!
Have a good night!

LBP2 is fake I go to the site and Mm themselves keep saying there is just a update coming out with new levels compatible with the Playstation Move
And they would never make LBP2 because then all the money people spent on DLC would be outdated, Mm said they are just gonna keep releasing updates than making a brand new game

Hey all you people! Hey all you people! Why don't we talk about the news and not jellyyyyy?
Er, ahem. Excuse me- it's me again, Bob, your daily newsman! With this day's scoop of TODAY'S NEWS!
Let's start things off with some news from Screwattack!
Today, the awesome news reporter Daily Destin, talked about how Bionic Commando 2 and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was to be released(And when he heard Marvel vs. Capcom 3 coming out, he did something you DON'T WANT TO KNOW.), a Splinter Cell: Conviction marketing campaign gone wrong, and how "Microsoft's accused of child labor".
- This week for the Wii's Virtual Console, Megaman 4 comes out, and returns the classic charge shot in the same game that it was introduced, which was taken off from Megaman 9 and 10. In this game, Megaman must fight against Dr. Mikhail Cossack's robots! Also out is the WiiWare title Bang Attack; both are for $5, or 500 Wii Points.
For the DSi this week there is the postcard sending simulation, myPostcards, some games for the Game & Watch series all in a pack: "Donkey Kong Jr., Flagman, and Ball." Both for $2 or 200 DSi Points each. There is also the game On DSiWare, [in which] Electronic Arts is offering Surviving High School for 800 DSi points ($."
- Ubisoft is now eco- friendly, starting with the new game Shaun White Skateboarding. It will introduce digital game manuals instead of the usual paper game manuals.
- Red Dead Redemption, the spiritual successor to Red Dead Revolver, is now having difficulty levels into the mix. It stars a outlaw who has to beat down or capture other outlaws or else "his family will pay the price". It's a sandbox styled game and stars in the 1900s, and uses the Grand Theft Auto IV engine. Looks like it has a western theme.
The game will come out in May, as will Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, Alan Wake, and Super Mario Galaxy 2!
- Speaking of Grand Theft Auto, there is the "Grand Theft Octo". He stole a man's camera while he was going underwater, but the man managed to get it back.
- For those of you interested in the Agatha Christie books or anything about, there is a broadway show in 2011: "The Agatha Christie BBC Murders comprises four lost Agatha Christie radio plays: "Butter in a Lordly Dish," "Three Blind Mice" (a short radio play on which The Mousetrap was based), "Personal Call" and "Yellow Iris"; the latter features seven musical numbers penned by Tony winner Rupert Holmes. These radio plays debuted at the 2009 International Mystery Writers' Festival in Owensboro, KY."
Well, that's all I have for today, folks! See you next time, and have a good night!
P.S. Make sure to eat your veggies!...Uhh....They're rich...in calcium.

Hello everyone, this is SonicFanPS2, your substitute host of the topic, TODAY'S News! Bob is currently pre-occupied in the, er, men's restroom. He ate the legendary chef Rholl Ogo Noba's 100- year old spicy noodles, and let's just say it didn't turn out too well for his stomach....
Anyway, let's start!
After finishing his role on Fringe, Leonard Nimoy, the man who played Spock, is not going to appear in Star Trek 2. Instead, he is going to retire. Thank you for all those years of acting, Mr. Nimoy, and have continue a good life.
- More characters have been known to be in Batman: Arkham Asylum 2, like Mr.Freeze, Talia al Ghul, and Two-Face. Looks like quite the awesome villain cast, there. I hope this'll be good, since the first one was awesome.
- Norway's top-selling WiiWare titles today are pretty funny. Muscle March was the top title, and Pokemon Rumble was the second. Yep. Norway is awesome.
- Thirsty? Well, you can now have Dr. Pepper when playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2, thanks to the EA- Dr. Pepper deal! Ahh, I can feel the taste of the soda through the gaming controller......*slurp*
It's like how Chuck is promoting Subway!
Anyway, it'll come with the new DLC pack, which includes some new achievements and awards, while the Dr. Pepper Kit will bring in some new equipment. Thank you, Dr.Pepper!
The price?: "Outside the U.S., EA said the Kit Upgrade DLC will be available on Xbox Live for 160 Microsoft Points per kit or 440 points for the entire pack."
- You know the volcano in Iceland that erupted? Well, the name for the volcano is pretty hard to say. Several news reporters have tried speaking the name, but to no avail. It was thanks to Al Roker who saved the day!
And, as I've just found out, the airports in Iceland have started working again!
Well, that's all for now! Good-bye, and good evening! This was your sub-host of the day, SonicFanPS2! I need to go now because Bob is getting out of the toilet, and he didn't know I was doing this!
....D'aaaw. What the heck. I'll stay for one last song, as celebration for Iceland's resumed flights.
WE CAN NOW BELIEVE WE CAN FLY! WE CAN NOW BELIEVE WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY! AND NOW WE CAN BELIEVE IN THE CHICKEN WINGS! THAT WE GOT AT BURGER KING! WE BELIEVE WE CAN SOAR! SOMETHING ABOUT A DOOR! WE BELIEVE WE CAN FLY!
Well, good night, everyone! And that one bit about chicken wings put Bob right back into the bathroom, heheheheheheh.

Hello, everyone! It's me, Bob, your usual news reporter for TODAY'S News!
Let's begin!
Some more Super Mario Galaxy 2 info is out today, and it's shaping up to be a great game! With some cool new updates like Hint TV, something similar to the help system used in Super Mario Bros. Wii I presume, and the final power up- CLOUD MARIO(FUSION OF CLOUD STRIFE AND MARIO?!?!?!?)!
I never thought I would say this, but....DOUBLE THE WEBSITES=DOUBLE THE PWNAGE.
- Iron-Man 2's demo was previewed hands-on by IGN, and the author of the previewed game review said this: "At this point, I don't see Iron Man 2 being an amazing superhero title thanks to its weak visuals and little issues, but I think it has a chance at being a fun title for folks looking to explore that universe a bit more." Looks like Iron Man 2 will be a fun game.
- As with Iron Man 2, IGN also reviewed Halo: Reach's Beta. They've done TONS of new things to the multiplayer, and they all sound fun! Though, it looks like there's some problems, but....: "And because it's a work in progress, some of the things I've outlined here will likely change. A lot." Let's hope for the best.
Bungie also believes that the multiplayer population for Halo: Reach Beta will "reach" 3,000,000 people!: "My expectation is it could be upwards of 3 million people," Jarrard told the Times. "I think that's a fairly conservative estimate. Certainly there will never be a console beta of this magnitude."
- In other news, the new DLC content for Left 4 Dead 2 will come out tomorrow(YES!)! It'll have some new content, bond L4D 1 with L4D 2, and some of the developers will play online tomorrow! DOUBLE YES!
- After the release of Yakuza 3, there's a development project for Yakuza for the PSP! It's titled "Project K". Destructoid had more to say on the matter: "This "Project K" is set in present day Japan, and you'll play as a new character (and not Kazuma) in a hoodie who is 18-years-old. He looks like a bad a. The game will be fully voiced and will be presented in graphic novel style instead of movies." Sounds good, but: "As for the game play, it sounds like we'll get the same old fighting system. I'm honestly kind of tired of it, but we all know the Yakuza games are more about the exploration and story anyway."
- After reading Gamespot's new article, Street Fighter fans will have some fun with the upcoming Super Street Fighter 4, as Capcom's recent press event stated, it'll have some new modes for play, like Two on Two vs. matches, or even Four on Four! The event reporter, the producer of Street Fighter 4, Yoshinori Ono, also described what Street Fighter 4 owners will get at a bonus: "Finally, Ono took the wraps off the perk original Street Fighter IV owners get for picking up Super Street Fighter IV: two unique graphical filters for your character. If you have saved data from Street Fighter IV, the filters will show up in your costume selection. The first is a pencil shader that adds cross hatching to your fighter's model. The second is an ink shader that adds an ink wash. The effects are cool but seem a little thin as perks go. "
- Blizzard Entertainment did a quick sweep on both WoW and Diablo today: "Warcraft and Diablo cheaters likely find themselves unable to log-on today. In a digital spring cleaning of epic proportions, Blizzard announced it has banned more than 320,000 players for "abuse of unintended mechanics and/or use of third party programs." Whew. That's quite a lot of bans. But they did have an explanation: "'These types of activities can severely impact the stability of our servers, and we'll continue to aggressively monitor Battle.net in order to protect the service and its players from the harmful effects of cheating.'"
- Now, to news in reality: apparently, the volcano in Iceland(eighyafhahlahokull, or Eyjafjallajökull), while puffing up ash, has been striking lightning? And there is a scientific explanation on this, as there is apparently there's 3 types of lightning strikes, and it's due to "particles either colliding, or sliding against each other". Sounds interesting.
Well, that's all for now, everyone! See you next time, on TODAY'S News! This is your news reporter, Bob, going live, and saying good night!
P.S. I'm sure some of you are wondering what happened to SonicFanPS2......you DON'T want to know.....all you need to know is that he's in a small cubicle of a room, and was "attacked" with spicy noodles......MUHUHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hello, everybody! Welcome to TODAY'S News, and this is Bob, your usual news reporter! First, on the matter:
Update: SonicFanPS2 was given a laxative while "happily" eating the spicy noodles. Unfortunately, he'll be in the Bathroom for some time. POlice are trying to find out who did this to him. All they found was a news camera and a tape of him singing the hit single "I BELIEVE CAN FLY" in celebration of Iceland's aBility to fly again. After the song, 2 days later, you can hear a struggle off camera and afterwarDs, the sound of somethIng being slurpeD. THIS is presumed to be the noodles. After the slurping sound, you can hear someone laugh Maniacally. The police have searched, but to no avail. How sonicfanpstwo's fate will be is Unknown. tHis is dUe to tHe fact thAt He hAd eaten some pretty darn bad noodles.
......Aw, poor SonicFanPS2.
Anyway, let's start the news!
IGN reviewed Kane & Lynch 2's demo today, and "it's a promising start" for the game.
- On Screwattack, some new clips on their Shows: One adding the Splinter Cell: Conviction goggles to the armory, and a fan film trailer for Mega Man that is coming out soon!
Also, the Mega Man Fan Film comes out on May 7th, the same day that Iron Man 2 comes out in the U.S.! On Australia and the United Kingdom, Iron Man 2 comes out on April 29th and April 30th, respectively!
- It's possible that the titles Metroid: Other M and Sin and Punishment have been moved to a later date, a Gamespy article says.
- Rockstar games is going to make a movie along with its new game, Red Dead Redemption! Now, it's not a live-action film; rather, it's going to be a movie that uses the Grand Theft Auto IV engine. So instead of Chuck Norris, please think of polygons!
- Hideo Kojima is working a new project, an article in Destructoid says. He tweeted: "I walked around the area where the 'Confidential Project' is taking place. All of a sudden I realized something fell through the cracks. Going back to my office to brainstorm. I want to think of an idea that would be an industry first.", which can also be found in the Destructoid article. And he's still working on Peace Walker!
- Some new characters have been confirmed today for the new Transformers: War for Cybertron: good ol' Ironhide for the Autobots, and Skywarp for the Decepticons!
- By the way, Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing is out today! It brings the survivors from the first and second Left 4 Dead together! And to celebrate, the developers are going to be on today! They'll be on from 7 PM to 11 PM (in PDT time) for Xbox Live! They're on PC from 11 AM to 5 PM PDT time, which is probably something like 2 PM right now, so hurry!
- The volcano eruption in Iceland affected the flight travel, and that's also affected the world. It has affected some places and celebrities, as well(Like Metallica).
Well, that's all I have for today, everybody! Enjoy your day! This was Bob, with TODAY'S News!
Also, HAPPY EARTH DAY!
P.S. Please, throw your trash away in the proper receptacle. It will help the environment, and you can feel good about your self and proudly proclaim, "I DID A GOOD THING, TODAY!" while your mother is chiding you for throwing the trash in the car, and not the trash can. For those who did that, nice job. Your car will smell, and you didn't put it in the right receptacle. And now your pet cat will try to grab for that fish bone in the bag! Again, you did awesome.

Hey, all! It's me, SonicFanPS2, your substitute news reporter out of the bathroom(though with really bad chaffing)!
Sorry about yesterday, something happened. Bob was arrested. Yep. Bob. He'll be in jail for the next couple of weeks due to the fact that he force-fed me spicy noodles that were 100 years old and then went mad, going rampant through the city trying to give everyone else the same spicy noodles. It took 300 of the military's finest soldiers to stop him. In order to prevent any more of these "accidents", I've been told to throw the rest of our stack of 100 year old spicy noodles into the trash. We're sorry, Chef Rholl. We still have your 1000 year old goat though!
Anyway, let's start it up!
For TODAY'S News:
TODAY is the day. The day that Screwattack unleashes its Clip of the Week. This week, the clip was based on an ad about "Real Men of DANCING". And so, they made a spoof: "Real Men of GAMING". Yep. When you have Lv 80 tanks in an MMO, or play Madden and Halo, you're a real man of GAMING......
- It's possible that tornadoes could rampage through the southeast of the U.S.(around states like Mississippi or Arizona), and that they could cause some serious damage. It will be dangerous and severe. So be careful. I wish those in the area the best of luck.
- Lastly, here's some reviews of some interesting games if you guys want to read them in your spare time. Next to the links are the review scores for the games. Note: The reviews are from 4/23 or below(Not that far, though) as well for 2 reasons: It's early in the morning(I'll try to add more as the day goes along!), and to make up for yesterday. Still, though, they are quite interesting titles.
Well, that's all for today, everyone! I might try to add more news as the day goes along, so be sure to check back! This is SonicFanPS2 with TODAY'S News!
P.S. Please, as a word from our sponsors(we have none), please, eat broccoli. It may be green and mushy at times, but it's good for you. And your heart will thank you, as it uses the green sword of power to shield you from heart disease...and stuff. Yeah.......catch you on the non-heart disease flipped donkey onion cow side(Randomness attack!)!!

Let's end this with a bang. In 3.....2......1. (Cue the music!)

Hello, hello! This is SonicFanPS2, with TODAY'S News!
On Today's Agenda:
Maybe the hugest news on gaming today is the video game law that is being read over. The law consisted of prohibiting the sale of games involving violence to people under 18. Arnold Swarzenegger(THE TERMINATOR! Hasta la Vista, baby.) had originally signed the law around mid-2000s, but it was blocked before it could work.
- Apparently, Super Mario Galaxy 2 will continue to do the co-op exactly as it did in the first game, except with some new improvements. This time, instead of a little pointer star, you not only get to absorb and shoot stars at things, you are now a Luma, who can now sorta attack better and get coins.
- On Screwattack, some new videos have been added today! We've got Perfect Dark being put into the video game vault; a very good title. And, we've got Hard News! On the news: Splinter Cell Conviction will not be on the PS3 right now(Which is refuted by that one man), gambling on Super Street Fighter IV, and a short movie of Halo: Reach! Pretty good news today.
- The tornadoes had taken a strike at the south-eastern states of the U.S., and with horrible repercussions. A couple who were planning to marry had nothing left. A man managed to stay alive under a communion table in a church; both stayed safe. Hopefully, the entire area and its people heal.
Rest In Peace for those who have passed away from the tornadoes.
- These rubber bands that keep it's certain figure are becoming quite the fad sweeping the nation. To the point where schools are banning them! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE(LIKE PIE!)!
- Capcom has gotten a trademark for the title "Mega Man Universe": "The trademark covers, among other things, game software, downloadable games, and mobile phone gaming. The name implies this could be a collection of classic games, another spin-off title, or possibly a browser-based game rather than another traditional title in the series."
- Sims 3 has been announced for the consoles and the DS, which follows tsome of the PC features and some new added content per system(though PS3 and Xbox 360 might be the same).
- On a personal note: Hopefully, it follows the previous console titles, as I enjoyed playing the games in the way that you can move and control them and click on the commands with the analog stick, rather than just pointing at that one guy with hair and watching him as he walks over to eat that peanut butter and jelly(TIME!) sandwich.
- The company Mad Katz is sponsering the Street Fighter IV champ for representing them at game events. He's also helping them with giving his opinion on their products.
- 5:41 PM CENTRAL TIME- This just in: A LOT of the employees over at Infinity Ward just sued Activision for withholding their money to make them stay at Infinity Ward and finish Call of Duty 4: Modern Warefare 3.
