Weekly Clix0rs – June 25th, 2008
This weeks Clix0r is filled with some classic Quake action, Blizzard game speculation, awesome games in the wings, idiots lending money to bigger idiots, and proof that the gaming industry is an overinflated market of CRAP.
Amazing Quake Speedrun – wegame. A really cool speedrun of the original Quake game. Pretty hardcore, this guy uses grenades and bunny hops to get the most speed as possible. Kind of sad though, because I remember Quake being AWESOME and state of the art. I’m old. 2 part video, so watch ‘em both.
Blizzard Spash Screen a Sign? – Blizzard. A new splash screen on the Blizzard homepage is teasing gamers. Speculation is running rampant on the internets as to what they will be announcing next. Diablo 3? Lost Vikings Sequel? World of Starcraft? We’ll see in the coming weeks.
The 15 Hottest Games of Summer – PC World. Here is a good list of games to be released this “summer”. I put “summer” in quotes because 90% of them are released in August/September. Doesn’t really make them games of summer now does it? More like games to welcome in the winter overlords. Glad I graduated this spring, though, now I don’t have to choose between grades and these games!
GAMESTOP TO PROVIDE LOANS FOR PREORDERS – Scrape. As if people who are addicted to video games don’t have enough reasons for being poor (i mean $60 bucks for crappy 360 games and $50 for Wii shovelware?) now they can get LOANS FOR PREORDERS. That way they can happily pay 40% interest but be the coolest guys in the trailer courts.
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Available Now on PC – GamingExcellence. I just threw this in here to be a jerk, if you care about this game please never EVER visit this website ever again. I’m serious. Get out of here.
And that’s the sauce. Remember your weekly clix0rs should never be taken seriously. If you have some interesting news you would like featured in a clix0r just email me at proximity@montanafragfest.com. Burn in hell, Narnia.

Was looking at the 15 hottest games of summer…..what a fucking lame summer.
The summer hasn’t been typically known for it’s game releases is it? I haven’t been following the “industry” long enough to really know. I just play ‘em as they come.
I might get Battlefield: Bad Company and disappear off the face of the PC world for a month or two though.
