    I'm not gonna lie -- I've had a crush on dear Francis since his rant on Icecrown Citadel and Star Trek Online. The man (or the persona, rather -- Francis is a comedic parody) has only solidified that crush since, especially now that he's released his hit single Tuesday. Francis, you keep on shining, you crazy diamond. Oh, and ladies? My sources say he's a fantastic Magic player. I know, I know, calm down -- the queue starts behind me. You'll all get your turn. Be warned, the tail end of the video has mildly NSFW language.

    You don't just stumble upon a kindred spirit every day. In a new promo video for The Passing -- Left 4 Dead 2's new chapter available today on the Xbox 360 and PC -- it takes an apocalypse to bring Francis and Rochelle together. Well, that and their shared "glass is half empty" outlook on life. The Passing also kicks off a brand new weekly event in Left 4 Dead 2: Mutations. These are one-off custom game types created by Valve, with a different game type available each Thursday. Today introduces Realism Versus: a match of Versus with Realism enabled, making it much tougher to play as a Survivor and a heck of a lot easier to play as an Infected. In this mode, Valve anticipates the Jockey will be one of the most effective Specials. %Gallery-85283%

  • ITT: Guy is angry about WoW and STO

    What's up ladies and gentleman, it's me Francis. Making its round on Digg this weekend was this fantastic video of a guy angry over how hard the "new Crimson Hall in Icecrown Citadel" is, and how terrible Star Trek Online is. But don't worry, he's ready to quit WoW and go play STO. While the video is funny in its own right (in that odd sort of way), what really brings it home for me is the picture of a Princess Leia in the background, surrounded by Magic: The Gathering cards. At first I though to myself, "Is this our own recently M:TG obsessed Matt Low?" But then I remembered that he's doesn't wear glasses, and his name isn't Francis. Phew! And don't worry Francis, someone from Blizzard will hear this. The above video is moderately NSFW.
