This seems to be a more reoccurring news feed;
China plans to back the Yuan (renminbi) with gold in the near future. Will this isn't headlines news at this point, if it is true, then that is the end of the hegemony for the US dollar. There is no way OPEC would accept dollars over gold. Good bye petro dollar, hello inflation as the world moves to back the Yuan.

Black Ops II (2) was pretty much like all the previous Call of Duty launches after stealing the thunder from the Halo crowd; mid-night launch, lots of "leaked" footage, and claims of "biggest pre-order in history" hoopla. And during the launch week, the non-disclosure agreements end and we get flooded with reviews, mostly based on a few hours of gameplay. Weak Sauce. Here is your free, several hours logged review from LP.

Reposted by Conan for new LP member Nevadarain:
So I downloaded the demo when it became available, but only got around to trying it out last night.
As a qualifier, I played through the mission on the easiest difficulty to get a feel for the game itself, then started it again on the highest to see how different it was. That being said, here are my thoughts, in no particular order:

We are edging close to a month since the highly vaulted MW3 has launched. At minimum, LP staff have collectively put in over a full week of gameplay for MP, although so far as I know, I am the sole player that has beaten the game. So, we figure we have enough data to do a decent review. And speaking for myself, I don't plan to go soft on this review.

Yes, yes, we did a beta review of BF3 and we were negative about it. And frankly, the beta deserved it. However, 4 of our LP members have since bought the game, and we have an updated review for your reading pleasure. These reviews are plucked from our emails and posted here. They are frank and mostly unedited (some personal info removed). So...

We weren't going to do a review, honestly. We played the "true beta" game and figured it just wasn't our cup of tea. No reason to lambast something we weren't going to endorse at launch. But news is surfacing that EA is censoring reviews, so we'll add our two cents now.

As you may have heard, Obama and company are pushing for a millionaire tax at the moment. Well, the
Congressional Budget Office has released it's assessment of this proposed tax and according to their analysis, it'll bring in ... $453 billion! Oh, sorry, $453 billion over the next 10 years. Or about 4 months worth of an average yearly deficit. Yippie. What else you got, Obama?

Specialists from Austria are claiming that some of the radiation from the first 3-4 days of the
Fukushima meltdown were as high as Chernobyl after 10 days. Meanwhile, several countries are moving their embassies from Tokyo to Osaka. Could use some more truthiness on this radiation issue.

While Japan was having their worst catastropies since World War II, Obama was out... playing golf? One of our biggest allies has a huge earthquake, an even more devastating tsunami and a nuclear meltdown, and
our Commander in Cheif is busy with 18 holes of golf on Saturday. I'll say it: he has no class.

And yet
another nice video montage from Buster regarding our flawless CTF game in Black Ops. Who knew that my best acting would come from a playable character in a video game? I smell an Oscar in the wind!

Another Montage! Now, the point of these is to prove a little geekiness (which doesn't sound good) but also,
the budding capabilities of LP staff. One day, we'll make a movie, but until then, enjoy what is presented.

My pre-ordered Kinect arrived yesterday in a plain brown box belying the huge amount of fun inside. Read on for my review of the hardware, some opinions about where it needs to go from here, and a short review of Kinect: Adventures, the pack-in game bundled with the Kinect hardware.

Halo: Reach is fun, just fun. All of the reasons to love Halo can be found again in this fantastic swan-song.
