The sad tale of 15 year old Brandon Crisp, who ran away from home after his parents took away his XBOX gaming system, believing he had become addicted to the game Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, has apparently ended today with the discovery of a body police believe to be Crisp’s:

The nearly month-long search for a teen who went missing after arguing with his parents over a video game ended in apparent tragedy Wednesday.

Hunters in an area northeast of Barrie found a body “pretty well believed” to be that of Crisp on Wednesday morning, within kilometres of his central Ontario home, police said.

No word if Crisp was An Hero, but the internet has already of course made that assumption. Either way, shit sucks for his folks, especially now that the internet hate machine is all over this story. On a semi-related note though, it kind of makes me want to try out Call of Duty 4. Must be a pretty badass game.

In further efforts to keep shut-ins completely mired and satiated, Xbox has announced a partnership with Netflix to stream movies right into your television. Now you won’t even have to go to you mailbox. Hell, stay in your room FOREVER.

As soon as Xbox starts shipping feeding tubes, MREs and catheters, the world’s biggest winners will never have to get out of bed.

Associated Press Reports:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Microsoft’s Xbox 360 video game console will be able to stream thousands of movies over the Internet, thanks to a deal with Netflix.

The arrangement Microsoft Corp. announced Monday at the E3 Media & Business Summit in Los Angeles will give Netflix’s 8 million subscribers another way to stream movies on a TV instead of a computer. A Netflix-backed startup called Roku already sells a small streaming device that connects to TVs.

The Netflix streaming service — which operates in addition to its DVD-by-mail program — offers 10,000 movies and TV shows. Microsoft’s Xbox had movies available before, but not nearly as many. This expansion is key in helping Microsoft compete with Sony Corp.’s PlayStation 3, because gaming consoles are becoming entertainment hubs with movies, videos and music.

The tracklist for Rock Band II has been leaked. The complete “Set List” features over 100 songs and bonus tracks. Rock Band wants to include over 500 songs by the end of the year by classic, new and developing artists. Some artists on the game are AC/DC, Bob Dylan, Interpol, Pearl Jam, Paramore, Rise Against and Guns N’ Roses.

• After 14 years since Guns N’ Roses last official music release, Axl Rose selects Rock Band 2 to debut official new track “Shackler’s Revenge” from the highly-anticipated album Chinese Democracy.

• Rock Band 2 is the first and only video game to feature the music of AC/DC. It includes their epic rock anthem, “Let There Be Rock.”

• For the first time ever, music from American music icon, Bob Dylan, is featured in a video game with “Tangled Up In Blue.”

• Rock Band 2 will feature backwards compatibility with all Rock Band downloadable music content released to date.

• Owners of the original Rock Band will have the ability to export most of the Rock Band disc tracks and upgrade them into Rock Band 2 gameplay-the first time ever in videogame history!

• With ongoing weekly DLC releases including individual tracks, track packs and full albums, the Rock Band music library will feature more than 500 songs by year’s end!

The Nintendo Wii now has a beer pong game. That’s the greatest thing I’ve heard in awhile. College boys everywhere must be crapping their pants. JV Games is trying to clean up the game by changing the title to “Pong Toss” so they can market it to younger kids. This is pretty funny: it was produced by JV’s Frat Party games line. How douchey! It is rated “T” and is the first drinking game of its kind. Reviews all say it sucks badly but oh well. I already hate people who take beer pong too seriously and now mix that with hardcore video gamers and all hell will break loose.
