Seriously! Go look! After a long 3 month downtime, the free rental site Demonoid.com is back up. Their main page says they are running a test script to see how things work, but the downloads are working. There have been some minor problems connecting to the site, but that may be from all the people trying to connect at once.

So the latest firmware update added the comic reader to the PSP. Sadly the comic store doesn’t open until December. What good is a reader if you’ve got nothing to read on it!?
Don’t worry, you’re getting a second chance! Now I know the game is retail right now, so beta doesn’t apply to this. Instead, it’s a free weekend to give Champs a try! This Halloween weekend everyone can play for free. The offer only lasts from 10:00 a.m.October 30th to 10:00 a.m. November 2nd, pacific time.
Also, the weekend event includes the Champions: Online Halloween activities, complete with a zombie invasion…cause you can never have too many of those…
Jump over to the Champions site and sign up and download the client.
To play the game for free you need to either steal it or borrow it. Or you can play the free Episode 1 of Fable 2 that’s on the Xbox Live Marketplace right now.
I think this solution is much better than stealing it, this way you don’t get a criminal record!
Bethesda wants to thank all those Fallout 3 fans with something extra. On October 1st you will be able to download a free Fallout 3 Xbox Premium Theme. The catch? You need to have bought all 5 DLC packs by September 22nd in order to get it for free. If you haven’t yet and you want to get the theme, you can either buy them all up now or just pay the 240 microsoft points.
Which is a better deal, $50 of game content or about $3 worth of points? I’ve already bought all the DLC so free theme for me!
Over on PlaySega.com there is a Sonic the Hedgehog level creator. Not only can you create your own levels, but you can share them with others, and others can share with you. Sounds pretty cool, sadly there is a catch.
Ever wanted to make your own type face? I’ve played around and drew up some of my own, but I’ve never been able to use them on the computer. Well now we can! The image above is a sample of what was made with the program.
Remember when the Internet channel on the Nintendo Wii was a free trial? Then after that you had to pay 500 points, or $5, in order to keep it?
There was a price drop on the channel, a 500 point price drop! That’s right, you can now have the internet channel on your wii for frii…I mean free!
Wait, you paid for it? Don’t worry, you are getting a refund…sorta. Nintendo is giving people that paid for the internet channel a “free” Nintendo game from the Virtual Console.
The internet channel is officially free to U.S. residents today, the game deal doesn’t start until October and lasts until the end of the year.

Valve has confirmed new Left 4 Dead DLC. This new campaign is going to add some continuity to the game. “Crash Course” is going to bridge “No Mercy” and “Death Toll” together. One can obviously assume what happens then.
Wise Bread has found a way to get onto the wi-fi network in airports for free. The airports offer a 15 minute free connection with use of their promotional cards, but a way has been found around this.

Ah Pirate Bay…What a tough time you’ve recently had. Sure does suck now that your owners were convicted, but that doesn’t matter. What really matters is the future of The Bay. Pirate Bay (Not related to Michael Bay) has been the target of most of the world’s hatred for internet piracy. But what is happening with The Bay now?
You can head over now to fangamer.com’s fancy Mother 3 site to go pick up the even fancier Mother 3 handbook. These babies are flying off the shelves for 20 bucks a pop and they are also peddling a key chain courage badge that you can buy as a combo deal. But if you aren’t interested in an archaic form like paper you can pay 6 bucks and get the Hi-Rez downloadable version. Or, for the mega cheap gamer, you can view it online here! Either way they are really making sure that you are properly up to date on all the goin’s on in Mother 3.
