We’ll go over the inagural Bar Fights event, and preview this weekend’s WCG tournament in NYC and if we should expect any upsets. We’ll cover all aspects of Street Fighter 4 itself, including balancing issues, character choices, different playstyles around the country, the upcoming Championship Edition update to be released, and Capcom’s stance on competitive gaming.”

Have a need to game on-the-go? Typical portable gaming options too tame? Jeri of FatManAndCircuitGirl (a prototyping and hacks video blog) has her own spin on Geek Chique.

Using a flat panel screen, two Nintendo controllers, a purse, and her own custom circuit hacks she has created the Nintendo/C64 Purse! FMCG’s site provides a weekly show that covers many other interesting bits (no pun intended) of circuit bending and warranty breaking fun.

Check out her overview below:

A man from the East Price Hill area in Cincinnati, Ohio, physically beat his six-year-old son for not playing a video game well.

Terry Taulbee, 50, was charged with domestic violence. He hit his son on his lower back and buttocks – it left a large red hand mark and the area is swollen.

The boy is currently with his mother. Brian Gregg, a spokesman for the Hamilton County Job and Family Services forbids contact between the father and son.

“We are investigating these allegations and looking into it, whether everyone is safe and healthy,” he said. “It is going to take some time to investigate and see what kinds of services are needed for the family.”

Halo anyone?

It’s been on the cards for a long time, ever since technology turned to the joystick for control of increasingly expensive and often deadly hardware, but gamers can rejoice in the fact that they’re l33t skillz have a purpose in the real war as well as virtual. Adverts running for the British Army already show death bots controlled by the humble 360 joypad (and before you ask why not the PS3 joypad, it’s because M$ has provided Windows and Linux drivers for it), making anyone familiar with the Microsoft console instantly at home with the control concepts.

Sometimes a guy will man up and try to escape the Friend Zone. And usually, this guy flawlessly fails. Here is a small set of guidelines to follow upon being rejected:

1. Don’t hold a grudge.
Generally, it’s a terrible idea to feel animosity towards someone for not returning emotional feelings. For example, do not fucking watch her web show and act like a stupid little 5’3” bitch in the chat room. Holding a grudge will just push her further away, and you’ll never be able to re-establish your friendship.

2. Don’t try to be friends immediately.
It’s not going to work. Don’t ask me why. It just won’t. Just let the emotions settle down for a little bit. If she doesn’t think you guys should talk anymore, don’t push against it. You need to (seemingly) get over her before you can be friends again.

3. Don’t dwell on her.
Rejection doesn’t mean the end of the world. I know that she seemed like she would be a perfect girlfriend for you. However, you won’t be able to find out how many more perfect-er girls are out there if you spend all of your time crying about her.

4. Don’t try to get through to her through people close to her.
Since you guys aren’t talking to each other anymore, you become best friends with her little brother? Don’t do that. It’s so fucking awkward.

5. Don’t worry about it.
A relationship is impossible unless there’s a spark coming from both ways. It’s unfortunate that she didn’t feel the spark, but that’s just the way it is sometimes. It doesn’t mean that you’re an unattractive person, it just means that she didn’t see you in that kind of light. Chin up, soldier.
