“There are no known side effects associated with homeopathic remedies,” says a website that’s hustling its new spray-based homeopathic remedies. You know why that is? Because there are no effects, period. If there’s one thing that gets my back up, its people making money from abusing people’s hope with “alternative” medicine. There is no such thing as alternative medicine. If it worked, it would just be called medicine.

In Other News: Danger Closed, now DICE LA, Next Xbox adds an X with X86, PS Plus gets better, Mobile gaming is dying, “gamer” needs to die and the Wii U Gamepad spills its guts.

Here’s the news we didn’t post because we were too busy spraying homeopathic crap in our mouths.

    I know man 4, hell. I really want to tie in losing troopers into the main subject content in Geoffs superbly constructed trolling bait piece above, but I am better than that… Instead, I will show the benefits of helping people by reposting this documentary video below… https://www.youtube.com/watch?client=mv-google&gl=ZA&hl=en-GB&v=cVV3QQ3wjC8&nomobile=1

        NEVA! That is a serious look at the work of hopeopathy and its many benefits in society. I am pretty sad they guy didn’t make it though. If the doctor had used a pink crystal I think the patient would still be with us…

        You can’t “troll” homeopathy. It does a fucking good job of that itself.

    I almost pissed myself when I read that COD is going to release a survey on how to improve the game. But then I saw it’s only for the ELITE Zombies. Great ask those whom are as narrow minded as the corridor you run in COD’s SP. Here’s my five cents, make the SP a zombie campaign. That’s the in thing right now, right? Kiddies like zombies

    Thankfully Wolfenstein is coming and I am so getting Metro.
