The Metal Gear Solid teams having a rivalry is like kids playing at recess, one gets to be Snake and the other gets to be confusion.

News Blips:

It's Snake Vs. Snake! Apparently the teams behind Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid: Rising don't exactly get along. In an interview with GamePro, Hideo Kojima noted that this rivalry is due to the Rising team having more funding and better technology to work with. We squashed our beef with the Bitmob: Peace Walker team last month via hired goons. [GamePro]

Codemasters has sunken to the lowest common denominator to promote DiRt 2. Way to think highly of your target audience (and women for that matter) by having them tattoo a disembodied digital woman's breasts. Maybe this is a bad time to bring up Bitmob's Mob your Mom contest we're planning. [EvilAvatar]

The OnLive Beta is still accepting sign-ups. OnLive is an experimental new service to play modern console games streamed, on-demand, lag free on any almost any TV. Anyone interested in trying it out and writing about their experience? [NeoGAF]

Entertainment Consumers Association is giving out free one year memberships to qualifying students. They provide a bunch of gamer-student related services that seem worth checking out. Hell, it tops our gamer-student service of brainwashig you to write all your essays about video games. [theECA]
