It seems that somebody has been sticking their sword into the wrong dungeon. The story goes that an Age of Conan player summoned a GM and convinced them to engage in a tiny “role-playing”. The GM then took the player to a more secluded portion of the game world and (after a bit of hemming and hawing) proceeded to describe a sexual scenario in graphic detail.

Best of all? The whole thing is a setup. Shortly after things get really hot and heavy, the player reveals that he lied about his gender before screaming, “THIS IS SPARTA!” and announcing that he has AIDS. It’s times like this where I’ve to thank God for the creation of the web.

Funcom, understandably, was less amused with the situation and released the following statement:

We’re aware of this matter, and necessary measures have been taken against them. We have clear guidelines for all employees in Funcom, not least those who work with customer service, and if the guidelines are broken

Next week marks the release of Capcom’s 2D Bionic Commando remake, Bionic Commando Rearmed. Rearmed adds bigger boss battles, two player co-op, and several multiplayer modes to the classic “use a retractable grappling arm instead of just jumping over those crates” experience. In addition to these exciting new features, the Personal computer version will have exclusive access to a price point that’s five dollars higher. … Wait a minute, what’s the deal with that?!

“It has nothing to do with Piracy concerns. It has to do with different business terms/expectations in that sector and more importantly, generally prevailing pricing of Computer digital games versus their console counterparts. The typical downloadable price for digital-only games on Personal computer is actually $19.99,” Capcom’s Christian Svensson explained to Shacknews when questioned about the price hike.

“Another consideration is that our distribution costs as a percentage are, on average, slightly higher on PC than console,” Svensson added. “In several cases we’ve another party (beyond just the distribution portals) taking an extra bite, driving down our share of the revenue. For example, affiliate sites of our portal partners take a well earned slice of revenue for every sale, then the portal gets its cut, then we get ours. Three mouths to feed.”

The additional costs inherent in online distribution do give Capcom something of a valid excuse for the price increase, and I suppose $5 won’t exactly break the bank, especially when you consider that disk-based games cost less on the PC. Still, if Microsoft had its way this discrepancy wouldn’t exist: everyone would be paying $15!

I’ve been waiting almost two years to use that picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger suffocating on Mars in Total Recall, and I finally got an excuse to post it. I would’ve rather gone with this, but it’s a tad bit NSFW.

It’s a shame we weren’t able to give out beta codes for Red Faction Guerrilla here at Destructoid, but if you were lucky enough to grab one elsewhere, I hope you’ll join us for a few rounds of banging the hell out of stuff.

Everyone else: have fun playing whatever the heck it is you play these days.

Like with Dynasty Warriors, there’s not much a person can say about the Romance series that fans don’t already know about.

One thing I can at least bring up is the new debate gameplay feature. Yes, you’ll actually have debate battles to break up the regular fighting. No, I’m not joking. You’ll need to review the topic and make sure to keep your anger levels in check to win the debates. How very … thrilling.

Romance of The Three Kingdoms XI will be out September 9 for the PC. Hit the jump for the system specs and check out the trailer above and the gallery below!
