Saints Row: The Third – Tim & Eric & GENKI!

Tim and Eric, the benevolent masterminds behind Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, have teamed with THQ to bring to life Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax, Saints Row: The Third's most deranged and demented game show.

In the soon-to-be critically-acclaimed Saints Row: The Third, Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax pits you in a battle to the death against furry mascots and human hotdogs with a chance to win extraordinary prizes such as cash and the opportunity to not die.

Tim and Eric will take the depravity of Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax to new heights, and lows, with their own, full-length live-action episode, featuring such crowd-pleasing contests as Tall Cat Parade and Eat Yourself. They will also, for the first time ever, detail the intriguing and inspiring life story of the mysterious man-cat, Professor Genki. Beware: this episode is for mature audiences only, and anyone faint of heart, or with a history of heart problems, cat allergies, or high moral standards should probably do anything else when this mind-bending episode breaks the Internet next week.

Tim and Eric's Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax will air on select online outlets on November 4. Pre-order Saints Row: The Third today to receive Professor Genki's Hyper Ordinary Pre-Order Pack, featuring the Genki's Leisure Stunt Suit, Genki's Mollusk Launcher, and Genki's Super Ballistic Man-a-pult. Finally, check out the first teaser trailer for Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax, brought to you by Tim and Eric themselves.

Saints Row: The Third – Shock and Awesome

Terrorist insurgents? Been there. Unruly Taliban? Done that. The Third Street Saints? Now that's a challenge.

The only military force in the world capable of answering the call is STAG, the Special Tactical Anti Gang unit, outfitted with hover jets, speeder bikes, laser tanks, and one hell-of-a flying aircraft carrier.

As STAG occupies Steelport and takes aim at both the Syndicate and the Saints, you'll have to adapt, overcome, infiltrate, penetrate, and execute all sorts of military-sounding words.

The Deckers... elite cybercriminals... hackers... unrelenting online gamers. Their next target: the Third Street Saints. Upon arriving in Steelport, the Saints find their bank accounts wiped out by a Deckers cyber-attack. For the Saints, there's only one thing left to do: hack into the Deckers user-net, engage in their own brand of cyberbullying, and shut down the Deckers' network... permanently. But in this world, Deckers mastermind Matt Miller is a virtual god, capable of altering physics, setting firewalls, and unleashing his own deadly, maxed-out avatar. Are you ready to fuck shit up in virtual reality?

Saints Row 2 patch info

A patch will be released for the 360 version of Saints Row 2, which will address a few key issues presented by the community. There will be tweaks to Multiplayer in order to promote smoother and more balanced game play. All of the applicable balance changes and improvements listed here will be included in an upcoming PS3 patch. Due to technical differences between the PS3 and the Xbox 360, a number of the changes made in this patch do not apply to the PS3 edition of Saints Row 2.

This patch has been submitted to Microsoft, with an established release date pending. Once the patch has completed the certification process and a release date is known, the information will be announced to the community.

General:

• Correcting the co-op mission completion and Achievement issues.
• Implemented protection against disc read errors. May reduce or eliminate crashes experienced by some users.
• Players will no longer be able to change the “Friendly Fire” setting during the Cat & Mouse diversion.
• Players will no longer be able to access the weapon radial menu during the Demolition Derby activity, including all Special Derbies.
• Correcting an issue with scripted attack helicopters not firing missiles during missions.

Multiplayer:

• Pipe Bombs will be removed from the default MP weapon loadout when a game begins.
• The default time / score limit for Team Gangsta Brawl will change from “5 min / 25 kills” to “10 min / 50 kills”.
• A 5 second period of invincibility will be applied to respawning players. Once an invulnerable player performs an attack, the effect will be removed. Invulnerability will be displayed by a special health bar indicator.

A final date has not been set for the release of this patch, since it still needs to pass Microsoft certification, but once the exact date is known, everyone will be informed.
