The future is here.

Attending this year's AX was Toshihiro Kawamoto, character designer for Cowboy Bebop. Obviously, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to attend his panel dressed up as Jet Black and later get something autographed. Before the panel, I met up with a Spike, a Faye and an Ed (one of the rare times I've been with a full main cast) and we sat together in ( Read more... )

One of my favorite moments as Ganondorf at AX:
SOME GUY: What's it like being the worst character in Smash Bros.?
ME: Well, that's just like... your opinion, man. (NSFW language in link)

Got a good laugh from the people around us.

YAY:

Portal 2 on PS3. Even with the shitty load times of the PS3 Orange Box, Portal was as awesome as everyone said it was and I'm so looking forward to the sequel. I'm guessing Valve will make it work this time. Maybe they could throw PS3 users a bone and include a remastered version of the original Portal that runs properly.

MICROSOFT:
Natal is now called Kinect. Meh. Is this the future of games, we're gonna be like those dudes inside the mechs in Avatar firing invisible rifles in our hands screaming "GET SOME!"? HMX is making a dance game for it. Huh. ESPN for Live users, that's kinda cool actually. New 360 has built-in WiFi, you know, like all but one PS3 model has ( Read more... )

After four-plus years of contract work at the same company, I've finally been offered a permanent position. Fingers crossed. I feel good. I also feel older. But that kinda feels good too.

Sweet Jebus. I've decided there's nothing funnier than being yelled at from off-camera by "Macho Man" Randy Savage (around the 3:00 mark, but watch the whole thing). I'm amazed at Mean Gene's ability to keep a straight face during this, or is it because he's scared?

These are the opening credits to Enter the Void. Why would they post the opening credits? 'Cuz they're kinda awesome in an aggressive seizure-inducing sort of way (imagine the effect this will have projected on a big movie screen). Apparently, this earned a round of applause from Sundance all by itself. Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter (who is not ( Read more... )

- Exclusive to the 360 version of The Beatles: Rock Band since launch, "All You Need is Love" is finally coming to PS3 and Wii in the next few weeks. But many fans of the game, including myself, are worried that this could be the last piece of DLC released. Harmonix hasn't released figures, but the existing DLC doesn't seem to have sold too well.
