Awesome? This is an excellent trailer for Phoenix Wright 3, even though 2/3rds of the trailer is actually talking about previous Phoenix Wright games. So the game, Trials and Tribulations, will be released in late September 2007. I cannot wait.T3h minihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12854513037231132428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18594894.post-1170816296421024222007-02-06T18:43:00.000-08:002007-02-06T18:49:02.383-08:00Hotel Dusk Trailer.Apparently this is one of the best adventure games in a long time.

Subject: Video games are the new Ritalin Friday, 03 November 2006 10:55:00

Doctors are experimenting with a new Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder drug: video games. Using SMART BrainGames, a real brain training device, Dr. Margaret MacDonald is determined to show that ADHD sufferers can use video games to condition their brains to be more attentive; and do so without the aid of medications. But the treatment is pricey.
The SMART BrainGames device is listed at $595 (PlayStation 2 version; console and games not included) and must be calibrated by a specialist. $595?! That thing best have some Blu-ray!

So you're telling me that I can stop ritalin AND play video games instead? Sounds like a win-win situation.
Then again, this seems to be only for people with ADHD (I have just ADD) but you know.T3h minihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12854513037231132428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18594894.post-1162280405053666132006-10-30T23:39:00.000-08:002006-10-30T23:40:05.070-08:00Rayman Raving Rabbids....<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="ExternalInterface" width="320" height="305">

Read this news posting. Now. Here's a sample:
<span style="font-style: italic;">Dear George:</span>
<span style="font-style: italic;">I read your rather bizarre letter in Electronic Gaming Monthly. I guess you computer types don't think we lawyers can read.</span>
<span style="font-style: italic;"><img src="http://www.gamerandy.com/archives/thisone.jpg" alt="" align="right" />Couple of things you got wrong, Ace:</span>
<span style="font-style: italic;">1. I never said you "were employed by Take-Two Interactive." Never said it, never wrote it, because I never thought it. You've got 15 days, under Florida law, to produce to me, by return email, the letter in which I said you "were employed by Take-Two" or I'll take legal action against you. Check out Florida law on that, if you can read a statute book.</span>
<span style="font-style: italic;">2. You did not want a humane exchange. You wanted to mock me. That was what the flowers were for, and even Electronic Gaming Monthly figured it out. How is it that you are the only one who "got it?" The fact is, you thought this was some sort of joke. Sorry, this issue is not a joke. I've sat with families who are smaller in number because some gamer jerk like you became immersed in a very violent entertainment modality and it made an impact on him.</span>
<span style="font-style: italic;">This stuff is not funny, George. You don't get to define what my concerns are and belittle them with some stunt.</span>
<span style="font-style: italic;">You've got 15 days. Jack Thompson</span>

<span style="font-size:85%;">My question is, have you ever played a game with an overwhelming amount of <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:6;" >AWESOME</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">. </span>For example. Resident Evil 4. Resident Evil 4 was, in fact, created by Capcom by extracting <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:6;" >PURE LIQUID AWESOME</span> from the center of the earth and compressing it into a DVD. When the user places the disk into his Gamecube/Playstation, he is then splattered with what he knows to be pure liquid <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:6;" >AWESOME</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">. </span>Now, this cannot always be a good thing and then there's <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:6;" >AWESOME </span>all over the coffee table, and then you call the insurance guys, and they're like "We don't cover <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:6;" >AWESOME </span>damage, sorry." And you're like "Frick, this table was transfigured into a pet Raptor and now I have nowhere to put my Drink." Then you go upstairs and open the fridge, only to see that it is now filled with gourmet meals. And you're like "Frick, all I want is some pizza." So then you order pizza, and then you try to eat it, but before you get a chance to, your Raptor devours the whole pizza with one gulp before devouring your left arm. And you're like "Frick, how am I supposed to play Resident Evil 4 now?" </span>
So, yah, have you ever played a game with that much <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:6;" >AWESOME</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">?
</span>Don't<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:6;" > AWESOME </span>and Drive.T3h minihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12854513037231132428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18594894.post-1160204658314505802006-10-06T23:57:00.000-07:002006-10-07T00:04:18.330-07:00Firefly/Serenity Dead? Not Quite...Maybe you heard about the comments Joss Whedon made about the complete lack of Serenity 2 or Firefly Season 2 Yesterday. Of course, in typical Joss Whedon fashion, he was misquoted. Here is a quote he posted on the Whedonesque (his official website) forums:
<i><text style="Color:#FF0000">
Holy Mother of Oats! I turn my back for five minutes (that's how long it takes to admire my lovely back) and the interweb goes banoonoos! Isn't there any ACTUAL news to get wrong? Sorry about all this; it might be best if I just stay off the computer for a while. Or just glut the feed with wild conjecture. Hmm, let's see... I'm me, so... let's glut! Here are some ABSOLUTELY TRUE statements of factiness. Gentlemen, start your websites.
1) Wonder Woman has finally been cast. To no one's surprise, we eschewed all those tired movie and TV personalities and cast the interweb star "Lonelygirl", or whatever her actual name is. Congratulations, whomever!
2) I've got a thirteen episode commitment from the CW, so get ready for the long-awaited "Primative and Cheese Man". She's the first Slayer, he's a meaningless hallucination -- can they put aside their differences long enough to fight crime?
3) "CLEM!" Broadway. The number where he eats Rum Tum Tuggle will make you laugh and cry and throw up in your mouth slightly.
4) I will absolutely, posatively never ever do any kind of Serenity sequel or spinoff unless a studio asks me. Politely. Or meanly, that's cool too.
5) Warren Ellis's beard has a foyer. It's quite nice: shaker furniture, and a cute ceramic umbrella stand.
6) Kelly MacDonald and Gong Li have got to stop fighting over me 'cause who are they embarrassing? Themselves, that's all.
7) I'm tired of me.
Right. Cue chaos. And yes, number seven is more or less true. But my little britjaunt is through (Alexis rocked "All My Sons") and I'm grindstone bound, so I won't be feeding any more rumorsites for a while. There's only one way to stop all this insanity, and that's to produce some actual work for people to write about. So I'll do that.
Here's a thing: when "Firefly" was cancelled, my heart got broke. Sounds a bit much, but it changed me. Not even "Serenity" could patch that wound. I'm wearier, warier -- after all those years as a movie writer, you'd think I'd be prepared for another lesson on my unimportance in the scheme of things, but I wasn't. There are two very separate worlds: the marketplace, and the bustling bazaar that is my brain. The brain place is crowded with goods, ideas, sequels, spinoffs, animated versions, miniseries, radio dramas -- this is just the used goods. All the new wares are in there as well and it's deafening. Once I create a verse I never let go of it. And figuring out how much of my energy should be devoted to reawakening the projects you all love with the actors and characters I all love, and how much should be forging ahead and creating entirely new works (which you are contractually obligated to love) is exhausting. More than you know. You know the horse caught bwtween two pools of water? Add seven pools, and make the horse wicked A.D.D. The other world, the marketplace, I don't even begin to understand or predict. All these rumor of projects or the death of projects... When the two worlds align and something actually happens, whatever it is, you guys know I'll be on this site as soon as I'm allowed to be. And I'll be very very clear. There is no news. Not never, just now. I'm off to lunch with Lonelygirl.
Your Scribe, -j.

This game was cancelled long ago and now gametap is bringing it back to life. They are also setting up ways for people to play it around the world (as of yet, gametap is only availible in the states.)
The idea of an adventure MMO is mind-bogglingly awesome, even though I have somewhat frowned on the myst series as a whole. The myst series were incredibly immersive, but way too difficult. But perhaps tackling the puzzles of Myst would make it new again?
Gametap also announced that they would be making the resources availible to allow people to make their own ages, and that is amazing. The thought of independent game design of this calibur would mean a never-ending supply of content, destroying the play-once problem with adventure games.T3h minihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12854513037231132428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18594894.post-1159246023245221972006-09-25T21:47:00.000-07:002006-09-25T21:47:03.443-07:00Can you defuse the bomb?15 minutes, and a bomb in a briefcase.

You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.
Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

Not only does this guy play the super mario theme on guitar, he plays it on two guitars SIMULTANEOUSLY! AT THE SAME TIME! Right hand on one guitar, left hand on the other.

Guitar Hero coming to multiple new platforms
Posted Sep 20th 2006 4:55PM by Kevin Kelly
Filed under: Nintendo DS, Sony PSP, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360, Simulations
According to Eurogamer, Activision CEO Robert Kotick let it drop at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia XV Conference (that's a mouthful) that Guitar Hero would appear "on every significant new format."
We can only guess this means whammy-barring on the Xbox 360 is pretty much confirmed, with Gamestation employees hearing earlier this week that they will be getting Guitar Hero II for that console in early 2007.
With the Wii, DS, PSP and PS3 being significant new formats, chances are you might be able to jam just about anywhere.
Now that is interesting. Sony no longer having guitar hero exclusively would turn the tide indeed.T3h minihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12854513037231132428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18594894.post-1158729784913708162006-09-19T22:23:00.000-07:002006-09-19T22:23:04.960-07:00Bored?

So.
...
The Wii. Was announced. Today. For $249.99
...
This will include the Wii, one controller, a nunchuck attachment, and Wii Sports.
...
I am unhappy. Do you know why I am unhappy? Nintendo said the Wii will retail for LESS THAN $250! LESS THAN! NOT EQUAL TO! > see? > there it is again. not =, >. Look at the kind symbol that is here: >. It smiles at you. See look $250>price of Wii. See how the zero makes a smiley face with the >? Can't you see them running around in open meadows with "Da da da da daaaa daaaa" in the background? But no. Instead we get: $250=price of Wii. See how the 0 and = make a face that sort of make it look like it was TORN APART BY HANNIBAL LECTER?

I mean, really nintendo. I suppose you can make the argument that "It is cheaper. By one cent." Well, there is some stuff you could do with that one cent you save. Here's a few ideas.
<li>Electrocute Nintendo Headquarters.
<li>Make a copper sword and kamakazi Nintendo Headquarters
<li>Throw melted copper at the windows.
And I'm done. But I'm still bitter.T3h minihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12854513037231132428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18594894.post-1158203790748877522006-09-13T20:16:00.000-07:002006-09-13T20:16:30.753-07:00Video: The Awesome New iPod nano AdApple introduced the 2nd generation of the iPod nano this morning, and along with it, they created a pretty cool ad to go with it.

W007!Okay. Check this out:
<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2006/09/shuffle.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2006/09/shuffle.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>
So here's a quick recap of what Apple announced today.
-iPod Shuffle - Not too much to say about this one, except that it looks awesome but is still sucky on the inside. Sniff.
-iTunes 7 (This is great. Download it now.) This is an amazing jump over iTunes 6. Not only is the logo blue (Yes, BLUE PEOPLE! IT'S BLUE! NOT GREEN, BLUE!) but it's got some crazy new organization bar and you can view your music differently by album art. Plus, it automatically downloads album art for you that you don't have.
-iPod - Same generation ipod, but with a better battery life, brighter screen, and 50 dollars cheaper.
-iPod Nano Generation 2-Just a Nano with the above features
-iPod Games on the itunes music store!!! Tetris, Bejewled, Majongg...only for $5.99
-iTV - Streams video/music from a mac/pc to the TV. That is very cool.
Thats it for apple coverage. Interesting that there is absolutely zero news on new macs or mac os 10.5. Ah well. Adios everyone, I'll be blogging the nintendo price point/release date in a couple of days.T3h minihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12854513037231132428noreply@blogger.com0
