Yes, folks. I achieved even what I thought would be slightly impossible. It took 3 days of constant trial-and-error, as well as some of the most foul language I could possibly utter from my lips. But, I did it, with a much faster time than I had anticipated. I was thinking that I would barely squeak by, but the later parts of the game can be plowed through. Act 4, in particular, is mostly a breeze since it is guarded by unmanned drones that can be immobilized by chaff grenades.
How often does a publisher let the gamer pick the next cover art for an upcoming release?
Activision is doing so with the next Spider-Man game via a website called Seize Control. The website also helped picked the voice actors for the game and is being considered to even get feedback on preorder bonus gifts from the public. (We want shirts, skip the crappy posters!)
 Right on! One of the best SNES era RPG’s soon to best released in North America on the Nintendo DS. The best part is, there’s no more worries about my battery dying and losing all of my data. Sweet! Read the official press release after the jump.
Anyone who was a fan of Witchblade knows Michael Turner. He drew for Valiant, DC, Topcow, and Marvel. He was personally one of my favorite artist of all time. He was one of my biggest influence. He succumbed to cancer on June 27th, 2008. He was only 37. He will be greatly missed by me.
Nintendo is #1 and to make sure them stay in the top spot, they have come out with hundreds of harebrain schemes to capture, package and sell our most fondest childhood memories in ways that only a heartless corporation can so easily do. From Nintendo themed tee shirts to Mario plushies, Nintendo has a god given knack to peddle off their junk to the “hardcore” masses. Well, add this to pile of wacky Nintendo related merchandise. Game Asylum has imported the ohh so cute mini Famicom controllers and cart shaped business card holders. The sell out child inside of me want one bad and is screaming “gimmie, gimmie!”, but the adult in me is saying, “no fucking way.” I personally can’t see myself using this to hold my business cards due to the type people in my industry. I’m nopt going to lose buisness so I can look retro hardcore. No thanks.  Someone with more “liberal” work setting, well I can see this selling like hot cakes with that crowd. Love it or hate it, Nintendo will keep making the goods till no one will buy them. So until that fateful day and Armageddon has destroyed the free world. I’m going to wipe away last tear for my childhood… from my Famicom shaped tissue dispenser!
But I watch a shitload of movies. And my lack of the former really helped my enjoyment of the latter this weekend. Since while everyone else on god’s green earth was watching Wall*E, I decided to throw my cash at the counter programming and saw Wanted over the weekend.
Long story short, Wanted was very enjoyable for the post-Matrix action crowd and there’s something to be said about using bullet-time framing on an actual bullet. Also, since I have no prior knowledge of the comic imploring me to grouse about story alterations, I was able to enjoy the highly kinetic filmwork of director Timur B(sorry, its long and russian) and revel in the insane amounts of carnage on the screen.

After my baseball trip to LA, I’ve come to the startling conclusion: MapQuest sucks and LA’s traffic system is horrible. So to remedy this minor oversight, I’ve been tossing around the idea of purchasing a mobile GPS unit. You know, getting into the now and embrace machines controlling where I go and what not. So after overcoming my fear of Skynet and realized that I don’t have the foggiest clue which GPS unit to purchase, I ponder: Do I REALLY need a GPS unit? While I rather send $200-$500 on a new arcade monitor, this neat mod that adds the voice of GlaDOS makes the temptation almost unbearable. Who wouldn’t want their GPS to sound like the infamous yet sultry voiced android that gives you misleading information?
(Cake=Lie)
I know I sure do!
I just wish they could have actually used the original voice actor for this mod. Valve can make this official and release the Valve Portal GPS voice pack with Ellen McLain actual voice because that would be absolutely awesome and that would be sweet but alas, because it makes so much sense, it will never happen. Damn…
I read that three guys were playing through all the main Mario games for charity, you know, the fun ones. They have it live streaming and everything…. and a CHAT!
Turns out you can’t say certain things on that chat, because immediately after typing “FAP!FAP!FAP!” I was kicked and banned. Whoops. Either way, if you have some time, go check it out in a MATURE and RESPONSIBLE manner.
