Hey bro, Kojima still "crazy"

2009-06-03T07:41:00.000-07:00

According to resident Kojima fanboy Jose Santos, Hideo Kojima is, "still crazy."

Recently Jose was seen on this brand new Triumph Bonneville. "You know the kind that Snake uses in Metal Gear 4."

We asked Jose what he thought of Kojima lack of ability to come up with characters and story line.

"Listen I am from a poor village in Spain. My father taught me to fish and my sisters taught me how to dress. We used to go to the movies in a cart. These days I can't be bothers with video games I need new tires for my motorcycles so I can look more like Steve Mac Queen. He was a real man. Oh Kojima? He is still crazy."

Son of God to appear with Kojima on Konami panel at noon today!

2009-06-03T07:29:00.000-07:00

I roll my eyes now at even the mention of Hideo Kojimas name now. I never thought I would say that but seriously who the fuck cares?

So far...

MGS: Rising Raiden based game for Xbox 360

MGS: Peace Walker a Big Boss based game for the PSP

Can Kojima make games that are not in the MGS universe?

I never finished the first one, however I plan to now.

So there are some new things for the Xbox Experience

2009-06-02T11:18:00.000-07:00

I can't afford air travel, but in reality you just want the skinny.

Today from the E3 stage in Los Angeles, Microsoft announced plans to dramatically improve their HD video offering through a new technology that enables instant on 1080p streaming with 5.1 audio with Zune video on Xbox 360.

This implementation is as close to a "disc in the drive" experience as possible over the Internet. At a high-level, here is how it works:

* Video startup is nearly instantaneous because of the back-end proprietary Microsoft technology developed by Zune that seamlessly transitions between many different bitrates and resolutions of video.
* Video playback will start at a low bitrate for fast download time and then ramp up to a higher bitrate and quality, up to 1080p with 5.1 audio.
* Features such as smooth fast forward and rewind that users have only seen before with local physical media.

It doesn't stop there. Other news coming out of E3 for Xbox LIVE Video Marketplace:

* Social: We unveiled Movie Party, a feature where you can go to the movies with your friends whether you are sitting on the same couch or in living rooms across the country. Starting this year, you can share a virtual theater, see your Avatars (a virtual you) on the screen – all while you listen to each other laugh and cry together at the movie through voice chat on Xbox LIVE.
* New Regional Partners: Now, for the first time Xbox LIVE members in the UK and Ireland can watch live or on-demand TV with BSkyB on Xbox. Never miss a moment of your favorite live TV shows, sports, movies and family-friendly entertainment – even share your favorites with up to seven friends in an Xbox LIVE Party.
* Global Expansion: The 1080p streaming HD Zune video experience on Xbox LIVE marketplace is expanding to 10 new regions this year, making movies and TV shows available in 18 total countries including US, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Australia, and New Zealand.

Team Ninja making a Metroid game.

2009-06-02T11:03:00.000-07:00

Team Ninja is making a game for the Wii.

I wonder if there will be any fan service shower scenes.

Ok I will eat my hat now

2009-06-01T12:26:00.000-07:00

This looks awesome!

Daylight fights? Check.
Giant redneck tank in overalls? Check.
Chainsaw? Check?

Chances of not having unlimted ammo for handguns?

Best game title ever

2009-06-01T11:32:00.000-07:00

Coming this fall. Enough said. Has anyone finished The Lost and Damned yet?

I will believe it when I see it...

2009-06-01T11:22:00.000-07:00

I highly doubt this game will be out on November 17th of this year.

I have heard real melee weapons, chainsaws and axes. I also heard New Orleans.

Once again I will bet a dollar that this game will not be out this year.

hmmm....

I believe in Jack Black

2009-06-01T09:52:00.001-07:00

I believe in Jack Black and I believe in Tim Schaffer.

I hold these truths to be self evident. Rock and roll and heavy metal are an important force and should not be tampered with.

Here is a nice clip from the upcoming Brutal Legend.

Eric Lang the bad ass angry guy from Lost

2009-05-16T09:43:00.000-07:00

This guy should play Gordon Freeman if there ever was to be a Half-Life movie. He plays nerdy scientist well, and also is comfortable holding a gun and doing action things.

Ok maybe it is because he has a beard and glasses.

Is Electric Youth powering these giant beasts?

2009-05-12T09:53:00.001-07:00

This might be the best movie ever made.

So if you say Thiaf out loud, it sounds like you might from bayou country. However that is how it appears on the Edios site, sorta. Thi4f.

Whatever, you know what it means, it means there will be a fourth installment to the "really awesome" Thief series. One of the few game series that would really and truly make a cool movie.

In other Eidos news Deus Ex 3 is in development as well. I guess that since JC Dentons' appearance in Capcoms Resident Evil 5 as Albert Wesker.

Really I am not making it up!

Bea Arthur, Dom DeLuise and Penny Flame

2009-05-05T13:43:00.000-07:00

Wow! what a week it has been first Bea Arthur and today Dom DeLuise and early this week Penny Flame has retired from the Adult Industry. This comes as sad news to me because she is one of the few members of the adult community that seems to have some natural comedic timing.

Penny is now known as Jennie and writing about her transition from one life to another on her blog BecomingJennie.

James Gunn hates you!

2009-04-30T07:38:00.000-07:00

James Gunn loves you, but he is mad at Xbox Live. Accroding to reports on his blog, James had filmed original content for an Xbox Live series called Horror Meets Comedy. The name of the piece was called Humanzee. The rules form Xboxlive for the directors were to keep it PG-13 with no sex.

"Microsoft/XBox was by far the most dreadful, non-talent friendly company I’ve ever worked for"

Sadly it is unknown at this time if the Humanzee will see the light of day, considering they did not approve of the content. We need not remind everyone that video games and systems are not only purchased and used by children, but by adults too.

Be sure to check out James' newest PG PORN title, High Poon, starring the amazing Belladonna.

British people don't know things

2009-04-30T06:57:00.000-07:00

According to a recent report from Telegraph.co.uk some of "Britain's firemen are being equipped with Star Wars-style headgear to make their job safe."

I am all for safety, I am the safest guy I know, however, these certainly don't look like anything from Star Wars. If anything they look like the guard helmets from THX 1138, that other movie George Lucas directed which he is constantly reminding us of the fact that he made by name dropping it everything he is mildly involved with. He is like George Foreman naming his brood when it comes to the usage of that alpha numeric identity.

Scare Force Won!

2009-04-28T12:30:00.000-07:00

Onlookers shit their pants yesterday morning in Jersey City, when a low flying Air Force One flew over head with an F-16 escort. According to reports no local officials had been notified of the fly by, which apparently was for a photo-op of Air Force One.

Sounds more like an experiment in crowd psychology than a break down of communication. Never forget the government will always think they are smarter then you.

So Shocking

2009-04-24T09:17:00.000-07:00

Twenty years after the release of Nothing Shocking it is now available through the Harmonix Rock Band Music Store.

A million years ago I went to see Jane's Addiction on the reunion tour. I had a feigning interest in the band mostly because the girl I had been involved with had a crazy thing for Perry Farrell. That show was sold out in like 5 min. I spent one hundred and twenty five dollars on a single ticket. We probably had some sort of awkward sex after the show.

So like many little rules I have in my life they are based on only one instance. Don't trust girls that like sports, don't trust girls that play pool, and now we can add one more, don't ever think that Janes Addiction is music for boys.

Another reason to get the Batman game..

2009-04-23T12:21:00.000-07:00

Not that the cool special edition with a batarang and stand, isn't reason enough to want this game.

Perhaps the new look for Harley Quinn will sway your thoughts.

Lets hope this game lives up to the hype. I've got my eye on you Ghostbusters.

No one likes a quitter!

2009-04-23T10:39:00.000-07:00

My Stop Smoking Coach with Alan Carr is a real DS application. These DS apps are starting to get out of control; yoga, weight loss, learning a language, and now quitting smoking.

Sir Anthony Hopkins give it a a rave review, "It was such a revolution that instantly I was free from my addiction."

Awesome Tony! Good for you!

This game is rated E, apparently 5 year olds need to quit smoking.

Game looks kind of incomplete. I'll wait for the patch.

His name is Chuck

2009-04-22T10:13:00.000-07:00

There couldn't be a better name for the hero of the Capcom sequel to the brilliant but tragically flawed Dead Rising. His name is Chuck Greene, and from the looks of it, he is ready to rock you.

In case you haven't seen it here is the strange Dead Rising 2 trailer.

Adult Star Marilyn Chambers found dead.

2009-04-15T08:30:00.001-07:00

Marilyn Chambers dies at age 56. She was found shortly before her 57th birthday by her 17 year old daughter. How terrible. There are no details to the cause of death.

Having started in “Behind the Greed Door,” which is usually said in the same breath as, “Deep Throat,” and “The Devil in Miss Jones,” Marilyn established herself as an icon of the first wave of modern pornography.

These early films were the first XXX movies on laser disc and betamax cassette, for much of suburban America this was their first exposure to pornography. In a time before the internet, and porn valley mass production, it was edgy and risqué to have an adult movies in your collection. Over the years these tapes and laser discs ended up in unmarked cardboard boxes in basements with their over sized cracked plastic cases showed wear and tear, however the ideas are still remain the same.

What does this mean to the average twitchy porn aficionado? Not much, considering we are in a time in a time where a girl might be in 150 productions in one year, Marilyn Chambers made her mark in one or two “high profile,” films and that established her as a star. She could probably be considered the first crossover star having been in a David Cronenberg zombie movie called Rabid, which I have never seen, but will probably netfilx this week.

Unforeseen Consequences

2008-12-01T04:17:00.000-08:00

The first name for me in online gaming is Steam. Steam being the game deployment system introduced by Valve created in order to help get games into the hands of gamers quickly and combat piracy. I hated it at first, however now, I really like it. It's smooth, it is good, not my point however. My point is there is lots of fun and free a stuff on Steam. If you have Half Life 2, you ought consider some of the current game mods as well as what is coming to the future.

Current important title of the moment right now is, Left 4 Dead the zombie shooter. I haven't played it yet, this seems to be Valves' most hyped game to date. With Valves' high quality and production the FPS genre as a whole tends to change with almost every release.

Counter-Strike was a mod too before it was a purchase product. This game was hugely successful with a rabid online following. Many say that Counter-Strike 1.6 is the finest version of Counter Strike. Some online players still play 1.6 considering this version to be the games' finest form.

Counter-Strike however was based on something too. The game mechanics were a mod Team Fortress, which was a mod included with the original Half-Life. However that game was spawned from an early mod of Quake, known as Quake Team Fortress. This game first presented players 2 player team combat with what are considered standard character choices in online FPS.

So where does Left 4 Dead come from? Based on free mod Zombie Panic, this multiplayer challenge introduces survivor vs zombie game play which means new multiplayer game rules and tactics. The mod was originally made for Half-Life 1, and has now been made for the Half-Life 2 engine called Zombie Panic: Source.

Zombie Panic: Source won several players choice awards for mod of the year and was featured in the March 2007 issue of PC Gamer. Frantic game play The following is a 7 min short on how the game is played. Watch out for Whitey!

What else is there? What else is interesting? What was ten years ago last month, besides a younger more spry and full of hope Charles Francis Nasty? Believe it or not Half-Life was first released to PC, way back in November of 1998. A lot has happened in 10 years. To show the change, go back and play Half-Life: Source. The physics is there, but the graphics quite dated in comparison to todays' standards.

So what are we getting hopefully early next year? Blackmesa: Source, which is a total reskinning of Half-Life: Source.
Making it look nicer. Honestly, the game is brilliant and I think what they have done looks amazing.

So this is pretty much how last week went down for me.

2008-11-23T13:50:00.001-08:00

Pretty spot on.
