ZP gives the the new Alone in the Dark a good kicking:

I remember the first game and thinking on playing Resident Evil on the Playstation how much they ripped off AITD.

Hi boys!
I agree, Van = genius!
I remember the Bookmobile! Does that mean I’m old? Or that I lived in BFE?
CP: new Coldplay album. Liking it.
Van: “I assume it isn’t where you hang books by strings on plastic frames and hang them over cribs.”
Totally takes on a new meaning when you misread books as boobs…
I’m going back to bed.
Funny review, Van. I liked it.
Too bad EVE Online isn’t nearly as cool as the ads make it out to be. :(
Smooth like Butta.
J0e, be warned, Opeth can switch from intricate to jazzy to pretty to brutal to heavy and then back again, all within the space of one of their typically 6-11 minute songs. An acquired taste, fer sher. Rhett, how is the bonus edition’s cover of “Bridge of Sighs”?
I remember the bookmobile.
The boobmobile? Now THAT is an interesting idea for a business. LOL
Actually- if you look at Cynful’s boobmobile idea in a non-dirty way, that could have a practical application for feeding babies in the night.
And if you look at it in the dirty way. . . . . yeah, back to bed.
The new trailer for FF XIII looks gorgeous.

I’d prefer to see more of the in-game renders, but the level of detail is really impressive.
Just so you know, someone already thought of it. ;)

Jack, I only cracked open the CD this morning and listened on the way to work. I haven’t fired up the DVD yet. Opeth isn’t for everyone. It’ll be too brutal for some and the soft parts may turn off hardcore metalheads. Very niche and not commercial at all.
Perhaps I’ll get to sample the bonus tracks tonight and the rest of the album in a 5.1 mix! :)
“Opeth, buckle-up and put on your helmet.”
Boobmobile – sadly, that brings to mind the car on the highway that comes roaring up from miles behind you, passes you, changes lanes to get in front of you … then slows down, forcing you to disengage your cruise control. The really special ones do this right before you climb the next hill so not only do you have to loose cruise control but you loose all of your momentum and have to burn extra gas to get up the hill.
I encountered many of these Boobmobiles on my last trek.
Now really … (see my last comment for activity details)
CP: A pain that I’m used to — Depeche Mode
A Boobmobile would have made my childhood a lot more interesting than the Bookmobile did, no doubt.
CP: Flat Foot Flewzy – Widespread Panic
JOe – I know that wasn’t a comment on female drivers, and more a colorful old-timey euphemism, as in “you are SUCH a boob!”
Not that, ahem, you are old. Quoting Van, “cough.”
^joke gone bad . . .
Appears somebody doesn’t like Square doing a game for the 360:

CP: Sixteen – The Buzzcocks
http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/opeth/watershed
An 87 score. Not bad.
So tonight I will mostly eating scrambled eggs on toast.
Van: I think the guy is a complete moron.
How can you “mostly” eat scrambled eggs on toast? Does that mean your shirt shares in the feast? ;)
No comment!
Dr. Horrible t-shirts are available. I might have to get a Hammer version:

I think Sony is going to have a continuing hard time in the console market. On one hand they have a nifty machine in the PS3 that mixes the role of a game machine and media player very well. And on the other they have completely failed to support it. I think Micro$oft’s Netflix deal is a big set back to the Playstation as a media center. And the Nintendo Wii has garnered all the acclaim in the game innovation department.
Sad ABBA news:

Rhettro: On the other hand, the PS3 is the best and cheapest Blu-ray player on the market. They’ve done very well saleswise because of this. And the Japanese are very devoted to that platform.
The console market has always been Sony’s to lose. Their only major competitor was and still is Nintendo.
I love it when you guys talk gaming. I wish I knew what you were talking about! I have gaming envy!

The PS3 is a nice Blu-Ray player, but it has still been beaten in sales buy the 360 and the Wii. And if the rumours are true, the XBOX is going to get a Blu-Ray player at some point. It is nice that the PS3 doesn’t burst into flames every so often like the 360 does though.

Holy Crap. Steven Hawking is considering moving to Canada!

Rhettro: It depends on where you look. Nintendo is currently kicking eveyone’s ass in every market.

In Japan, calling the 360′s sales anemic would be a compliment.

On the other hand, in terms of worldwide sales, the PS3 is far, far behind Nintendo and the PS3:

True, but the attachment rate (i.e. the number of games a console owner buys) is highest for the 360. I don’t expect that to stay that way, I assume the Wii will attain that position just by shear numbers alone. Personally, I could care less, I just want good games. :)
Well I like all three of the current consoles, but most of the games I’ve bought have been for the Wii and 360.
But after reading an old Retro Gamer, tonight I will mostly playing the C64 version of Stellar 7.
Oh and just for ditto, watch the following all the way through:

I totally agree, Rhettro.
BTW, I can’t wait for Rock Band 2!!!!! Though, as much as I want it, I can’t afford to shell out $300 for the premium drum kit. :(

For the game.
ARSE!!!!
lol. Thanks, Van.
I don’t think I’ve ever played Stellar 7 on the C64. Looks a bit like Battle Zone.

Can I come over, ditto?
It’s a bit of a drive, isn’t it? :)
Oh, good point . . .
I’ll just stay here listening to the mouth breather on this conference call, I guess.
Ewwwwwwwwwwww I hate those.
I’m always happy to cook for KC visitors. :)

So I’m packing for this trip just now … and I happen to flip on the Cobert Report and low and behold – there is the guys from RUSH and he is interviewing them!
Then they played “Tom Sawyer”!
Sweet!
Check you later Deadpan!
