    The Constantly Updated Music Post!

    [Updated: 2 - 7 - 10]
    Why didn't I think of this earlier? People love posting their musical tastes on their own websites so I figured why don't I? Let the ego stroking commence.

    Keep an eye on the date and video, it will be changed frequently.

    Commercial Break: Star Wars Tuna Commercial?


    My Japanese isn't that great, but that is either some form of processed pork or from what I can decipher...tuna in cake form. Either way, look at C3PO go!

    For The Four People Who Care: No New Colony Wars Game

    Old news, I am a huge Colony Wars and Psygnosis fanboy. It was the Brog's best kept secret that I was hoping to get an interview with one of the designers of the old Colony Wars/Wipeout series. Thanks to a little help from Tim Wright [DJ ColdStorage and legendary composer for the aforementioned game franchises] I was able to track down some key individuals from the now fragmented Psygnosis team. It is incredibly unfortunate timing that as of this week, most of them have recently lost their jobs. Those who still remain at Studio Liverpool have lost a team that has had one of the longest running racing franchises in gaming.

    Video: Red Dead Redemption Weapons

    A couple things of note:

    • I couldn't help but notice that the star of Rockstar's most recent epic doesn't have a perfect set of teeth. I have no idea why my eyes became affixed on something so small and minute, but I guess I never noticed [out loud] that most games have 'ideal' modeled faces. Down to the pearly whites.
    • Can I hold my gun 'gangsta style' a la 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand, because this could be a deal breaker. I need my enemies to know they are going to die with style.
    • How sexy is this guys 'tech demo' -style voice over work. Its great to live in the age of games getting the National Geographic treatment; really, its a serious tone of respect I thought I'd never see. But honestly, we couldn't shell out the extra bucks to get Morgan Freeman to voice over the main guns in RDR? These truly are troubling times.

    Stuff I've Been Reading...

    In a change of pace from my overly syllabic reviews and rants let me bend your ear to books I've been reading or at least trying to read between all the game playing, website building and movie watching. These past couple of months have bore the fruit of quite the interesting couple of books and dvds. Some of the literature are education-oriented and books most of you have probably read in the sixth grade, but others really surprised me given the medium of being graphic novels.

    Precious - Not As Depressing As I Thought It Would Be
