BUTT

Mass Effect trailer now. Microsoft is real big on this "gaming as cinema" thing, aren't they? Everything gets the movie-style trailer treatment.

Viva Pinata: Party Animals! This is the stuff you pay $375 million for!

Interesting game to start with. I wonder if they are going to announce some sort of exclusivity agreement.

Cool game, I'm sure. "Rock Band" is a pretty weak title, though, isn't it?

Harmonix is on the stage now. They are showing Rock Band.

OK well the press conference has started. A band of teenagers played some Halo music to start. And now Peter Moore is on stage.

According to Midway's official pre-E3 press release, this game will be out in the spring for PS3, PS2, 360 and Wii.

Mario & Sonic Olympics screens:

Mach Rider uses the same engine as F-1 Race, a not-bad-but-still-nothing-special Pole Position clone that Nintendo released for the Famicom in 1984 but never brought to the U.S. (well, except for the Game Boy in like '91). And I've wondered for a long time how that game was left in Japan but Urban Champion made it over here. *The preceding paragraph has nothing to do with anything.

I played Miracle World a few months back. I had always assumed that it was a really lame platformer and I was shocked at how awesome it was. The Genesis one isn't as good but at least it returns to the style of Miracle World. The ones in between are straight up crap, especially High-Tech World.

Yeah, Ross Bagdasarian Jr. (son of the Chipmunks's creator and the guy who has been doing their voice ever since his dad died in the 70s is doing Alvin and Simon and his wife, Janice Karman, is doing Theodore. Jason Lee and David Cross star.

Why is FNC showing Luger footage??????

So, a few nights ago, I was just on my computer, a I noticed in the taskbar a message came up saying "A new Xbox 360 has been detected on the network" and asked me if I wanted to connect it to my PC. So I clicked on the icon to see what was going on (normally I would have been apprehensive about this but my brother had previously mentioned buying a 360, so I figured he may have purchased it and connected it via the ethernet port, but it was real late at night and I didn't want to bother him). It opened up the Media Center interface and gave me the opportunity to connect it to my PC, but I didn't do it. However, it has come to my attention that my brother does NOT have an Xbox 360, and from doing a Google search I see many people have received the same message despite not having a 360. Now I'm not on a wireless network, so it couldn't be any kind of interference from another house or anything. So this makes me a little worried as I feel there are only two options: 1) I was using Soulseek to download music at the time. Could there have been some sort of interference from a user from whom I was downloading? (I really doubt this one.) 2) Some kind of wacky spyware/adware/malware. I just ran Ad-Aware and I had 48 critical objects (and 40 negligible objects). Oh shit. So that's probably it but I don't know about this particular bit of malware and what exactly it does. So does anyone know anything more about this problem and exactly what is behind it?

I used to love her But I had to kill her I used to love her But I had to kill her I had to put her Six feet under And I can still hear her complain

I think they really knew that it was over when the filmed the episode. That scene in the barn where he and Winnie realize that there is no way they are going to be together forever brings the relationship to a logical conclusion. Still one of my favorite, and most powerful, TV moments. God I'm a tool.

You aren't funny. Not even a little. The Arrested Development reference was fully appropriate and relevant to the situation. Diary_Of_A_Madman, be nice. Czech, keep ya head up.

Oh God. Remember when Matt posted a pic of himself suckin' a boob on his girl Melissa? Oh how love can go bad.

Madonna's "American Pie" is among the worst things I've ever heard, and the original version certainly isn't a favorite of mine.

Meltzer reported it in his update today.

Strange, that's been my instinct ever since I heard Scott was out. But really, who would be a good replacement?

http://wii.ign.com/articles/796/796612p1.html IGN is reporting that Nintendo has canceled Project H.A.M.M.E.R. Too bad, I was looking forward to that game. Not EVERYTHING you put out has to be for your precious casual gamers, Nintendo.

"Unwritten" is better. I'm thinking that's the song Ravenbomb is talking about.

DD2 was nothing like the arcade game. And it was 50 times better for that reason. Double Dragon 3 was also better, but that's only because the arcade version was terrible.

The Fast and the Furious arcade game is everywhere. I swear, it's in my local Wal-Mart, it's in movie theaters. It must be the biggest non-DDR arcade success of this decade. In my local K-Mart, on the other hand, they have Capcom's Alien vs Predator. Seriously, a game from 1993. Although it's a definite step up from the game they had there two years ago: TIME KILLERS.

I read on the Death Valley Driver board that according to the newest Observer, Vince wanted a scene in See No Evil in which Kane would be revealed to have a 36-inch dick and jerk off onscreen.
