Wachowski Bros. Making Speed Racer Movie
Todd Swarthout just sent in the news that the Wachowski Brothers are doing a live-action Speed Racer movie. It is currently slated for a Summer ‘08 release. Not much news on it right now, but the cast surely looks interesting: Christina Ricci (Trixie) Emile Hirsch (Speed) Susan Sarandon (Mom Racer) Matthew Fox (Racer X) John Goodman (Pops Racer) For those not [...]

Saw this over on lancerlord’s blog… it was simply too awesome not to share. Click her face to hear her reply to the question of “Why can’t 1/5 of AMERICANS find THE U.S. on a world map?”… … if she had just said “I don’t know, I’m probably one of them…” I think people would have [...]

Grant Gochnauer just sent in the scoop that the new Alien vs Predator movie (RT Link as well) has a new R-rated trailer out that is extremely gory. As someone who actually liked Alien vs Predator (thought it was a really cool way to integrate the two stories with each other and a pretty respectable execution) [...]

In a small village Nachu in Kenya, there is a group of 300 or so vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) that have been stealing crops from the town so successfully that the people in the town are now only able to survive and exist on famine relief. These are the goddamn monkeys you see from people’s [...]

From the GameSpot hands-on with it: Almost no HUD during play. No health bars, similar to Gears of War. Full physical environment (shotting a canister will send it flying down a hallway) 7.1 surround sound Cover-system similar to Gears/Rainbow6/etc. Using L2 to lock onto an object then lean out behind it. Not all cover is created equal. Some cover, like [...]

Going off of the demo GameSpot was given at the Leipzig Games Convention, I had a mini heart attach… let’s take a look: Completely open world.

24. August 2007
Hot damn the PS3 is a nice piece of hardware. Sony has announced that they are adding HD (1080p) DVR capabilities to the PS3 in Q1/08 in the form of “Play TV“. What? That’s not cool enough for you? Then how about streaming the TV you record to your PSP remotely and watching it? What that [...]

23. August 2007
Given all the stories that have already been written about BioShock, it seems the drama continues. The two issues are: Current DRM restricts 2 simultaneous installations. Unfortunately, only running the uninstaller to completion will update the 2K servers to let them know you freed up 1 install. So if you reformat, loose a HD, or something [...]
