Why I will not be buying Guitar Hero 3
Fuck. This doesn’t even look like fun any more.

Trailer for new AvP movie - Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem
Good grief.
Wordpress Sparklines
My love affair with Sparklines continues unabated. I’m now using the Sparkline PHP Graphing Library to generate the background for my monthly archives links. These show, at a glance, how many posts I made on particular days during that particular month.
For example, here’s how July 2007 looks:
Needless fuckery, to be sure. [...]

Announcements from the Leipzig Game Convention
Now that E3 has died on its arse, the other conventions are becoming more important to the industry players. This month, the annual Game Convention is taking place in Leipzig, Germany. So far, there have been press conferences from Nintendo and Sony. Quick summaries of the conferences so far (paraphrased):

The Bourne Ultimatum
I just want to go on record right now and say that, unlike the rest of the world (or so it seems), I did not enjoy the Bourne Ultimatum. I thought that it was easily the most absurd and least enjoyable of the three Bourne movies.
Scarlett sings Tom Waits
Ah, Scarlett Johansson.
Remember when you were new and fresh?
Remember before you became a creepy-weird pneumatic bombshell that looks like a walking photoshop touch-up?
Remember when you released an album of Tom Waits covers in Spring 2007?
Wait a second…
As we know, her album didn’t come out in Spring 2007. Unfortunately, the delay isn’t because somebody, [...]
Videogames as art (as tshirt)

Trivia subtitles for movies
It’s very likely that, before getting rid of my DVDs, I’ll rip the ones I like and store them somewhere. I like this because it will give me a business case to present to herself indoors as to why our house would benefit from a pretty RAID array. Herself being a businesswoman, [...]
Evolution of the Mix Tape
A while ago, a few people were talking about the “death of the mix tape”, and I said the mix tape hadn’t died, it had just evolved.
Well, the Mix Tape USB by Suck UK is a perfect demonstration of this evolution. It’s a USB drive packaged like an old cassette tape, so you [...]

Abe Vigoda: Still Alive
If you’re like me, you’re worried sick about Abe Vigoda and whether or not he’s still with us (He’s 86! You should be worried!). Well, our problems have been solved. Thanks to some Twitter voodoo, you can now get hourly updates confirming that Abe is still in the land of the living.
Can’t [...]

Continuing with the Bioshock theme, the first review scores have been released.
1up: 10/10

Not that there was ever any doubt. The Metacritic page will be pretty interesting over the next few days.
BBC NEWS - Irish actors set for Mars remake
"Irish actors Jason O’Mara and Colm Meaney have been lined up to play the lead roles in the US version of hit BBC drama Life on Mars." Ah, fuck.
The changing face of game publicity
Speaking of Bioshock, I really wanted to say something about the way they’ve handled the promotion of this game on the internet. Over the last few months, they have managed to create a huge, tight internet community before the game has even come out. It’s a pretty spectacular achievement, so let’s think [...]
