Wait, Now Star Wars Doesn't Suck?

I mean, damn... if the first three movies had looked like this, I might have actually enjoyed them. Two new trailers from the ongoing E3 conference: The Old Republic and The Force Unleashed II.

Avatar Days

Fun piece shot and finished in only four days (four?? try it in two, baby!!) about MMORPG players living their everyday lives. I love the reveals at the end... click here to watch.

Circuit Breaker (Tribute to Zelda)

Thought this was fun in a retro/goofy kind of way... a tribute to Zelda and other 8-bit nostalgia. Enjoy!

Inception Trailer 3

Wow. I know the details of this movie have been closely guarded for a while now, but last week saw a little bit of the cat getting out of the bag in the form of a third trailer for the upcoming Inception.

Seems like Christopher Nolan can do no wrong at the moment, and this looks like another epic in the making. I'm a huge fan of the music as well... definitely looking forward to seeing this one in July!

Gears of War 3 Trailer!

The strange part? The trailer made its debut last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as part of a visit from Epic Games guru Cliff Bleszinski. Jimmy Fallon? Really?

Release date is one year from now, but you sense the countdown has already started. I know I'm excited! If the step up from the first game to the second is any indication of what to expect, part three should be amazing. I like the fact that everyone just looks weary from the fight. I also like the use of the final title to confirm that this is, in fact, The End of the story.

The real big news, though, is this: 4 PLAYER STORY CO-OP. Hot diggity. Stay tuned for more, I'm sure!

Pixels

This is one of the coolest clips I've seen in a while... so playful, and so well done. Pixels invade New York, and Old School mayhem ensues. Fantastic.

What? I Wanna Be Invisible!

The first of the Ghost Recon games that I played didn't grab me as much as the Rainbow Six: Vegas series, but that was admittedly a few years ago. And I don't remember anything about the ability to become invisible!

Check out the trailer for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, due out this fall... looks like there could be some cool stuff to play with...

Cat Fancy to the Nuts!

LET THE MAN HAVE HIS CHAIR!! YOU'RE BRINGING ALL OF THIS ON YOURSELF!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHY WON'T YOU JUST LET THE MAN HAVE HIS CHAIR???

(Click here to watch the awesomeness.)

Killer Spots: Brink

Found this snooping around on a design site this afternoon... pretty cool little collection of chaos for the upcoming Brink produced by AKQA. Enjoy!

Still Got It.

I've met the man. Mike and I have actually written for the man. And it's great to see that success still hasn't changed the guy who got fired from QVC. Twice. God bless, Mr. Rowe...

R.I.P. Captain Oveur

Avatar vs Pocahontas

Ouch!

Killer Spots: Bioshock 2 Teaser

This was posted to a motion graphics site I visit... forgot how cool it was.

I have a design book from the company that did the launch campaign for the first Bioshock game (I gave one to Brian, too), and some of the concept art is beautiful. Not sure if the same guys did this one, but the bar certainly didn't get lowered any for round two.

There were other spots that used gameplay footage and had more punch, but this was the one that stuck with me the most.

The Final Countdown

"This is a song... a song about counting."

Gotta give it to 'em. This is pretty great. We've taken the stage to the same song, but never like this...

In other news, thanks to everyone who came out this weekend for our performance at the North Carolina Comedy Arts Festival. We always have a great time, and it was really cool to hear from so many people who are fans of the show. Thank you!

From the Lads...

Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday this year. For football fans in the UK, that's Game Day. So what to do?

Puma has a simple, classy, touching solution... send your gal a song from the pub.

Sure, it's a crap song. But don't the ladies love those? I dig the tagline at the top of the site... "They want to be in your arms, you want to be in the stands." Problem solved.

Killer Spots: Dante's Inferno Super Bowl

Already famous/notorious for getting rejected by CBS (the version that will air on Sunday actually ends with "Hell Awaits" instead), the Super Bowl Spot for Dante's Inferno is pretty tight. Great move getting the Bill Withers track... I dig it.

Movie Moments You Didn't Know Were Improvised

Been a while. Saw this list and had to post it for the obvious reasons... courtesy of Spike TV.

Oh yeah, and we're gearing up for our show at the NCCAF in a few weeks. Write it down.

Turn Around...

Don't know how I missed this the first time around, but you've got to love the balls on this guy. I'm just impressed at the effort and the showmanship. Unless he staged the whole thing with a friend of his... in which case, screw 'em both!

Man, am I skeptical, or what? Happy new year, by the way...

A Blushing Virgin Groom

So... some guy in Japan married his video game sweetheart. And I don't mean that he married someone he met online playing video games; he married a character from a video game. She doesn't actually exist.

Insert honeymoon joke here. And by the way, check out some of the reaction videos over on the right... also pretty funny.

Holy Crap

Apparently, this is not a joke. Be sure to check out the controller.
