I’ve probably posted this before, but this is one of my fave Onion videos.

If our pollution destroys a river we will build a new river.

Oh Jib Jab how did I forget about you?

The production values have definitely gone up over the years.

Apparently the nearest IMAX theatre to D.C. showing Dark Knight is in Philadelphia.

Further evidence that one’s access to awesome is inversely proportional to one’s distance from New York.

Theorem FAIL.

It’s playing at Dulles Aiport.

Fact: I will be at the Thursday night showing. It’s at the ridiculously kick ass Air and Space Museum Annex.

Boss, sorry I was late back to the office, I had to wait for a parade of protesters - complete with marching band - process by before the cops would let me cross the street.

I ran into this coming out of lunch at McCormick and Schmicks today.

Time to finally catch up on E3 coverage

Rather than bother everyone with rambling stream of conscuiousness updates. I’m going to just consolidate it all into one post:

  1. I’m über psyched for Square’s announced line up. I finally finished Lost Odyssey last night I need something JRPGish to fill that void (Hello Chrono Trigger DS.  I’m glad Square is going to start making games again on platforms people own (Read: Square finally realized that single sourcing FFXIII on PS3 is losing proposition as no one owns the system so they need to develop for multiple platforms). Also Star Ocean on 360 looks really promising.
  2. While I’m excited about watching my netflix over my Xbox, can Microsoft at least show a little shame for blatantly ripping off Apple’s coverflow design and Nintendo’s Mii’s? No, didn’t think so.
  3. I’m really excited by the concept of I Am Alive since it’s Obisoft I assume it will pan out pretty well in practice. 
  4. I’m also eagerly awaiting the new Prince of Persia. While Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was one of my favorite games on the original Xbox and they kind of ruined it by trying to make the Prince into a brooding emo kid in the sequels. I hope that by taking this game in a different direction they can get back some of the charm from the First one - although probably not all of it. Actually watching all of this makes me want to go home and boot up Sands of Time on my 360. I also realized that the Sand of Time movie is going to have a pretty awesome cast (including Jake Gyllenhall).
  5. Now that I’ve seen a Hellboy movie I’m really interested in Fallout 3 since Ron Perlman narrates it. I know that he narrated the others in the franchise, but I unfortunately never owned the predescessors.
  6. There’s so many “Guitar Hero” games out there I’m not even going to bother commenting. I think I’ll just stick with Rock Band for now because we’ve already got enough fake instruments in the house.
  7. While there’s going to be at least 1 copy of Gears Of War in the house, I’m not really that excited for it.  I think I’m more looking forward to Fable 2, Resident Evil 5 or even Civilization Revolution
  8. I’m excited for a friend of mine over at Raven software because the game he’s working on, a sequel to Wolfenstein is far enough along this year to get E3 coverage.
