So I just watched the trailer to Kung Fu Panda…
Thank you Bioware. Just thank you.
Wondering what is on the horizon for superstar developers Bioware? Well, in addition to a new MMO, Dragon Age and more Mass Effect, they are currently working with LucasArts to deliver to us another Knights of the Old Republic. Yes, that’s right. The new KotOR will indeed be a stand alone game and not the MMO that people thought it would be. Hot dog, I am so excited for this game. Bioware pretty much never disappoints (and I do mean never) so I am looking forward to this. I’ll even go out on a limb and say that this game will be tremendously successful. You heard it here folks. KotOR III will be awe-inspiring. If any, and I do mean any, news sprouts out, then I will report it to you.
A speaker that makes you vomit.
Inferno’s speaker blaster carries with it a unique function. You see, it can generate a sound that is between the range of 2 to 5 kilohertz which, as the creator describes, is no louder than 120 dB (equal to a standard alarm sound). However, this baby is unique because the sound is described as being the most worst sound you could possibly hear and will indeed make you vomit if exposed to it. And it does this without ever damaging your ears. Sounds like a good burglar alarm. But only if you were out of the house that is.
Fox to halt Watchmen.
Fox is suing Warner Bros. for unspecified damages in order to halt the Watchmen production due to a tiny little issue. You see, Fox still owns the rights to the DC comic and it has yet to be paid. Huh? Shouldn’t this have been resolved before the filming actually started? Why now? Both Fox and Warner Bros. have basically stuck a knife in the backs of all the fans who have been waiting patiently for this to come out and now, we aren’t sure when it will come out. Sigh. Let’s hope this gets resolved quickly so that both parties and the fans come out smiling.
Yipes! Pick of the Week (late edition) 2-13-08
Sorry for the delay folks, my mind must have been elsewhere. Here is my (delayed) pick of the week!
Comics – The Darkness is the one of the most highly anticipated comic books to return in a long time. It had massive success and really put Top Cow on the map. Now, with a successful game to add under their belt, Top Cow has decided to bring back this wonderful series to continue the adventures of our favorite Mafia hitman, Jackie Estacado. The visuals are of the same Top Cow excellence and the story seems intriguing. Top Cow doesn’t usually disappoint and I look forward to this comic.
Electronics - Plantronics’ new Explorer 370BT is quite possibly the most rugged earpiece I have seen (for now). This baby is made to withstand dust, water, minor impact and coated with rubber. With built in noise-filtering technology, eight days of stand-by time and seven hours of talk time, it seems to have everything you need in a headset. So be sure to check it out.
Games – Lost Odyssey came out yesterday and I had the chance to try it and I have to say that I was impressed. Sure, it may be the same old story, with the same old characters that you expect in a RPG. And sure, it may have been very cliche in its battle system and the such. But it got to me because it never tried to be anything else but a throwback to the classic RPG’s that we love (at least me). The visuals were great and overall it seemed like a good game. Not saying its the greatest, but you should definitely at least check it out.
Movies – Jumper is coming out tomorrow and yes, I know that I have yet to see it so this pick seems kind of hasty. However, I believe that it will be a good movie and the casting seems great (despite people hating on him, I like Hayden). The premise is something that I haven’t seen in films and Samuel L. Jackson is in it. What could go wrong?
There we have it. The (late) Picks of the Week! Be sure to tune in next week for hopefully a (on time) Pick of the Week! Until then!
