Sorry for the lack of updates lately, been working on a new project and it’s consumed a lot of time. But fear not, it’s really cool and I should be able to talk about it very soon.
However the podcast may have to continue to take a breather as we see how this new project affects my schedule over time.
In today’s timely episode, we’re not going to speculate on new products like we normally do. Nonsense! Rather, we’re going to report directly on what we’ve played right here at E3. Highlights include:
1) Xbox 360 Kinect, formerly known as Natal.
2) Jones taking a voyeuristic photo of Jessica Chobot.
3) PlayStation Move
…and, in a rare case of me liking something from modern Nintendo…
4) The Nintendo 3DS.
Also includes impressions of Rock Band 3, OnLive service, Nintendo booth’s resemblance to a strip club and much, much more.
We’re back! In this newest, thrilling episode we discuss:
1) The Lost finale. Spoilers abound!
2) Smart Phones and things that are cool about the iPad.
3) Red Dead Redemption, AKA “Grand Theft Horse”. Also, how “Dances with Wolves” isn’t a Western, but “Roadhouse” is.
4) Actors who don’t seem to age, like Keith David and Kevin Kline. (Richard Dreyfuss is not in this club)
5) More Star Wars Episode 1 impressions than you probably care to hear, plus the movies “9” versus “Nine”.
Making a PS3 laptop really wasn’t an “uncharted” course for me.
Here it is, a new PS3 Slim laptop and this time it’s black! With blue accents. Specs:
You can check out more pictures and video below. Remember, if you have a crazy idea and the money, I can make the time!
Where else can you walk by a car and see this in the passenger seat?
Now while I know a lot of you are going to PAX East, I would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone in the Midwest to come to the 2010 Midwest Gaming Classic.
It is being held at the Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel which is on the west-ish side of Milwaukee, right off the interstate. And within range of the MKE airport shuttle. Sweet.
There is all sorts of cool stuff to do including my favorite – loads of free pinball. And arcades too. You can buy all sorts of videogame stuff, hang out with other enthusiasts oh and course… play Bill Paxton Pinball. We’re going to log scores (if you wish) and have a “Best of 4” playoff at the end of each day (via the 4 player mode). Winners will appear on this website and… I dunno… get a signed copy of Possumus Woman or something.
Benheck.com has an entire room this year so be sure to come on down and check us out. Saturday we’re doing a live podcast, then on Sunday I’ve got a panel to discuss the creation of my pinball.
See you all there!
It’s that time of year again! Time to listen to me ramble on about what I think will happen in the gaming industry. For this installment I mostly concentrate on new consoles since I feel this generation is already getting old, well the 360 and Wii at least. Other topics covered are the death of music games without a country savior, 3D games and the Microsoft Natal.
My appearance on the Engadget Show is now online and you can watch it right here.
I haven’t watched it yet, but I recall a) drinking from a Dan Aykroyd skull vodka bottle b) a lot of pinball stuff c) the PS3 laptop d) being too tired at the end of it all to do much drinking on State Street.
Enjoy!
