The Doctor has been getting younger and younger over time. I wonder how they'll explain this reversal.

I think Randy Pitchford of Gearbox came to Telltale to make a Borderlands game in their style. That's what it seemed like from the interview with Randy and a guy from TellTale at the VGX awards last year. I was playing Borderlands 2 today and thought it's going to be really cool to see what Telltale is going to do with Borderlands. Yes, Borderland's characters are kinda silly and simple, but TellTale is going to do their own thing, with their own new characters (according to that interview I mentioned). I think they will add depth to the story in Borderlands. I can't wait.

I've read some of the comics based on Dead Space and I think that would be a really cool TellTale game.

Of course, they could do all the comics I love too like Atomic Robo, Wasteland and The Massive. I would love that. 

How about KOTOR? Oh my would that be cool!

Oh and Venture Bros.. Heck yeah!

I was thinking today that movie makers just put whatever they think is in the public mind in their movie, controversial or not. They just want familiar stuff there. 

I was thinking about scifi today too and I think my frustrations are that I'm a little too used to the conventions of the genre and not surprised by it anymore. But there was Snowcrash and Neuromancer which both seemed fresh and interesting to me this past year.

Cool!

I've been wondering about this time of year for movies. All the Underworld movies (ones often compared to I, Frankenstein) were released at this time of year. What is it with January and Goth fantasies?

Nintendo is so stuck in its ways. They should have done this app thing to promote its games years ago. That they are not actually bringing new games, but only demos and videos of their console games, shows how unwilling they are to embrace what a whole lot of people, especially kids, are already using to play games. Why don't they do something unique with their franchises on these touch devices?They just want to control both hardware and software but the public is moving to phones and tablets and not buying Wii-U game pads or 3DSs as recent sales have shown (or at least not with the numbers Nintendo wants). You have to adapt or be left behind Nintendo.

I was thinking today that maybe 'cause I've read so many scifi and fantasy books in my life that I'm questing for something really out there. I say, go over my head writers, I want a challenge. Give me something that's not about the recent future of cutting edge technology or about current politics in a scifi setting.

I think they're trying to undermine the Spartan II program to make way for characters with faces for TV and Film. MC is a video game character. He doesn't translate well to film because you never see his face and he barely talks. He's perfect in a game where you become him and it's all about the action anyway. For film, or this upcoming Speilberg TV show (if it happens), he's too distant and annonymous. They're going to throw MC and Halsey and the whole Spartan IIs out the window and try and foist on us new characters we can see and respond to. It's wholly un-game-like (need a new word for this). 

Basically, I see Halo as an action movie with a stoic hero who quips one liners and blows stuff up. They could just do that, but instead they will probably do something like Star Trek Next Gen or Battlestar Gallactica to try and capture a wider audience. For my money, there's too much talking and romance in those shows for my taste.

I remember being the passenger seat of a moving car while trying to play LocoRoco and getting really nauseus and laughing about it. I had to stop eventually 'cause I thought I was going to barf. Maybe it was the combination of the moving car and playing the game?

Thanks for reminding me. I forgot to add inFamous to my backloggery page. Now maybe it'll come up next time I choose a game at random to play.

Yes, it was the same one. That Target app sounds cool. I'll remember that when Behemoth's Satanist album comes out next month.

I got serious motion sickness playing LocoRoco on PSP. It was hilarious. The shifting horizon lines in the game must've done it. Funny though, I don't get sea sick and apparently you get that from the same thing, shifting horizon lines.
