Catching up on links from the last few days...
Funny
See where STAR WARS credits go when they scroll off screen. This is pretty cool, in a home made special FX looking as good as Hollywood way.
Entertainment
RIP Zelda Rubinstein, our favorite movie psychic. Insert joke about "going into the light".
LOST's off-island character coincidences mapped out. This is obsessive nerdism.
Barrie hints at full RED DWARF return. I could swear that I read last year that it was confirmed that there was going to be a full new series of RED DWARF.
Reclusive author J.D. Salinger dies at 91. I remember reading CATCHER IN THE RYE in English class in school. We were supposed to read a chapter every few days or whatever. You know, the way books are read for class in school. I blazed through the whole thing the first day since it was interesting. I even bought a copy eventually.
THE LOSTER killed THE DIRTY DOZEN! Good. Even though it's inevitable, they shouldn't remake THE DIRTY DOZEN. While we're at it, check out the trailer for THE LOSERS. Looks pretty good to me, and the comic was great.
Probably how a meeting about SPIDER-MAN 4 should have gone. Oh yeah!
Steve Carell: I want to star in US version of ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES. I wonder if he's being serious.
Actors Gone Wild
HEROES actor Adrian Pasdar arrested in LA. Bah. Typical celeb trouble. Let's look at something more juicy...
Actor Rip Torn arrested drunk, armed in Conn. bank. Now that is interesting!
Video Games
BIOSHOCK 2's 'Scout' Plasmid, explained. I can't wait for next week. I just checked and Amazon has it as a release date delivery item. That and the $10 games credit made ordering it through them a smart move for me. (Went with the PS3 version.)
GRAND THEFT AUTO IV episodes coming to PlayStation 3, PC. Anybody who didn't think this was going to happen was kidding themselves. I was impatient and grabbed it for the 360, but I wish I held out for the PS3 version. On the 360 the pop-in and disappearing textures drove me nuts. I don't know if the full GTA4 game had that on the 360, but the PS3 version had none of that.
SILENT HILL: SHATTERED MEMORIES Wii vs PS2 FIGHT! Sounds like it's not worth buying the PS2 version. Glad I forgot this even came out then.
SYSTEM SHOCK 2's surprise ending — for Ken Levine, anyway. I bought SYSTEM SHOCK 2 years ago, and never got around to playing more than the first little bit of it. Maybe I should try installing it and giving it a go. (I also own the first one and never played it at all.)
FFXIII development started on PS2, delayed launch by a year and a half. I hope XIII plays like XII which is the only FINAL FANTASY game who's battle system (enemies are visible on screen and don't just suddenly appear every 3 or 4 steps you take) that I could ever stand to play again.
Kojima: “There is no greater crime” than delaying a game. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
HAHA
Feds plan to fight internet piracy like physical piracy. So they plan to fight it completely incompetently and ineffectively?
