(More) Surprises Indeed
- And one last thing, and I sign of things to come, is a quote from a recent article on Yahoo news from the UK, about the PS3:
- I finally got a new TV; a while back I realized that the reason why I wasn’t playing too many games wasn’t due to there not being enough time (I’m super busy, but dammit, I can make the time to play games), but my TV being blurry, which is okay for general television and movie viewing, but a real headache if you’re trying to read hi-res text. So I treated myself to a 27 inch flat screen Toshiba. Its super huge and rather nice.
The whole thing was a colossal and abysmal bore fest. Even though I knew it was going to be a transitional show, and therefore didn’t expect either Sony or Nintendo to have anything playable, it was still rather clear that no one was truly prepared for the event. Microsoft perhaps being the best example of this; they went in looking like total winners to some, on a loud and noticeable (and rather obnoxious) hype train, and went out looking like damaged goods to a certain degree. For example, as each post-E3 day passes, more and more evidence appears showing that MS really had no plans to support backwards compatibility whatsoever, and were probably totally shocked to see it become such a hot topic (hence why their initiative is so noticeably messy and awkward). J Allard’s comparison of the current and next generation of gaming hardware to VCRs and DVD players, in which he claims that no one watches VHS anymore when they have DVDs, is total bullshit and further evidence that MS is going into next-gen war far too overconfidently. Its one thing for a company to spew whatever PR propaganda about such and such system and how its gonna rock the world, but to actually believe it, with no real games to back it up, is a sign of real trouble. Again, it could be argued that the Xbox360 isn’t about the games but delivering content in a dynamic fashion, something which folks have been trying back since the days of the 3D0 and have failed, mostly due to it being ahead of its time, maybe it finally is time, but I’d rather go with someone who knows a thing or two about content, and Microsoft is not on that list.
- Its really weird how the DS ended up having such a really good showing, since most people consider it dead in the water. I too had lost all faith in Nintendo’s “third pillar” thanks to the PSP, but its months later and there’s still only three games worth owning (once again, Lumines, Ridge Racers, and Wipeout Fusion) and it looks to stay that way for the next few months if the E3 is any indication. Meanwhile, there’s more than just Nintendogs to look forward to, and my desire to get the machine has been rekindled, thanks in large part with Mario & Luigi 2 and the new Sonic game. Speaking off…
- After a particularly long and stressful week for both of us, MK & I spent the weekend holed in my place in Brooklyn to avoid the idiot populace at large. Plus we did plenty of BBQ-ing (even when it ran Saturday night!) and MK finally up to speed on Trailer Park Boys. Plus she finally got to play Pikmin 2 which I got specifically for her.
“As an example of the advances being made, Pearson noted that Sony’s new PlayStation 3 computer games console is 35 times as powerful as the model it replaced, and in terms of processing is “one percent as powerful as a human brain”.
- One real surprise was word that Kojima was returning to the position of director for Metal Gear Solid 4. Yeah, I know he said the same thing before part 3, but then he had something to prove (to “make up” for MGS2). But with easily one of the best games this generation under his belt, I figured he was serious about moving on. Maybe we’ll still see a Zone of the Enders 3.
- Besides the whole Xbox 360 BC debacle, its funny to see that people are also still bitching about the Spider Man font being used for the PS3 (can’t say I blame them). Now I really wish that fake logo was the real thing. Also, that crappy new controller? It had a sign right next to it on the display floor stating that its a work in progress. Hey, if Sony is smart, they’,hermes belts;ll listen and get that thing changed back to the Dual Shock that everyone knows, which was damn near perfect, so why the change?
- So you want to know how small the Game Boy Micro really is? Well here’s a handy chart. Sorry, but that’s too small for me.
- In addition to the new TV, I did plenty of other shopping, mostly DVDs. Seasons 3 and 4 of Futurama are on their way, as well as season 4 of the Simpsons, and the 2nd SCTV collection thanks to eBay. I picked up season 5 of the Simpsons at Target for the cheap, plus some bunny ears so I can finally watch local TV (and it doesn’t make my new TV look nearly as ghetto as I though it would). I was gonna put a stop on the DVD buying, but when I was at J&L earlier today since I had some time on my hands (I went to City Hall to get out of jury duty, and chatting it up with the clerk about games really did a lot for me to help speed the process), and noticed that the whole collection of Mr Show, including seasons 1+2, 3, and 4 were mislabeled for just the price of season 4, and the sales clerk didn’t notice. Sweet! So with the money I saved, I may as well buy more DVDs!
– Xbox 360 premieres, underwhelms people; the Perfect Dark Zero debacle becomes a poster child for them.
– PS3 premieres, people go ga-ga over the graphics, the console and controller design makes everyone cringe, wacky Photoshops commence.
– Nintendo’s press conference bores everyone to tears, with too much DS for some, not enough Revolution for most, plus a new Zelda trailer.
– Everyone fights over PS3 trailers about them being pre-rendered or not, the concession being that its all in game graphics but just heavily scripted
– A super tiny GBA is revealed.
– Some rather neat DS games are shown.
– Hardly any PSP games are present
– In fact, there’s no real breakout games, at least any surprises
– Microsoft has a hard time keeping the facts regarding backwards compatibility straight as crazy rumor and speculation runs rampant. Damage controls is so bad for MS that J Allard gets upstaged from the spastic guy from on of G4’s video game review shows.
- Someone on a message board claiming Nintendo will reveal a shocker on Thursday (a.k.a. “Thursdayton”), and for some reason, tons of people believe this to be for real and gets them all excited. Not surprisingly, nothing happens. A fanmade vid featuring a fictitious console, the NintendoON, is somehow used as ammo. Then folks start thinking that the person, who call himself Aries at first, which later becomes Dark-something, might actually be Reggie trying to stir shit up.
- Plus, with a decent TV at last, I finally played some of the Xbox games that I’ve had for almost years now. For the past few nights its been nothing but OutRun 2.
- Actually, E3 was a really weird show, with Sega creating such strong buzz due to their tech demos. Unfortunately, there are no good sources to see the video, but I have seen a “good as its gonna get” version of the presentation, and it looked totally hot. Basically, it starts with footage from a mech game which is coming out for 360 that looked pretty nice. Then you see two Virtua Fighters, and they’re easily the nicest looking and moving fighter game characters I personally have ever seen. Next was what looked to be a next-gen version of the classic Afterburner which looked totally insane. You just have to see it. And the whole thing ended with Sonic running and jumping and the such, which again looked super sharp, though it has to be said that he’s looked equally awesome in recent 3D Sonic titles, but playing them hasn’t been nearly as fun. Hence why the new DS game seems to promising; its 2D for starters.
So the question must be asked: why was E3 such a bomb this year? Not cuz “OMG, the industry is doomed!!!” or some other nonsense. The first answer is because there was no real surprises, and you can blame that on everyone spilling the beans before the show technically began (once again, nice job MS). But the main one is its not about hardware, its all about the games, stupid, and again, there was nothing really new on that end. No big shockers, no massive title that blew everyone away, hell, not even a completely out of the blue niche title that demands attention. Katamari 2 was present, and it managed to make everyone who play it fall in love, which is awesome, but thats hardly a shocker. And once again, I’m glad Odama is still coming. Though sadly, it seems Shadow of the Colossus had some major technical issues. At least Okami is shaping up very nicely. As for most people’s game of the show? Granted, I also think the Zelda looks killer, I still sorta miss the Wind Waker look and caliber of movement. Plus, the official word is Mario 128 is a Revolution title; hardly a surprise, but still disappointing. Will it be mario 256 then? is the Revolution a 256 bit machine? I don’t know.
But enough MS ranting and raving; as for the rest of the show, here’s a basic rundown, from top to bottom:
Meanwhile, in the real world:
- Otherwise, the show was indeed a real downer, and I’m sorta glad I didn’t go. Hell, even the swag wasn’t that hot from what I’ve seen. I mean, I could give a rat’s ass about those 360 faceplates (even though others feel differently). Though if Carmen my editor at Nick Mag got me anything, I ain’t exactly turning any of it down either! Hopefully either she, or Job or George managed to nab for me one of those super keen Katamari mouspads.
A few other E3 related tid-bits:
And with that is the opening salvo for ridiculous assumptions of next-gen hardware. Anyone remember the B.S. about the PS2 being able to render all the special effects for Episode 1 or being classified as a super computer and therefore it being “too dangerous” to get in the hands of the Chinese or Saddam Hussein? Well, I guess it officially begins…
________________________________________________________________________________
So E3 is finally over with. I know I said that I would discuss the show in greater detail once it was finished, but really, what’s the point? What can I say that hasn’t been said?
- Still feeling sorta shitty. Had to cancel my scheduled meeting with Nelson tonight to talk about our game. We’ll get the chance to chat after our Gamoids (IGDA NY) meeting tomorrow night. Speaking off, I finally got my IGDA membership card in the mail yesterday (was wondering what the hold up). Plus my TATE shirt finally arrived. Fuckin’ A! Too bad, I don’t actually have it; I have to have all my packages delivered to Jason’s place of work since since stuff seems to go “missing” in the SVA mailroom…
- Something which got plenty of folks interested, including one of the guys in PixelJump, was the possibility of Nintendo reaching out to indie developers. Well, it seems that it really did sound too good to be true.
… And that was the point where I just gave up on following the show and opted to wait it out till after the weekend. This year’s event was riddled with so much out of control speculation and flat out lies that after spending over an hour tracking the whole Aries story, I realized how much time was being wasting, turned off my Mac and started to watch the rest of my season 2 Futurama box set. Then after about five minutes, I realized that turning off my computer killed some torrents, so I had to do a restart.

Field study in the environs of the nuclear power plant Gundremmingen in Germany
In 2001 a group of German anti-nuclear activists, Forum e.V. gemeinsam gegen das Zwischenlager und f??r eine verantwortbare Energiepolitik (United against intermediate-range nuclear storage and for a responsible energy policy), asked me to join their forces to fight a planned intermediate-range storage facility for nuclear waste near the nuclear power plant Gundremmingen, which is northeast of the medieval town of Ulm. Together with a biologist, I would collect and study Heteroptera leaf bugs from the area and establish field study protocols and maps ??” pro bono, of course.
It is possible to combine art, science and activism. Check out the illustrations! They are gorgeous, albeit disturbing since they depict insects with deformities due to radioactive exposure. The title of the web site is Wissenskunst, a word coined by William Thompson, combining Knowledge – Wissenschaft is the German word for Science –,hermes belts; and Art.
Here is a link to the bugs she found in the U.S.

Monday SFe-NYC
In the evening I walked 20 blocks to dinner in lovely Fall weather, much warmer than one would expect. Music from an event outside Lincoln Center wafted across the street, which was packed with people. Nice to be in Manhattan.
Left Santa Fe on Sunday evening to stay at a hotel near the Albuquerque airport, because our flight left at 6:30AM on Monday morning. Apparently La Quinta is Spanish for bad customer service as we had made a reservation for first floor rooms – so we would not have to carry luggage up and down at 4:30AM – but that had either not been communicated to the franchise or they did not care. In any case we ended up with rooms on the second floor and since the elevator was a mile away we ended up carrying cases up and down the stairs…
Woke up at 4AM on Monday morning and at 4:30AM started hauling the cases down. The flights to New York were uneventful, but it was interesting to note that Continental Airlines boards their planes much earlier than,hermes belts, say, United or American. I mostly fly United or American and they seem to board around 20-30 minutes prior to departure. Continental started boarding 50 minutes prior to departure. In fact the plane was already full before the food and drink carts were even delivered.

So, How Does It Work on the Bus
David Byrne on touring. We tour in a similar fashion, minus the hotel rooms. We get a hotel room every once in a while, usually on a travel day or day off, and sleep in the bunks. David Byrne may be a smaller fish than U2, but he is a much bigger fish than OL + LN.
David Byrne Journal: 08.08.09: Edinburgh — So, How Does It Work on the Bus?
I went for a walk in a sheep pasture this afternoon and wondered to myself why it is that friends and acquaintances ALWAYS, without fail, marvel at how we get around by bus, while journalists NEVER ask about such pragmatic or mundane matters.
Then again, maybe we (((speaking of most touring bands))) trimmed some fat off of touring. While the musicians and crew may hear the difference between carrying sound equipment of a certain quality to every venue, the audiences do not generally hear that difference.
Here is a point I haven’t seen anybody make: from the Sixties to the late Nineties, buying CDs (or cassettes or LPs) was not unlike supporting a museum or funding the military with taxes, like building roads from gasoline taxes, in that the many people buying albums funded what the concert-going audience exerienced. Many people bought albums, which enabled bands to tour at a loss or barely breaking even. Concerts were seen as advertising and most acts did not expect to make money touring. In fact,hermes belts, as David Byrne mentioned, touring was often supported by advances from the record labels (((which had to be paid back by the artist, of course!))).
We saw a lot of other tourbusses on the road this Summer. Many of them were pulling trailers with gear. Bands might have used an 18-wheeler to carry band-gear, lights and sound equipment ten years ago, but now many use the venues’ lights and sound and only carry what fits into a trailer, pulled by the bus.
On touring to sell albums:
In the past, live shows were viewed as loss leaders to sell albums, but I doubt that too many folks believe that anymore… though shows do make people a teeny bit aware of a new record. Record companies who espoused the loss leader approach used to advance money to up and coming acts to cover tour losses — but I don’t know anyone who does that now.
My point is that because bands sold a lot more albums in the Nineties, they could afford to carry their own lights and sound, a number of roadies and roll down the highway in two or more busses. One might say they could put on a better show then, since they had funding in form of album-sales. Take away the album sales in the 21st Century and suddenly most bands have to tighten the belt. So, while people save 15 bucks on buying an album that they can find for free on the interwebs, it also means they reduce the money a touring act can spend on their show. Like with taxes, many paid for the concert-going enjoyment of some. I am guessing that the people who used to experience a tour represented maybe 10% of the people who bought the album.

Wired 14.05: The Next Green Revolution
Americans trash the planet not because we’re evil, but because the industrial systems we’,hermes belts;ve devised leave no other choice. Our ranch houses and high-rises, factories and farms, freeways and power plants were conceived before we had a clue how the planet works. They’re primitive inventions designed by people who didn’t fully grasp the consequences of their actions.

hermes handbags Chanel FW 2009 Bags
The fall/winter 2009/2010 collection from Chanel is now available in Chanel boutiques. Channeling the winter months, Chanel brings in heavy materials, tweed, and a splash of color with the perfect green and pink. The leather shoulder strap on the green and pink tweed bags is a departure from the classic chain strap, yet I find myself wanting to see the tweed bag with a chain strap rather than smooth leather strap (like the last photo below).
