Leave it to SQUARE again to ignore us and focus on the Japan again. Check your local comic shop if you are interested, we pulled this from this month's Previews. Yes, I said comic shop. There is no chance in hell you'll see this at a Gamestop or a Gamecrazy. This work of art will set you back $420 bones. While that may seem steep, it is still cheaper than a sealed copy of Valkrie Profile for PS2.

If you are a fan of or remember the original Nintendo advertising, you know that the structure of this spot is dead on. Nit pickers may say that the graphics would have been better and kind of resemble Atari 7800 graphics. But, those people are nerds. Sorry nerds.
*P.S. Why can't you shoot Heroin in GTA? Or any drug for that matter? Saint's Row did it, but that may be because Jack Thompson has never played Saint's Row so the media ignored it?

Here's some various bits of MMO news that I find interesting. If you disagree, then you are wrong.
Tabula Blogger is running a competition to have a sketch of your Tabula Rasa character done by one of the artists at NCSoft. Very cool.
Activision, Vivendi have pulled out of E3. They are apparently holding a separate press event the same time as the first day of E3. I'd love to know what is going on here. It is known now that Blizzard has amicably acquired the domain diablo3.com, also they are working on another unannounced MMO, so speculation is running wild!
Massively.com has an interesting article about the use of virtual worlds being used as an aid in addiction therapy. Suck it Jack Thompson, or maybe you want to tell my mommy on me? You worthless rectal wart.
Ending on a high note, WarCry Network has a good preview up on Stargate Worlds. Go over and give it a read, and if you haven't already, sign up for the Stargate Worlds beta test.
That's all for now. Liberty City is calling ...

I Formally Invite BioWare to Kiss My Ass |

Read the article here, then follow along for my commentary.
First of all, to BioWare, here ya go buddy!
Let me just say that I was looking forward to Spore. I would probably have bought it the first day. Now I don't care if the game comes with coupon for a free hummer from Tricia Helfer. I wouldn't buy this  ing game for anything.
I am ing sick to death of being treated like a goddamn criminal by media companies that I have given my hard-earned money to in good faith for their product. I have bought BioWare products in the past and enjoyed them very much. I will no longer buy your crap, since I will have to prove to you over and over again that I am not stealing what I have paid for.
In the 14 years that I have owned my truck, never once has Ford ever come to me and demanded to see my title. Never once has Hitachi demanded to see the receipt for my TV. Never once have I had to prove to Roomfull Express that I am the rightful owner of my living room sofa, or else they would not let me sit on it any more.
Don't you bastards go and blame EA for this either. Everybody already knows they suck donkey balls, especially with their onerous copy prevention bullshit. I already went a few rounds with those assholes over a game that I paid for (Battle for Middle Earth) not running on my system because I dared to install a DVD burner on my computer.
You, BioWare smacktards, you disappoint me greatly. Mostly because ...

Collector's Watch: R-Type Command "Figurine"? |

Umm, "figurine" sounds weird for a spaceship - how about "scale model"? Yeah, that sounds better...
Anyway, Atlus announced today that if you buy R-Type command from select retailers, you'll get a bonus scale model of the R-9 spaceship, compliments of IREM
So far, the only retailer I've seen offering the scale model is GameStop -if you're looking to get your hands on one...

It took me less time to beat MGS than it did to install the MGSO Beta |

I'm guessing that the traffic that took down the PSN today started late last night. Figuring that no one would be playing the Metal Gear Solid Online last night and knowing that Musashi said it would take awhile I started the process around 7pm.
At 12:03am I finished installing the last update. Only to find that my Konami ID wasn't valid somehow. So after 5 hours, I didn't even get to try it. Every cloud has a silver lining, so here are the two things I learned.
- No matter what PSN says, the torrent is slower.
- The user interface for the Konami ID site sucks ass.
Get yours early, you'll need it come June.
