I, Miss Geek, would like to extend a personal

DUDE, WHAT THE FUCK?

to Sony and Media Molecule FOR SCREWING IT UP. I don’t know how to explain it in a objective manner so I’ll let these guys do the explaining:

ars technica

Sony and Media Molecule, you are on my SUCK LIST.

I took vacation to play this all day when it was released. I don’t know what’s more sad, me taking the vacation day to do that or you guys for putting offensive Qur’an verses in game. Note. Maybe next time you might want to stick to non-vocal stuff like this:

Castle Crashers theme

or

Brazilian Flower

…Well, I guess it’s back to getting more trophies I suppose. So! Any one want to play burnout next week?

A long belated post….

Mic check. Is this on? Hello. Hello…

 I’ve been a terrible blogger: amid working to the bone till deadlines, watching my 401k drop quite precipitously and hoping that it will rise again, and watching people get married I guess the blog was the last on my mind. /end_sad_excuse_for_being_a_luddite

Internet, as you can see, I’ve been playing Burnout – massive amounts of it alongside Lego Star Wars and Lego Batman. I’ve had the pleasure to friend some readers from here on the good ol’ PS3 and perhaps soon enough the gaming stars will align and we shall get some sort of game-on of some type. Meanwhile, I’ll forge along and try to get my first platinum trophy before my up and coming birthday.

Otherwise, lets get back into the groove of things. Did I mention I met Yoshitaka Amano? You know, the guy that created the image known from most Final Fantasies? I did, didn’t I? He drew a moogle for Mr. Geek, but what did he draw for me? Ahhh let’s see:

 The convention went well, but was quite small relatively to some past cons I’ve been to. I’m really out of the groove of things when it comes to things anime, but nonetheless I had a fun time. I mean, where else can I see storm troopers shop for kimonos, storm troopers with kitty ears, and three knights from Castle Crashers?

..and no, I did not dress up.

Here’s some rumors to feed into the rumor mill, as I get back into the groove of updating and maintaining this blog:

• A fellow press member from a panel (you can hear him next to me in the video) that I attended brought to my attention that Yoshitaka Amano had directed a part in this movie that is soon to be released state side called 10 Nights of Dreams. It is called Yume Jūya in Japanese and you can hear more about it in this video:

• Amano is also rumored to be hired as a character designer for an upcoming Ubisoft title called Beyond Good & Evil 2 that will come out for Xbox 360 and PS3. Since this is just rumored, I cannot confirm it.

You can watch the video of the panel I attended after the jump.

Rather lukewarm wouldn’t you say?

Some key stuff to take note from the Sony E3 Conference:

• Single Sign On
• “Greatest Hits” to be priced for $30 on all various PS3 titles from launch
• GT-TV for the car enthusiasts out there
• LittleBigPlanet and Home are somewhat delayed but Sony promises it will be worth the wait
• a “life” channel that kind of reminds me of the wii weather and news channel will be out for the PSN
• PSN movie rentals/purchases are up TONIGHT!
• price reduction for the 80 gig PS3

While lukewarm in presentation, the games that were announced show both ends of the spectrum from being not quite original to possibly ground breaking.
