Points of Interest – 6/22/07
- Screw “reality TV.” We need more game shows that are like this.
- This is regretful, though perhaps more for me than most reading this.
R.I.P., Ask Ian, and I’m sorry for any contribution to the pain and suffering which I may have inadvertently caused. I tried cutting back on any unneccessary chit-chat to spare things, but I see it wasn’t enough.
On the bright side, at least I can say that I got to name the final edition. That’s got to count for something.
- Michael Keaton. Val Kilmer. George Clooney. Christian Bale.
Even the almighty Mayor of Quahog, Adam West.
Posers, all of them. When it comes to Batman, there is only one man who fits the job to a T.
Anyone who grew up in the 90s knows that it’s Kevin Conroy, who talks to Newsarama a bit here about his long-running gig as the voice of the Dark Knight.
- Atomic Fire has found an awesome new wallpaper at Capcom of Japan’s site that celebrates 20 years of the Blue Bomber with a nice group shot of the chief protagonists from each series (though one of the ZX’s are missing).
And if you missed it before, there’s another wallpaper image there with many more characters all piling out of the Gesellschaft.
- ScrewAttack.com’s Video Game Vault goes back… to the year 1941, with one of the most ironic games ever made: a Japanese-produced game that involves you taking the role of an American pilot to shoot down Japanese planes in World War II.
Yeah, someone didn’t quite think that one all the way through. Fun game, though.
- A new trailer for Penny Arcade‘s game, On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, a game critics are already calling “a game from Penny Arcade” (hey, don’t look at me, they said that).
Certainly an intriguing title, with fun graphics and themes, and even a create-a-player feature.
- You really just have to wonder what PR are thinking sometimes.
Case in point: The worst official screenshots ever. These are supposed to get people excited?
- A tiny peek at the just-announced Contra IV.
And it’s still enough to get me excited.
- Great, now Go Nintendo is ripping The Mega Man Network’s art as well.
- A new peek at the fangame Mega Man: New Horizon.
Hope they get this polished up more. But at least the premise is neat.
- Joystiq scores an interview with the creators of the Nintendo Short Cuts contest winners, the creators of “Good vs. WiiVil.”
- You’ve no doubt heard about them, perhaps even seen countless screenshots of them.
But now, in case you’re like me and just never actually BOTHERED to look it up, here’s the infamous scene from the Pokemon anime involving James and his bigger-than-Jessie’s inflatable breasts.
Don’t worry, it’s tame stuff. I’m sure Bugs Bunny and Donald Duck and whoever else have done FAR worse in their day.
- Lots of Nintendo papercraft.
I need to invest in some quality printing paper…
