1. James Rolfe drops the “Angry” persona again to discuss Ghostbusters 3, now said to be a CG movie, and whether or not that’s a good idea.

   I’m in agreement with him here, though I’m not completely opposed to a CG version, but maybe part of that is because I enjoyed the animated series so much. You know, before Slimer took over and the Ghostbusters became sidekicks.

   And speaking of which, wouldn’t mind if they went to the uniquely-colored costumes. Sure, some people might not dig that, but sometimes it helps to easily recognize who’s who without seeing faces or whatever.

   The “skip ahead x amount of years” idea has an appeal, too. Actually, the animated versions did that as well when they made Extreme Ghostbusters some years ago, except Winston, Ray, and Peter got on with their lives after paranormal activity dropped off the map, leading to Egon (now a professor at the University) recruiting some students to be the new Ghostbusters. But, the old crew got back together for the would-be finale, at least.

   Not that I really got to see the show, but I wish I had, having read up on it.

   On a final “bustin’ makes me feel good” high note, wouldn’t a game where you use the Wii remote as a proton pack and the nunchuck to toss and trigger a ghost trap have the potential to kick ass?

2. Mr. Rolfe has also reviewed The Simpsons Movie, which is pretty much spoiler-free.
3. Remember these old AT&T ads?

   Hey, AT&T… are we there yet? And how responsible were you for those that have happened?

   For those wondering, this stemmed from a topic showing off SeaQuest DSV‘s look at the future, and other takes on the internet and the future from not too very long ago.

4. GameSpot has a nice feature on how to upgrade the hard drive of your PS3.

   That is, assuming you have one. I don’t, so… anyway.

   I wonder if this is giving Hirai and Tretton any sort of fits.

5. So… just how is that multiplayer in Mario Strikers Charged, anyway?
6. Well damn.

   According to an ad on 1up, it seems that someone apparently has Jen, and they want to know what I’m going to do about it. But I clicked the “Skip Ad” link too quickly, and missed the rest. And this is one of those ads that only get you on the first time through, going back misses it entirely.

   What AM I going to do about it?
