Seriously, How Old Is The Blonde One?

          Okay, I've got a question: How old do you think the blonde chick in this book is? I thinks she looks X age but the book says she is Y age. I don't want to lead anyone's answer so I'm not giving away the book's title or author or what I think and what the book claims. Because maybe I'm crazy and everyone in the world thinks she's Y age.
          So, tell me your answer. I scanned a bunch of picture from the book. Man, this drove me crazy while I was reading the book. Anyway, the rest of the pictures are after the jump.

P.S.: My 100th post!

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Reannounced

          Just some quick bullets.

          UPDATE 1 (12/15/11): The Truth Behind Rising video added after the jump.

• Platinum Games (Bayonetta and Vanquish) is now handling the game design while Kojima Productions will still be handling the story, characters, and the cut-scenes.
• The original team couldn't find balance between the stealth and action or an identity. Hideo Kojima stopped the project until he brought in Platinum Games who saved it.
• Has a new story that is now taking place after MGS4 instead of in-between MGS2 and MGS4. This was to give Platinum much more freedom.
• Platinum Games is really quick with coming up with new ideas and do it.
• The game will focus on action--Cutting and how good it feels to cut.
• The Zan-datsu (Cut and take) element is still there, but is no longer a main part of the game. It's optional now.
• Quinton Flynn is reprising his role as Raiden and Kris Zimmerman, Voice Direction Goddess, will be the voice director.
• Raiden seems to have fallen back to his Jack the Ripper self ("He sounds like the Devil!").
• The game will run at 60fps.
• Hideki Kamiya will not be the director. The director will be announced in due time.
• Yuji Korekado will be the producer.
• Not a part of the Metal Gear Solid series (I'm thinking this means it's non-canon, but not exactly confirmed)
• It a Metal Gear game, but is a complete new Metal Gear experience
• Will be available for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. PC version may have been dropped.
• Playstation 3 is the lead platform.

          A extended trailer is on the new Kojima Productions Metal Gear site (add your memories!): http://www.metalgearsolid.com/. More pictures after the jump. Also, check out the KP Report Session 152 for more info. (The KP Report is a great podcast by the way! I've been listening to it for years now.)

Fumito Ueda Leaving Team Ico

          Fumito Ueda is leaving Team Ico after the completing of The Last Guardian. Gamasutra has confirmed from Sony. This is really sad, but I'm sure that Team Ico and Mr. Ueda will both go on to make great things. Mr. Ueda along with made the brilliant Ico and Shadow of the Colossus for PS2 (Both games you should own, but don't!). The Last Guardian is still on its way (some time in the foreseeable future...) with Fumito Ueda at the helm.

          See some of The Last Guardian trailers after the jump.

DmC: Devil May Cry Looks Good

DmC's new protagonist: Derek

         I final watched the two new DmC trailers and they look good. Really good. There's a little bleakness and some weird aerial animation (in that Dante Derek can stay in the air a really long time), but like they said at the start of the trailer: It's a work in progress. Ninja Theory was a good choice for an outside company to take over Devil May Cry. The graphics look nice and COLORFUL and Ninja Theory always has great art direction.

Year End Photo Ops + My Signed Copy Of Skyrim Came In Today!

          I won a signed copy of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim earlier this week and it just came in! That was really awesome. I'm always entering contest, but this is really the first time I ever won before. Woohoo! Thank you RPGamer and Bethesda! Anyways, these are a couple (define a couple) of pictures I've been taking lately. Feel free to browse through them. More after the jump.

Best Quote of the Week ~ [12/4/11]: Think Different Edition

          "I want to put a ding in the universe."

Steve Jobs

Think Different Commercial

Steve Jobs talks about the Crazy Ones - who think different

          "Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes...the ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, 'bout the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things -- They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."

Rest in peace Steve Jobs

To us living... be bold enough to dream, think different.

Funimation will be releasing the anime on Blu-ray and DVD February 28, 2012. They have also provide us with a sample of the English voice cast through the trailer below (I like Tsukimi's voice, but Kuranosuke's voice seems to bit too masculine at times). Watch the show's intro after the jump.

          The cast for the dub is as follows:

• Tsukimi - Maxey Whitehead
• Kuranosuke - Josh Grelle
• Banba - Mariela Ortiz
• Chieko - Cynthia Cranz
• Jiji - Leah Clark
• Mayaya - Monica Rial
• Clara - Lara Woodhull
• Shu - Ian Sinclair
• Inari - Jamie Marchi
• Koibuchi - Charlie Campbell
• Negishi - Jerry Russell
• Hanamori - Christopher Bevins
• Tsukimi's Mother - Wendy Powell

UPDATE 1 (6/3/12): I complete forget this came out! Buy it here: Amazon Link

UPDATE 2 (6/4/12): You can watch the first two episodes of the English dub on Funimation's website free here.

I'm loving the background music in this trailer

Still Here, After Wednesday Night (Beta) Update 4

My game is an old school adventure with hopefully the fell of classic
Silent Hill or Resident Evil (on a very small scale).

          I added a huge redesign to the game's save/load/continue system today! Not only can you make multiple save files, but you can also delete them within the game. On top of that, the whole save/load interface (if you can called it that) is snazzier and hopefully user-friendly. Other than that, there are some small changes and additions. I haven't yet extensively tested out the save/load/continue system, but I'm still pretty confident I got all the bugs out. This game is still a Beta as there is one more HUGE special feature I want to add. It's going to take little while to do and I have finals coming up, so maybe when I start my break. The links to download the files are below. I've added pictures of my game after the jump.

UPDATE 1 (12/5/11): Added in-game loading, a few minor fixes, as well as some minor additions and some more pictures below. Enjoy. (P.S. Only the program file has been updated)

UPDATE 2 (7/14/12): The game is no longer in Beta. The current version is 5.1.0.1, which you can download for free: Here. Enjoy.
