MoCCA Art Festival 2009

Steve — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 05:30:12 +0000

My first time going and they happened to move it to the Lexington Ave. Armory, which I haven’t been to in over a decade. It was pretty cool, definitely worth the hour I ended up waiting on line because they had to delay the opening. Got to talk to Scott C which was super cool. [...]

Star Trek: To Boldly Go Where Old Franchises Have Gone Before

Steve — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 19:53:40 +0000

When Ed asked me if I was going to the screening last night, I was on the fence whether to go or not. I wasn’t particularly hyped to go see it, plus Zeno Clash/the latest Left 4 Dead update beckons my attention. But the last screening I opted out was Slumdog Millionare and I always [...]

Can’t slow down

Caricature of one of the regulars from memory. I would’ve drawn some reference sketches but the one time I was actually hoping he walk by the desk, he doesn’t.

Resident Evil 5

I’ve been putting off writing about Resident Evil 5 for the past week, because, well… I’ve been too busy playing Resident Evil 5. With the latest iteration, Capcom has took the stellar gameplay that was introduced in the last game, gave it a new coat of paint, and added some new features, picking up on [...]

Watchmen

Steve — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 04:36:54 +0000

With the long history of development hell, I think Watchmen fans are fortunate to get a faithful adaptation of the source material. For better or worse, it’s nearly a direct translation.

It’s interesting to see the book brought to life. (Audience applauded after the prison scalding scene.) But I was always cognizant of watching the [...]

Noby Noby Boy

Steve — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 17:00:06 +0000

Iâ€™ve been trying to come up with an adequate description of Noby Noby Boy. Itâ€™s almost like a blank canvas, in that you make of it whatever you want. There is a goal to increase the length of your female counterpart to reach distant celestial bodies in our universe but itâ€™s slightly detached from the [...]

NY Comic Con 09

Steve — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 03:37:06 +0000

What an utterly exhausting three days. Next year, I’m definitely just sticking with the first two. There were a lot of game companies on hand demoing new product. Pretty surprising as we usually just get the run-off from E3.

As soon as I got in I made a beeline for the Sega booth to play [...]

Mirror’s Edge

Steve — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 04:06:40 +0000

In trying to create a first-person parkour simulator, DICE did exceedingly well. You might not glide gracefully through the landscape as those found in youtube videos, but there is an exhilaration in the freedom of movement you have while navigating the landscape. Adding to that experience, they’ve also nailed down the sensation of speed and [...]

For guns and glory

Steve — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:47:15 +0000

I just finished playing through an indie game called Gravity Bone and urge everyone to give it a try. I don’t want say too much here because it’s definitely one of those experiences you want to go in fresh. It’s a short experience, yet it has such a strong sense of style to it and [...]

Japanese TV comes to Hulu

Steve — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 04:10:22 +0000

Years ago I remember reading about a Japanese show that forced someone to live in a small room and rely on nothing but sweepstakes winnings for sustenance. That show, I’ve found out, is called Susunu! Denpa ShÅnen, and it exemplified the type of inhumane, borderline-sadistic shows we’ve come to think of as synonymous with Japanese [...]
