News and my expert opinion...

What makes me an expert you ask? Well, I have a PHD in parapsychology and psychology...no wait, that is Venkman, not me. Anyways.

Angry Douchebags! - What is with this Peter Vesterbacka guy? He makes it hard to give a damn about Angry Birds anymore when he runs around acting like a dick. First there was the GDC debacle where he said you "have to forget publishers" if you are making "serious games." Because throwing various species of silly BIRDS at green little PIGS is really fucking serious.

He then went on to make an ass of himself when the creator of BOX2D, the free source physics engine that runs Angry Birds, asked him why he had neglected to give the proper credit to this integral part of the game.

He has now come back and claimed that consoles are dying. Never mind that Kinect just made the Guinness Book of World Records for fastest selling game hardware ever… I am sure that was a fluke, Microsoft is certainly dicked.

Prey 2 - This makes me happy. I liked Prey. Of course the whole portal gimmick has now been done and done much better since Prey did it. They are going to need a new spin on it. Maybe they can focus more on the gravity controlling aspect.

These Goddamn Gardeners - Who the fuck shows up at 8am with leaf blowers? I swear they just camp outside my window and turn those puppies up to full blast. We planned on staying up late last night around here to get some WoW time in. We were stunningly successful only to have these guys show up. I suddenly wish I owned a paintball gun.

Wait, I thought publishers should be forgotten - Capcom has said that all sales of Street Fighter 4 for the iPhone for the next week will be donated to disaster relief funds for Japan. They also lowered the price to 99 cents. Go Capcom.

Is it wrong that I secretly like Cosplay? I mean... I would certainly never partake. Would I? Oh dear...
