My brother-in-law was an animator for that movie.  He said the Thriller extra they did was the most fun they had during production.

So apparently at 12:01 Some time zone an embargo will be lifted regarding information pertaining to one of the next-gen consoles. It'll be interesting to see which one it is, and if the news is actually significant.

If my mind doesn't decieve me, I remember the Wii name being named a week before the E3 press conference. There is one week from the Nintendo Press Conference. Hmm...


EDIT: 12:01 EDT, IGN reports it pertains specifically to the Wii. There is a God, announce a release date so I can wake up tomorrow at 10 and preorder something I've wanted to preorder since January.

perhaps a huge virtual console announcement, like a few big names coming onboard, that way next week they can showcase a few more vc games at the party

CHRONO TRIGGER!? CHRONO TRIGGER!??!!!!

Well, who knows, last time Nintendo did this reveal stuff early thing it ended up with Wii, and well, most people were shocked and horrified. Here's hoping it's more refreshing than Wii.

Maybe they're changing the Wii to "Coochii"

Turns out it is the revelation that the Broadway chip has been in full scale production since July. Thank God, makes it seem less likely that there will be a gigantic delay.

What about the Parkplace chip?

Lame? Yes but I had to.

My Mega Drive is being a knob. I modified it when I got it in about June/July after only briefly testing that it worked.

It turns out there's something wrong with the controls. It's not the pad because it does the same things with all my pads. It can play fine for about twenty minutes but then Button C becomes Start, B becomes C, and A and Start don't do anything.

Wow, pocket monsters is 10 this year, presumably around now. One can only wonder how many millions of copies of a Pokemon title would be sold if it was Online.

I still remember playing Pokemon Blue the summer before freshman year in high school. Seems like such a long time ago, but it was 8 years ago. Sigh.
