XBOX ONE: IGN’s Fix
:: Here’s a much simpler, cleaned up overview of everything that happened today with Xbox.
XBOX ONE
:: I’ll be posting my thoughts on the reveal at the end of the day, once I’ve had time to look over it all. Until then, here’s the trailer…
Coffee & Multitasking v.121
1. VALVe ‘EARLY ACCESS’ [GeekyGadgets.com]
We now have another reason to hail Valve as the best name in gaming; project “early access” will give Steam users the ability to buy a game still in the beta stages. Much like Mojang did with Minecraft, this will give fans the ability to play while the game is being developed!
2. DEADISLAND2 STORY [trailer]
DI1 was a near-perfect zombie experience (aside from too many useless/annoying quests) so I wasn’t that interested in a sequel. But seeing how the characters are now being brought back into an ongoing storyline…I’m interested!
3. KOJIMA CONSPIRACY
Now, I haven’t paid attention to the whole FOXHOUND storyline since MetalGear3, but, I’m one of those gamers that’s been on the sidelines watching the story unfold…and this interests me!
First there was the [trailer] back in 09.12 announcing the return of Solid in MGS:GroundZeroes (before MetalGear:Revengeance even hit shelves).
Then at the SpikeGameAwards there was the haunting [trailer] for an unknown game called “Phantom Pain” (that people immediately started calling a new MG game).
Now IGN has posted an interview with an alleged star from PP in which he “accidentally” leaked a connection to MGS…some are even speculating that the interview itself was faked using CGI (I think it gets crazier than that…) you can checkout all their thoughts on it [here].
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? Or are you like me, and have completely lost track of the whole MetalGear time/storyline?
IGN’s History Of: Gears Of War
- Trying so hard to get geared up for tomorrow’s release. I’m friggin stoked, there’s just so many other things happening in life right now it’s hard to remember things like this *shudders at the thought of getting old*
Coffee & Multitasking v.119
1. MEGAN FOX IN TMNT [i09.com]
Yup, Bay and Fox are friends again, and surprise surprise she’s the lead female in his remake of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. While I’m not excited about the film, she is still a total babe. This gives my chance of watching it a +1
2. THE AMAZING GREEN GOBLIN [HollywoodReporter]
Mhmm…seems they haven’t learned from the emo-haired SpiderMan3.
Amazing SpiderMan 2 will now have THREE villains…possibly. While Dafoe will always be the perfect Goblin in my eyes, we now have Rhino, Electro, and Norman Osborn in the mix. Hopefully they’re just setting it up for another film…
3. ENDANGERED TV [IGN.com]
2013’s list of shows being canceled has been released, and I’m not overly shocked by it.
On the verge of cancellation are shows like: CSI:NY, Law&Order:SVU, 90210, Parks And Rec, and Community…which in my eyes died after Season3.
And ones that are definitely cut: The Office (finally), 30 Rock (duh), Last Resort, Fringe, and Gossip Girl.
But you can check out the full list of everything for yourself…
DESTINY: A LAND OF HOPE AND DREAMS
- IGN has dissected Bungie’s newest release, in all it’s splendor.
Coffee & Multitasking v.117
1. ABRAMS + VALVE = HALIFE? [IGN.com]
At today’s DICE summit JJ and VALVe head Gabe Newell hit the stage to talk about how they both hope to one day collaborate on videogames AND movies…
2. MORE STARWARS SPINOFFS [ew.com]
Turns out that Han Solo and Boba Fett will be joining Yoda with their own solo movies. See, this is what I wasn’t looking forward to…Solo NOT being played by Harrison Ford! Buuut a feature length film starring Fett will probably make up for it.
3. LAST OF US REVIEW [video]
IGN gets to play the upcoming third-person-post-apocalyptic-zombie-smuggler game. At E3 this looked great, now it looks amazing!
2013's BIG MOVIE LIST [click]
IGN decided to post a list (including trailers and description) of every major theatrical release, along with most of dates. Here’s what I’M excited for…
Gangster Squad: It’s kinda like an update Untouchables.
The Last Stand / Bullet to the Head: Ahhhnold and Stallone are back to make no brainer shoot ‘em ups, my favorite lazy Sunday kinda movies.
The Side Effects: The Directorial follow up to Contagion.
A Good Day to Die Hard: Forever one of my favorite franchises!
OZ: The Great and Powerful: James Franco + fantasy epic = fun.
Carrie: I never really got into the original, but wanted to. And Chloe Moretz is so much fun to watch on screen.
The Place Beyond The Pines: Ryan Gosling…
Oblivion: It’s nice to see Tom Cruise in another blockbuster, it’s where he belongs.
Iron Man 3: Duh!
The Great Gatsby: I’ll stop enjoying Leo Dicaprio in classic timepiece films when he stops making them.
Star Trek: Into Darkness: The Next Generation was just added to Netflix, and it’s only strengthened my love for the franchise.
After Earth: I love Will Smith, and I love when he’s on screen with family.
Man Of Steel: To me, this will make or break the Justice League movie…
This Is The End: I love the concept of a bunch of comedy actors, playing themselves, in an apocalypse setting!
World War Z: Quite possibly my favorite book, with one of my favorite actors.
Kick A** 2: I had never heard of the comic until the first movie was released, and now it’s one of those gems I keep coming back to over and over again.
Pacific Rim: Even though it’s a homage to all the classic Japanese monster films, it still feels refreshingly original.
The Wolverine: I don’t care what people say, this is Wolverine2, and it will be great!
300: Rise of an Empire: It’ll be interesting to see what the Persians did after Leonidas’ defeat.
Elysium: Think the storyline of Gundam, without the Gundams.
Riddick: I’m really glad they decided to go this way with the trilogy.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For: FINALLY!!!
The Worlds End: It’s being called the final act in the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost trilogy.
Enders Game: All of my booknerd friends rave about this, and it’s got Harrison Ford in an army role, sold.
Hunger Games: Catching Fire: Hopefully this will finally convince everyone that didn’t read the books that it’s NOT a Twilight ripoff.
The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug: I know that they aren’t following the book, but it’s still excellent to watch. *EDIT* I was TOLD they aren’t following the book 100%…
47 Ronin: Not familiar with the classic? GET FAMILIAR! Also Keannu Reeves in another oriental-style film…I’ll be the only one in the theater, and that’s ok!
jOBS: And finally this…this has already been picked as my movie of the year, for obvious reasons. A biopic about one of my favorite people, starring Ashton Kutcher, whom I’ve actually grown to like when he’s not playing a comedic role.

COFFEE & MULTITASKING v.109
JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE EDITION!
1. IGN SAYS ‘NO’ TO JGL [IGN.com]
I get what they’re saying, it sucks to try and ride the coattails of Nolan’s trilogy. But at the same time I think it would suck more to try and reinvent the character a third time just for a teamup movie.
2. VILLAIN REVEALED [video]
I was just having a conversation this weekend with a friend about why they’ll probably choose this guy as the villain. Here’s a hint; he’s DC’s Thanos ;)
3. ANOTHER NEW POSTER [/Film]
This morning we got Star Trek, this afternoon, Superman!
BUNGIE’S “DESTINY”
∆ So today has been littered with nerd news, but by far my favorite tidbit has been the info leaked on the follow up to Halo.
I try to stay away from rumors or leaks, but this is said to be coming directly from one of the third party studios working with Bungie, and seems totally legit.
Sure the concept sounds like just another Marathon/Halo-futuristic-humans vs aliens mashup, but it looks so pretty! And there is a part of me deep down inside that hopes all of these different games will be connected somehow. Like one massive easter egg spread out over many different stories/platforms.
And if you add it all up, this sounds like an MMO version of Phantasy Star Online…
- 4 games spread out over 8 years
- 4 expansions to be released on the odd years
- a single society under attack, with a group of guardians in a spaceship sent to protect it
