Looking pretty good.

Quote:Matt responds: I don't think the gamble was worth it. The original Viewtiful Joe sold 275,000 copies on GameCube and an additional 46,000 on PlayStation 2. Meanwhile, through December 2004, the GameCube version of Viewtiful Joe 2 sold through only 61,000 copies and the PS2 build a mere 18,000 copies. Not so hot, in other words.

Somthing I notice is that while alot of you even I at one point thought the french goverment was liberal , Apparently they conciderd it "conservatism".
I think maybe you have confused frenchism with liberalism in this situation.

I'm going to hopefully work on All the King's Men. This is a huge film and I'm really looking forward to it, I got the call today from my buddy who's already on it and he said he can get me in.

I just wanted to let you guys know so you can watch the progress of the film from imdb.com until it's release. I could be working on it for just a few days, or for the rest of the production, so we'll see.

The film is directed by one of the biggest writers out there, Steven Zaillian who wrote the script for Schindler's List, Clear and Present Danger and Searching for Bobby Fischer, among many others. The film stars Jude Law and Sean Penn, with a cast that includes James Gandolfini, Kate Winslet and Anthony Hopkins. All the King's Men is based off a Robert Penn Warren novel that won many awards with a film done in the 50's that won many an Oscar. The story has to do with the life of Willie Stark, who is actually based on a real person - former Governer of Louisiana, Huey Long.

It's a ginormous project, check it out:

Wish me luck, Lord knows I'll need it.

As usual, you can select it at the bottom of any page.

And to the stalwarts, yes, I added a classic version layout.

I was tired of red, so I went back to blue for a change. Hope you guys like it. :)

Reaction?

Quote:Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood
Take Two to get MLB exclusive? NBA to sell genre exclusive licenses?
January 18, 2005 - I can't ever remember a more tumultuous time in the history of sports video games. And just when you think you know it all, another bomb is dropped on your lap.

EA buys the NFL exclusive. EA buys the ESPN exclusive.

But now, here comes the counterpunch.

Rumors are circulating that the Take Two/Visual Concepts team is in negotiations to buy the exclusive MLB license, and negotiations are almost final. Visual Concepts is the company I had mentioned in a previous column as the ones who went out and locked up a long term deal with Major League Baseball after the NFL exclusive was announced, and now it looks like they were not only granted a long term deal, but are about to make it an exclusive. Word is, it could be an exclusive third party contract, meaning first-party publishers like Sony (989), Microsoft, and Nintendo will still be able to publish games using the real players and teams, but surprisingly, it's mega power EA who will be cut out of the loop.

On the NBA front, rumors are spreading throughout the industry that the league is now looking to sell genre-specific exclusives once current deals expire, meaning they want one company to publish sims (NBA Live, NBA 2K5), one to publish street-style games (NBA Street V3, NBA Ballers), and one to publish portables. Sources tell IGN Sports that there is already some major money on the table for each deal, and it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out. The NBA has rejected initial bids for the all-encompassing exclusive, taking the competition from the courts to the negotiating table.

Quote:The nineteenth episode of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE's fourth season will continue the story begun with "In a Mirror, Darkly," and create another link between ENTERPRISE and the original STAR TREK series. In Part I (as previously reported), a Mirror Universe adventure unfolds when we glimpse the moment of first contact with Vulcans taking a vicious turn, entirely different from the history we've seen in the feature film FIRST CONTACT.

In part two of the story, we encounter a mirror version of our NX-01 crew. Archer doesn't have a command of his own in this universe, but together with his fellow cruel shipmates, he captures a vessel known as the "Defiant" -- the Federation starship lost in "The Tholian Web", quite possibly. In the famous TOS episode, the U.S.S. Defiant disappears into "interspace" after phasing between dimensions for a few hours. Coto mentioned earlier today (story) that a "1701-class Federation starship" would make an appearance this season, and this episode will likely involve replicas of classic TOS sets.

Mayweather and Archer torture an alien prisoner to gain information about the location of a stowaway -- a Gorn -- before later meeting up with another Empire starship, the Avenger. The Avenger's science officer is a submissive 'Lieutenant Commander Soval' and after a firefight, Archer and the Defiant rendevezous with the Avenger, where Archer prods her commander for a battlefield commission. It seems the Enterprise in this universe was commanded by 'Captain Forrest', and their fate remains unknown at this time.

This information is only preliminary and should be treated as rumor until confirmed by official channels

Quote:We don't know much about Touch! Kirby's Magic Paintbrush yet, except that the Japanese will get a nice pink stylus packed with the game (representing the magic paintbrush). Using the stylus, it's up to you to draw a path for kirby to roll over. Loop de loops? If you want them, it's possible.

Nintendo's precious pink blob is also said be be able to morph into 10 different forms in this adventure again.
