The DS is two weeks away and Rayman is launching with it, yet we still haven't been told what it's going to be like. All we got was a doctored screenshot (that used an n64 screenshot). I don't get it.
Midway announced a fourth Rush game, LA Rush, in late August... wow... only for PS2 and X-Box so far, but given that the other three Rush games came out on N64 and that after a long delay Midway eventually did announce MK Deception for the Cube, we probably stand a decent chance of initially getting this game...
All I can say is, I really hope it lives up to the past titles. Rush 1 was a fantastic game, Rush 2 was a quite good racing title, and Rush 2049 is one of my favorite games ever... maybe my favorite racing/vehicular game ever (with its main competition being F-Zero X and F-Zero GX), I'm not sure... so it has a very high standard to live up to. But if it can... well, I'll be looking forward to hearing more about this game regardless. Another aspect of Midway's obvious effort in recent times to improve back to the level they were once at, I guess.
It could of course also end up mediocre and forgotten, and there's definitely a solid chance of that (after all, this isn't the Rush team that is making the game!), but for now I'll choose to remain hopeful...

There's stuff from Geist, Star Fox Assault (which is looking awesome), Odama, and everything else your heart desires*!! Most importantly, check out the first video for the Mario Party 6 commercial. It comes on after the Tennis stuff.
Remember that awesome Banjo Pilot transformation? When it went from mode 7 to awesome voxels?
From this:

Well it went back to mode 7, and it doesn't look too good. If the DS weren't coming out I'd still get it, but with Mario Kart on the way, what's the point?
Quote:November 03, 2004 - Kameo, we hardly knew ya. Rare's upcoming platformer, originally scheduled for a January 2005 release, has been pushed back indefinitely. Today on Rare's Website, the company announced it was delaying the release of Kameo: Elements of Power to make both minor and major changes to the title.
Here's the complete message from Rare:
Here's one you didn't see coming! After a lot of thought and discussion, Rare and Microsoft Game Studios have decided to push back the launch of Kameo: Elements of Power in order to incorporate several changes and new features (some minor, some not so minor).
We realise this is frustrating in the short term to all those of you avidly following the game's progress and itching to bust some Troll heads, and we can only apologise for keeping you in suspense, but rest assured that every last one of these new developments is designed to enhance and expand the overall experience. We want this to be the best game possible, so like any delays we may have instigated in the past (surely not) we have every confidence that this one will ultimately work out for the best. Stay tuned for further updates.
No future release date has been disclosed. Kameo could ship next summer, next holiday, or even in 2006. We'll have more on Kameo in the far future.

"Five games in two years" my ass. We'll be lucky to get two Rare X-Box games period!
My co-worker brought in the trick-or-treat candy that wasn't handed out and among the stuff was skittles gum, which I hadn't heard of before. At first I thought they were regular skittles, but when they turned into gum and weirded me out I was like "Hey! I didn't invite gum into my mouth!". But now I dig the stuff... it's addictive.
I have around thirty little skittles gum pieces in my mouth right now.
I've never been a big Pixar fan. I didn't care for the first two Toy Stories or Monsters Inc., and I never bothered to see Finding Nemo. However, I absolutely loved Brad Bird's The Iron Giant, and I just found out that he directed The Incredibles (I can't believe I didn't know this before... but I never followed news on it) so I definitely want to go see it with my nephew this weekend. And Sam Jackson is in it... come on now. I have to see the movie. :)
Oh and seeing the Revenge of the Sith trailer on the big screen is just icing on the cake.
Hahaha! Bush-Cheney, bitches! I knew he'd prevail. The majority of the nation has the sense to vote Republican, thank goodness.
It's a celebration, bitches! Viva Bush, bitches!
All these Democrats that haven't caught up yet were asking me like "Man, why did Kerry concede?"
And I tell them, "Because Bush was whupping his ass in Ohio!"
