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!"
The first Revenge of the Sith trailer is going to be released this thursday if you have a Hyperspace account, and will be shown before The Incredibles on friday. But you guys will probably be able to find a way to see it on thursday even if you don't have a HS account. :D
So when you see it (which I've heard is super-friggin'-awesome), come talk about it here!
...Curt Schilling unabashedly endorses Pres. Bush on live television!
...and that's STRIKE ONE on John Kerry!
"Tell them to vote. And-eh-tell them to vote Bush."
With those poignant words of wisdom, Curt Schilling has elevated himself to the status level of Best Person Ever. This guy is awesome; perhaps the only true athlete to reach this level (besides Ted Williams and that football guy who got killed in Iraq.) So, I'm hereby nominating Curt Schilling for the office of President, on the 2008 ticket.
IN JAPAN, they are going to continue to sell the old model as a HDD, Network adatper, and system bundle. If they do that in America, then there is no longer an issue of them no longer supporting the HDD, and as such, companies that made games supporting it would no longer need to do anythign special... like release their game on XBox :D.
After several months of mentally ignoring it, I finally decided to give Invader Zim a chance and get the first volume on DVD. I had been reluctant to spend my hard earned moneys obtaining it because of the Nickoldeon logo that was prominently displayed on the cover. Anyway, I got it and took it home and watched the first episode. I was pleasently surprised by what I saw/heard. It was not the mainstream, braindead writing-filled kids show I had hoped it wouldn't be.
The premise of Invader Zim is the shortest invader in the Ergon army is sent to Earth because the leaders want to get rid of him. It seems that in Operation Impending Doom 1 he made a big mess of things. Anyway, they send him off with his trusty, though completely unintelligent, robot Gir who has brains made out of a few coins and a paper clip. Zim believes the Ergons are depending on him to conquer earth and the Ergon leaders are hoping the never see Zim again. On Earth the only person who knows that knows Zim is an alien is one of his classmates named Dib, but everyone else in the class thinks Dib is crazy even though Zim has green skin and no ears.
One thing I noticed fairly early about this series was that it was very different from the Nickoldeon norm. For one thing there were a number of episodes that were down-right disturbing, although mainly in comparison to what you usually get in afternoon cartoons. Another thing was that the creators were not above brutilizing the various characters in the series for a laugh. One episode in particular, called Dark Harvest, had Zim stealing the other student's organs [and replacing them with..."stuff"] so that the school nurse wouldn't find out that he was an alien, because as we all know the more organs you have the more human you are.
Anyway, don't be fooled by the Nickolodeon logo, Invader Zim is a great series; one that was ultimately cancelled while such shows as Rugrats, Rocket Power, and Hey Arnold live on. According to the creator, Jhonen Vasquez, he's never going to do anything involving animation again, which is really dissapointing given how great his one animated series was. You can get the first nine episodes of IZ for about $15 at just about anywhere that sells DVDs, so go out and get it. Or you can watch reruns on Nick.
