Conan O'Brian's show has a new skit called Pierre Bernard's Recline of Rage in which Pierre talks about things that make him mad. Since he's apparently a big anime fan that's mostly what he talks about. The first skit had him talking about the Robotech series and how the VHS and DVD releases are confusing and how he'll never learn what happens to "the little town in the space bubble". His next appearance had him complaining about Cowboy Bebop being replaced by Case Closed which led to this:
Quote:Conan: What? How can you NOT like Case Closed? This show was originally called "Detective Conan", hey I like it! The funny thing about this show though - they changed its name to Case Closed to avoid me of all people from sueing them! Isnt that just WEIRD!?
-audience laughs-
Conan: -puts on glasses- Hey lookie me! I'm Conan Edo...whatever and YOU ARE THE KILLER! -points at a Max Weinberg-
My car got broken into last night at around 1 am, but thankfully my alarm went off so they didn't have a chance to steal anything. The only thing damaged was the damn right vent window. The thing is that my car was probably the worst car in the entire street to brake into because a) there's a huge fucking lamp post right over it, b) I have a good alarm system which has signs all over the car, and c) my room window (which faces the street) was open and I had the damn tv on, so the idiot criminals should have seen that someone was awake. So basically, I'm lucky that these criminals had absolutely zero intelligence. I hope those bastards get caught.
Aug. 6 release. Demo coming sometime, they're starting on it now that the main game is done. The game's been in development for something like five years so it's taken a while, but it does look good...
On a related note, no news of DNF. It's going to be one of the best games of the 1998 holiday season!
EA doesn't hate you! Sure, UO2 and UXO were both cancelled. But don't worry, EA's doing something... another UO expansion. Yup. The second I saw UXO was dead I saw this coming, for sure... honestly, I saw this cancellation coming too. And they said the exact same thing they did after canning UO2 -- "we want to refocus our efforts on making UO great!"... how long do they think they can keep this game going as a modern title? Running it as a nostalgia game is fine, and probably what it is, but I wonder how long they can keep the game running like this...
