Considering the source of the picture, it might just be the elusive ’slim’ console that Microsoft has been supposedly NOT been working on.

I won’t lie, I’m kinda excited to see what this movie is capable of. You’ve got Will Ferrell playing an evil villain, Tina Fey playing the damsel in distress, Jonah Hill, and Brad Pitt all throwing in their voice work. It should prove to at least be entertaining, though there are the people out there who are just always so willing to poo on anything Dreamworks does. Eh, wait and see this November.

Ha! What a way to end a week of Butt-Rock. Scorpions is truly one of those stadium rock / power ballad bands that will never disappear from the collective memory of America. Just look at all that spandex the band is wearing! As if I needed to tell you, the song is “Still Loving You” from the band’s triple-platinum album Love at First Sting. Not bad for a bunch of German rockers.

Are you all as thrilled as I am to see how Robert Rodriguez handles the sloppily handled Predator franchise? I hope that the smarty-pants director finally manages to pull the AvP universe out of the toilet that it’s been festering in for so long.

Being the other resident weeaboo on this blog, it is my sad duty to inform you all that one of the best hip-hop producers to come from Japan has died. Seba-san was in a fatal car crash in Japan on the 26th of February.

The details are thin on the ground right now, but Deadline has gotten the scoop on Tim Burton’s next film, which will be a 3D, stop-motion  film based on the original Addams Family sketches. The film’s producer, Chris Meledandri, has acquired the rights to the original drawings, which originally appeared in The New Yorker magazine. According to the website, the new film will have no relation to any of the past versions outside of the sketches, which includes all of the various TV series, the 90s films and the recent Broadway musical.

The producer for the current generation of Final Fantasy games, Tetsuya Nomura, has let it loose that the ‘concurrent-quel’ for Final Fantasy XIII (not in the same universe) will actually feature some of the best features of the original Final Fantasy games that we all know and love.

We find ourselves again this week with more show than we could put into one episode, especially the Megasode we had with “Congratulations, You’re Black” that we recorded last Thursday. I don’t know if we’ll have these Behind the Scenes podcasts for every week, but it sure does seem that way with two weeks in a row doesn’t it?

If you’re interested in what we talk about pre-show, wonder no longer. This week’s episode took a little bit to get into due to us getting off on a huge tangent about comics, our favorites, and where you can find them cheap. I know that I’ll be responsible for a slight surge in the purchases at InStock Trades after this episode.

We hope that hearing these special episodes will give you a little insight on what we do to psyche ourselves up for a show, what we’re gonna talk about, and just generally flesh out our personalities a little more.

Continuing this week’s trend of Butt-rock Ballads, here’s Motley Crue’s “Without You” from the album Dr. Feelgood. Oh man it’s just sooooo terrible!

Kevin Butler, Sony’s proverbial VP of Everything, has released a new video dealing with the PlayStation Move. While it doesn’t show anything new about the devices that wasn’t already shown at GDC, its a worthy watch simply for its ridiculousness. However, there was one bit of fine print that caught our eye: PlayStation Eye sold seperately. This appears to go completely against what Sony was promising with the device, which was said to come as a pack with the device, an Eye, and a game. Hopefully this is simply an ala carte option for those who happen to already have a PlayStation Eye (all five of you), but nothing can be said for sure.

Here it is folks, part 2 of my recent interview with Phoenix Online Studios, the development company behind The Silver Lining.

If you are expecting Space battles, Masses of Cylons, Gun fights and serious politicking you are missing what was the core of Battlestar Galactica, the characters.

Mr. Penn…I say this with the utmost respect, shut up already. It’s been proven by my favorite fighter Georges St-Pierre (twice now) that you’re not the ultimate thing in the MMA world. I can understand that you’re one of the more recognizable faces in the MMA world and certainly for the UFC, and this makes you valuable for the game because of the people you’ll draw, but c’mon man…claiming that GSP cheated by having Vaseline rubbed into his body, that’s bad sportsmanship.

I think it’s rather funny that today the Shogun posts Def Leppard as the MCoM since the band in this video is trying really hard to be them. Anyways, funny video on how Facebook changed once it opened up to more than just college students. This is basically how I felt as soon as I learned my mom was on Facebook, but thankfully, she’s not nearly as bad as the mom in this video. Enjoy.

Man, if you thought that me playing “Animal” yesterday was bad, just wait until you get an earful of today’s track. This is the eponymous track from the album Hysteria, from which there are literally no bad songs…to me at least. Beg for mercy if you wish to be saved from the power ballads of the 80s because I’m really starting to enjoy myself here. If I keep this up, next thing you know we’ll be playing “Total Eclipse of the Heart!”
