Apparently Psychonauts is selling well enough to take Majesco out of the red, but Wallstreet still thinks that's not enough copies. Actually, Majesco's stock probably dropped mostly because of all the money they wasted on Advent Rising. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/06/29/news_6128338.html

If you have a gamecube, you should get Ikaruga. That's a pretty awesome (but insanely hard) game.

At least it's better than what's usually played on Comedy Central (Mad TV). I've gone from watching Comedy Central all the time to almost not at all due to the fact that they play that show all day.

Hey, Miyamoto isn't wearing lipstick in that picture! but his eyes are missing

They can't make THAT much money, weren't they roommates up until just recently? I suppose that they might make enough to hold a convention though. They probably make a ton from advertising and the mini series comics that they do for UbiSoft

Idle Thumbs could have podcasts with special guests like Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert, it would be a lot easier than having to write articles and stuff.

http://channel101.com/shows/view.php?media_id=580&rescale=1 I don't know why, but I think this is hilarious. Probably because most people actually spend time on their channel 101 submissions but they spent 5 minutes on this one.

A couple of thoughts about his voting choices... I think that Burnout 3 was the best racing game for the year, but if you really wanted to go with a non-ea vote, I guess you could pick Wipeout Pure. For best rpg I would pick Jade Empire. For best handheld game, I would pick Lumines. As much as I love WarioWare games, Lumines was really really cool and one of those games IdleThumbs would really like if they would actually review it. And I think Half-life 2 should be game of the year. And I voted (which meant registering for the site...ugh)

It doesn't matter how much you raised the game since you'll never win anyway because you never actually followed the contest rules.

"The film is to be produced by Scott Faye (The Reaper, Oblivion 2: Backlash, Blonde Heaven, and Test Tube Teens from the Year 2000" Well seeing that it sounds like the director sucks complete ass, it's probably going to be a crappy movie.

http://www.emuunlim.com/doteaters/sinistarbewareilive.wav Holy crap, that's really creepy. So do the dogs still eat and stuff after they've been brought back to life?

Well in the next picture, which is at the train tracks as well, the caption says "Stand by Spaff". So I'm pretty sure that it was a reference to stand by me.

Is IGN in trouble financially? Because a year or two ago they merged with gamespy, and now this.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/06/24/news_6128105.html God damnit, EA's hockey games are terrible too.

EA screwed up, it wasn't an exclusive license, it was an official license. I have no idea how you can get the two mixed up. This is from the gamespot link posted earlier... [uPDATE] Since this story went live, EA has changed the artwork on its NHL 06 home page. The graphic now reads "official license" rather than "exclusive license" (check the above screenshot index for a comparison). Subsequent to the story going live, an EA spokesperson told GameSpot that the company does not have an exclusive licensing deal with the NHL. The NHL confirmed that an existing license with EA was in effect, but the NHL did not offer additional comments on the earlier use of the w{ord "exclusive" by EA.

Yeah, I'm really hoping that since EA is buying exclusive licenses for everything (couldn't someone sue them claiming that it's an illegal monopoly), companies are going to make games that use fictional leagues and allow them to take licenses with the rules of the sport to make the gameplay better. I know that midway is making that Blitz game and since they don't have an NFL license anymore, the game is allowed to be more violent and do stuff that the NFL wouldn't allow (like steroids)

You know what's worse than speed walkers? Mall walkers. You know, those people that walk around inside of malls for exercise in the morning, it's like they're afraid of walking outside.

Why is he making another movie? He can't even get Bloodrayne into theaters because Alone in the Dark bombed so badly.

No, I bet that the people who made the awards show are just retarded and only nominated games that are popular and had famous people in them.

How about people who don't move their arms at all when they don't walk? How do they do it?

FINE I changed it, I hope the new one isn't as disturbing as the old one

I'm disappointed in the plot-o-matic, they're missing the biggest movie cliche of all time. A boring white person and a wise cracking black person who dislike eachother at first but learn to respect eachother's differences and become good friends over time.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/06/20/news_6127865.html Well technically, nothing has been banned yet, but he is trying to get stores to not carry the game since the game has you running around cities shooting cops. I guess he forgot that you can also play as a cop as well and enforce the law. But since when has a politician ever known anything about the subject he/she was trying to legislate. I'm suprised that a politician is already trying to do something with this game though, usually they don't try to ban a game until it has sold millions of copies and has been out for two years. The game does look like crap though, so I'm not that annoyed by it, even though the government never knows what they're doing when it comes to anything video games.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/06/22/news_6128015.html I wish they would do some actual fucking research before having one sided debates about a topic. They seem to forget the fact that you can play as a cop in 25 to Life and that you don't just run around shooting cops. Oh well, all this controversy is only cause the game to sell more copies than they were going to, the game was probably going to bomb anyway if they didn't talk about it at all.
