Dang. Sounds like a rough one. I like baby games.

At least the love scene. WHAT ARE GIRLS? Speaking of, have you all looked up the Heavy Rain sex scene on Youtube? The comments are hysterical. Someone said "Wow. That was actually beautiful" in all seriousness. Uhh.

Discovered this today via a link on BBC: http://www.newspaperclub.co.uk/. It's a LuLu-ish service based in the UK that allows for folks to print 12-paged newspapers on demand. You may use either their design tool or send in your own PDF. They're currently accepting applications for their beta. What do you think? Personally, I feel this will revolutionize my religious tract business.

What about Weapon Brown? It's Charlie Brown in a post-apocalyptic setting. http://www.whatisdeepfried.com/2008/04/07/weapon-brown-1/

Nice. I fully plan on trying it out if it ends up making its way to America.

Has Peter M ever put himself in one of his own games? I'm thinking a future Fable with him as the protagonist would be great. You'd traverse the land attempting to convince people of your awesome power or something.

Here's a sweet spin-off game for those that loved the mall part. http://www.heavy.com/post/press-x-to-jason-the-game-4539

This is exciting! Now, I must pour through the rest of the first one. This is sadly one of the many great PC games I missed upon their release. I'm trying to catch up now.

Image Comics' Mice Templar is quite grand. Think Nyhm meets LOTR. The second trade will release in this next couple of months. If you get the first, you'll be given a bible for the world Glass and Oeming created that describes its fairly complex creation myth. Both the art and story are great. Also, since I loved the show, I've been digging the Jericho comic. The creators of the series are finishing up what they'd planned to do before it got canceled here. Oh, oh ... Axe Cop, too. Most of you have probably heard of it, though. It's a 30-year old comic artist drawing stories written by his 5-year old brother. AxeCop.com.

I've tried to get on NeoGAF for a while but am apparently not cool enough. I have my own domain mail but have been rejected 2-3 times. I started cutting after the third.

Good point about the end. I've heard some of the epilogues described and they all sound pretty varied. I think I'll hit the video store and rent it this afternoon.

Every thing I see regarding this game makes me think Myst. I'm pretty excited to see how it turns out.

I'm looking forward to checking out Justified, the new FX show. It starts this week I believe. It's based on an Elmore Leonard short story about a US Marshall from KY sent back home as punishment for blowing away a perp. Upon his arrival, he gets entangled in a fight with a redneck Neo-Nazi dude. Timothy Olyphant plays the lawman. Just saw Green Zone yesterday. Wasn't as Bourne-like as I expected, but it was a-okay. Also recently saw the new Jared Hess movie Gentlemen Broncos. It, sadly, did NOT live up to its trailer. It did have a few funny parts, though. Most of the really good bits involved Jemaine Clement, who portrays a washed-up Science Fiction writer. It's mercifully short, so if you're a fan of Clement you might dig it a bit. I came THIS close to buying the North by Northwest Bluray re-release. Has anyone checked this out yet? I love Hitchcock and hear this version of the film is quite lovely.

The multiple button presses would bother me, I think. I hear at times you need to hit four buttons or so simultaneously. I didn't have too awful of a time with Indigo on PC, though. I might still give it a rent despite knowing the end. I've been following a Twitter account for Jaaaason. Someone is continuing his story. It's actually pretty funny. http://twitter.com/jaaaaaaaasson So far, the best tweet was this: "Forgot to mention that @ethanmars had the sex talk with me today. How the heck am I supposed to hit X, O, [], AND R2. Not having kids ever!" Also, every song he blips is a cover of 99 Red Balloons.

This one always gets me: Someone stages a musical in the middle of an actual university lecture.

Going to plug some pals here: Foxhole - http://www.myspace.com/foxhole Instrumental stuff. Think Explosions in the Sky with a trumpet. Some of their older stuff had a bit of a Blue Man Group vibe, which is something I hope their new material hearkens back to. Heartwarmer - http://www.myspace.com/heartwarmer Just good, catchy indie pop. They recently migrated from our native Kentucky to Seattle. I miss 'em greatly. Interstates - http://www.myspace.com/weareinterstates Another great instrumental band. They're a bit more chill than Foxhole with a few electronica elements. Timbre - http://www.myspace.com/timbre An angelic voiced girl with a harp. SIGH And people I don't know ... The Lassie Foundation - http://www.myspace.com/thelassiefoundation Great shoegaze from California. Anytime you see the name Wayne Everret linked to a band, you know it's going to be good.

I'd decided that I would skip HR, so I began listening to spoiler casts on it. Now, I wish I had've waited. The twists outweigh what sounds like a tedious control scheme.

I've been playing it quite a bit this week. It's a hybrid of Twin Peaks, Shenmue, and Resident Evil. If you enjoy any or all of those things, odds are you'll be able to forgive the lackluster graphics.

Hehe. Nah, I think new accounts have to be active a bit before being able to start new threads. When I click to do a new one at this juncture, it tells me I don't have the rights.

Just wondering how long I must be a member before I can make posts on other threads.

I occasionally guest host a podcast entitled Barrel Roll. WOAH!

Hey! My name is Wesley, a 31-year old IT person from Kentucky (Our motto is: "YES, we DO have computers ... and shoes!"). A friend of mine suggested I check out the Thumbs a while back. I listened, enjoyed, but never visited the forums until now. So, what do I do now?
