Me!
So here’s the log-line that gets you a movie contract these days: “The story follows a janitor who, during a Christmas holiday, gets trapped in an underground research facility with military-trained Rhesus monkeys.”

What?
Here’s a new four minute long trailer from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots which Konami is showing at the 2007 Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany.
Tagline: How can they find the world’s most wanted war criminal when the C.I.A. can’t? [by actually looking]
A young journalist (Eisenberg), a seasoned cameraman (Howard) and a discredited journalist (Gere) embark on an unauthorized mission to find the no. 1 war criminal in Bosnia; they find themselves in serious jeopardy when they are mistaken as a CIA hit squad and their target decides to come after them.

Wired sent an embedded reporter into the dangerous battleground of Penny Arcade.
Their nine-room office is a gamer’s paradise — Willy Wonka’s long-lost chip fab. There are dozens of Xbox 360s, a heaping carton full of Nintendo Wiimotes, an SNK arcade cabinet, a vintage Atari Lynx handheld. The walls are covered with blowups of their work and game posters autographed by the developers. There’s also a floor-to-ceiling stack of the latest videogames, sent by publishers eager to be mentioned in the strip. “We’ll throw them on sometimes when we’re looking for grist for the day’s comic,” Holkins says.

Go watch these promotional cartoons for Team Fortress 2. I laughed my ass of. There is one on the page and a link to YouTube in the comments for an earlier video.

I didn’t know a few of these, and barely remember most of the rest.
Sometimes, as State-side Hobotaku, we all have some trouble figuring out the different ratings and designations for manga and anime - that’s where this handy Hobotaku Dictionary can help. Now you’ll know what it means when a manga said to be Shonen Yuri or a character typically Moe.

I still think he would be a better Wally West.
Given that Ryan Reynolds recently suggested that a potential Flash movie might have only died a comic-book death, you’d think asking him what graphic character he’d be most excited to play would be met with a fairly predictable answer. Think again. Faster than the Flash could ever be, Reynolds says the super he’s most dying to play is Wade Wilson.

I was excited rigth up until it got to the point where they said it was going to be more of the same of the modern reality show.
Show will follow eight gladiators — four men and four women — as they take on contestants both male and female. This time, in a new wrinkle, the players will be given the opportunity to train for their match — and viewers will be given a glimpse of their personalities prior to the actual competish.

The eye patch I get. Girls with poor depth perception are hot. But bandages?
“Girls who get decked out in Amaloli (cute, pink or white frilly ‘Lolita’-style outfits) have started covering themselves in bandages and wearing eye patches,” she says. “Many of the men who come to Akihabara often compliment us on how good our bandages look, or how cute they are. For girls hanging out in Akihabara, bandages and eye patches have become a must-have fashion item.”
This is it. I'm not looking to become an Internet star, or buy a house off by adsense moneyz. Though I am willing to go with the flow on either.
You may have noticed that I am not a graphic designer. Or a real programmer. Or race car driver, though that may not be as obvious from the site itself. I apologize for any mistakes, ommisions, or eye gouging graphics choices I may have perpetrated on anyone through ths page
