The Fallout Warrior

The Fallout series kicks ass. Since the first one hit shelves in 1997 it's style made it an instant classic, inspiring the creation of great games like Bioshock. But we can't forget what inspired its look, mainly Australia's Mad Max movies. Bellow is a clip of one of my favorite Road Warrior moments. I guess you could say a group of "raiders" confronts a "Megaton" type settlement. Oh and notice the leather jacket on Mel which Black Isle took outright for the first Fallout.

Show me your Persona

So recently I've been living under a rock and I completely missed this little announcement from Atlus. Another Persona's on the way and if you basked in the presence of Persona 3 this should give you a straight up boner. For the uninitiated, the Persona (shin megemi tensie [totally spelled wrong] in Japan) series spans back to the snes and is a classic amongst Japanese console RPGs. The most recent installment, Persona 3, was an insanely expansive game which was basically like Pokemon, the Sims, Diablo and FF rolled into one. You create relationships with people in a strange life simulation mode but after each day it's straight into the RPG in which you can persuade the monsters you fight to be on your side. It's an insanely fun experience, if you're ready to deal with the Japanese-ness of it all. However, I'm informed that the forth installment will becoming to the PS2? The third one was released on the PS2 march of this year. Really? I think it's about time to change platforms. Anyways below is the trailer video for it which is actually pretty lame because it's just a little anime thing... but at least you can laugh at it... or I don't know maybe you're into that sort of thing... Uh, enjoy!

Just a friendly reminder. The title screen below is all that exists of an election video game I wanted to make. I never got past this point. Why? I was playing games.

Making Movie Magic, with a Game Boy

I don't have much time to post this, but here's an amazing little thing I saw this morning. Both the animation and music were created with Game Boy. Not sure how the animation works exactly, I don't think it looks nearly pixel-y enough, but the music is 8bit all the way. Check out Kotaku's post for more info.

Hasselhoff Flogs Self for C&C: Red Alert 3

Ironic humor and retro kitsch are damn near reaching critical mass, and are in danger of imploding completely if this recent campaign for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is any indication. Featuring an obviously soused David Hasselhoff, this fake infomercial features plenty of self effacing comedy, irreverent explosions and dolphins. Try as he may, Hasselhoff will top this. These do have some funny stuff and are worth it to see if you're tracking the gaming industry:

Here's irony and nostalgia done right. It's from a pilot by Ben Stiller, Rob Schrab, Jack Black and Owen Wilson about a super intelligent astronaut (Black) and his only friend - a talking motorcycle (Wilson). Enjoy.
