Chrono Trigger remake was in the works…
…but alas, Square put a stop to it in 2004… This video was leaked by the director of the project… Fast forward to 5 minutes if you actually want to see stuff you’ll recognize (besides the swinging pendulum…)
Pretty much sums up “Achievements” in my mind
A screenshot from the soon to be released Devil May Cry 4 (360/PS3) off the PS3 when you unlock an achievement (with a little bit of editorializing from Joystiq (it’s that little bit in the lower right))…
People seem to go nuts over these achievements, and I just don’t get it… Isn’t getting all the items, or completing the game on the harder difficulty the achievement? Do you need the game to confirm that, in fact, you did get 20,000 points in a level? A system built into a game itself is fine, rewards of new weapons or new play modes after beating a game once gives it replay value and makes someone who spent 50 or 60 bucks feel like it was a good investment… Achievements are just bragging rights, and bragging rights for video games has always seemed, simply put, stupid… People who own X360s (and this isn’t all, so don’t take it as that) will rent games notorious for easy achievement points (::cough:: Avatar ::cough::) just to raise their gamer score… It makes gaming into a meta-game for socially competitive types, and I don’t want a meta-game… That’s not why I play video games. But maybe I’m the weird one here. The fact that Sony and video game makers seem to be bowing to this on the PS3 is pissing me off, but alas…
Who runs this woman’s campaign?
I mean come on… This is too easy… Hillary’s official campaign song is “When The Lady Smiles” by Golden Earring from the year 1984…. Never heard of either of those two names or that year? Well, here’s the video for said song… The word “controversial” might come to mind… Let it… . . . Let it simmer…

In other news, if you have a next-gen system (read not a Wii (even though it really is the most next-gen of all the next-gen systems, but we won’t get into that right now…)) and you aren’t playing “Burnout: Paradise” what in the world is wrong with you… It is graphically stunning, the crashes are the best I’ve ever seen in a video game, and the driving engine is superb… I’m hooked on it right now, despite some of the terrible music in the game… with one large exception… the title song… Can anyone guess it?

I Love It When Game Geeks Are Placed In Charge Of Things…
Hey Mr. Thompson
So, this is a little older (mid November), but I fucking hate “Hey There Delilah”, and this does a great job of making the lyrics mean something whilst giving a big “Fuck You” to Jackie-boy…
Moral Kombat
I know we’ve all turned out to be insane killing machines…

I like the little “video games were a cause of 9/11″ thing thrown in there… That was a nice touch by Jackie T and Co…
ROFL
(That means I slightly grinned whilst watching this…) Still, it did make me grin, and that takes something… something.. deadly… Like this…
or this…
Why I need a PS3…
Well, this and of course Lair.
So, I don’t know what’s up LucasArts’ ass, but they apparently don’t want this trailer up at youtube… Man, that would be awful to allow people to see the trailer without having to visit their site…
Anyways, check the trailer out here… Click
I want it… I want it… I want it… (For that one Xbox 360 owner (who I know reads this blog), it will be available for that system as well…)
