Posted on February 7, 2011 by geelw

Feeling psychic and lucky? Well then, boogie on over to Sideshow Collectibles and enter their Oscar picks contest. Win big, and the next time you’re watching Return of the Jedi and reciting the dialogue, when you get to Han Solo’s “Boba Fett? Boba Fett, Where?” , you can turn, point at the life-sized character bust that showed up in the post and commence with the cracking up. Yeah, it’s pretty damn cool, huh? Anyway, go pick a few winners and keep those fingers crossed. One runner up nets a nice Whiplash figure from Iron Man 2, by the way. Your chance to win is a few clicks away!

Yeah, yeah yeah, click play to see The Yankess blow it all over again. Thanks Sony… now I have to read email from folks pointing me to the same trailer I just posted as they chuckle away gleefully at all that payroll going down the drain last year. Feh. We’ll see what happens this year (hell, if anything, a virtual roster might be a better team in terms of the weakened pitching that’s plagues the club for a while) – just you wait…

No, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl (yes, I had better things to do.) So, I missed this funky new ad until I got a call saying the video was up on YouTube. My response: “Ah-ha!” followed by “Well, what the… ewwwwwww!” Yeah,yeah, that other BIG secret Sony was clinging on to (ha ha) that wasn’t so secret is out. There WILL be a PSPhone. It’s the Ericsson Xperia Play (the same model you probably already saw over at Engadget) and yup, it’ll be coming your way soon enough. Android enabled, PS Suite packed and ready for your gaming needs. Oh, and it’s got a phone in case you feel the need to call someone and ask for directions because you totally missed your train stop while engrossed in that portable version of Killzone or whatever.

Er, who won the game anyway?

Ridge Racer Unbounded Trailer: Let Bugbear Be!

And here we go again. Last year, when EA unveiled SSX: Deadly Descents, the Internet descended on them in a rather deadly decent into all sorts of nasty name-calling and threats based on the trailer that showed the new installment was headed in a more action flick direction, something many die-hard SSX fans didn't want at all. Now, Namco Bandai is facing the same sort of crankiness based on a trailer that also doesn't even show any gameplay at all. Worse, some of the comments directed toward the game's dev team are at best, ignorant and at worst, more than a tiny bit racist.
