DPTDC_SCREENSHOT_15

Uh oh! Well, as you can see here, FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan (just call him York!) is in a little spot of trouble. OK, a BIG spot of trouble. But it’s kind of his own damn fault for wearing those stupid, expensive (non-FBI issue) leather shoes with no traction soles out in the pouring rain. You’d think the man would at least pack some decent rain gear in his car trunk or carry a plastic poncho in his pocket, but nope. Of course, he’s actually in no danger in this shot because the Red Seeds Killer actually burst out laughing for a few minutes, allowing York to make good his escape with just his dignity injured and in need of a change of clothes. Well, better mud than blood, I say… although both kinds of stains are a total bitch to get out. Especially from a nice suit such as that. You can’t just toss that in the washer and then into a hot dryer… unless you plan on donating it to a shorter person who can iron really well…

DP_PreorderAnyway, make sure you wear your rubbers if it’s raining on April 30, 2013 and you’re headed out to pick up a copy of Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut, exclusively for the PS3 from Rising Star Games. The updated HD visuals, PlayStation Move and 3D TV support plus over 100 changes from the original version will have you grinning no matter what the weather is doing outside. Just make sure you look both ways when crossing the street, as I think that Red Seeds Killer can drive as may not want you to make it home in one piece so he can continue his evil ways…

swery_birthday to youHmmm… I think Game Director and part full time coffee maven Swery 65 likes the rain quite a lot. Greenvale tends to get quite wet this time of year and at night, it’s the perfect time to see and run into all sorts of oddball things. Most of which are out to kill you unless you know where they are and how to avoid them. I hear he’s disconnecting his phone on the day the game comes out so people don’t ring him up for clues at all hours of the night.

Two More Reasons To Grab Message From Space On DVD…

Sure, it’s not the best sci-fi flick out there, but there’s a certain crazy exuberance in these clips that makes Message From Space pretty hilarious in its own right. Yeah, I like bad films as well as great ones, so sue me. or at least watch this one and some of the others I recommend from time to time. You’ll get an education on cinema and not have to pay too much to some silly film school where all you’ll learn is you’ve gone into debt and no one will hire you to work on a feature film because you spent too much time in class listening to some old guy telling you there’s nothing better than Citizen Kane. Which is true in some respects, but there are a LOT of great (and not so great) movies in other genres worth seeing…

Shout Factory Thaws Out 1990’s Captain America (And Its Camp Awesomeness)…

I remember seeing this at a convention and being floored at how cheesy some parts were but overall, it being really fun it was to watch. Cap with those wings on his head straight out of the comic book, battling the Red Skull and a bunch of Nazi creeps worked well for what it was, but of course, Marvel buried this budget flick for ages soon afterward. It’s actually not bad at all and LIGHT YEARS better than the terrible TV series that ran for a short time in 1979. Then again, it seems that Cap has gotten better with age in terms of his film and TV appearances. The most recent flick was sheer fun from start to finish and even the video game kinda-sorta based on that flick wasn’t half bad, warts and all. Anyway, if you loved that new Cap flick and want to check out one that’s in the same vein, defintely hit up Shout Factory’s site and grab this comic book flick if you like your heroes imperfect yet still able to put a boot up the butt of the bad guys

Iron Man 3 Featurette 2: Tony Stark Certainly Doesn’t Buy His Suits At Men’s Wearhouse…

Another week, another Iron Man 3 making-of feature bound for the home video release (mark my words). It’s fun seeing Marvel set up their universe through these recent flicks that do an interesting job at condensing that huge history from their comics into two-hour (or less) chunks easily digested by the masses. Granted, for some reason Spider-Man, Ghost Rider and some other heroes haven’t yet gotten that “perfect” reworking as film properties (at least in my opinion), but it’ll be interesting to see how the characters from other films cross over into the more popular ones over time…

Star Trek: The Video Game – Making of (3): Voice Acting Is Not About Good Looks…

OK, OK, so Chris Pine isn’t exactly Bummy McBumenstein with that 45 o’clock shadow he’s got stuck to his face, but this video shows that you can completely be in character and NOT need to dress the part nor call in the makeup team. The upcoming game is getting star power with what looking like quality work from some core cast members as well as music from the film. Oddly enough, this wasn’t show at Namco Bandai’s recent press event, but I’m not worried at all, as the bulk of games shown (save for some indie downlables and the fun surprise that was Young Justice Legacy) there were from Japanese developers. In any event, Star Trek hits stores on April 23, 2013 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. I’ll be diving in solo, as I’m a lonely guy with no friends (waah!), but I guess I can take a trip to a friend’s to see how the co-op plays…

In Case You’re Not Watching Game of Thrones, HBO Wants To Make You Do So (NOW)…

Hey you. Yeah, YOU. I know you’re sick and tired of rolling up to the water cooler or coffee machine on a Monday and hearing enough Game of Thrones chatter to make you want to beat the next person you hear rolling a strange name off their tongue with that coffee mug in your hand, but don’t do it. Just give in and either make a new friend with one of those co-workers so you can hang at their place for the next episode or shell out for HBO if it’s part of your cable package you didn’t upgrade. You look like you could use a bit more drama in your life and the good thing is, you don’t have to dress up for it. Unless you REALLY want to. I know that tavern wench outfit in the closet you’ve not worn since that Renaissance fair in 1998 still fits – you’ve been taking care of yourself (and that’s a good thing)…
