Editorial/Rant here.

I'm a Brad Wardell fan. Its no secret. I've quoted him about as often as any major name in the gaming or computing business, and every time its for how to do things right. His company, Stardock, was tapped by Dell to create a dock for their computers. Upon that being revealed the accusations "OMGRIPOFF!" began to fly.

Anyhow, Wardell got wind of that (obviously) and got a leeeeettle peeved. Hence? His editorial/rant above. Its a nice history lesson and a bit of a rant, but I can appreciate it

Story here.

*heart attack*

Oh, this thrills me. I might have to fire up Gears' multiplayer soonish now. You know... to get pwnd like the n00b I am. It gives me some faint hope that the 360's Live Silver will get some basic online play, too. Why? I don't know - it was just a gut, knee-jerk bit of hope. But who knows? Microsoft really needs to start building on this and that old concept of "Live Everywhere" that seems to have fallen to the wayside.

I would reeeeaally like to see Sony come up with some similar initiative (ie, a PC/PS3 multiplayer platform), but I sincerely doubt that would happen. Now, some PSN games that could be played online with PS3 and PSN games would be nice. Not everything needs to be in HD or have twitch reflexes like those of a paranoid chihuahua on crack, after all.

For example: could Maplestory be pulled off on the PSP? That'd be cool; PC, PS3 and PSP players all together... or hell, Gametap. Seriously; Sony is never going to kill off homebrewing/pirating on the PSP, so they might as well provide a legal recourse for folks just wanting to play old games. I'm sure Turner won't mind having their market expand, either

I had joked about this movie last year, saying it was more important for David Hayter to be involved in that than Metal Gear Solid 4. Anyhow, he's not involved in the film anymore, but the movie is still coming.

Watch the trailer.

Get the graphic novel.

And wait with me.

The graphic novel is one of the greatest ever made, written by Alan Moore. Other works by Moore would be V for Vendetta, The Legue of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Captain Britain, Marvelman (Miracleman in the US), and far, far more than I can list. Hopefully the film translation of Watchmen will be worth of the source material.

I really enjoyed Iron Man. Same with the last Batman, and I'm hoping the new one is as good. But Watchmen? Its in that upper-echalon of titles like Return of the Dark Knight and Kingdom Come for me.
