You know perfectly well that I don’t have a problem with the concept of “premium” game additions, I’m unique among amateur industry observers in that I don’t ladle up populist bullshit in an effort to make myself appear a man of the people. I like buying things. But jeezy creezy, guys. The timing, execution, and decision making here are fucking cavalier.
…
Now, we’ve reached a new threshold, where Day One DLC and the promise of Two Years of unrelenting premium offers are the goal - where pitchmen emerge unbidden in our role-playing games and try sell us valor a la carte.
— Jerry Holkins (Tycho from Penny Arcade) Talking about Dragon Age: Origins and DLC in a recent post.

Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks - Trailer

It’s not a secret that I’m a huge Zelda fan.  Anyone who played Phantom Hourglass on the DS knows to expect hand held games that are equally as engaging as their console counterparts.  The bar has been set high for Spirit Tracks I hope Nintendo doesn’t disappoint.

Getting So Much Better All The Time

You have to admit, it’s getting better.  After going dark for much of this week I’m getting better about posting.  Things in my real life have been filled with moving and doing all the things you do in a new apartment.  I’ve been reblogging too much.  And I’m not providing you with the type of original content you’ve been used to.

Also I started playing Borderlands… and that’s been taking up my time the past few nights.  Anyway, enjoy the return of an irregular feature later today and I promise I’ll be back on track next week.

For the third installment of our Save the Arcades campaign we visited Game Galaxy in Nashville.

Notes:
- The ad for Back to the Future pinball is amazing.
- The pizza was from S’barros, and I did eventually eat it.
- I did awesome at the Sopranos pinball machine there, eventually earning an extra ball.
- Pat alludes to Crime Patrol 2, which happened in Bleep Bloop: War on Drugs.

Having Bleep Bloop on tumblr makes posting these extremely easy easy…

Scratch: The Ultimate DJ

Fact: I’m no DJ.  That said, I played DJ Hero for the first time last night and it felt… off.  It felt like I was pushing buttons just for the sake of pushing buttons to make it more of a rhythm game.

On the other hand Scratch: The Ultimate DJ actually looks legit.  It looks like what DJ-ing is actually like.  Most noticeably there are no buttons on the record.  Anyway, take that for what it is and watch the video from Joystiq.

Spider Camera Holster

I saw this concept a while ago I’m glad to see that it’s coming out for real.  I’m just unsure how I feel about the camera dangling from my waist.  I mean, it looks secure, but I don’t think it will feel more secure than my shoulder strap… I’ll investigate further.
