And somewhat related, taking better photos for etsy and ebay.

Also somewhat related, I’m sold on the NECA release of action figures based on the original Mirage Studios version of the turtles. My dilemma is deciding whether I want the current release or if I should wait for the black & white series 2 coming later this year.

Not counting the brief performance at the Spike VGAs, Video Games Live finally makes its way to Las Vegas this weekend. VGL is a great show, and someone we know well may be making a surprise guest appearance. Need tickets? Here’s a set on ebay going for cheap.
Update: They’ve posted the news, get ready to see Hell March live!

Wow, gone for one week and Itagaki left and is suing Tecmo, LucasArts canned half of its dev team, and somebody played Pac-Man with a Roomba. At least I was home in time for the Apple keynote.

I’ve got something like 3700 RSS feed items to scan through and a ton of email to catch up on, but fresh content will return within the next couple days. Two interviews and an article or two on deck, along with the regular bits of this and that. For now, here’s a zombie apocalypse reinterpretation of our wedding photo. I love my friends.

Also, There Will Be Blood = good movie. Thankfully I’d completely missed out on the whole “I drink your milkshake!” phenomenon beforehand.

An interview with Jason McIntosh, part of the team working on the upcoming boutique MMO (I like that term), Lila Dreams.

It’s fun to follow along! Adam Pratt has posted a new progress video for The Game Grid, his soon to open arcade in Salt Lake City, Utah. Nice mix of cabinets so far, and I like the TRON design concept.
