Press Start!: That One About Snatch(er) and Leaking.
Press Start! Weekly Top 5 list chronicling the happenings in gaming in the past seven days.
The abridged week always leads to a certain funk that bookmarks both sides of it. You begin checking out prior to the Holiday, and the days that follow are (for most of us, I’d wager) a haze of recuperation, lament at the end of the Holiday, and an attempt to gain your footing again.
As such, the world of gaming news is either unremarkable, or I frankly didn’t give much of a shit. Too busy trying to burn off the impressive caloric excess while simultaneously polish off the remainder of flesh and sweets that populated my house.

‘Modern Warfare 3’ To Have Color-Blind Assist Option. This Helps Me. Srsly.
I’m color-blind. Not in that retarded “I see in black and white” sort of thing I sometimes get. Not that. However, I can’t tell a lot of colors apart. Greens from browns, browns from reds, that sort of bullshit. So quite often, I have a very difficult time trying to figure out who I should be shooting in games like ‘Modern Warfare’. It appears Sledgehammer Games has revealed there will be help for people like me in Modern Warfare 3.
Japan Gets A Swank As Hell Resident Evil 15th Anniversary Box.
Japan is getting itself a sexy-object gaming monument to the Resident Evil franchise this Fall. Or should I call it the Biohazard franchise? No, Wolverine! Wait, where was I? Oh yeah, Japan. Swank ass Resident Evil anniversary box. Right, right.
THE LAST CIRCUS: An Operatic Orgy of Hyper-Violence and Love
From visionary Spanish director Ãlex de la Iglesia (Day of the Beast, The Perfect Crime) comes one of the most beautifully batshit insane movies you will see in 2011. Easily one of the most unforgettable films I’ve seen in the past five years, The Last Circus is an epic, operatic orgy of hyper-violence that gives a new meaning to the phrase “love triangle.” It’s also an incredibly confident and well-crafted film that’s destined for cult status.
Space Shuttle Atlantis Takes Off For The Final Time. Sadness Time.
Today the Space Shuttle Atlantis broke through the sky for the final time. Taking with it the hopes and dreams of millions of space-loving dorks like myself. Silently wondering just when the fuck we’re going to get up there again, take exploring the Universe seriously once more.
Friday Brew Review – Harpoon Cider
Rummaging through the Fourth of July liquid leftovers, I came across a couple bottles of Harpoon Cider. Even though my aversion to IPAs has led me to generally steer clear of Harpoon, my well-documented affinity for cider is mighty powerful. And so I’ve found myself yet again reliving a subverted childhood memory, pounding apple-drank and catching a buzz.
Thirteen New Stills From ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’. America, Frak Yeah!
Here’s thirteen new stills from the upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger. As the movie approaches, my red, white, and blue priapism continues to swell. I am desperate for some release. Also, the more I see of it, the more I love Cap’s suit. Especially with the battle helmet.

Watch The Entire BioShock Infinite E3 Demo. Right Here. So Far Away.
Confession: I cannot watch this. The entire BioShock Infinite E3 demo. Can’t watch. If I do, it’ll send me into a tizzy of half-words, much-vomit, and sprints around the neighborhood. I’m excitable. I need this game. My body cannot handle such a tither. I bring it to you though, should you be interested and capable of absorbing so much rock knowing the game is still a turn of the calendar away.
Watch A Comet Streak Across The Sun’s Surface. A Glorious Burning Death.

‘Batman: Year One’ Animated Movie Gets A Trailer.
The animated adaptation of Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s classic Batman defining tale has gotten itself a trailer. It’s hard to adapt the son of a bitch into anything, but it seems to be relatively dope. Within the parameters and everything, it could work.
Save for Wayne’s voice. Youch.
