‘THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG’ Trailer: OH GOD LEGOLAS WHATEVER.
Here’s the trailer for The Desolation of Smaug. I’m not going to stunt, I enjoy seeing some dragon up in the game. It’s a shame that it took a three-hour prelude movie. It’s a shame that Jackson has to stick every fucking bit of fan service into these movies that he can. Whatever, whatever. Benjamin Cumbersnatch as a dragon. Right on.
What do you all think of the trailer?

E3 vs PR – Part II: The Whirlwind of E3’s Media Days
The Monday and Tuesday of the annual E3 week are always a fascinating pair of days to watch unfold from a PR perspective. The show floor opens its doors to attendees on Tuesday afternoon, but by then, an entire story has been told to the media through a series of conferences, briefings and events that kick off the week.
E3 seems unlike any other industry trade show on the planet. It’s equivalents in other industries, from television, to film, to fashion, to food, all seem tame by comparison. At least, from the perspective of public relations.
First Look: CAPTAIN AMERICA’S UNIFORM from ‘WINTER SOLDIER.’ Well, better than the ‘AVENGERS’ one.
I wasn’t a fan of Captain America’s outfit in Avengers. Looked all Hot Topic fetishware for my taste, with my primary complaint being the mask. So I’m pretty excited for any new outfit. Here’s a look at some concept art that displays what Mr. America will be donning in his second flick.
‘THE LAST GUARDIAN’ is ‘ON HIATUS.’ Confirmed to be SPENDING WEEKENDS with ‘HALF-LIFE 3.’
The Last Guardian is “oh hiatus”? Uhhh. I know it’s not the same thing, but a game that hasn’t been shown for years isn’t one that I consider active. Hiding, “on hiatus”, in development Hell. These are all roses by another name. At least to me.
‘STAR WARS: EPISODE VII’ Rumor: Story stars UNCLE LUKE, AND JEDI KIDS.
I don’t particularly buy this rumor, but I really dig anything Star Wars related. So I’ll indulge it. If the latest batch of boiling nonsense is to be believed, Episode VII is going to be starring Uncle Luke and his Force-sensitive niece and nephew.
Press Start: WRUP Sell-Out Edition
So, I’ve finally done it. Almost devoid of ideas and convinced that the ones I do have are far too pretentious, I find myself writing a ‘What Are You Playing?’ column. Lynch me now if this sort of thing offends you, or feel free to funnel praise up my willing arsehole if you dig it. I might find myself at the bottom of this particular barrel on more occasions than I’d like.
‘FINAL FANTASY XV’ REVEAL TRAILER: Active Time Boner!
I’m running out of headlines, folks. Been blogging for a solid twelve hours now. I’m really enthused for this game. Maybe it’ll let me down. Maybe it won’t. The Diet Pepsi coiling itself around my brain stem tells me not to worry about it. To just take off my pants. Run through the lightly falling rain. Hide in a trash can. Eat banana rinds.
I should listen, right?
PS4 CONFERENCE SHITS ALL OVER the XBOX ONE’S DRM, RESTRICTIONS. #ShotsFired
The biggest pop today at the pre-E3 conferences came when Sony audibly shat all down the throat of Microsoft’s unpopular restrictions, and online policies. It was an amazingly earnest moment at what is usually a bunch of canned, forced, presentations. Imma go ahead and rub my face against PS4 screenshots.
FIRST LOOK: The PLAYSTATION 4. HERE ARE MANY PICS OF IT.
So uh, yeah. More as it comes. I’m fine with it. (Seriously, do we really care about console designs?)
