Movie Review: The Green Hornet
Most times, you know if a Seth Rogen film is a good idea because you either love him or hate him, but it’d be unfair to toss The Green Hornet out just because he stars in it… and co-wrote the script. Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is that this film came out of left field and was a hilarious, if a tad uneven, surprise.
An Erotic Mini-Game Collection For Motion Controllers? Okay.
Is the good ol’ “dinner and a movie” just not cutting the cake? Are those episodes of Babylon 5 just not getting you and your significant other excited? Well, Ubisoft is publishing We Dare, a non-explicit game with entirely explicit gameplay connotations. What do I mean? Well, just catch the trailer after the break.
Modern Warfare 3 To Be Revealed In 4 Days? Looks Like It.
The guys over at Joystiq just got their hands on some dogtags that appear to be part of a new viral marketing campaign for the new Modern Warfare game. The package also came with referral to findmakarov.com which hosts the countdown you see above. Now, Activision has enough dollars in the bank to ensure the game is going to be super huge success regardless as to who’s developing it (the now slightly dilapidated Infinity Ward, that is), but would it hurt them a bit to tease some new IP? Really?

Using Your Phone To Call People? Huh?
What you see above is how Sprint views how I’ve used my phone in the past month. That half gig of data? Not scary. The texts? Nothin’. That talk time? That’s where they have to be shaking up. Seriously, who uses their phone to talk to people?
Best Buy Is Losing Its Edge
The electronics industry did a heckuva thing in the decade and change that I worked at Best Buy as a floor-level grunt. Music on compact discs peaked and vanished, a sea of other retailers bit the dust, but even the big blue box that survived it all became slightly more irrelevant in an era of internet commerce and discount outlets. Isn’t it then ironic that the world’s largest electronics retailer is looking more draconian in an era of Facebook and Foursquare?
Uh-oh: Sprint And Samsung Pull Froyo Update For Epic 4G Because Of Data Problems
Sprint giveth, Sprint taketh away. After the Epic’s 2.2/Froyo update started going out Over The Air (OTA) for Samsung’s Epic 4G, the nation’s third-largest carrier started getting an influx of calls from customers being unable to access content on their SD cards. The update has since been pulled to iron things out while those suffering with data issues are advised to do a hard reset (read: flashing the phone to a just-out-of-the-box state). As an Epic user, I haven’t had any issues since I grabbed the update directly from Samsung’s website and installed it via USB, but here’s hoping this doesn’t stymie further updates to the feature-beleaguered phone.

Teaser Trailer Released For The Hangover 2
Maybe it’s because the first Hangover did about half a billion dollars at the box office (which still absolutely blows my mind), but they’re doing another one. Apple just put up the new teaser trailer and, y’know, whatever, enjoy it I guess. I didn’t care much for the original, partially because it wasn’t terribly funny, but also the idea of getting over a hangover in Vegas came off as one of the most easy ideas for a movie in existence. Anyway, this new film sends the Wolfpack to Thailand for Stu’s (Ed Helms) wedding where they encounter a barrage of crazy cameos and I’m sure, possibly, a hangover. We’ll see.
Sprint’s First Windows Phone Lands March 20th… And I’m Not Getting It
As the self-proclaimed World’s Largest Windows Phone Fan, it seems incredibly difficult for me to actually own a Windows Phone. Eight years loyal to Sprint and three years loyal to the Windows-based Zune phone, Microsoft launched it last October with internationally-favored GSM hardware to reach the broadest audience out of the gate. This meant no Sprint phone. Now that the HTC Arrive has finally been announced, I have to say with a frown and an air of disappointment that I’m still not going to get my hands on one. As Bob Dole once said, I just can’t win.
Why Aren’t Games Fun Anymore?
This is bizarre: almost every game I’ve purchased in a physical format – a shiny disc in a plastic case – I’ve wanted to immediately resell. What the heck is wrong with me?
New Command & Conquer Game? Hopefully It Won’t Suck?
Don’t you remember that era, right around the mid-90s, when the PC was experiencing a strategy game renaissance? That primordial era from which excellent games like Dungeon Keeper, Warcraft, Dark Reign, X-COM, and all those Sim- games came from? No? Well it happened, and one of the reigning champions was the cutting edge Command & Conquer series. EA recently unveiled a new game in the series – produced by a new studio – and quickly yanked all proof of its existence, but in an era when Starcraft 2 is the champion of the form, do we really need another C&C game?
