Emergence Day

Emergence HoleMy brother pointed me to an article yesterday depicting a huge sink hole. I don’t know the details, can’t read “Bakken kollapset og slukte hus” but that’s an emergence hole if I’ve ever seen one! Now where’s my chainsaw gun when I need it? There will be some locust slicing action in the near future!

In other gaming related news, Jules has taken to playing New Super Mario Bros. on the DS. And by ‘taken to’ I mean she occasionally makes the recognizable outcry that roughly translates to “I’ve died 10 times on this same part! !(*&#^!@(*&”

Good luck Jules, we’ve all been there.

GameSpot is falling behind, technically

Below is a trailer of Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike, a game I might play if I had someone to play it with and a better graphics card. Unfortunately I had to grab the trailer from GameTrailers.

I think trailers can do wonders for game sales. I don’t know why more companies don’t focus on making amazing trailers. Sometimes, after seeing a trailer for a video game I get so excited by it that I already know I’m going to buy the game. Even if it sucks. Haha. Maybe one day I’ll make a list of my top trailers.

I don’t know why GameSpot doesn’t have embeddable videos yet. I think the GameSpot live team is one of the greatest assets to the site and we’re really losing out by not only lacking the ability to embed out videos but not even being able to link directly to them. If I see an awesome video on GameSpot and I want to share it with someone I have to download it and then upload it through the user videos section on GameSpot and then link to that. It’s pretty annoying. Get it together GameSpot (and TV.com and MP3.com and FilmSpot!).
