I Spent All Morning...

working on Nobody Knocks stuff. Getting a website from fruition to up and running, and then trying to promote it at all the appropriate places, WHILE sitting at my desk at work was like running an e-marathon. Or maybe like jumping hurdles. Yeah like jumping hurdles.

I'm already smitten with the PSP slim. Every time I go to the store it stares at me lovingly from behind the glass like a puppy that just wants me to take it home. It whimpers...remember all the fun we used to have? Then I remind it there are no good games to play on it, and it says...but I have Skype now. That's not a game PSP I shoot back....then it gives me the eyes and it says I can go on the internet. Then I look up and see a couple of games I probably wouldn't mind playing and I get weepy, but I walk away. So when I see this bad ass mint green PSP in Japan I get even more butterflies in my tummy.

Further proof that Dan Hsu is a total bad ass. The EIC over at EGM(that was fun to type)wrote in the latest issue that Ubisoft, Sony Sports, and Midway's Mortal Kombat division have stopped sending them free games to review because of low review scores. You might remember Mr. Hsu from about two years ago when he ripped into Peter Moore about why Microsoft couldn't get enough Xbox 360's out the door. You have to remember this was at a time when everyone was kissing his ass, and Hsu just tore him a new one. The fact that he just came right out and put that in a printed magazine is amazing. It's too bad EGM has turned into a pamphlet full of game ads.

Now the biggest news today was out of CES. Microsoft has said that if customers demand it then they will release a Blu-Ray drive for the 360. This is Microsoft who had swore up and down that they were backing HD-DVD big time, but with almost every major studio jumping ship to Blu-Ray exclusive it looks like it might be time to admit defeat. Hopefully there is some kind of trade in deal for all those who bought HD-DVD players and drives.
