New Nintendo Console Announced, Our Predictions

May 10, 2011 Games

Thanks to IGN user Aaron Carr for this mock up.

After weeks of speculation that Nintendo are ready to unveil their new console, codenamed â€˜Project CafÃ©â€™, at E3 2011 the company confirmed that they would indeed be doing so this past week.
Â
Of course this isnâ€™t the most interesting news. Most gamers I know, that follow the industry, have predicted this for months. After all the Wiiâ€™s sales are slowing, there hadnâ€™t been many games announced for 2011 and the console is definitely showing itâ€™s age. What is interesting are the many rumours surrounding the console.

Hit the jump to see our predictions on what the next Nintendo console will featureâ€¦

A few of my favorite horror movies

May 10, 2011 Movies

"Hello, Clarice..."

Iâ€™m a fan of horror movies but the ones I love most are the ones that are more psychological thrillers. Iâ€™m not opposed to blood, gore, guts and so on though unless itâ€™s done just right I do get rather tired of it in excess. But I love movies that mess with your head. The reason this is on my mind today is thanks to watching one of those movies with a group of friends last night. After seeing it I felt the need to share some of my top favorite movies that donâ€™t rely as much on gore but instead love to mess with your mind.

Donâ€™t worry, I promise not to give any spoilers just in case there are folks who havenâ€™t seen one or more of these movies.

Free Comic Book Day

May 9, 2011 Comics

Elf as Mara Jade

Ah, Free Comic Book Day. The first Saturday in May that many geeks eagerly anticipate. The past few years Iâ€™ve been working on that most awesome of days but this year I happened to be free and ended up working with folks from a local geek convention (Geek Media Expo) to do some promoting at one of the Nashville comic stores.

More Dark Tower casting rumors!

May 5, 2011 Movies, Television

The Dark Tower

As a huge Dark Tower fan you guys know that Iâ€™m constantly listening for rumors and such of casting for the new miniseries/movie. The whole Javier Bardem as Roland thing still rubs me the wrong way (as thatâ€™s the only confirmed casting that I can find at the moment) but Iâ€™ll try to reserve my final judgment until I actually see his performance. For all we know he might be brilliant in the role.

But today I caught a whiff of another casting rumor from a friend on twitter. The source is IMDB which can be unreliable but it did make me cross my fingers in hope.
