I Just Wanna Dance
Touching is good,
Time for another edition of random video game news! Exciting!
I was just on CNN.com and in the most prominent advertising space there was taken up by Brain Age. Beyond being the first time I have seen any game software advertised on a non-geek site, it really shows that Nintendo is serious about reaching out to older audiences with their Touch Generations line. Some people complain about the proliferation of "Non-Games" of late, fearing for some reason that their preferred "Hardcore" titles will lose favor with publishers. This is just silly. A larger audience for the industry will not only help profits, paving the way for those big-budget extravaganzas we all know and love, but also gaming's image. When your grandmother is playing Excite Truck, it is difficult to argue that it is only for nerds and social outcasts.
Second, it has been revealed that the Metal Gear Solid main theme bears striking similarities to a 1974 piece by a classical Russian composer. See for yourself.
I'm not really sure what to make of this. Was this intentional plagiarism by TAPPY? Unintentional? An unhappy coincidence? Does it matter? How did it go so long without being noticed? A hoax? International copyright law is a sticky issue. I'm stumped. Thoughts?
Lastly, but most importantly, Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core has been announced for a Fall 2007 US release. Hell yeah, Order-Sol, here I come.
I've got a jar of dirt,

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool!
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
Joshua, why you have to play us like that?
