Earlier today the word came down - I had, coming my way, a couple copies of Transformers DS (Autobots and Decepticons) and a pass to see a preview screening of the movie tomorrow night!

Hopefully, the wait in line is going to be worth it…

*update*

I don’t want to spoil the movie since it’s not out for a couple of days - if you like action films you should go give it a viewing. I will say however - when BumbleBee is introduced, pay attention to the air freshener hanging from his rear view. Also, keep an eye out for the line: “Opps, my bad!”

Yay! Just got home and my e-mail box had a present for me - in the form of a beta invite for Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa! So, I’ll be dedicating all of my bandwidth to downloading the client - along with 9,999 other people. I’ll have to go back and see if there was an NDA or something - I don’t recall signing one but… I better check before I post something I shouldn’t.

I haven’t mentioned it here - but, everyone who has wandered near my cube - knows that I am really excited about the upcoming release of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Although, I have to admit once I had a chance to play the arcade version again today I was completely destroyed. Apparently, you can forget how to play - mind you I wasn’t the greatest player but, I could hold my own (ah, memories - and lots of quarters). I was always very sad that the arcade I work at many years ago did not have SSF2T as it was a few years after it’s release and the owner always thought that Soul Calibur was a better draw. So, with this retro goodness it was good to hear that Super Puzzle Fighter would also be receiving a fresh coat of paint and released on Xbox Live Arcade. These releases may very well lead to my first purchases from the Live Arcade. Which is a difficult thing to accomplish since as far as I’m concerned everything up there is over priced - also, I don’t believe in the whole Live points (or whatever they are called) system - just charge me five bucks and be done with it!

Whatever - I’ve got to figure out some time in my schedule where I can fit in some training…

For some reason my feed subscription to Haze’s Mame WIP page wasn’t working so I missed the news yesterday when it was posted… Capcom’s Play System 3 encryption has been broken by Andreas! Now, this does not mean you can go grab a copy of MAME and play Street Fighter 3 yet, but maybe someday soon…

First day back at the studio and this was making the rounds… Enjoy.
