I know it's been a long time since the last update. I've been busy.
Here's some stuff to make it up to you.
Working in the video game industry is pretty funny sometimes. We've
taken up a practice of "Hoffing" each other, whereby whenever
we see anybody who has stepped away from their computer without
locking it we go over and put up a picture of David Hasselhoff as
the wallpaper. It's gotten to the point where even when I'm at home,
I've taken up the entirely unnecessary practice of locking my computer
to prevent getting "Hoffed."
Anyways on to the news.
Here's a very entertaining
interview from Game Informer with Cliffy B.
Bleszinski: I think Nintendo has a place. You know, Sony's always
said this. But it seems to me like Nintendo is more interested lately
in doing like just weird stuff like they're a think tank, you know?
Like to try and push gaming forward in its own interesting and unique
direction. They've got games like the bongo game, and that game
that's like pinball against an army. And it's like, "Okay,
congratulations. You're different. You win." It's like the
kid who gets a big tattoo on his forehead at school. It's like,
"Well, you're different."

E3
trailer of Counter-Strike Source.
This is an article with an overview
of what the Source engine is capable of
"If you've seen the Matrix (who hasn't, right?), you're familiar
with the office building scene where Neo and Trinity blast away
a lower level filled with pillars. The walls, the floors, and the
pillars themselves were made of marble. Source doesn't go so far
as to allow you to actually chip away at walls, however it makes
you feel like it's so during a firefight. Clipping walls as you
trace a player behind them will give you the feeling that you're
actually doing damage to the structure. Bullet impressions stay,
and look very realistic."
