Hi all,
As there’s a lot going on this week I thought I would write a little wrap up of some events coming our way.
Starting off on a reminder that the Bodyjar gig is coming up this Friday @ Rubies. If you’ve read my previous post (clicky) then you’ll know that Blueline Medic will also be supporting the jar so this is looking to be one hell of a night. For the pennies crew that are interested in going please leave a comment or send me a message to let me know as i’ll picking up tickets in the city tomorrow. Its a bargain at only $18 so make sure to get your arse down to Belgrave for Bodyjar’s last Melbourne gig of the year.
On another music related note Operator Please will be playing at the JB HiFi Burke Street Mall store tomorrow @ 4pm. I know this will particularly please Count Knuckles as he recently brought their new album (by the way I’m expecting a great review). I don’t know if The Count can make it but I’ll try and try get there just so I settle once and for all if they really did get rid of their last keyboard player.
Now onto game related news. It seems that quite a few games have had their release date pushed back. First of all Eternal Sonata was pushed back and now it looks like Assassins Creed and Mass Effect are now going to be released a week later than expected on the 21st and the 22nd respectively. Hopefully this isn’t a current trend for the xbox360 as it really pisses me off. Supposedly Assassins Creed was bumped because of manufacturing and freight problems, but the whole things sounds a bit suss. First of all they don’t release a demo and won’t reveal real details on the game and now it’s been delayed. In my opinion this could all just be a cover up for hastily trying to release a game before it’s been properly finished. Anyway time will tell, but if you’re interested you can check it out in action at the eGames expo on this weekend (clicky).
On a brighter gaming note it looks like that part the fall Summer (oops i’m not fucking America) dashboard update will soon allow people to download and play the original xbox titles on their 360. This sounds like it could be a cheap way of catching up on some classic games that you might have missed out as they are said to be priced at only 1200 gamer points. Some of the first titles being released include the grandfather of hype Halo, Burnout 3 and Crash Bandicoot. It also sounds like this dashboard update could be the best one yet as it will supposedly allow the potential to play DivX vids which should finally cement it’s position as a ‘real’ media player. Hooray people can finally throw out their modded xbox’s.
On a final note I’ll leave you with some world news. Before you think oh no he’s going to go all political and talk about the middle east, it’s actually about South Korea. Their commerce industry has announced that they will try build two robot theme parks for $1.6 billion by 2013. Awesome Assemo’s for everyone! I just hope it doesn’t turn out like Itchy and Scratchy land and they all go nuts and start killing everyone.
