Kid makes Halo 3 Weapons out of Cardboard

July 14th, 2008 | 6 Comments | Posted in Entertainment, Videos

Pretty sweet stuff I guess, right? Instead of going out to parties and everything, I could be making the world’s greatest cardboard Halo Weapon Arsenal. My life no longer has meaning. =[

But really, the fact that he’s even got the reloading attachments in there is pretty awesome, and they actually do look like the weapons… except in a cardboard form… and shinier… and not as beautifully 3D rendered…

Yeah… I guess their only real use is looking cool on the internet.

CTDS Site is up in Japan, but not North America…

July 6th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Entertainment



Well as I mentioned last night, something cool was about to happen… in Japan, at least. They’ve opened up a domain for the game: http://chronotrigger.jp. Meanwhile if we go to http://www.chronotrigger.com/ we see what was once a Chrono Trigger fansite, but now down for “reconstruction.” The same thing happened with Diablo3.com though, it was once a fansite but then Blizzard took it over, so Square-Enix could be doing the same thing here.

Anyway, the Japanese page for Chrono Trigger DS now has a spiffy intro movie, as well as a big chart telling about the game but in some foreign language unknown to man so we can’t read it! Meanwhile in North America, nothing good happened! There’s not even a countdown! Just a clock! Who needs clocks?!

Something cool will happen in nine hours!

something-cool-will-happen-in-nine-hours

In continuation to our Square-Enix “Countdown Site” coverage, the countdown site is actually counting down, to something finally, THUS, legally making it a “Countdown Site” as opposed to a “Why do I need to see this, I already have a clock on my system tray” site.

Blizzard hasn’t shared Everything…

July 2nd, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Entertainment, Rumors & Speculation

Blizzard Entertainment has recently announced the development of Starcraft II and Diablo III, but is that really all that they have planned? Speaking at the Invitational was Blizzard’s Rob Pardo, who said that “there is still one unknown project” currently under development at Blizzard, which is being worked on by “another development team”.

Chrono Trigger DS Confirmed!

July 2nd, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Entertainment

Shortly after launching its “Countdown Site,” Square-Enix has officially announced that one of the greatest games of all time, Chrono Trigger, will be making its return to the hands of gamers everywhere, in Chrono Trigger DS. Unlike the Final Fantasy and Dragonquest remakes, Chrono Trigger’s graphics will not be getting a graphical overhaul, however will be reformatted to fit the DS’ dual-screen set-up, and add touch-screen functionality. They also plan to add in a new dungeon as well as some sort of “Wireless play” mode, so keeping all of this in mind we can assume it will be just as awesome as the original with some added goodies.

Square-Enix plans to have Chrono Trigger DS out by the upcoming holdiay season.

Square-Enix launches “Countdown Site”

July 2nd, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Entertainment

Square-Enix has launched a new “Countdown Site” which is made up of a Nintendo DS logo and a clock that makes ticking noises which aren’t in-sync with the actual second hand.

Judging by the clock and the site’s address (http://www.square-enix.co.jp/ctds / ) we can assume that they will be releasing a DS port of Chrono Trigger or something different but within the same theme.

Square-Enix closed down a fan-built Chrono Trigger Ressurection Project back in 2004 which would be a hint that the company still had plans for the series and didn’t want Fans taking off with it. We’ll have more news for you here as the story develops.

Diablo III has Been Confirmed!

June 29th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Entertainment

…Yesterday! That is. Rumors and pleas for a third installment in the Diablo series have been in circulation for years now, and Blizzard looks not to let their fans down, by finally developing Diablo III!

I’m sure that I don’t speak for myself when I say that I’m extremely happy and excited, being Diablo is the only online RPG that I actually like and don’t get bored with in three seconds. Gamespot has a twenty-minute narrated demonstration of the game up which is filled with pure awesomeness. The modern graphics, as well as the new environmental effects look absolutely stunning.

Blizzard’s not quite set on an actual release date at this time, but they’ll hopefully be giving plenty of information on classes and the story to keep us all sane as we finally come to the end of this long wait.
