Last night's In Plain Sight was really good. The commercials looked enticing, but it posed a really good question. Plus, Marshall actually taking charge and the show giving Cristian some good scenes equal win all around.

( Wall•E )

And yes, Act One of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is already up. GO WATCH!

My thoughts about E3

The last two days were the conferences at E3, which continues for the rest of the week. I ignored Microsoft completely but I saw bits and pieces about it on Twitter. Today was Nintendo and Sony's turns. Nintendo was lame. When the best thing Nintendo has to offer is a new Animal Crossing, that's bad. I've never played Animal Crossing before but I wanted the Wii version for a long time. The Wii Music and Wii Sports Resort are okay but they're not decent games. Everything else was already coming out and wasn't a big surprise. I missed the part about Wii Speak or whatever, but since I want Animal Crossing I'll probably hear about it in depth later. It was kind of nice seeing Shaun White's game but I don't really play sports games on the Wii and as much as I will buy it without questions asked, the GTA: Chinatown Wars game seems a bit odd. The graphics will be worse than the PSP games!

And those statistics about girl gamers bothered me, because Nintendo is too focused on the amount of girls playing video games. I don't want more cutesy children's games disguised as games aimed at women. The best thing any corporation could do to invite more girl gamers is make stronger heroines like Samus and Lara Croft without the T&A that so strongly veers to the male demographic. I don't mind the T&A but I'm sure that alienates more girls (or their parental units) than the shooting and blood.

Nothing about a new DS (DS Lite is still selling strongly) so I guess my new black one is mine for a bit while longer.

Sony was amazing though. If I didn't want PS3 already... and the PSP games actually look enticing. I only use my PSP for mobile Twittering and quick access to the internet. If I had bought a iPod touch in January instead of the classic I would've sold my PSP already. But then again, I love Infected and Loco Roco too much to lose them. This is why I still have my Game Gear-- I still like the three games I have for it.

Felicia Day twittered about Dr. Horrible breaking the internet and I was pleased. I can't wait for tonight. And look! I'll wait until the last act before deciding which side I'm on ;) but the Captain Hammer tee looks kinda awesome. And the Hammer groupie shirt seems to be winning in popularity so far, based on the shirts left in stock.
