Joel Johnson on Trolls and Haters
Because I like Joel Johnson and because I despise the rampant social degradation of the most vocal people on the internet.

Cheer up Shizuka
AKB48′s åÆuà (Oya Shizuka) was seen sobbing, when at a fan meet and greet, she received very little attention in comparison to the other 47 girls. She’s famous so she really doesn’t have it as bad as say the girl that has no friends that sits in the back row of class, but it’s still a pretty harsh scenario with all the the pressue the industry places on its idols. I’d offer a hug but I’d probably be charged for it.
Video of the moment here. She breaks down from it all a bit after the 4 min mark. (T_T)
AKB48′s latest single “Beginner” is currently #2 on Japan’s Billboard 100.

- Don’t make her cry, just say hi you assholes!

It’s not porn
JP just dropped this on my desk saying here’s your porn. Then I looked at it and thought, “it does look suspiciously like porn…”
Though Chandra is looking hot on Michael Komarck’s awesome cover.

Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO review: Leaving Las Vegas
Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO is an Xbox Live exclusive demo of the upcoming title Dead Rising 2. Billed at 400 MS monies, this translates as $5 in American monies.
Dead Rising 2′s original street date was today but has been pushed back to September 28th.
In Case Zero, we are introduced to our hero Chuck Greene and his daughter Katey. Two years have passed since the outbreak at Willamette (Dead Rising), and the events at Fortune City (Dead Rising 2) are three years away. Escaping Las Vegas zombie outbreak, the Greene family stops 47 miles out to the small town of Still Creek. Chuck pulls into Brockett Gas Station for some fuel, taking Katey with him inside to check the place for supplies. Katey is sick. Really sick. Zombie sick. Little Katey has been bitten and the only hope she has is for Chuck to administer the zombification halting drug Zombrex every 12 hours.
Zombrex was designed by medical technician Isabella Keyes in Dead Rising to save Frank West. Zombrex is rare, expensive, and deadly if taken before or after the recommended every 12 hours prescription.
In horror scene fashion, some ass hops into Chuck’s truck and hauls away, leaving Chuck and Katey stranded in Still Creek. Worst yet, all of Katey’s Zombrex was in the truck. The undead residents begin shambling toward the gas station, and Chuck barricades the door, knowing he’s gotta come up with a way out. With Katey secure in the makeshift safehouse, Chuck decides to risk going outside into town. Checking his watch, it’s 7 AM. Daddy’s got to get his medicine…
Inafune quotes: “I have always had doubts about doing a demo…Everyone seems to want to do them. Rather than create a demo for Dead Rising 2 I wanted to set up a different area and let people see what the game play is like.”
“This is definitely a test case.”
This demo is short though the replay value is high. If you loved the first game, you’ll dig this for sure.
BONUS FACT: After playing Dead Rising at my cousin’s house in Albuquerque, three days later as soon as I got home in San Francisco I bought an Xbox360 and a copy of Dead Rising .
You will run around Still Creek, bashing zombies, looking for weapons to bash zombies with, and experiment with combining items in the maintenance rooms to better bash zombies with. You will run into survivors and be introduced to the different methods of rescue which consist of giving them the inventory item they desire, kill all the zombies around them, talk to X person, carry the injured, and escort. You will have a fucking great time. All this is optional. The only required things to do are the 5 case files, but the demo is set to let you achieve every side quest within the time limits of the main missions. Once you get all the achievements though, the title loses incentive to replay. Though you can carry over your Prestige Points and Money from Case Zero into Dead Rising 2 so that may appeal to the grinders out there.
