Send In The Clowns | Twisted Metal Coverage & Super Awesome Giveaway! [Update]

Production value.

I got it in spades. Theme music and high quality props are what you get when Foo Productions takes over. As you can tell with the picture, I wrote everyone’s name down and carefully sliced those into tabs – all about the same size – wanted to make it as fair as possible.

Who won?

Well, I guess you’ll have to watch the video and get my YouTube views up – won’t you? Special thanks goes out to Mrs. FooBear for filming this contest with her academy award-winning style. Congratulations goes to the winner and I’ll be contacting them like a midget.

Shortly.

[Review] Jurassic Park: The Game Episode 1

Jurassic Park, the groundbreaking Steven Spielberg film series has long been a franchise that our team at Telltale wanted to tackle. As a property Jurassic Park is a story of survival and interpersonal relationships under extreme circumstance, something that traditional game genres simply are not built to address authentically.

Our designers truly pushed our traditional design boundaries further than ever before to create a game to focus the experience on this story of survival. With a design laser focused to follow the franchise tenants like no other film based game has ever done it’s a format we’ve labeled as a cinematic adventure. A design built not for the hardcore gamer but rather for the hardcore Jurassic Park fan, one that has always dreamed of spending some time on Isla Nublar. The final product has been polarizing with traditional game critics, but one thing that just about everyone can agree on is Jurassic Park: The Game delivers on our original vision – an authentic and cinematic Jurassic Park experience.

Free Points Saturday | February 4th

Well, I was almost late with this one, but to my credit, it is still technically Saturday in the states! Anyway, did a little bit of a hunt for you guys to find this one (it should actually be a quick one, but I’ve been wrong before). I wouldn’t say that it’s hard, but you might have to do some thinking on this one. First clue:

“I want to keep things private.”
Clue 2: “There should be a policy against that.”
Clue 3: “That was the highlight of my day.”
Clue 4: “I’ve been searching for that video he uploaded.”

Send In The Clowns | Twisted Metal Coverage & Super Awesome Giveaway!

Twisted Metal and David Jaffe.

Two entities that the foggy city by the bay are not ready for. I ventured forth outside my east bay domicile around 2pm with the intention of being first in line. After a very droll BART ride to the city, I arrived at the San Francisco event greeted by a motley crüe of true believers. This should not be without surprise, since Jaffe and the Twisted Metal genre both have a more than loyal following.

FPS Question 2

Due to issues with the first post, I had to make this question into its own post. Again, good luck!

In one of the many vehicular combat titles, one in particular included this character, which had a special attack/weapon whose effectiveness was dependent on the proximity of its victims. It would expel an explosive shockwave from the “vehicle’s” platform, even being effective while in the air. What was the name of this character?
