tommorow morning in nyc nintendo holds a press conference. it’s really unique that gamers are so ready for this, and the unsuspecting mass public is kind of clueless right now. come this christmas it seems they won’t be able to ignore it. It so reminds me of the 8-bit days, when there was this newness to video games. and there was this upbeat attitude about the whole experience.

It’s so funny as well that thousands( maybe millions by some reports) of fanboys(myself included) just spent the past hour or so hitting refresh on our computers reading a supposed live blog from the Japanese press event. The event actually starts in a few hours. Amazing in this technological day and age, we can’t figure out the difference in time zone. we all got pawned, and yeah i hate that word, but we did. see you tommorow or maybe tonight if we now have our timeline straight.

O.k. fun times, no sleep. Friday we drove to grinell to see rainer maria. they still have so much energy. love them. really do. also had a pretty good chinese buffet there in little ole grinell.

slept three hours got up went to chicago for the creation event. 1st let me say im not a big fan of the way creation does cons. they only have one main room for programming, and a dealers room and the rest of the day revolves around autographs. if your like me and could care less about someones handwriting, then it leads to some overpriced boredom. I enjoyed the thirty minites each that Shatner and nimoy spoke though. They are truly class acts and really quite funny together. I’m glad I got to see them and here good news about Shatner meeting with JJ Abrams but not thrilled with Creation. I guess i just prefer the more local, (i.e. not for profit cons). Off to see The Proposition.

u.s. and japan only get 500,000 at launch. hahaha. it’s so funny. Sony what in the world is going on over in your tokyo offices?
There are some hilarious photoshop posters over on thisiswaiting.com
My favorite has got to be the dear sony Wii wish you a merry X-mas. Wii60 looks more and more like the way to go. God I’m just trying to comprehend how a multibillion dollar company like Sony can run a business so poorly this past year. Really what is happening? Stocks will fall, heads will roll, and Nintendo and Microsoft will laugh all the way to the bank.
