Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, May 09, 2002 5:55pm PDTWasnt today just exciting! I'm dying here for E3 to come so we can see all kinds of cool stuff. Maarten and Jason seem eager to provide some good coverage of things. Generally the past couple of years there hasnt been any really exceptional coverage of the event anywhere. I dont really have high hopes for how our stuff is going to turn out, because honestly I tend to just get caught up in the fun of the event or get stuck talking about vertical marketplaces with some biz slimeballs. Here is cool stuff?
- Rosie shows some real class in advertising - Speaking of marketing... Bloggers selling out? - Even more on marketing! Doubleclick privacy - Next christmas I'm getting a penis tree - Wait a second, they pick cheerleaders based on looks? - Monster iceberg!Lastly, congrats to our own shacker Klerck. Who managed to get mentioned on every movie news page on the web, and make is way to places like MSNBC, Annanova, and countless others. Your tongue in cheek petition is a a shining beacon of what is so glorious about the internet. Or not.

Do you think they should be held responsible for that? In my mind it's different from the GeF4 thing that best buy had going on... I mean come on, these people totally want a free ride. Class action suit? Fuck off.

Reviewers like that annoy the crap out of me. They pan everything and use big words to explain why they don't think it's contributing anything to society.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Lucas does not make every effects sequence himself. I doubt he could even monkey his way around the software. He might give SOME ideas and he definitely approves them but the people who deserve credit are the ones who do the actual work.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: MSNBC & Ananova report that a rather ridiculous petition has gone up to ban the TT title - sheesh, these people organising this rather silly venture need to wake up. Meanwhile TheOneRing.Net confirms new trailers for the second chapter will premiere in May and September.
teehee

Some people were concerned about the cd-rom requirements for GTA3 PC, and they have officially listed it as being a normal 8x cd-drive as being the minimum. Seems odd because I thought the ps2 version was a dvd <shrug>.
Lastly, groups of people who were heavily involved with the modding of GTA1 and GTA2 have been in contact w/ Rockstar to unoffically say that it WILL be possible to add new cars, new skins, new pedestrians, new cities(!) and new missions.
For more GTA3 info as it comes out, I recommend this site:
