Lastly, it looks like we'll have 4 of us at E3 this year. For a while it was looking
like E3 wouldnt really have much to show but we've had a number of publishers and
developers over the last month tell us that they were planning on showing off new stuff
there this year. We will have a couple of HD cameras with us too.

Finished it on Path of the Warrior tonight. I have to go to sleep in a couple minutes for work, so I will write my full thoughts/review and post it tomorrow.
TL;DR Ninja Gaiden 2 is an excellent followup to its beloved predecessor, despite some very real flaws that keep it from surpassing the original. For all of the really annoying, horrid design flaws this game has, that didn't stop me from addictively powering through it this weekend.
Side note: I've uploaded a video in Ninja Cinema of myself playing a part of the first level on Path of the Mentor. I didn't do too badly, considering you start out with the Dragon Sword at level suck. As you can see, it's pretty damn tense, and knowing parts from Path of the Warrior, makes me think this difficulty will be next to impossible. :(

Mixed by some DJ, it's got a house beat going on, but the lyrics are all about some guy living out in the woods and building a house out of logs and stuff like that, more like a folk song.
Some guy at work today introduced me to that and a few other songs, and now I can't remember what/who that was. The beat and lyrics were just such an odd juxtaposition and shouldn't have worked, but really did...

Something in between explicit porn and clean family-oriented, absolutely zero sex-appeal hobbit epics like hollywood has been putting out. Cheesy porn productions don't count-- needs less dick-in-pussy, dick-in-ass shots, and more engaging story, more implied sexiness, if you know what i mean.
