I’m not telling you which, but I’m working on one of those four games

Gameloft Set to Develop For WiiWare

March 27th, 2008
Gameloft®, a leading developer and publisher of video games for mobile phones, announced today it is developing a strong line-up for WiiWareTM, Nintendo’s new downloadable game service for the Wii systemTM.

I’ve already written about how I’ve discovered, and even re-discovered MUGEN but something about playing it on my relatively small 19-inch monitor kept me from finishing my dream MUGEN compilation. Well, all that’s about to change as I have just heard news that MUGEN is alive and well on the X-Box.

Apparently, the next firmware update (2.20) is going to see improvements to the PS3 Browser’s page loading times! Also, for all of us who wanted to save certain files onto our console but weren’t able to from the browser, this issue will be resolved too!

As I had stated in a previous post, the PS3’s browser had really let me down. Hopefully this will elevate it to the level of being usable! I would have also liked to see an upgrade to the newest version of flash so that I can watch trailers on gametrailers.com. Who knows, maybe it’ll be part of the next update?

Today, I finished reading David Gemmell’s Echoes of the Great Song for the second time. I read a lot of books but there are very few that I’ve read more than once. I’m a huge fan of the late David Gemmell as I have read nearly all of his books and Echoes is by far my favorite of his works and one of my favorite books of all time.

If you like Heroic Fantasy, you’ll love this book. The characters are unique, the story is superbly written, and the world is both believable and surreal at once. There’s really not much more to say … go out and buy it!

Yesterday, while going through my collection of SNES Roms, I stumbled on a surprising discovery! Master Chief, the hero of the famous Halo video game Trilogy, was a character on an SNES game!

Ok, so it’s not really him. You have to admit that he shares a striking resemblance with the Spartan we all know!

I’ve had a lot of people complaining since I’ve installed that decal on the hood of my car (see previous post) about why I chose the Decepticons instead of the Autobots.

The main argument of those Autobots lovers is, since it’s a CAR, it had to be an Autobot. Hell no! The Decepticons have several wheeled vehicles in their line-up and the Autobots have got several ‘non-cars’ in theirs so that’s not a very valid argument (You know what? Next time I own an F-15 I’ll put an Autobot decal on it, how ’bout that?)

My good friend Jean-Francois just sent me this picture of his car! For the people out there who think they have everything figured out, this isn’t photoshopped, it’s a stencil he bought off e-Bay. I’m so jealous it’s not even funny

I don’t get it. A console that’s more powerful than most computers out there can’t handle browsing? How is it that the PS3 browser can run out of system memory if I have more than a few webpages open at once? What friggin sense does that make?

Many sites, like digg.com, don’t even work. As soon as I go on the site, it just loads a white page replacing it. No copy/paste feature? That should be unheard of! You can’t even select text! And how come it doesn’t already come with the most recent version of Adobe Flash. I can watch Youtube videos but I can’t see anything on gametrailers.com.

Inspired by the many dedications to video game characters I’ve seen around, like this one of Mario, I’ve decided to make my own dedication to my favourite Street Fighter character: Ken (a.k.a. Ken Masters) from the Street Fighter video games/movies/comics.

I tried my hand at making a Joe Madureira tribute PS3 theme and I’m actually very happy with the result! For those who don’t know, Joe Madureira is one of the best comic book artists ever and definitely my favorite.

To name a few comics, he’s worked on X-Men, Street-Fighter, and the Ultimates ! Not to mention a short-lived series of his own creation called Battle Chasers. He’s also made a lot of concept art for video games. The man is a living legend and is one of the biggest reasons I draw today.

Anyhow, if you’d like to download and use the theme, you can do so here directly from your PS3’s browser! I’d really appreciate if you would also give my theme a 5 star vote if you like it
