Review: None More Black

I interviewed Jason Shevchuk, lead singer/guitarist of None More Black a few months back for AP. I also reviewed their latest LP, This Is Satire.

Fantastic band, great record, sweet interview, check it.

E3 06: Note to self - Arrive early to press conferences and sit near the front

So I'm at the Microsoft conference early today, not sure why. It's at the Mann's Chinese theater, where I remember seeing Empire Strikes Back as a kid.

Yay.

Anyhoo, I'm minding my own business, and I decide to trolly myself down to the front row to sit. I figure, better view, right?

Low and behold, Peter Molyneux, braintrust of Lionhead Studios sits his duff right down next to me.

After the event, during which MS announces Fable 2, I proceed to give the impromptu interview, like any gaming journo worth his salt should, and very much to the chagrin of his PR wrangler.

Since, I'm covering E3 for Sci Fi Channel this year, interview and deets here.

[EDIT] My apologies, my editor at SF can't seem to spell Peter's last name correctly. Ugh...

E3 06: Twilight Princess will be mine

Got a decent look at Twilight Princess this morning during the Ninty Presser.

Long version impressions here.

Short version impressions?: Help me Epona, you're my only hope.

E3 06: The Burning Hole in my life, or grinding my healadin to 70, Arenas

God, Burning Crusade, what am I going to do when you hit?

And I thought I'd gotten away from your clutches after the endless Ony grinds... looks like we're gonna be friends again, very soon!

*sniff*

Azeroth Metroblog opens, Tarren Mill still under attack

Spoke to Sean Bonner over at Metroblogging about a new Azeroth blog that covers the haps around town in the world... of Warcraft.

Basically lotsa news about everyone's favorite Crabmeat recipes, how LF tanks still suxors, and rampant reports that high level rogues are still ganking newbs in Hillsbrad.

Actually, not really... interview round up from Sci Fi Wire here.

Hardcore Eulogy: Goodbye, friends

Local hardcore faves Where Eagles Dare are calling it quits, as you prolly know. Final show coverage, last interview here.
