A new trailer popped up on the interweb a few days ago but I've only just noticed it. The trailer shows footage of the new game being created by Team ICO who are responsible for ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. The game is called "Project TRICO" and I think it looks impressive but unpolished at the moment. Here is the trailer:
I haven't posted anything on Blogger for a while and I go on YouTube quite a lot. I thought why not combine the two?
The first video is about a cat. The cat plays "Risk". I love cats by the way; I've got three but that's another story. Here's the video.
This second video is basically a visual explanation of "the swingset" on Grand Theft Auto IV. Most people who have played GTA IV (particularly online) will know about this glitch. It's a collision detection glitch in which "a swingset" causes cars, people and objects to suddenly fly through the air. The video will explain it better than I will. Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words ;)
Warning: Video contains strong language
This third and final video shows "the swingset" again, but a pedestrian is involved.
There are reasons why I bought all of these games, some have great character design, others have great storytelling and back-story, and others just have a unique style. All useful in preparation for my game design task. Plus I wanted to buy Killzone to understand the story before the sequel is released next month.
Moving on, I have no reasonable explanation as to why I didn't blog over the holiday season, thinking back, I don't know why I didn't.
Just because I can, and I'm weird like that, I have some YouTube videos for my blogging comrades. Some of these (probably all of them except the last one) may be offensive to minors, so lock away your children. Most of them are kinda funny, but I enjoyed watching all of them anyway.
To keep it simple, I'll list these in alphabetical order. If you're not in the list, don't be offended! Just know that I didn't add you because you don't blog regularly. Yes I'm that harsh. :O

In other news, I'm taking the role of "Organiser" of the After-Hours Gaming; that will be running on a Wednesday or Friday night at 6pm, I haven't sorted out when it will be yet. I'm also hoping to get the podcast up and running again, after some confusion and forgetfulness last term. My Gamelog is now up, it looks the same as this blog, but without the widgets and posts of course. That will be updated when I start one of my new PS2 games, because I haven't played on any of them yet.
If you read all this and watched all/most of the videos then congratulations to you. Thanks for paying attention for this long.
Oh yeah, a final note, I updated the music on the blog too, the theme this time is fire of course. But you already knew that didn't you.
Tracklist (It's on shuffle, but you should be able to guess who's who. Plus, it displays artist and track on the player if you look closely):
Franz Ferdinand - This Fire Jimi Hendrix - Fire Johnny Cash - Ring Of Fire The Ink Spots - I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire (Fallout 3 Soundtrack)
I've been away for a week, and I missed posting on the blog, there are so many things I want to document.
Voldo. End of.
But seriously, "After-Hours Gaming" as it shall now be known, is great. I recommend that everyone go and have a good time. It was my first time last Thursday and it was really good, even though I'm rubbish at fighting games. We played Halo anyway. Nate already listed all of the interesting stuff that happened. :D Anime Club is great too. Hi Bob, if you are reading this, I thought you said you wanted to get into anime?! There's no better place to start than Anime Club. Studio Ghibli films are some of my favourites.
What else has been happening? I got my own brand new desktop computer, it's a change for the better when compared with using a family computer. I'd rather not share because my brother is on iTunes all the time at weekends.
I'm pretty sure I had loads to talk about but I've forgotten.
By the way, "Gaming Video of the Week" will not be posted anymore, I'm not co-ordinated enough to keep up to date. I'll just post a video every now and again. Or you could check out my Youtube user page.
The podcast is on, I still don't know what to call it. I'll have to discuss it tomorrow. If you want to get involved, let me know.
Oh, I remember now, I was going to mention last week's Death Burger Challenge. It was Beardo's turn and he managed to achieve a time of 4:33! An improvement on Nate's time of 5:15. The battle is on as a new contender steps up, DogSuit. Everyone shall have a nickname! BWAHAHAHA
