Wii U To Be Released This Year

Jan 262012

At E3 last year, Nintendo reveled their new console, the Wii U. At the time they also announced a release window of holiday season 2012.

Since that time, there has been little to no news on the new console. many wondered whether or not the release date was even possible and that Nintendo may have to push back the release to later into 2013. Well, it now appears that Nintendo has just been quiet on the subject and has been hard at work on the new console.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has confirmed that the company is on target to achieve that release goal. The Wii U will be available to gamers in the United States, Europe, Australia, and Japan in time for the 2012 Christmas buying season. Specific dates are not known at this time, but don’t be surprised to hear some major announcements from Nintendo at this year’s E3.

Netflix No Longer Planning Game Rentals

Jan 262012

Last year, Netflix announced that they were planning to split their business. DVD and Blu-Rays would be distributed under a new bsuiness called Qwikster. They had also announced that the Qwikster service would also start distributing video games as a service to its customer base. When Netflix users banded together and universally panned the idea, the service was quickly shelved and scrapped entirely.

One of the lingering questions after the canning of Qwikster was whether or not Netflix would continue to pursue adding video games to their lineup. In a meeting earlier this week, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings gave the final word on the subject. He confirmed that the company will not be adding games to its shipping service. Gamefly can now breathe a sigh of relief as it will no longer have a competitor in Netflix, and will only have to contend with Blockbusters service for the time being.

Blizzard Cancels BlizzCon 2012

Jan 262012

Bad news for fans of Blizzard’s annual showcase BlizzCon. The company has announced that they will not be holding the annual event this year due to a heavy release schedule from the company this year.

“We’re excited to be showcasing Blizzard eSports on a truly global stage this year. We’re also heavily focused on getting Diablo III, [World of Warcraftexpansion] Mists of Pandaria, and [Starcraft II expansion] Heart of the Swarm into players’ hands as soon as possible. In light of our jam-packed schedule, we’ve decided to hold the next BlizzCon in 2013.”

“Yeah it’s a bit disappointing because we all really do enjoy being able to ‘open the doors’ so to speak. But, it is an enormous effort by all employees, including our game designers and artists, not to mention customer support and quality assurance, PR, our business departments, and *hot breath on fingernails & shirt rub* Community & eSports to make a BlizzCon happen. In a year when we’re working to release multiple titles (knock on wood) it makes sense to focus our efforts. Also with multiple game releases we just wonder if we’d be at a point with any of them where we’d have anything really big or new or cool to talk about.”

BlizzCon has been held almost every year since 2005 (2006 was the other year to not host a BlizzCon event). The show is the company’s annual event to open up to the media. The show usually features presentations by Blizzard employees, tournaments, contests, and hands-on time with their upcoming games. The company is putting the finishing touches on Diablo 3 as well as preparing anew expansion for thier power house title, World Of Warcraft. Blizzard is also at work designing a new strategy game called Blizzard DOTA as well as an MMO currently titled Titan. They also have a second StarCraft II expansion pack called Legacy of the Void on the way.

Character List For Green Arrow TV Series Revealed

Geeky News No Responses »

Jan 252012

It was recently announced that CW was creating a series based on the comic hero Green Arrow. The series, Arrow, will be a modern retelling of the series. It will be looking to have its own origin and distinguish itself from its comic counterpart. Several characters from the comic’s history have been chosen to appear in the series and a casting sheet describes those characters.

Oliver Queen: A 27-year-old reformed bad boy, who after having spent five years shipwrecked on a tiny, brutally dangerous island in the South China Sea returns to town a different man. Or to be more specific, a tortured, thoughtful master of the bow with a ferocious determination to make a difference.

Dinah “Laurel” Lance: 28 years old, smart sexy, Laurel is a legal aid attorney determined to use her life as a one-woman war against the 1% following the death of her younger sister Sara. A sister, who as luck would have it, just so happened to have died aboard Oliver’s yacht.

Tommy Merlyn: 28 years old and devil-smooth, Tommy is a trustafarian like Oliver, a spectacularly rich young man whose life revolves around parties, clubs, liquor and lots of anonymous sex. Unlike Oliver, he can’t seem to understand his former best friend’s sudden change of lifestyle and direction.

Moira Queen: 48 years old, a beautiful woman, Oliver’s mother Moira is a very wealthy woman who is not used to being shaken. Having remarried during the five years that former husband Robert and Oliver were both presumed dead, Moira has had free rein over the Queen billions. Not surprisingly, she’s deeply interested in learning whether or not Robert will also return unexpectedly, to ruin her present marriage and go over the books with a fine-tooth comb.

John Diggle: 35 years old, African-American, Diggle is really, really big, a former military man who served with the Army Rangers in Afghanistan, and has been a bodyguard for hire for the last four years. Hired by Moira to be Oliver’s chauffeur and protector, Diggle soon finds he is trapped in a battle of wits, as Oliver repeatedly eludes his protection. But in fact, Diggle’s primary conflict is one of loyalty — he has to show that he’s working for Oliver, not Moira, before Oliver will give him a smidgen of trust.

Thea Queen: 17 years old (suggest 17-22 years), Oliver’s Lolita-esque sister, Thea was a 12 year old girl when he went on his infamous yachting voyage — but now she’s a celebutante who’s testing the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Thea loved her big brother with all her heart, and is delighted to have him back in her life — but she’s spreading her wings, and is unprepared for Oliver to become the Bad Cop in the family, restricting her access to boys and drugs.

The Real Congregation :: A “Seminal” Chat With Steve Garron

Podcast Feature No Responses »

Jan 242012

Download

In some small circles in the southeastern United States, Steve Garron is a living legend. His first group, Precious, were poised to be “The Next Big Thing” – complete with the prerequisite label deals and high profile Warped Tour slots to prove it. Unfortunately Precious was sidelined at their height of their powers by Garron’s failing health, and the fantastic (and sadly, long out of print) records that were left behind in their wake have been coveted by the lucky few that formed a small sort of cult around the group.

In this episode of The Real Congregation, we’re lucky enough to have a long sit down chat with the man himself. With a heavy focus on the debut album with his band Potsie – who have seemingly broken up before their self-titled album has hit the streets (for similar reasons to Precious), we touch on everything that you’ve ever (or never) heard about this songwriting mastermind. Steve holds nothing back in this episode and opens up on a bevy of topics: the rumors, the arrests, the stalking, the long history of drug addiction, and even what the future holds for all of his various incarnations.

It’s a fascinating (and sometimes heartbreaking) saga of one man’s relentless creativity, and The Real Congregation is proud to bring it to you!
