    American Gladiators 2008

    It must have been a treat to have seen the action live. I think I caught glimpses of cheerleaders in the audience areas. I'm guessing that, among other ways to foster crowd participation, they prompt the audience to give the Rome-gladiatorial-type thumbs down gesture or is that from earlier...

    American Gladiators 2008

    American Gladiators is a lot of fun to watch. I'm now officially a fan. I wonder why competitors have yet to dive head first to get under the floating column of fire when they tackle the Eliminator. In theory, it'd seem to be the best strategy as going in feet first seems counterproductive...

    Creating short movies with gaming software

    That's known as machinima, essentially in-game cutscenes (What is Machinima? FAQ). Many games include the ability to create your own content. Examples include The Sims 2, The Movies, and Half Life 2, the latter two may be more suited to your question.

    Most Wanted Games for 2007

    I see that a bunch of us put Bioshock down as highly anticipated for 2007, and after seeing a video demo given by the creative director, Ken Levine, I can now see why. If you didn't already know, it's being released tomorrow as the regular version as well as a collector's version which...

    Help creating an animated company logo / scene (production company).

    My suggestion is to first develop a specific idea of what you want to see happen in your few seconds; hopefully in keeping with your company's name or what you do. Again, depending on what you want to convey, you may need to next create whatever elements you'll need. If, when you mention...

    New White Stripes - Anyone get it?

    Hoping to pick up Icky Thump soon. They're a band whose work I'd pick up sight unseen. Also hope there'll be another concert dvd; I got their Under Blackpool Lights disc and in spite of the image quality, I like the live performance a lot. It wasn't long ago that they performed a song from...

    Flight Of The Conchords

    I first saw them on Late Show with David Letterman performing their "The Most Beautiful Girl" song, just the two of them each playing acoustic guitars while singing live. Though I also like their show, there's something authentic about seeing them perform in front of an audience, improv-ing and...

    Authentic "One Man Bands?"

    I didn't know that about Paul McCartney; I need to check that out. Another might be Mike Oldfield, specifically Guitars where all sounds including drum sounds were generated somehow from guitar-related means. A close second of Oldfield's might be Tubular Bells, with the exception of the...

    Most Wanted Games for 2007

    For me, the only one I'm most looking forward to is Half Life 2: Episode Two for the PC. I think it's expected to be released either in the summer or autumn of 2007, possibly later. Like Episode One and Lost Coast before it, I hope Valve continue to include the option for commentary/behind...

    Warner Home Video Tom & Jerry Replacement Program (UPDATE 1/30/07 POST #134)

    If anyone happens to know, what's the address I should send the original censored disc to, the return address from which the replacement came from I'm guessing? The reason I ask is, the disc envelope that was sent for the purpose of returning the censored disc is blank and from what I've read...
