Happy Friday
No Youtube nugget per se... that was someone else's province... but this is worth a post.

They're not for dudes. Or dogs.
From a recent conversation I had a coworker from California.
Coworker: Yeah, you see some weird stuff out here. I mean, you’ve got weird stuff there, but this stuff is on another level. Yuppie weird.
Me: Like a guy on rollerskates with Kenny G hair and no shirt?
Coworker: Do you know what a baby bjorn is?
Me: A young Scandinavian bear.
Coworker:…
Me: Yes, I know what they are.
Coworker: So the other day I saw someone wearing one with their dog in it.
Me: What?
Coworker: I wanted to punch the dude.
Me: What??

Put on your dancing shoes. It's time for the news. It's time to chase the blues away.
Here’s a bunch of cool stuff, mostly video game related:
1. A new Professor Layton will be available in the US on August 29th
2. The Secret of Monkey Island is being re-released in high def complete with full voice acting (thanks to Alex for bringing this to my attention)
3. Tales of Monkey Island will also be released for PC and Wii in episodic form, similar to the Sam and Max series.
4. There is a very cool looking new Castlevania coming out for the high def consoles, but not until 2010.
5. There’s a bunch of news around Final Fantasy titles. Basically, there’s one for the Wii, a series following up on the world of FFIV 14 years later, FF13 for 360 and PS3, FF 14 for PS3 only.
6. New Zelda coming out for DS, too.
7. Lastly, there’s a new Metroid coming out for the Wii, being developed by the team that made the flashy new Ninja Gaidens for xbox and 360.
Most of this flurry of news was released in the past few days at the big E3 expo, where the big three console makers all try and outdo one another. I have a Wii, but I want a high def system as well. Seems to me that if you want great online options and a large array of titles, you go with the 360. If you want a blu ray player built in and the absolute best in graphical capabilities, you go with the Playstation 3. A system’s game library is really what matters, and there are a lot of crossover titles, which muddles the decision further. Where is the next Shadow of the Colossus or Okami likely to surface? Do I want Gears of War or God of War? Which system will have more games involving lightsabers?
