This week we got Persona 3′d, Bioshocked, and Penny Arcade Expo’d. Zug gives a quick rundown of the awesomeness that is Bioshock. Oizys gives some more highlights to Persona, and we give a quick mention of PAX. The PS3 is going to be a recordy-machine, too, which is great, but not for us in America. It’s been a busy convention season, and we’ve left the best for last! See you at PAX!

The next meeting of the Southern California Classic Collectors is only one month away! The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 15th, from 6:00 p.m. until “sometime after midnight.” It’s at the same location: Steve Hertz’s place in Claremont. Arcade games, outdoor videos, console games, Guitar Hero, Wii on the 65″ HDTV… you NEED to be there.
Guys, this place was epic. A garage full of classic arcade cabanets (like working Space Ace and Dragons Lair), other Laserdisk games, games I’d never heard of or seen before, games I had. (I HUNGER). They played Tron on a huge projector screen, had pizza and drinks, a huge stocked console on a huge screen, guitar hero all night. ALL OF THIS AND MORE, FOR FREE.
Send an RSVP to sc3-invite@oriole.net

Comicon, uWink and Blizzcon. We had adventures at Comicon, in the expo hall and at the Masquerade. Zug hit up uWink, the ‘Chuck-e-Cheez for Adults,’ and gives a run-down of his adventures there, including an animated gif dance party. Blizzcon is hitting in a day or two, so we list off all the rumors, including our own bets. New WoW expansion is Northrend? New race in Starcraft 2? Diablo 3? We’ll find out Friday!

A quick news rundown of the week. Games Based On Movies: IMDB has a category that you can check out and stay abreast. Jack Thompson is (finally) getting sued. Exclamation Warriors lets you yell at your DS while you play a River City Ransom-like game. Multiboxing in MMOs for fun and profit: play your favorite MMO on 5 or more computers. Also, E3 IS HERE! We’re not there, because it’s invitation-only and we’re not invited. But we’ll tell you about it anyway! Lastly but not leastly, this weekend we went to the most amazing RPG-Themed birthday ever, and we’ll tell you about it.

HAPPY 4th of JULY!
This episode is a quick con-report from Anime Expo 2007. We go over all the adventures we had, with Xenon, alcohol, dances, cosplay, Elite Beat Agents, and more. Next year the Con is at The LA Convention center, and that scares us. We got some great pictures and video which we’ll get up ASAP!

We quickly talk about Elite Beat Agents, how fun it is, and how we’re going to be them. Oizys gets some Pokemon Coliseum, Pokemons, let me show you them. If you’re going to AX, let us know!

Anime Expo is coming soon, and they are deploying transvestite robots! Not really, but they are showing the Rocky Horror Picture Show and a advanced screening of the Transformers movie? That’s not very animoo or Japanese? Or is it? Oizys talks at length about Odin Sphere, and a revelation he came up with; it’s River City Ransom on crack. In addition to all the similarities, it also has some pretty engrossing. Plundr, a new DS game uses some awesome wifi hax to make a game based off the trade and pillaging of pirate life. Moving around in reality simulates movement in the game, where your physical location determines where you are in relationship to islands and other pirates. From the makers of Heroclix comes Haloclix. The world is not ready. We visit Supreme Commander again, because of the new patch. We talk about big real-world-influenced maps and how they change the game.

More people are getting into trouble for designing making FPS game maps of their school; we find an excellent point. You draw/design/create what you know best. Live gaming tournament at a big movie theater out here, we might check it out. Torturing kids at home and at school for bad and bad. Simpsons - The game is coming out and it’s going to be huge. We discuss the Simpson games over the ages! Lastly, we’re hitting up the Southn California Classic Collectors meetup. Lots of arcade cabinets, Tron playing on the screen.
