Metal Gear Solid 2 - Skateboarding (YouTube)
I think I did this maybe twice. This is the surprising skateboarding mini-game from Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, where you skate all over the top of the Big Shell. I love the punked up remix of the MGS2 theme.

One Historic Night, Two Americas (NY Times)
Beautiful editorial about Obama's ascendency.

Toon Zone Throwdown (Toon Zone)
Five-page article detailing some of cartoondom's greatest fight scenes, with five great bouts for each category... Bare-Knuckle Brawls has the expected Hulk vs. Thing battle but also that nasty rabbit fight from Watership Down. Duels goes from Tom & Jerry to Advent Children. DBZ, Naruto and plenty of other anime are well-represented in the Power Fight category. Comedy Fights includes one of those Bill Plympton cartoons as well as the Peter vs. Chicken battle from Seth "I never met a joke I wouldn't reuse six more times" MacFarlane. And the final category, Top 5 Knockouts includes a Justice League bit I've never seen plus the final Maleficent fight from Sleeping Beauty.

Wii Nearly Overtakes Xbox 360 U.S. Install Base After Strong May Sales (Kotaku)
And the bad news for the 360 continues, with the PS3 outselling the 360 for I think the first time, despite all that GTA's New Home crap... and the PS3 has been tracking faster than the 360 for several months now.

And to all of this that, thanks to the 360 hardware failure rate, there is a far larger number of working Wiis in US homes today than 360s, and you've got Nintendo owning America. As well as the world.

Here's a must-read-because-I-agree-with-everything-he-says NPD sales post from Dubious Quality.

The Pogo Special Birthday Special (Cartoon Brew)
I have that on VHS, like, an offishul version. The Cartoon Brew article is more about the rift this show created between Pogo creator Walt Kelly and long-past-his-prime animator Chuck Jones.

The Birthday Special pales in comparison to the claymation I Go Pogo special, which I also have on VHS... albeit taped off of Showtime many years ago.

Comic-book controversy is a cautionary tale (MSNBC)
A little history lesson on how the comic book industry was nearly destroyed in the 1950s, and what it means for other certain popular adults-don't-get-it modern pursuits... like gaming.

Developer Q&A: SIREN Blood Curse (PlayStation.Blog)
I'm pretty damn sure I'm going to get into this. It will fill the months until Fatal Frame 4.
