Calling - Official Trailer (YouTube)
This trailer just showed up on the Nintendo Channel. Calling looks very much like Fatal Frame, or The Ring, or most modern atmospheric Japanese horror. I love the logo at the end, which turns the letters into connection bars.
Darkstar Survey (Satellite News)
Apparently most of the MST3K crew did some work for a Myst-like sci-fi game?! It's been in progress for almost ten years, and the CG unfortunately looks like it. Still, I could see checking it out just for the pure novelty of seeing Joel and Frank and Trace hamming it up again.
Still got game (Brainy Gamer)
Michael Abbot shows off the year's best DS games, noting that the DS tends to be overlooked in all the GOTY hullabaloo. I actually felt the opposite about the DS in 2009, feeling like most of the games I picked up were beset by critical, compellokilling failures.

This year's Dickerdoodle winner is the best yet.
Makoto Shibata On Quantum Theory (GameSetWatch)
Interview with Makoto Shibata, who directed Fatal Frame. Sort of sad how the article talks about the FF games in the past tense.

A little reminder of one of the greatest TV series of our time: Twin Peaks. Ragnell tweeted while she watched the entire two-season run (plus movie) and I enjoyed the trip.
