Video Games Live - Video Coverage 2008

Preface:

This was perhaps one of the most social gaming events I've been to in a long time, probably since the Halo 3 launch. Anyways, the video is 20 minutes long but I'm sure you'll find most of it enjoyable since Doug Buffone used to make his about that long in the past. Unfortunately I can't embed it due to Gamespot's uploader being useless so I had to use Vimeo. Enjoy:

Back from VGL

Hey everyone,

It's Sunday at 1:14 AM and I just walked in from Video Games Live in Austin Texas. I have to say I had a great time. I wanted to let everyone know that we had a very successful 2-camera shoot on the lot of VGL and Sunday (today I guess) I'll be editing it and you'll see it up sometime Monday. Also up Monday: a new bargin bin for you dot com item, this time one of my favorite books!

-- Jacob.

PS - I got my balls busted by Tommy Tallirico, for full details you'll have to wait until Monday =P

Bargain Bin For You

Hey all, I've been working on a new site that's taken a lot of my free time. The site is: http://www.bargainbinforyou.com

It's for all my non-gaming related stuff. I hope you enjoy it and it will get more regular content than this blog unfortunately as I'm not gaming much right now.

But stay tuned! This blog will get a video blog from the VIP ticketholder area of Video Games Live! All that and more coming up!

Hello, I'm a Mac

So I got a new Macbook. Yeah, I got tired of constantly using a Windows machine and I have to say that this Mac is the most elegant piece of hardware I've ever owned. In addition, I took the time to install Win XP on it so I could play some MechWarrior 4: Vengence / Mercenaries and also some Mech Commander 2. Games I LOVE the world over and haven't played in years.

Any Battletech / MechWarrior fans in the house?

Zelda: TP (Wii) -- Yeti Love

Category:
Boss Fights
Association:
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (WII)

This isn't one of my favorite boss battles from the game, but it is definitely one of my favorite scenes overall. Yeta gets possessed by her reflection in the Twilight Mirror. Yeto frees her with... love. This is the Wii version.

Zelda TP (Wii) - Ganondorf Scene

Category:
Gameplay
Association:
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (WII)

This is the short battle and accompanying cutscene from Twilight Princess which shows that Ganondorf is not surprisingly once again the real source of Hyrule's sad state of affairs. This is the Wii version.
