EPISODE SEVENTEEN: "Homeless"
The saddest game story of 2008 is that of "Little Big Planet:" The great little title that inexplicably became annointed the savior of the struggling Playstation 3 and, when said struggles unsurprisingly continued, got counted as a "sales dissapointment." You can call this a post-mortem, but I'd prefer to think of it as a reflection.
I'm on Internet TV once again!
The Escapist has once again given me a slot for a movie review on their show, this time involving "Twilight." Now you know why I didn't do that "on my own." Check out the show here:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-escapist-show/481-Episode-Nine-Dead-Rising-Chop-Till-You-Drop
I come in at about 5:45, but I do reccomend you check out the whole thing - they're covering the Wii version of "Dead Rising," and there's a Zero Punctuation preview for what looks like a Prince of Persia review. Fun!
UPDATE:
Oh, and hey... just thought of something: This is the first time I've had one of these up for something that was new and revelent... so, if anyone out there is feeling helpful, it might be fun to go and toss some links to this in the direction of your favorite movie-discussion forum, chatroom, message-board, whatever - particularly ones where "Twilight" is being discussed or is likely to be discussed. The IMDB board for the film, for example, would be a good idea. I'd be interested to see what the actual feedback on something "fresh" is.
Thanks.

Is ROB Kardashian a GAY BASHER? A HOMOPHOBE?
Blog war!
On Wednesday, Courtney Love alleged on her MySpace page that Kim Kardashian's brother Rob Jr. punched one of her gay employees while calling him a "faggot."
“Rob Jr. cold socked and punched my employee right in his face for no reason and broke his nose after my guy was hanging out with his pal Brody Jenner one night outside Hyde lounge,” Love wrote of the alleged incident in a rambling blog post.
But later that day, Kardashian slammed Love's claims on her Web site calling them "totally false."
"A lot of what she wrote doesn’t even make much sense and doesn’t follow a clear train of thought," Kardashian wrote. "At one point she says Brody was there too and that someone yelled discriminatory expletives against gay people, but I honestly can’t figure out who she is accusing because her writing is so bad."
Kardashian continued: "All I know is that both Brody and Rob didn’t do anything close to what Ms. Love has described."
She added: "We will forward this terrible nonsense to our attorneys."
See Kim Kardashian's best booty shots.

Meanwhile, Love updated her blog on Thursday, clearing Jenner of any wrongdoing.
"Brody was fine, he was actually quite nice to my employee and posed for pictures with his new girlfriend outside Hyde Lounge that my employee took," she wrote.
Kim KARDASHIAN'S 2009 RESOLUTION - Get that FAT ASS in SHAPE!
They might not stick to them, but that hasn't stopped a slew of celebrities from making New Year's resolutions. Who's quitting what or vowing to be a better person? Will Robert Pattinson vow to not make such a drastic move with his hair? While we are not certain what resolution for 2009 that the 'Twilight' star will make, Life & Style has put together a bunch.
New Year's Resolutions From Kim Kardashian, Other Stars (Image: Wenn)Playboy centerfold and reality TV starlet Kim Kardashian says she wants to stay in shape. "To just tone up more and continue to get in shape. Last year I was trying to give up sweets but broke that resolution a little!"
***Nicole Richie baby daddy Joel Madden tells the magazine, "I have been really involved with UNICEF this year. I just got back from Africa. I think what I want to focus on for the new year is advocating against violence against women and children especially where I was in Central Africa, the Congo and Sudan."

Brad Pitt - "I haven't even thought about it yet. I don't even know what tomorrow is!" Lindsay Lohan - "People can make New Year's resolutions, but I'm telling you all now, 'You're all lying because you're not going to stick to them for a year."
Kim KARDASHIAN is the most searched on GOOGLE!
This is very surprising…or maybe not ..
Google just released their list of top searches this week and Kim Kardashian is at the top!
Normally you’d expect Britney Spears, Beyonce, or even Michael Jackson to nab the top spot but Kim Kardashian ..that’s some new ish’.
Before we start twitching our side-eyes we must look at Kardashian’s year. After her now pre-historic sex tape sold for six-plus figures the socialite nabbed her own reality show in 2008; upgraded from Ray J to NFL player Reggie Bush and took a nice check from ABC’s Dancing With The Stars among a few other things like her ‘flying off the shelf like hotcakes’ 2009 calendar.
I guess congratulations are in order for Ms. Kardashian… 2008s most Googled celebrity ! (Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, and Heath Ledger also made the cut).

Kardashian MANSION goes on the MARKET!
It looks like Kim Kardashian's current mansion just simply isn't big enough to hold her ridiculously enormous...collection of stuff. The Kardashian mansion is up for sale. We wonder in what home Kim, her sisters, and her mom will set-up camp and torture step-dad Bruce Jenner in next.
According to the LA Times, the Kardashian family mansion, which is 3,966 square feet, is on sale for $3.4 million. The mansion has been the home base not only for the Kardashians, but for the filming of their reality show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." It really is the end of a completely vapid reality television era. Sniffle.
According to Fox News, the Kardashian mansion "is hidden away in the Hollywood Hills and boasts four bedrooms and five bathrooms. There is a deluxe kitchen with a center island, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The property also includes a pool, spa, patio and three-car garage."
They fail to mention all of the priceless memories of the petty, unbelievably shallow drama that transpired amongst the Kardashian clan over the years. Like, remember that time when Khloe made Kim cry because Kim was being a baby about something completely stupid, and then Khloe started to cry because they're the Kardashian sisters and they have to stick together forever? We hope wherever the Kardashians set up camp next, it will be in a house perfect for making equally worthwhile memories.
Also, no word yet on whether or not the stripper pole that is currently part of the Kardashian home will be moved to the next home. We hope so. We want it to be as easy as possible for Kim Kardashian to transition into her new home--or as we like to call it, "the next setting for Kim Kardashian's next accidentally leaked sex tape."

Anyway, this DOES mean I've got to gently ask you all to once again head over to... http://screwattack.com/Vote

EPISODE SIXTEEN: "Holiday Show!"
It's that time of year, kids. When entertainers dash off quicker-than-usual Christmas/etc themed shows so they can get back to the relative joys of.. well, relatives. And shopping. Yay.
This installment is sort of a video game shopper's manual for the season's game-buying non-gamers. Seemed like the helpful thing to do. I've designed it to be sent out (hopefully) to anyone you think could use such information. As such, be prepared for certain deviations from the normal additude; including but not limited to: No profanity, slower-pace, less rapid-fire jokes, fewer inside references and copious abuse of an only subtly-game-themed Virtual Fireplace loop.
Happy Holidays!

EPISODE FIFTEEN: "The Politics of Gaming"
Least imaginative title ever, I realize. But I hope the content-proper makes up for it. Hey, YouTube? Y'know what'd be awesome? Letting people put non-YouTube hyperlinks in annotations. Just a thought.
Summation: "How would YOUR favorite gaming icon have voted?" I like to think of this one as 95% hit-baiting jokes about whom fictional characters might've voted for, 4.5% newsworthy griping and 0.05% thought-provoking discussion of political themes present in games you may not have thought of. Enjoy!

VOTE FOR ME!
I don't know which makes me feel like a bigger attention-whore: The constant self-promotion or the tactlessness of double-posting it into both blogs. BUT, that's the game.
ScrewAttack.com has informed me (and, I presume, many many many others) that I am elligible to be nominated for their Gaming 1337 ("leet") awards. So... if y'all dig my stuff, howzabout voting for me? ;)
Here's how it works: Go to this page: http://screwattack.com/Nominations Where you'll find a form with multiple fields in which to nominate folks/projects by their name and website URL for various awards. "Game OverThinker," for example, would best fit into the "best independent gaming show" category. Fill out each field (or only the ones on which you have an opinion) with the name and URL (my URL here is http://gameoverthinker.blogspot.com/ and the name is "Game OverThinker" remember,) then your name and email below and click "submit." Apparently you can do this once a day... I bet that would be a fun thing to do ;)
Thanks again for the support.

I'm on Internet TV again!
Hey, lookit that! "The Escapist Show" is airing another of my reviews, this time for "Max Payne." What swell guys.
Check it out here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-escapist-show/421-Episode-Four-Mirrors-Edge
I'm in there at about 6:05, but you should watch the whole thing because they're good guys doing a good job. It's a little intimidating, to be honest, to be sharing vid-space with even a TRAILER for Zero Punctuation. I mean... who the hell am I, right?
As before, if you dig me doing this, let The Escapist know you'd like to see me more often:

HOLY SHIT! I'M ON (INTERNET) TV!
Yeah, wow.
Here's Episode #2 of "The Escapist Show," with your's truly popping in at the tail end for a review of "Eagle Eye." I come in at about 7:30, but you should watch the whole thing. These guys are working hard, and doing a fine job:

HUGE NEWS!
Wow, this is cool. I've had to wait awhile to tell anyone about this, but now that I can I'm still pretty overwhelmed by it.
"The Escapist" (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/) is best known these days as the website home of video-game critic Yahtzee Croshaw's hugely popular "Zero Punctuation" weekly series. But it's ALSO a full-blown webzine of it's own with lots of other content. As of this week, that content now includes a weekly gaming/geek-culture news series called "The Escapist Show." You should be watching, it's awesome.
Anyway, "The Escapist Show" features along with it's regular content and contributors short humor segments provided by independent web guys, and next week (episode #2, tentatively planned to air on November 4th) the contributor will be... ME! I'll be doing a movie review - can't tell ya which movie yet. Cool, no?
I encourage everyone to check this out... ESPECIALLY all you Game OverThinker fans, since it's YOUR enthusiam for my goofy content that's had alot to do with getting me noticed at this level. I CANNOT thank you guys enough. But don't see it just for me - the series looks really good and off to a great start. And if you like seeing my stuff on there, send some feedback over to Escapist telling them so, and maybe I'll get asked to come back for more. Look for it next week!

Popmatters Interview
QUICKLY before this crashes again:
I've been interviewed by LB Jeffries of PopMatters about the OverThinker series. How cool is that? No time to even be faux-humble snarky about it (that was on the other blog, and even that was abbreviated.)
Read the interview here: http://www.popmatters.com/pm/feature/64317/the-new-youtube-game-criticism-an-interview-with-moviebob/
Wonder about how I got to be deemed newsworthy later ;)

A memo to the fans
Okay. The reason there hasn't been a new video for almost a month is twofold: Firstly, my PC is apparently in some kind of death-throes, so my ability to get online OR edit is sporadic at the moment. Secondly... I can't say much officially at this time, but I have a few other projects taking up some time right now.
Rest assured that new material is on the way, and that I'll be saying more as soon as I am able to.

EPISODE THIRTEEN: "And There Came A Review"
Not that I don't enjoy being a commentator as opposed to a straightforward critic, but sometimes you just want to review something. So I did, to a largely overlooked budget DS platformer called "Barnyard Blast." The only thing you really need to know is that it's hero is a pig who is also a cowboy and that it actually sets out to spoof "Castlevania" and "Ghosts n' Goblins."

The SIZE of KIM KARDASHIAN'S ASS does not SLOW her DOWN!
Hollywood socialite Kim Kardashian has been booked by traffic cops in Los Angeles after she was reportedly caught speeding in a school zone.
The 27-year-old star was allegedly caught accelerating through Beverly Hills, Calif., on Wednesday.
TMZ.com reports Kardashian was on her way home from a rehearsal for her forthcoming stint on "Dancing with the Stars" when she was pulled over.
She was also cited for driving with tinted windows.

EPISODE TWELVE: "Sir Mix-A-Lot Would Approve"
See? Technically, it's a whole day LESS than a month since the last update :)
This one is, chiefly, about "Fat Princess"... or, rather, my likely-to-be-in-vain hope that the inevitable (mutually) embarassing dust-up between Gamers and Feminists over "Fat Princess."
Since "Fat Princess" is still yet to be released even for full reviews, this is probably the EARLIEST I've ever been to the party in terms of current-affairs commentary in game journalism. As you'll see in the video, there's a good reason for that: The earlier you hit a subject, the less usable visual material there is to work with.
As such, I'm not even going to pretend that this is one of the more visually-compelling episodes by any means; though I would perhaps beg a small amount of credit for doing ten minutes of commentary largely about anger amongst womenfolk and not doing a single Sarah Palin joke (saving for later, don't worry.)

Kim Kardashian is A-OK after FOOT INJURY!
Kim was on Seacrest this morning to say she cut her foot on a jagged edge of a glass table. She went on to say that she did not stiche it they just glued it. She says it should not effect her Dancing with the Stars. She said she was crying all night from the pain. And to that I say, drama queen!!

EPISODE ELEVEN: "Can It Happen To Us?"
A decade ago, a onetime "niche" industry for the young and the geeky "grew up," conquered the world... and then lost everything. The OverThinker remembers how it happened, and wants to know if the gaming biz is heading down the same path.
I'll try not to let a month pass between installments again - fortunately this one was actually a pretty quick job. What slows these things down is the image-hunting: Some material you'll find TONS of stuff to work with, others... not so much.
