Is anyone else going to Orbital 2008?
Being the bad fan that I am, I'd entirely forgotten about it. But with guests like Neil Gaiman, and panels with titles like "writing bad Blake's 7 slash" and Torchwood Bingo, how could you not want to go? It's being held at the Heathrow Raddison, over the Easter bank holiday weekend.
12:48PM - Heehee. "Brick Knight".
A lot more details on LEGO Batman.
The game is broken up into 18 levels, with three different story arcs (six levels per story arc) featuring the standard two-player, drop-in/out cooperative play (online co-op play is available for the Xbox 360 and PS3).
Each story is playable from either the Hero or Villain point of view. (For example, in the aforementioned levels, you could also play as Catwoman trying to steal the diamond or as Batman trying to rescue Commissioner Gordon.)
You’re able to switch characters without being next to each other, unlike in the previous “LEGO Star Wars” games. The camera has been adjusted from the “LEGO Star Wars” series to pan back further and further away (but not too far) when the players are separated in two-player mode.
As for the DS version: “It’s not a port, it’s completely done separately. It’s done at Traveller’s Tales by the same team that did the ‘Saga’ DS version, and they’re a really, really good team. It’s kind of the same but different, and there’s a lot of touch screen in there.” He declined to say anything about the PSP version.
The music I heard in the demo was most definitely Danny Elfman’s compositions from the “Batman” films. While Doyle did confirm I was right, the team is still “finalizing the arrangements.”
C'mon September...
4:52PM
I installed the latest Firefox the other day (2.0.0.12) and I've been REGRETTING it ever since--Greasemonkey and Yahoo Toolbar won't install no matter what I do (luckily LJ Login still works or I'd really be screaming). If there's a "revert to previous version" option, I can't find it, and I don't seem to have any previous install versions. Does anyone happen to still have a less recent Firefox .exe file? I'm hoping for 1.5, I think...
ETA: Okay, version wasn't the problem, as 1.5 wouldn't work either... now trying to figure out why precisely no more add-ons will install.
9:04PM - Because we heart boobies
I was randomly surfing and avoiding my work today and found this gem, Dead or Alive mugs with boobs on them.
