OMG… WTF?

And I’m never going to be able to see this entry without freaking out…
I went to the Anime News Network site tonight, when I came across an strage link featuring a shadow with a question mark in the middle. As you can see, it appears when you mouse over the blue area around the site logo.
When I accidentally clicked it, it sent me to a page with a count down at the bottom. The countdown is set for Thursday next week – if my math is correct.
(Sigh) Viral ads can be so creepy sometimes.
For those of us that missed AX this year, Right Stuf & Nozomi Entertainment sent out a bundle of news today. The announcements ranged from acquisitions of two new titles, to details about the release of several previously announced titles.
First, the distribution company announced revealed acquisitions of the titles Junjo Romantica, and Antique Bakery.

I Like Rainbows – Infamous and Prototype Tie-Breaker
Comments OffFor those of you that follow Zero Punctuation, you may recall that Yahtzee did a comparison between the video games Infamous and Prototype. After pointing out their strong and weak points, the charismatic stallion was unable to declare a winner. Assuming his advice would go unheard, he suggested that both studios could break the tie by drawing their rival studio’s main character in a bra.
Apparently both of them were listening.
Back on Friday Yahtzee wrote an short article on the Escapist, stating that representatives from both Sucker Punch and Radical had taken his offer seriously and had sent him images of the other studios character looking very pretty (or at least trying). Yahtzee pointed out that not only did were both Cole McGrath and Alex using their powers to make themselves extra fabulous, but they were drawn with a rainbow and a unicorn.

Kudos to both studios for being such good sports.
