Grand Theft Childhood

As you all know I couldn't care less about R* or GTA IV. I don't like it so I don't play it. Some people like it so some people play it. That is the way life is and it works out pretty well. I'm over it.

However, today my children came home to tell me about the kids that brought the cases for the game or the map of the in game city to school. Fifth graders playing an M rated game like that? I am not over that.

There are so many judgements, read rocks, I want to throw right now.

Somebody else played "Creep" this weekend

That's Prince headlining Coachella.

New MGS 4 Trailer

Who the hell knows what's going on here. It's a good bet you won't be able to parse the damn story in English either. Still, nobody does incomprehensible better than Kojima.

The Best!

Congratulations to Source Comics and Games who were picked best game store in the Twin Cities by City Pages.

Ultimate Reality

This week's Pitchfork.tv recommendation is Ultimate Reality -- a collaboration between Dan Deacon and video artist Jimmy Joe Roche. I like my Schwarzenegger psychedelic. This is another one-week only video clip so watch it while you can.

Gnarls Barkley Backwards

The band is giving away a backwards mix of their new record The Odd Couple. Such a cool idea.
