Well, after waiting in a mall for hours and hours, the fans finally got to see the enigmatic Hideo Kojima (creator of Metal Gear Solid) and they just went ballistic. Kojima and his team came out to greet the fans, and proceeded to tell them just how much they enjoyed being in Hong Kong.

World of World of Warcraft

Posted by Drew in NewsGaming

Check out this hilarious satire of the World of Warcraft fans. I have to admit, I was a big big big fan back in the day, and I spent countless hours on it too. Then my girlfriend gave me an ultimatum and now, well I gotta find a new girlfriend. Hahahah just joking. I went cold turkey and cancelled my WoW account.

Hong Kong MGS trip - part 2

Hideo Kojima and team address the media

After the big "fashion show" of bikini-clad models with Playstation stickers stuck on them (see Part 1 for more details), us journalists were herded up to the Konami store, where a bunch of security guards kept uninvited guests out, and made invited guests feel just a little bit uneasy. Just like in the movies, there were two waves of security: one in uniforms, and another wearing suits.

Rose Red Sonja

Posted by Drew in NewsEntertainment

My dad told me never to eat off the knife.

Back in the day, Red Sonja was a nice little movie, even though it felt more like Conan 3 than Red Sonja. How can it not, when it had an iconic actor like Arnie playing pretty much the same character? Kind of like Kevin Sorbo in that movie Kull the Conquerer (aka Hercules for the big screen).

Anyway, here's Rose McGowan in the upcoming version of Red Sonja. And no, I still don't think she's all that hot. Home-wrecker... bah!
