Previews for First Two Lost Episodes - VIDEO

Feb 4th 2007 1:58PM (AOL TV)
"And these previews remind me of just how ready I am for Lost to return."

Never have truer words been spoken. I can't WAIT.

Who to enhance with a gaming face-lift?

Feb 4th 2007 1:03PM (Joystiq)
My question: why doesn't someone just make a simple 2d platformer, akin to Super Mario and use the ample amount of storage space of, say, the XBox 360, to have beautiful, hand-drawn style characters. Backgrounds full of intricate details in the drawings, all unique. And lets not load the game with about seventy bazillion features to complicate it. I never liked any of the MegaMan past the SNES because they were bogged down, or 3d atrocities to the eyes.

But if a new Megaman came out and it was a side-scroller no more complex than the original game, but that LOOKED like a cartoon, I'd buy it in a heart beat. Its one of the only reasons I'm considering Alien Hominid (though I'd rather see a more natural drawing style and less a "blown-up flash animation" style). And I suspect the interest in all these old catalog games is NOT just for the nostalgia factor. Else why would people be buying games they'd never played? The 2D platformer is dead, long live the 2D platformer!

KISS. Keep It Simple, Stupid!

24 "exclusives" on iTunes and Sprint phones

Jan 19th 2007 9:26PM (AOL TV)
My ancient Sprint phone already has a 24 ringtone. The ring of the phones at CTU. That "Doot Doot, DOOOOO Doot." My phone does that. It rules.

Screw Apple.

24's MacNicol needs to make viewers forget The Biscuit

Jan 18th 2007 6:15PM (AOL TV)
The real secret this season is that the ultimate bad guy is controlling Lennox the entire season.

That's right. Jack Bauer must fight Vigo the Carpathian.

"He is......VEEEEGO!!!"

Check out Hawaiian filming locations of Lost

Went to Hawaii. Did this myself.

My favorite random location was the Bridge where Sun and Jin meet. It's right behind the convention center that plays the airport.

Wii's Wario wary of widescreen

Jan 16th 2007 6:49PM (Joystiq)
I think I retract my statement. It appears damn good stretched out, but because of the art style, it's mostly undetectable that it's stretched. But it IS stretched, both in 480i and 480p. I knew it sounded weird....

As for the reasoning behind this, Crushed states the obvious WHY.

Wii's Wario wary of widescreen

Jan 16th 2007 6:40PM (Joystiq)
I have a crazy theory:

Could it be that the widescreen only shows if your Wii is set to 480i? In other words, people using composite see unstretched 16:9, while people using component see stretched 4:3 on their 16:9 screen. That's what it sounds like from the comments. I'm going to investigate.

Save $10 on Vision and wireless controller

Wait? Can you use the 360 camera as a regular USB camera? I may have to get it then.

Buffy comic update: pre-orders and spoilers

Jan 11th 2007 11:56AM (AOL TV)
Barbara: So the fact that Joss himself is doing this means absolutely NOTHING to you? And not like, overseeing/doing like the other comics, but actually DOING it.

Sure, it's profit-motivated. What isn't? But there's story to tell. Seasons Six and Seven on UPN could be argued as a "corny profit-motivated cheap television imitation of the fabulously written epic" (and some people probably do), but that doesn't make it any less a part of the canon.

Do you also dismiss Fray? Which was written during season four, took place far far in the future, yet was also canon? (See, there was this whole "weapon of the Slayer" thing that Fray used that Buffy finally discoverd toward the end of Season Seven...)

Personally, I can't wait for the Buffy Season Eight comics. And I look forward to Joss and Greenwalt sitting down to give us Angel Season Six comics. Bring on the "Mad Max" season!

Best and Worst of 2006: Jonathan's List

Jan 7th 2007 2:57PM (AOL TV)
The Nine didn't fall apart after the pilot. The Nine fell apart after the first flashback which started the second episode. For a few minutes, I thought "This show will make it." Then it took off and nosedived.
