The GDC

This week marked two big events in the technology industry. The iPad 2 was revealed, and the iPad 3 was revealed game developers conference (GDC). Don't know about the GDC? Well, to put it simply any professional in the field of game development shows up to discuss game development, design tools, audio, networking, and technologies and more. It's kind of like the prequel to E3. The week long conference is heading into it's fourth day, but already we've seen some pretty interesting stuff.

The Rhythm (6)

This week the Rhythm gets it's own segment: The Mill, as in the Rumor Mill. Each post will now exclusively have some rumors floating around the net and the entertainment industry. For starters we've got Bruce Willis and Die Hard 5, Johansen and Adams for Uncharted, the blizzaster, and geek like an Egyptian.

The Rhythm: Now with more rumors, and barrels of salt.

The Adaptation

Lord of the Rings did it rather successfully, Scott Pilgrim also to some extent, and lets not forget Harry Potter. But lets not kid ourselves people, the adaptation of a book, or dare I say video game, to the silver screen has its difficulties and most of the time Hollywood finds a way to cheapen it or just all around fuck it up (Prince of Persia, Doom, etc.).

The PSP2

The war has begun. The handheld war that is. Okay, so the war started a long time ago against Nintendo and Sony, and the handheld off shoot of the total war started in 2005, but Sony has lost presence in the past few years. Now, they return with the true sequel to the PSP, the PSP2 NGP. The new portable was revealed at a Playstation event in Japan today (well, yesterday for them) and below are the details gathered from [Kotaku] and [IGN].
