Earl’s Blog: Part 3

Here are some of the saddest moments from Scrubs. I’m not obsessed with Scrubs, but they do produce some great videos.

The first, since DS put a trailer with Brendan Frasier in it, includes JD and Dr. Cox going to his funeral. If you only watch one of these, watch this one.

The second is of Laverne’s Tragic Accident.

The Third and Final isn’t that sad.

I was thinking today, and it’s partially related to James’ Athletes, Not Heroes post, but I was wondering why great games like Psychonauts receive great reviews, are so much fun to play, are an absolute blast, are ignored by the gaming public and thus have low sales numbers, yet big game franchises that get trashed by critics are cranking out sequels before you can finish the first one. Really, I would have stood on the street side and publicized Psychonauts if it meant Tim Schafer would receive the funds to make the sequel. Come on, Psychonauts was a strange game, a little outside the box, but that’s why it was fun, and why it was so clever and fun. While these other games use the same tried and failed formula to make all of their games. I loved Psychonauts, and recommed it to anyone looking for a long and fun gaming experience, and I also recommed that gamers out there research the games that they’re going to buy so we can maybe give the underdogs out there the recognition they deserve. Got a game you wanna see a sequel to that flew under the radar? Let me know.

Earlier I did a post about a rumored SOnic title releasing this November:

“Rumors are floating around the net that a new Sonic game, entitled Sonic Unleashed will be hitting stores this November. The blue hedgehog’s next installment has not been denied or confirmed yet, but there has been news reported by Game On, which may or may not be true. They say that Sonic will be once again trying to stop Eggman, but this time with an evil alternate-werewolf self. The name has been patented, and a screenshot (above) and videos have been found, however until Sega confirms it, it is only a rumor. But until then, I’ll just assume that Game On is rught and that Sonic Unleashed, as they are saying, will be released in November on the 360 and Wii.”

It is now confirmed by SEGA, Wikipedia, and a humorous caption by Halolz that the title will go ahead as planned onto it’s November release date. More about the story has been revealed, more importantly that Sonic will be traveling to Mabuz, to fight the dragon Immarius, who turns people to dangerous beasts. There are actually good-looking (graphically) screenshots of Sonic, and one of him and his werewolf counterpart. The game, according to Wikipedia will release this November on the Wii, 360, and PS3.

For those of you looking forward to the new superhero comedy Hancock starring Will Smith, here’s a fansite, entitled “Hancock was Here” I found posting updates to the movie. Click here to visit the site. And here’s a link to a page with some new screenshots of the movie.
