- I Think This is the Last of the NYCC Coverage:
- A C is Unacceptable in this House Young Man!
A negative review of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception from the Onion launches a furry of negative comments from fans of the series who have not even played the full game. A fascinating look into the somewhat sickly dynamic between reviewers, fans, and media in the video game industry and the Internet in general. - New Fate/Apocrypha Project to Be Launched by Type-Moon
Type-Moon Ace 07 has officially announced that Fate/Apocrypha is back on track for production. The same the magazine will also have a demo for the often delayed Witch on the Holy Night. Come on who does not want to play as Shakespeare of the caster class? - I Am Your Mutant Grasshoppers Baby’s Daddy!
The Veef looks at the frighteningly bad glorious failure that is Shin Kamen Rider with Dkun from Collection DX just in time for Halloween. A series as long as Kamen Rider is surely going to have some missteps. This is one of them. A big one. - Enter the Chaos that is the Redline
The gentlemen of the Chaos Theater podcast look at the cranky Englishman approved movie Redline. Also bonus reviews of the prequel Trava: Fist Planet and the similarly styled Dead Leaves. - Be the Dorkiest Person to Wear a Letterman Jacket.
MOVIC will be releasing a line of satin letterman jackets with anime character motifs. They will have jackets with Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai characters on them. Most importantly there will be a jacket with the theme of being pure awesome!
The often requested Joan of Arc is finally in Fate/Apocrypha:
There is no such thing…as the last of NYCC coverage^^ (probably)
Well while there might still be people talking about it I will no longer be linking to it until next year.

That Uncharted review reminds me of way back when Electronic Gaming Monthly reviewed Chrono Cross and gave it a 10, 10, and 9.5, and fans bitched and moaned for YEARS that the game was “robbed” of a perfect score. Ridiculous.
I do have to wonder how many people are going to change their tune once they actually play Uncharted 3. I don’t people will think it is a bad game but I wonder how many people will think that is was not as good as 2.
But yeah it is an interesting dynamic. Especially when on the other hand people are always complaining that the video game review magazines are in the pocket of the game companies and refuse to give anything but the worst of the worst below a 6. It is like there is no one you can really please.
