Raiden IV Coming to 360













"No, not that Raiden. Raiden IV, the top down scrolling shmup released in Japan for the Xbox 360 last year year is headed to North America, courtesy of publisher UFO Interactive.

The publisher has confirmed to 1UP (and does a new ESRB rating) that the most recent entry in the long-running Raiden shooter series will grace these shores in August. With Raiden Fighters Aces just recently released by publisher Valcon for the Xbox 360, this will be a very Raiden year.

If you're new to the Raiden series, make sure to pick up the budget priced compilation prior to Raiden IV's domestic release, so you can be up to speed on the series deep story, which tells the tale of thousands of things being shot by jets and explosions happening."

The Beast Is Unleashed

Did you see the Project Trico video below? You see the chain tying that animal down? Thats what was just cut off the leg of The Beast, aka Alex Rodriguez. All the BS surrounding him, about steroids, his hip injury, his fling with Madonna, his wife and his divorce, everything was cut free the day he started playing baseball again. You can hear it in the postgame interviews. "Im just happy to be playing baseball."

Happy is right. After hitting a game trying, bottom of the ninth 2 run homerun in prelude to yet another Yankees comeback win about 40 minutes ago, Arod's season statistics are frightening: 10 hits. 7 home runs. A clean .400 on base percentage. And people just dont want to pitch to him. Brad Lidge, who is by all accounts one of the best closers in the game, started Arod out with 5 hard sliders, all diving down in the zone. On the 6th pitch, a 3-2 count, he threw a high outside fastball, the thinking being whatever you do dont come inside to this guy.

But Arod just doesnt care. Hes not like other power hitters. His power is vast, nearly omnipotent, and multidirectional. He waited on the high outside fastball and went with it, sending a screaming line drive the opposite way into the right field seats. Tie ball game. Stadium explodes. Lidge deflates. Cano gets a hit. Steals second. Melky doubles. Game over. Yankees Win! (John Sterling voice): Thaaaaaaaaaa Yankees win - in highly dramatic fashion, yet again.

Youtube/Blogger Acting Weird On Me


OK, so I really wanted to post something really effing cool from youtube, but its not posting no matter how many times I try. This happened to me once before with Blogger and Youtube, and eventually all the videos showed up at once. So, when the blog looks totally broken, you know it will be working normally again shortly. Obviously.
