Be very afraid when you hear the ice cream truck playing on your street. Sweet Tooth is back, and he looks pissed! (Well, more pissed than usual.)

Yes, I'm emo. Your point?
Have no fear: a new episode of the ESH podcast is here! (Finally)
One title I only passed by during my time at PAX East this year was Rockstar Games L.A. Noire. Are murder mysteries not my thing? Of course they are. I spent more time in the 80's watching TV shows like Murder She Wrote, Columbo, and Perry Mason than I probably should admit. Did I bear some kind of grudge against Rockstar Games? Hardly. Rockstar publishes a few of my favorite titles, with Grand Theft Auto IV ranking pretty high up on my "favorite games of all times" list. So then, what could my reason be?
The line was always too damn long.
The first trailer for Saints Row: The Third explains in just a few seconds what it's about and what it has to offer. Watch carefully!
It is finally here. Right here in my hands. I have been drooling for the Nintendo 3DS ever since they let me get my hands on it for what seemed like an incredibly short amount of time last June. Saturday night, I eagerly waited in line for the new system, see my Twitter account for details, and immediately went home to tear into it. Everything from built-in games to battery life will be covered, so click below to see the skinny on Nintendo’s next console.
This is just a reminder to those fans of Neon Genesis Evangelion who have been waiting for a domestic release. The long wait is over! I have seen the first remake/abridged retelling of Evangelion on DVD and I loved it.
It's always cool to hear people outside of anime fandom covering the Japanese artform we all love. Check out this clip to hear anime fans and supporters interviewed at a recent Philly anime convention

Let me tell you all a story, a story about Freezing.
I apologize for leaving this show off of my anime preview. I only covered shows which were being offered for free, and through legal outlets. To my surprise, Freezing is available through Funimation screening, thereby making it also available on Hulu.
Freezing is a story set in a time where aliens have invaded the planet and it's up to girls given special abilities to stop them. Our main character is Satellizer El Bridget, the "Untouchable Queen" who has been undefeated in combat. She is one of the many girls who attend a school where these female soldiers are trained.
Five years after the release of First Impressions of Earth the Strokes have returned. With two solo albums from Albert Hammond, Jr. and one from Julian Casablancas the band had finally found some time to get together and make another record. As soon as the new album entitled Angles ended -- with ten songs and a total running time of 34 minutes -- I could only utter one question: Was that it?
