Ted Stevens is gone, but his tubes yet remain. Pictured here are the tubes that exclusively carried MP3 audio files.
Those lazy days of summer are upon us and with them they’ve brought along another game release drought. Don’t get me wrong, there are a few gems out there if you’re into things like crafting stars, but what are you to do to fulfill that console itch? I’m here to remind you that there are still options for you out there.
Hulu's offering of anime.
It upsets me that I end up missing out on all the free & legal anime that's out there. Funimation is probably the best at offering free streaming video of their titles, and Hulu plays them as well. With that in mind, I took a moment to see what I can get for the best price of all.
Here's what's new on Hulu:
Alright, so in May I got myself a brand-spanking-new Mac laptop, which since I was previously a die-hard PC fan was a big step for me. I even went so far as to name it "The Destiny Prognosication Machine" like the good little Escaflowne fan I am. So, since I was now an hip and cool Justin Long rather than a boring old suit-wearing John Hodgeman, I figured it was required that I make something video flavored. Because it would be easy and quick and I could do it right out of the box without having to load more software, which can I say really screwed me up. I spent more time trying to figure out what I needed to do to set the thing up than I would have spent actually setting a PC up.
At the time I was also rabidly watching Star Trek every chance I got, to the point where the end credits would roll and I'd press play again. I'm a crazy insane Karl Urban fan and have been ever since his Caesar/Cupid days on Hercules/Xena. As I type this, I just finished watching 'Pathfinder' and my background image is of Vaako from the Chronicles of Riddick, so you can guess how nuts about him I am. I'm also a huge Zachary Quintos fan, so Star Trek XI is like visual crack for me.
Star Trek mixed with the idea of making a fanvid in my head and this is what popped out...
Do you like action video games? Do you like creepy jack-in-the-boxes? You do? Well if you have all of that and $99.99 you too can pre-order the collector's edition of Ubisoft's forthcoming Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Another new episode of the ESH podcast is ready for consumption, and we cover a bit of everything in this one. Including Pandalicious' new Xbox 360 Slim. 
The Peanuts gang have been around for a wonderful sixty years, and during that time we have been given classic comics, TV shows, movies and video games. This past June the folks over at Smart Bomb Interactive released the fourteenth Peanuts-based game in its sixty-year history: Snoopy Flying Ace. Needless to say, for a Charlie Brown game, I came out of this dogfight with eyes wide and jaws dropped. How is it possible that a Snoopy title, of all things, might turn out to be the best Xbox Live release of the year?
There has been quite a bit of talk about this years indie darling Limbo as of late. Being quite the sucker for a game with an eerie atmosphere, I picked up the game and played through it. One of the biggest things that people have been saying about the game is it’s the Braid of 2010. While I can appreciate the statement from the point that it’s a fantastic indie game that has gotten a lot of critical praise, there is one point that I feel needs to be stressed when making the comparison. Aside from some minor similarities, they are most definitely not the same game.
Another new Monday another new episode of the ESH podcast. We start this week's show talking about Sony and end it in typical ESH style: completely off topic and in-appropriately.
The Trauma Center series for DS and Wii has always brought a unique experience in the video gaming world, what with its surgery gameplay and storytelling. Some have complained, however, that the series has become too predictable in regards to its style. Fortunately the folks at Atlus have created a new way of taking on this world thanks to the new Wii game Trauma Team.
