With Christmas a scant amount of days away, everyone pretty much starts the slow process of stopping everything else they were doing. The process begins sometime in August, when the first leaf decides it can resist the foul temptations of gravity no longer, or it simply falls for the grass’ endless tauntings of free booze and cheap hookers down below. Or perhaps it begins when vile, soulless marketing directors decide it’s just about time for Christmas commercials to start…just before summer ends.
ExtraLife has had an excellent series of Christmas / Wii themed comics lately, as well as pointing out quite a few excellent things in his blog:
Apparently these are some rejected or preliminary conceptual designs for the Wii and its controller interface. It really has to make you happy with what came out, going with the simplest and most functional but still aesthetically and commercially appealing is really the balance that the Wii controller achieves perfectly. I was sold from the very beginning, once I saw that the ‘remote’ design could be turned sideways to almost perfectly mimic a classic NES controller, I knew Nintendo had done right.
The other snippet of news ties yet again into my post from a few weeks ago, about updates on the Transformers movie. You can view the new trailer here!
Edit: More excellent news I read about yesterday, apparently very talented Comic writer Brian K. Vaughan is joining the writing cast of Lost! He’s probably best known for his comics Y: The Last Man and Ex Machina, and hopefully his writing abilities will help bring a new taste to upcoming Lost episodes.
I hope that everyone has an excellent Christmas and Holiday season, and we’ll be flying into 2007 with so much new content you’ll literally crap your pants upon first sight of it!
