Submitted by Geoffrey Chandler on Wed, 07/29/2009 - 15:17So I made a legendary journey past the land of Walt Disney in the land of orange orchards to the South Coast Plaza. There I met with a good friend and Author, Matthew Colville. We spent a few hours eating lunch and talking about videogame development and marketing. It was quite an enjoyable experience. It's wonderful to sit down with Matt because he brings so much insight and passion to the conversation. I may have to re-consider my ban on crossing the Disneyland line more then 3 times per annum.
In other news, the viral websites for Arkham Asylum located at www.gothamcitymunicipal.com and www.arkhamcare.com and the following picture of security guard Frank Boles that I found at Comic Con are related. My guess is that the code 125845712 must work on those sites to gain access to content.
Stanford iPhone Class - Back to School!!!
Submitted by Geoffrey Chandler on Sun, 07/19/2009 - 08:40The Stanford Computer Science program is offering an iPhone Application Programming Course, and I have decided to audit via the Internet in an effort to get myself into iPhone development. Amazing how much cooler it is to learn object oriented application design using cocoa and iPhone then building a spreadsheet application with MFC was back when I was in school. Feel free to follow along, I will be certain to post my feedback and experiences with my attempted Internet course audit.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — July 6, 2009 — Fans have asked and LucasArts has delivered! Today the company announced a new initiative in its effort to revive its classic and beloved franchises by making its games available for the first time ever as digital downloads online.
In this first round of releases, ten fan-favorite LucasArts PC games will be made available Wednesday, July 8 on Steam®, Valve Corporation's delivery and management platform for the PC.

"This effort is going to make it possible to introduce a whole new generation of gamers to LucasArts' classic games," said Darrell Rodriguez, president of LucasArts. "It also gives more people a chance to play our games by making them available long after they've disappeared from store shelves. We hope our fans are as excited as we are about our plans and we can't wait to share what's coming next. This is just the beginning."
This series of launches continues LucasArts' new mission to revitalize its deep portfolio of beloved gaming franchises.
LucasArts previously announced the return of the classic Monkey Island® franchise with two new projects due to be released in the near future. Tomorrow, July 7, Telltale will premiere the Tales of Monkey Island™ game series, delivering a completely new epic storyline and swashbuckling flair that will unfold across five monthly episodes on PC and WiiWare™.
The Monkey Island celebration continues on July 15 when LucasArts publishes The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition, a completely re-imagined version of the first game in the series that adds updated high definition graphics, a re-mastered musical score, and full voiceover to the classic adventure game originally launched in 1990. The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition will be made available on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PC via Steam and other online distribution channels.
Future announcements about the re-release of LucasArts' back catalog titles will be made through LucasArts' Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/lucasartsgames.

My wife writes about movies and actors on her website www.hitormissmovies.com and lately I have noticed that google and the fans seem to love comparison posts. She has compared Audrey Hepburn to Anne Hathaway and Sophia Loren to Eva Mendez with both posts doing well in terms of both commenter reactions and google rank. I figure its time for me to test this out with a couple of comparisons of my own.
So.. I guess that Michael Edwards is the new Christian Bale is the new Thomas Dekker is the new Nick Stahl is the new Edward Furlong. See what I did there? Took you thru that process but, the oldest of the John Connor bunch is actually the NEW HOTNESS! Remember that scene with the nuke and the playground and the screaming? I do.

Submitted by Geoffrey Chandler on Fri, 07/03/2009 - 00:09Some sort of "living organism" showing up on the youtube found by a "sewer camera" in North Carolina. I am rather suprised at how high resolution the "sewer camera" in use down in N.C. are. I mean, the thing looks better then the cameras used to shoot Corey Feldma in the Ninja Turtles movie.
Home Prices and Loan Availability
Submitted by Geoffrey Chandler on Thu, 06/11/2009 - 14:36Every notice that home prices in Los Angeles are still crazy high, yet loan interest rates are no longer crazy low? Where does all the money come from? Should I be dealing drugs after work or something?
To end this post, a picture from Twin Peaks that showed up in Google Image Search when I typed in Shady Business Cartoon. I think it's appropriate. What on earth would we do without Google to look to for guidance.
