Echo Chamber Round Up [week of 12/31]
The past few weeks have been slow in geek news land, everyone is busy playing the games that were thrown upon us during the holiday. But CES, GDC, Macworld and all sorts of other nerdy conventions and conferences are on the horizon, and you can just feel the echo chamber tingle. Feel that tingling? That's the feeling of thousands of control keys being pressed at the same time as the letter "c". Here is what everyone else on the Internets were meme-ing about this week.
- Metal Gear Solid 4 is coming to Xbox 360. Wait no it's not.
Konami somehow confirms and also denies the game is PS3 exclusive. I'm betting it's coming out for both anyway. Covered by: GayGamer, G4, Dtoid, Kotaku, Joystiq , X3f. - Feb Issue of OXM will have exclusive Rock Band Songs
A Freezepop song and two others by unknown bands. Good thing pretty much any song in Rock Band is fun to play. Covered by: Dtoid, Joystiq, X3F, Kotaku. - Somebody did something that offended other people
Some guy made a ROM hack of Mega Man 2 that parodied the recent Vancouver Airport tazer incident. People got huffy. Surprise! Special note to VH1: just because you are offended by something doesn't make it "senseless". Less emotion, more news plz. Covered by: Dtoid, Wired, VH1, Kotaku, GayGamer. - Ray Kurzweil to deliver GDC keynote
Famous futurist dude to talk about the next 20 years of gaming, geeks collectively orgasm. Covered by: Joystiq, Kotaku, GayGamer.
