I don't know how it began exactly, but every year for the last four we've gone to see Bioware at noon on the first day. In fact, it is the only time I can remember actually eating anything any year we come to this. So, it is with a certain amount of excitement that we ponder this annual ritual.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Dear Tycho,
Another installment of The Hookup is on the site, and I have a very high opinion of it. We're actually going to meet him this year, I guess he's going to be down there at that place with all the E's.
The gyrations we might go through to make something ridiculous match established canon are well known, even if it's something like a bedsheet, or in this case, an advertising campaign. There's a Powerade commercial before X2 that is - I swear to God - over eighty minutes in length. It really is like a movie about Powerade that you have to watch before your own movie may begin. The fifteen minutes before your film are now a non-stop psychic barrage.
Evil Avatar just posted a little comment about PlanetSide that I thought was interesting.
Also from Namco
Get a load of this press release for Namco's new game I-Ninja.

Sony's mega-remote, mentioned earlier, is - I am told by many humans - an attempt to replicate the Philips Pronto. How could I have known?
Homelan has a little interview action with yours truly going on right here. Tycho is a huge star now and cannot be bothered with such trivial things, so he didn’t answer any of the questions. I tried calling him last night to play some Raven Shield but his personal assistant told me that “Mr. Brahe was in the middle of a very important meeting with Mr. Jacuzzifullofladies and was not available for comment.”
LoudMusic just sent me this link. It's some kind of Goddamned alien remote. Universal is one thing - it's nice to have a single device. But this thing can actually remember keyed sequences, which is nice, because it might mean that Gabe can stay married.
I know it's all very spooky, modern plague or whatnot, so perhaps it is not a viable target for humor. However! I would ask that you check out the second picture in this article on the grave threat. I doubt he is a PA reader or anything, I'll bet that in a scenario like that - where an invisible killer stalks men - you're just trying to make the best of a bad situation.
