I’ve been playing Buzz! Quiz TV, getting ready for the holidays to outdo my inlaws, they’re tough.  So I’ve been in the mood for more trivia questions of late and my brother-in-law mentioned Sporcle.com.  I decided to check it out, and I found a trvia game for you guys that will have you reminiscing your past.  This writer ended up with a measly 22 (mistyped two), so I’ll give myself 24.  Give it a shot, and report your scores…

The guys from Antiques Roadshow check out one of the most interesting video game collections I have ever seen including games like ‘Lock Jaw’ that’s worth $4,000. The Keno brothers interview Joe Santulli who runs Digital Press Videogames in an interesting segment of ‘Collect This!’ Check out the video HERE!

About the Keno brothers:

They have excited and enlightened audiences across the country with their lectures and regular appearances on PBS’ Emmy-nominated hit, Antiques Roadshow.

GameDaily recently assembled some of the better game journalists in the business including my old blogging partner Daniel Perez of FileFront. If the last name sounds familiar, that’s because his brother Juan just happens to be the senior editor of Kezins.com. The discussions from the journalists are interesting, but I was wondering where I was when the invites were being handed out. Just kidding… The panel discussion was interesting as the journalists talked about what games they were currently playing. Check out the link below to find out what the writers are playing!

Being the avid Star Wars fan that I am, I’m disappointed to say “I did not know there was a new Theatrical Star Wars movie coming 8/15/08″  After my brother researched the movie, I then realized, “Is that why there’s a new Star Wars: The Clone Wars game coming out?”  So after Captain Obvious hit me with a kendo stick, I woke up from my 27 year nap.  Yes, this will be a movie inspired game.  Those types of games ALWAYS fail.  Example: Hulk, Superman, and E.T.  But after reading up on Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels, there’s a couple things I’ve noticed for this upcoming title.

Snoop is finding ways to make sure every human knows who he is one way or another. The guy did a country song with twangs and all. For a California brother, it ain’t half-bad. Country’s been imitating for so long, it’s not like the genre has a clear sound anymore, which opens the way for people like Snoop Dog and Jessica Simpson to break in. Snoop is well on his way to country stardom. His wife is getting in on the action too, with her drunk driving arrest this past weekend. Go ahead Snoop. I ain’t mad at ya. Especially when you team up with Willie Nelson. Much better than Nelly’s team up with Tim McGraw. Listen to Snoop Dog and Willie Nelson right here: http://perezhilton.com/2008-06-18-this-is-not-a-joke-40.
