New footage from METRO: Last Light. Get METRO: 2033 for FREE! (video)

After reading the English translation of the Russian novel, I have played Metro: 2033 on the consoles and PC. I am a fan. (I know there is a second book but I have not heard the best things about it and getting an English translation has been difficult.) 

THQ did a great job with the first game, re-creating the "feel" of the book.  The tone is as dark as the corners of the old subway which humanity now calls home. The claustrophobic feelings you get in the book are fully realized in the game.  I go back to it from time to time because it is a very different shooter.  And, I like the story.

THQ is giving the PC version of the game away this week: https://www.facebook.com/MetroVideoGame?sk=app_395840630491782

(You have to be logged in to Facebook, I could not find another way to get the game)

THQ has been working on a new game called Metro: Last Light. The new game looks to expand of the first and even says it is still based on the first book.  It is coming March 2013 and this new gameplay footage looks amazing:

 

So far, so good. Looking forward to March!

First official trailer for OBLIVION (video)

Oblivion is an upcoming sci-fi movie from the producers of Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and the director of Tron Legacy. Add Morgan Freeman and call me interested, this actually looks pretty good. 

Official Synopsis: 

Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack's mission is nearly complete. Living and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands. 

Maybe he will find Wall-E! 

Oblivion opens April 26th.

SEBASTIAN 1/1/1993-12/8/2012

My best friend of nearly two decades did not quite make it to his 20th birthday, coming up on January 1st. I am sorry to say, Sebastian succumbed to the complications of old age today. 

One of a kind, he was by my side through hurricanes, tornadoes and the ups and downs of my life since I was 26 years old. He lived and made friends in GA, AL, TN, FL, WV and Grand Cayman Island. 

Sebastian leaves behind @ScottHamilton, @LisaCascone, #LuckieTheCat, #ArcherTheDog, #RemyTheGreat and literally hundreds of family and friends who thought he was amazingly awesome. 

Totally unique, he was the smartest, sweetest, most kind-hearted non-human I have ever met and he was always there for me. 

Please keep him in your thoughts as he heads to that kitty playground among the stars. 

You will be missed, my friend. 

Safe journey until we meet again, Sebastian.  

Best. Kitty. Ever.
