SGC Blog Entry: If I Could, I would… by KJScott

Remember the Bi-weekly Blog Theme!

With Nathan Hale prepping for his ongoing campaign against the Chimera, I recently found myself wondering what the other Insomniac characters were doing to occupy their time this summer. I imagine Captain Qwark is sitting on his astro couch, sipping Dr. Pepper and munching Doritos. However, what about Ratchet and Clank? Do they have any plans for the future?

Hey there faithful readers.  I’ve got a treat for you.  You may have seen this video already, you may haven’t, but if you have, I’m sure you’ll agree that after viewing it, you’ll never be the same.

Maybe I’m overstating it a bit…

The folks at Harmonix might want to change their E3 plans. Instead of debuting Rock Band 2 in Los Angeles, they might want to set up a live feed from their offices and simply confirm, or deny a recent slew of rumors that have lit up Internet blogs and message boards.

These rumors have primarily focused on a handful of leaked song lists provided by a few play testers that supposedly got their hands on the game early. However, today produced some potentially blockbuster news that could set the Internet ablaze.

A quick note to say that those PS3 owners who either intentionally avoided firmware 2.40 or missed their chance to download it can finally get their hands on the in-game-XMB-enabled Trophy-stacked update in the form of version 2.41. Unfortunately, you still get the rubbish music player.

A quick quote from the folks over at ThreeSpeech details what the initial issue apparently was with 2.40, and if you’re so inclined you can read it after the jump. Otherwise, go ahead and grab the new firmware.

As a reader of quality journalism (and since I’m as pretentious as Piers Morgan from America’s Got Talent) I don’t tend to have a flick through the tabloid newspapers of the UK. However, there was one rather intriguing story about the 360, more specifically the good old Red Ring of Death, but even more specifically about the vastly-improved Elite models, in a recent edition of the Daily Mirror.

Some notorious tabloid gossip scandals follow after the jump!

There’s a bunch of articles popping up in the gaming blogosphere regarding Project Abraham, the apparent viral campaign for Resistance 2, on the PS3. As far as I can see, the video that appears on the website seems to involve a patient who’s infected with the Chimera (the aliens of the series) virus and is slowly mutating, with armed guards standing by just in case the medical procedure to save their life goes horribly wrong.

Eagle-eyed gamers will have already noticed the logo on the mildly-terrifying blondie’s t-shirt is the same as you see while waiting for menus to load in the original Resistance: Fall of Man, with this logo presumably being that of the titular resistance. Oh yeah, and she’s Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica…

What the hell is going on?  Find out, after the jump.

Next Generation’s got an interview with Eric Lempel, the director of PlayStation Network operations, up on their site about future features of the online service including virtual world Home and the movie download service to be launched in the summer.

A few details and some speculation after the jump.

After the disappointing Spring Update, or lack thereof, you may be expecting some massive overhaul to the 360’s user interface. Alternatively, you might be expecting a restructuring of Xbox Live Marketplace? Either way, the guys over at The Fanboys have come up with some really cool conceptual dashboard redesigns.

Hit the jump to have a look (and hear my rantings) .
