I had a chance on the second day of E3 to speak with Joseph Olin, the President of the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences, an organization whose primary purpose is to promote computer and video game entertainment.
Joseph and I talked about everything from the current and possible future states of the gaming industry to the influence sports and casual gaming has nowadays on gaming.

2010 NBA Scoring Champion and All-Star, Kevin Durant, has been named cover athlete of EA Sports revamped basketball franchise NBA Elite 11 (formerly NBA Live). Durant is hot off the heels of a break-out season in which he scored 30.1 points per game, shot 48% from the field, and shot a stellar 90% from the free throw line. Durant is one of only three EA Sports cover athletes to be featured on both an NCAA and Pro game cover, having been cover athlete of 2008’s installment of NCAA March Madness. This has certainly been a big year for the newly renamed franchise, which also added new Creative Director David Littman from EA Sports NHL franchise. Durant joins Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees, Tiger Woods, Fedor Emelianenko, Randy Couture, Tim Teebow, and Stanley Cup Champion Johnathon Toews as a member of the 2010 class of EA Sports cover athletes.

Based on the long-running DC Comic, Jonah Hex is about a gunslinger in the old west who becomes a bounty hunter after his family is killed. His face is scarred in such a way he is scary to look at to his enemies. However, this movie is not what anyone is hoping for. The production team behind the film got about 60 percent of the character wrong.
Lost in the 3D and motion controller ocean that was this year’s E3, is the trailer for Battlestar Galactica Online. Developed using the single most important gaming technology since the CD-ROM, the Unity Engine. Basically, Unity is a 3D game engine that is both lightweight and powerful, in which the finished game can be published to run in a web browser. Expect to see many well developed titles using this engine in the near future. BGO is being developed by Big Point Games, who have a ton of other web based games on their site. Check them out sometime, not half bad, and completely free.
In this final video from E3 in California, I give a quick wrap up of the overall event and show many of the pictures I took there… which of course has booth babes in them. I also discuss and speculate the different aspects of the upcoming Spiderman game, which is looking very interesting so far.

Dan Stark is quickly becoming one of television’s most entertaining characters. He lives his life according to his own rules and doesn’t let himself fall into the abyss of cliches that constitute most cop procedurals. He’s interesting in that he and his partner catch bad guys even though his method of stopping crime may seem a bit outdated. If you take his rapid-fire personality, the flirting, his mustache, his shades, and his quirky non-sequiturs, you get one hell of a unique cop. Tonight, he was the star of “The Broken Door Theory,” the best episode of “The Good Guys” to date. The show has been shaky in its first couple of episodes, but thankfully the cast seems to be meshing a little better. If the writers can work out the rest of the kinks in the show, “The Good Guys” may actually become a great show. However, not even the anomaly that is Dan Stark and the goofy action scenes can save the show from sometimes sticking too closely to its own format.
