"Oh Crap"

The problem with wearing your pants twice in a row to save on laundry is that sometimes you see something that makes you mess yourself in more ways than one.

Take, for example, the trailer for Hellboy 2. Does it contain:

• Awesome mythological monsters? Check.
  
• Lots of over-the-top action? Check.
  
• Investigating a mystery? Check.
  
• The unique touch of Mignola? Check.

I'm not sure sixty seconds of footage have ever made me more excited about anything ever before. Holy god.

War. War Never Changes.

As some of you know, I authored the Fallout PnP RPG a while ago (quite a while ago, actually), so it's with a good deal of interest that I watched the teaser for Fallout 3 by Bethesda. The site is getting hammered at the moment, so take a gander at the YouTube video if you'd like:

It doesn't show any gameplay unfortunately, but they nailed the Fallout style and confirmed the game will be set on the East coast (Fallout games have previously been set only in the West coast.) And that Brotherhood of Steel Power Armor looks absolutely badass.

Fall 2008 can't get here soon enough.
