So we finally started linking to some people we thought you should check out, some fun time blogs that we feel compliment us by touching on some things we don’t talk about on our site. Check them out below:

Good Grief: A brief break from E3

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Let’s take a brief break from E3 – shall we? I came into work today and sat down to go about my day with my iPod on shuffle to keep me from bludgeoning myself with a stapler when this gem came on:

what…a song from the SMASH 90′s hit family sitcom “Dinosaurs” it was none other than Baby Sinclair singing “I’m the baby, gotta love me…” etc.

How would something like this happen you ask?  Simple.

It’s all Arien’s fault…

E3 2010 – it begins

Monday, June 14th, 2010

E3

This is it, guys – the big gaming event of the year running from the 15th to the 17th.  While E3 is always an exciting event I feel like this year is going to be a big one.  There’s a lot of new technology being shown off between Microsoft and Sony’s motion control devices and Nintendo’s next DS incarnation.  There will be some big name games on display like the new Zelda title and Portal 2, and much more.

Things are actually already under way in some respects.  Nintendo has revealed details on their upcoming Zelda game simply titled “The Legend of Zelda” – set long before The Ocarina of Time.  Microsoft has announced a change in name for their controller-less motion gimmick from “Natal” to “Kinect” – a name which makes sense in theory but in practice kind of sucks.  Though, given the way it is looking it’s probably suitable.  See and judge for yourself:

I’m personally excited for more footage from the upcoming Scott Pilgrim title.  Footage was recently released of the 4 player co-op sides crolling beat ‘em up extravaganza.  The visuals are amazing, the music is fantastic, so my fingers are crossed on the game playing living up to the rest of what we’ve seen.

And speaking of multiplayer goodness I am also hoping for a good showing from Behemoth on their next multiplayer title.  Previously titled “Game #3″ the anticipated “BattleBlock Theater” will most likely be shown off in more polished form this year.

Aside from all of these titles there is so much more to come in the next week – it’s going to be a killer show with a ton of surprises including an announced surprise from Valve which many are speculating to be Source Engine 2.

Stay tuned to GNSU and our Twitter page (http://www.twitter.com/gnsucrew) to keep up to date on the happenings and check out our Podcast this week for an E3 centric episode!
