Oh look, a new console:
E3 does not officially start until tomorrow, but Microsoft (and a few other companies) held their big press conferences today. If you want to see what the next year has in store for Xbox 360, look no further:
My good friend Dylan is working on a short film called “Bite the Hand.” He has put together a pretty talented group of people to make it happen, and all he needs is a few bucks to fund the project. He is currently accepting donations, or pre-orders if you want to think of it that way, for the film. Anyone who donates gets a signed copy of the DVD. Take a look at the teaser trailer and see if this is anything any of you would be interested in helping out:
SYNOPSIS:
This jagged, hard-boiled thriller is about an aging hit man named Jack (Paul R. Sieber) who one day grows a conscience and decides to quit his blood-drenched career. But old connections just won’t die. Jack rejects his final and most detestable assignment: Annihilate the wife and daughters of a monstrous, power-mad client (John C. Bailey). Now he’s a contract killer turned target by his former organization, and it’s boss: the mysterious Mr. Callahan.
Jack takes his quest for redemption a step further by knocking off the child-murdering, psychopathic replacement killer, Ken Bayowitz (Dan Mascarello, Lead Fight Choreographer) in a brutal, no-holds barred action sequence. Enraged by his old friend’s disobedience, Mr. Callahan hires a young former soldier to end Jack’s rebellion. Jack knows someone is coming, but he has no idea that the new recruit, Red (Jay Saunders) is a starving bloodhound sent straight from hell with nothing to lose.
Bite the Hand is a darkly intense, short drama centered on the theme of lost souls with nothing left to lose; killing for a living, and finally realizing there’s always a choice–even under the influence of the most tyrannical authority.
The film is intended for festival circulation, international distribution, and as a “pitch project” for future productions.

Are you looking forward to Battlefield 3 later this year? Yeah, me to. Here is a bunch of info about the upcoming game from DICE. The video covers everything from the game engine, maps, audio, and weapons. There is still a bunch we don’t know about the game, but what is shown in this video looks great. Make sure you pre-order to get the map pack.
