Behold The New Diablo III Logo T-Shirt

I just got out of a brief interview with Diablo III lead designer Jay Wilson, where we discussed a few things about the role of gender in video games and the new rune system in Diablo III, but the whole time I was in there I couldn't take my eyes off of his t-shirt. I've seen it around the convention, but this was my first chance to see it up close. Behold, the new logo for Diablo III. I really dig the ponies.

The shirt is of course a direct response to the fans who cried out that Diablo III was too bright and colorful for a Diablo game. I'm a little sad that this isn't the real logo myself.

Jay said that if there was a huge outpouring of demand thaqt these shirts might one day be offered to people for sale, so you might wanna start outpouring now. I need one of these. I briefly considered taking Jay's, but he seems like a rather tough fellow and I'd rather not take any chances. Outpour!

Big Daddy Is Happy To See You

An ambitious title like BioShock is bound to have its fair share of glitches, but Big Daddy here doesn't care about that. He's just really happy to be appearing in the game and getting a chance to meet you. Possibly NSFW, especially if you work in a nautical museum.

Clip: The Amazing Hudson Train In Action

Earlier we were delighted to find out that Hudson's hardware division had a miniature train that you could ride. Then we were sadden after hearing Konami's irrational decision to shutter the division with this amazing train. And now? Happy once again! Above is a clip of that feature not only the train in action, but the Hudson Honey in a Kotaku-colored dress and tights. There's a chase scene, too. Made our day — No, our week. Brian Ashcraft

Bob Ross Game Still On, Folks

The dream is alive! Previously, we reported that the Bob Ross game was peril. Happy peril, but peril nonetheless. MTV's Stephen Totilo brings word that the game is still on. While things didn't work out with the title's previous developer, AGFRAG Entertainment Group, Bob Ross Inc. hasn't thrown in the paintbrush. Says the company's media director Jane Kowalski:

By hook or by crook there will be a game. There's no way we couldn't do a game because everybody wants one badly.

Yes, yes, hooks and crooks, YES!! So, what happened with those AGFRAG Entertainment what's-its-face?

I think they were sort of overwhelmed and they don't have the resources and the energy to tend to the huge demand that is needed. We are currently working on digging up the development team that has the swift enthusiasm to carry through.

Damn straight. This is Bob Ross, people. Publishers are swooping Bob Ross Inc. to make the title happen. The company is dead-set on getting it to the Wii and expects to make an update on progress shortly. Bring on those happy little trees. Brian Ashcraft
