That ad looks like a carbon-copy of the Punisher movie poster.

@RagingWolf: Yup. A guy with weapons in a black setting. Complete copy. And the Punisher movie did it first.

Marcinko, is a badass! I hope the game lives up to the man. That said, I'm a bit dismayed that it went to common denominator shooter instead of the tactical game it was supposed to be.

Let's see what Micky Rourke as Marcinko can do.

Does anyone else find it interesting that the man is 68 years old and still looks capable of outperforming modern soldiers?

All of a sudden the Punisher comics don't seem so far fetched by having Castle being a similarly aged Vietnam vet kicking ass.

Nice, Totilo and I share commuting paths, tunnel connecting the 1/2/3 to the L and 6th Ave lines! I noticed this also this morning. Poster made it a whole week before it got defaced.

@Stephen Totilo: I just finished reading Rogue Warrior, and I recommend you pick it up Stephen. Besides being a great and hilarious read, I have a feeling it'll put the game's direction into focus. My playtest of the game seemed odd until I read the book.

And I doubt its based solely off Rogue Warrior, which is an autobiography. His other novels detail more of missions or, as Pete mentioned, BS.

I didn't realize that Bethesda was producing id's titles now. It is a bit weird to consider Doom II as a Bethesda property...but hey, why not?

EDIT: For the record, I know they are owned by the same company now, but it seems a little weird that it isn't stated as "Zenimax's Doom II" instead of listed as Bethesda's.

@Ben Nadler: I get this feeling that "Zenimax" is one of those branding attempts that won't ever take off like they intended it to.

Since all the Zenimax people were Bethesda people up until recently, they are all identified as such by the press and gamers.

Bethesda is a known name (and in a good way), and Zenimax means nothing.

Heck, they might even recognize that internally and refer to themselves as Bethesda still.

Why can't PAX be held in a normal city like San Francisco?

@Dash_Stryker: Wait, you're saying that San Francisco is a NORMAL city?

Besides, the Penny Arcade guys are from Washington, why would they go somewhere else to have their own show? Cali already has Comicon and E3, not to mention that Microsoft and Nintendo are located just a short trip away in Redmond

@Leno: They picked Seattle purely as a convenience to themselves (themselves being the Penny-Arcade guys [www.penny-arcade.com] ) since they are located nearby.

They are doing an east coast version later this year (or next?) I think, but IIRC it will be somewhere up in the northeast.

Keep in mind that this was started as a gathering for fans of their webcomic, it was small, and it wasn't nearly the size and scope that it is now. It's actually kind of amazing how this thing has grown into such an enormous event.

Well, Mickey Rourke can talk about the video game he's doing a voice for, or he can talk about the endless stream of insanely hot women he's bagged in his movies. Which would you choose if you were him?
