How To Visit The Beating Heart Of Liberty City
We noticed that Gawker posted a picture of the beating heart of the Statue of Happiness in Grand Theft Auto IV's Liberty City, so Crecente and I saddled up to show you exactly how to make it there...and if you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere. Read on for instructions, as well as a clip of Crecente and I embarking on a great adventure, in which he dies. Twice.

Boom Blox Video Walk Through
With few exceptions, we've been kept at a distance from Boom Blox since its announcement. In fact, this video is the first time I've even seen the game in action. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun to play, though I can't help but have have flashbacks to my time with Jenga, which was just painful to play on the Wii. That's the thing with Wii games, if you don't get the control mechanics exactly right the game is dead in the water, there really isn't any room for mistakes.
This video walks you through the training for the game, which does look fun, but until it's in my hands I'm holding off on getting excited.

PVP In The Age Of Conan
From here on out, game trailers lose points with me if they don't have a guy green-screened over the gameplay footage, pointing out features like some gaming weather man. Witness Age of Conan product manager Erling Ellingsen (whose name does amazing things to the tongue) discussing the finer point of PVP in the game, from the PVP level system to the different locations available for wholesale slaughter of your fellow players in Hyboria. I love how he calls them PVP mini-games. Makes me think that at any moment Wario is going to pop out and demand you pick his nose in under three seconds, which is a feature that would completely sell me on the game.

Portal's Still Alive Filmed in LEGO
Nick Larsen put together this kinda cute LEGO stop-motion film featuring Portal's end theme song Still Alive. The music video used more than 1,300 individual pictures and while it isn't quite up to snuff with some of the other videos spawned by Portal exuberance, I still think it's worth a watch. Fahey found it boring, but he has no soul.

Rawstory.com just posted a small summary and video footage of a UK News report on the 3rdSpace gaming vest that lets users feel their characters being shot in games. Activists in the UK are becoming alarmed by the vest thinking it will cause a rise in violence.

Where's My Halo YouTube Button?
I may have been drunk when I suggested it last night, but it's a good question. OK, maybe it isn't, but I'm still going to ask it.
Why hasn't Bungie created a tool that allows for easy exporting of in-game Halo 3 videos? Currently you can shuffle around the data that helps recreate the video, but you still need to own the game to watch a replay and the only way you can create a playable video is by capturing it yourself. I'm sure this isn't news to anyone with a copy of the game.
Wouldn't it be nice though, if they came up with some sort of tool that allowed you to take that data, run it through an engine and export it as a video file? Granted I am a technological idiot when it comes to video... and lots of other things... but this seems like it would be useful.
I started thinking about this again this morning while talking to MTV's Stephen Totilo about the upcoming Spike TV Game Awards nominations. (Stay with me here). He had asked what nominees I had selected for breakthrough technology and mentioned he liked Bungie's Saved Films tech. While I agree it's a very important new element to Halo 3 and all games, I feel like it's a bit broken.
I mean you can do that in Skate, you can do that in Tony Hawk Proving Ground. Why not Halo 3?
Keeping the data in the game creates a hurdle for those who want to use it beyond their Xbox 360. Think of the Machinima applications. Much more importantly, think of how much more prevalent vid caps would be if you could get them onto YouTube with a click of a button.
Of course this all stems from my frustration at not being able to pull a vid of me teabagging Brian Lam for you to see from my saved films from last night.

Assassin's Creed Gets All Assassiny
This video is an excellent little taste of how Assassin's Creed assassinating will play out. Our only gripe? It's the same thing we noticed in old clips. You are surrounded by ten swordsman who are all way too honorable to attack at once. We appreciate the gameplay possibilities, but it just looks so artificial within such a hyper realistic world, no?

Activision gave me a lengthy rundown of Tony Hawk's proving ground here in Leipzig, Germany (Europe). I didn't get my hands on the game, but got a really nice tour of the new features, like the promising personal skate park creation, which can be shared with your friends in online multiplayer. But I'm not going to run through all of it. Instead we're focusing on what I consider the two most incredible innovations: a powerful video creation tool and hoodie physics that resemble Jabba the Hutt's stiffy (not that we'd know).
