It’s official kiddies, Hideo Kojima has announced that Metal Gear Solid 4 will be the final installment in the MGS series, and promises that “all the story plot, the characters, the mysteries, will be revealed”. That’s a tall order, considering how confused people were by MGS 2 and the series in general. You can sneak a peek at the trailer here, but I think it’s pretty much broken the internets for now, so try again in an hour or ten.

Here’s to you Mr.Kojima, and providing us with a pop culture icon that’s sure to live on for more than 5 minutes in our ADD scrambled minds.

On a side note, the fact that the MGS games are relatively short makes it alluring to do a playthrough of all the games in a week. Maybe there’s something to be said for that, kind of like watching the LOTR trilogy nonstop.

This is odd. That PSP looks no slimmer than the one I haven’t given back to my friend yet. Granted, these are just pictures and side by side comparisons may yield more obvious changes in size. Still, when the DS Lite came out it made everyone ooze about how it was teh sexay, and frankly this just doesn’t compare. The bling-y silver color also really throws me off. Lovin the darth vader graphic on the back of the white one though.

Looks like Sony is dropping these babies in September in $199 packages that either include a Daxter UMD game and Family Guy UMD or Star Wars Battlefront:Renegade Squadron, which also nabs you the cool Darth Vader logo.

Welcome to our liveblog of Sony’s E3 keynote. All blogging will take place in the comments section, so follow along.

Hello WordPress, Earth, everyone else. This is Warcadia, a diplomatic new blog for all things PlayStation and Xbox brought to you by me, Rollin — new PS3 owner and early Wii adopter — and friends as a sister site to WordPress’ shiniest jewel, Intendo ~ the anti-fansite: hideout to five Nintendo renegades trying to survive these turbulent, casual times.

As the name indicates, Warcadia is a new generation hub where the big 2 consoles will come together in the midst of war. Here, you’ll find all the updates and noteworthy topics on your powerhouse system of choice. Like Intendo, Warcadia will strive to offer a load of opinionated everything – articles, speculation, original features and other suchlike blogging things without boring you with… boring stuff. We realize that you probably read a million blogs a day, so we’ll keep our news selection restricted to the essentials. Also, fairness is our aim and with that comes frequent bouts of requisite offense to and defense of any particular console. Most of all, we’re cynical beasts and highly critical so be aware of that before you jump in.

However, your help is needed. We need writers! A handful of them. Criteria include:

* Ownership of a new-gen console and adequate knowledge of it
* Knowledge of anything related to Xbox 360 or PS3
* A severe lack of Sony/Microsoft hate in your blood
* The absence of overexaggerated adulation for Sony/Microsoft
* Basic knowledge of industry happenings
* A small number of fanboy cells in your genetic makeup
* An entertaining/interesting writing style without snark or other trite blogger traits
* An abundance of opinion
* A good amount of objective subjectivity
* 19 years of existance or more

That’s not a strict set of rules, but they do matter. Comment if you’re interested and you’ll either get a 1-week trial or immediate authorship. If you’re too shy to comment, you can find my contact info here.

Warcadia. Let’s make it happen, shall we?
