A Meet the Pyro Coming Soon

At GDC 2012 we got an interview with three writers from valve, that told us some pretty interesting information pertaining to our mysterious little friend. Pyro is the only class with out the "Meet the" video, and everyone has eagerly been awaiting for it. They have actually FINISHED Meet the Pyro, but they don't drop any hints as to what is really in it. In the interview with the three writers, they mention that it could be soon and that we most likely will be getting a big update that has to do with the release of the video. Most likely something similar to the Uber Update. We already knew it was bound to happen sometime this year, but at least we know they are one step closer to uploading the video.

2012 Video Game Release Dates

Since it is now 2012, 17 days in the new year, I have decided to put together a compiled list of video games that are planned to be released sometime this year in a horribly done table.

I will try to update the list as much as I can and I will create a separate page later today for those that need to take a gander at future releases throughout the year. This list might or might not be 100% accurate the whole duration of it being up, but I'll try to update it as new titles are announced or if games get pushed back dates.

Nintendo Misspelled 'November' On Calendar

It seems like Nintendo has made a spelling error for the 2012 calendars that Elite Status Club Nintendo members received.

"As you may have noticed, we misspelled one of the months on the Year-view Calendar insert, included alongside your 2012 Club Nintendo Calendar Elite Status gift. (It's the month between October and December.)

We're really embarrassed and apologize for this oversight; we always want our rewards and gifts to be special. We would like to offer you a replacement Year-view Calendar insert."

If you are really concerned about the spelling error, you can receive another copy of the 2012 Nintendo calendar by clicking on a link that was attached to an e-mail that was sent to Elite Status Club Nintendo members; if you're not one, then sorry, you don't get a Nintendo calendar.

How I never noticed that November was misspelled as 'Nobember', I don't know, but I will never throw this calendar away just because of that reason.

PlayStation 3 To Support 4K Resolution For Pictures

Technology is constantly changing around us, let's take for example the newly made screen resolution. 1920 x 1080 is now old news considering the new 4096 x 2160 resolution.

Nothing now really supports that high resolution except for some cameras, projectors and a handful of televisions. Soon, a new device will be joining the ranks of devices that can supports the new "4K" resolution - the PlayStation 3.

The PS3 will be getting a firmware updated sometime in early 2012 that will allow it to support 4K images, and that's about it. The technology is new, so don't expect too many things that will support the crazy resolution any time soon, but Sony is preparing the PS3 for when games and movies comes in that size.

Point One Might Be The Return Of Nova

Marvel is known for having events after events; right now they're in Fear Itself and X-Men Schism, following with Battlescars and Regenesis. We all know that's going to take place this year, but what about next year? What will Marvel have in us for next year?

Marvel won't exactly tell us what they have planned for 2012, but they're going to tease their fans with Point One, a one-shot 64-paged comic that sets up events that will take place in the Marvel Universe. It also features of returning characters, one most likely being Nova after his death in the Cancerverse with Star-Lord.


Point One #1 will come out on November 2 of this year, so make sure to check it out if you want to know what's going on. It looks like it's going to be something big with the possible return of the beloved Nova.

Mass Effect 3 Delayed

BioWare has announced today that Mass Effect 3 will unfortunately have a new release date sometime in 2012. A representative has stated:

"Today we have confirmed that Mass Effect 3 will be released in the first three months of 2012. The development team is laser focused on making sure Mass Effect 3 is the biggest, boldest and best game in the series, ensuring that it exceeds everyone’s expectations."

At least their reason for a pushed back date is reasonable. I want my Mass Effect 3 to be extremely well done, so I do not mind waiting a little bit longer.
