But if you have noticed my countdown in the last couple of months, you know there is a movie I am waiting for. A new trailer has just been released:
And if you are an old school PC gamer, you may be interested to know that a fan-game based on the old Sierra adventure game series, King’s Quest, has finally seen the light of day after being hit with a cease-and-desist not once but twice by two different companies as the old Sierra assets have been passed around. Well, the first chapter of The Silver Lining has been approved by Activision and is now available for your enjoyment. You just have to sign up for their fan club to download it.
As long as I’m posting Youtube videos, I might as well add a third item to the post I just read about. It can be seen as retro-gaming related as well, as it is an easter egg that allows you to play snake in any Youtube video that uses the newer interface. Rather than trying to summarize the news, let me just point you to where I read it:
Neowin: Easter egg on YouTube lets you play Snake
That’s a neat idea – a way to drum up some publicity. Hide a game, and then when people find it, everyone will talk about it.
Embedding has been disabled by request… how annoying.
But BOY… does it look GOOD! Now to find the original!
Whoops, sorry about that- just do as it says and click to go to the actual yt page then. There may be an alternate link, but I don’t have the time to look right now unfortunately.

BTW, some smart guy decided to upload a video just for that snake game- an all black background with Super Mario Bros. music playing in the background: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RzTXFF0OYE
Yep. clicked in the yt link 😀
