Bon Iver — Blindsided

A couple weeks ago, I flew over to Paris with Piper to shoot Covert Affairs. We landed on a Wednesday morning and Piper went to the Hotel and I went straight out to my scout. This is my favorite kind of production …

Between discovering the future of your favorite video game franchise or stumbling across a strange action hero accessory list, you may have noticed that we at 30ninjas have stopped posting. That’s because we have been furiously finishing a brand new multi-media project (you could even call it a multi-media extravaganza) for Covert Affairs! We can’t [...]

We scoured and scrutinized. We sifted and searched. We sorted and strained. Finally, after hours of debate (and some help from google analytics) we were able to assemble a list of our favorite gaming articles from the past several months. We know we enjoyed them, and we’re hoping you will too. Is Final Fantasy Dying? [...]

Well fans, many of you may have noticed the news has been coming in a bit slower these days. No, you aren’t just delirious from the PSN being down for three weeks straight now. 30Ninjas is actually closing up shop soon, and Max, Julina, and I (and all your other favorite ninja writers for that [...]

A while back, we reported that Activision was going to take a break from its Guitar Hero franchise and the music game genre in general. We thought that the entire music game market would be run over by Harmonix and Rock Band, but it appears as if they too are taking this chance to take [...]

Mass Effect 3 Delayed The first trailer for Mass Effect 3 pegged Holiday 2011 as its release date. Unfortunately, it takes time to craft sci-fi epics, and an update to the Mass Effect 2 official Facebook page has said that the game has been pushed back to early 2012 instead. Space farers be patient, it [...]

In 2009 Nintendo announced the Wii Vitality Sensor. This strange little peripheral clipped onto your finger and took your pulse as you played a game. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said that it would be used for the purpose of making a relaxing interactive experience that can relieve a gamer of the stress he feels after [...]

Super Meat Boy was one of the most loved indy games of last year. The old school gameplay fused with a plot that was … mostly made of meat … was loved by all sorts of players. There was only one real problem with the game, and that was replay value. Once you beat every [...]

Three character trailers from First Class have arrived today courtesy of MTV. The featured mutants are Banshee, Havok, and Beast. I think this makes a lot of sense considering that none of these genetic superiors got a whole lot, if any, screen time in the previous films. It’s nice to get a little preview of [...]

New York Subpoenas Sony Over PSN Breach According to Bloomberg the New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman recently subpoenaed Sony as part of a consumer protection inquiry. He is seeking information on what Sony told PSN subscribers and when. If a safety guarantee was made, of any sort, or if consumers were not adequately [...]

So I turn on the tele-visual device Sunday night and see a bunch of drunken 20-somethings gathered outside the White House chanting “U-S-A! U-S-A!” Clearly this was just a boisterous show of patriotism in response to Superman’s renouncing of his American citizenship in Action Comics #900. Yeah, remember that whole thing? The superhero thing that [...]

New Guilty Gear Confirmed … Eventually SiliconEra recently had an interview with Daisuke Ishiwatari, creator of the Guilty Gear franchise. When asked whether or not we would see another Guilty Gear, Ishiwatari said “yes” we definitely would. When asked when we would see the new Guilty Gear, Ishiwatari was a little less forthcoming. “Let’s just [...]

Though we provided a PSN news update today, this particular tidbit of info was important enough to warrant its own article. Hazuo Hirai, chairman of the board of directors for Sony Computer Entertainment of America, recently wrote an eight page letter to congress detailing the circumstances behind the PSN breach.
