Bit of a random mix of quick snippets today to make up for recent slackness. Bullet point time!

• New PK header graphic is fab (modest of me, I know) but dear god, making pixel art is both soul and wrist destroying. Never again. Yes, the borders need HTML fiddling, expect that to happen once I shift to Moveable Type.
• The Xbox 360 (codename-du-jour) hype machine continues. More RAM (yes please, had a few dev mates complain that it needed more)? Pre-E3 announcement? Mucho support from Japanese game dev heavy weights (meh, Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s doing a game for it, that’s enough for me)? MS is clearly throwing even more of their weight and cash behind their follow-up console - splendid!
• The new Lara Croft might not suck (I put in a 24 hour test shift on Angel of Darkness in a former life - ugh). I’ve been saying this all along, largely because I have a lot of respect for Crystal Dynamics, plus Warren Spector apparently had some input. Not to mention that her boobs no longer look like weather balloons.
• Prey resurfaces? Now THIS I must see. Apparently in development at Human Head, which is nice - they were about the nicest bunch of guys I met at E3 2000 so really hope this is a) True b) Successful.

Alright, I’m done. Expect a writeup on Legacy of Kain: Defiance soon - it unexpectedly consumed my entire Sunday, 2 pm to 2 am.
