I like them.  Epic has done a great job with their Gears of War ads.  I was showing Angie last night and she liked them, too.  I took that as a sign that they were a little more than an average gameplay trailer, especially since Gears is NOT her type of game.  The first one, with Gary Jules remake of the Tears for Fears song, “Mad World”:

And then for Gears of War 2, they used DeVotchKa’s “How It Ends”:

Do you like these?  Would you buy a game, or look INTO buying a game, after seeing an ad like these?

I was talking with Chris recently, who told me about his idea to revamp his site completely away from a blog-type forum, and go in a totally new direction.  I’ll let him tell you that, and not steal his thunder.  But it got me to thinking: what could I do new with my site?

The blog thing is fine, and I definitely wouldn’t get rid of it, but maybe it’s time for a new format, where the blog is one PART of a bigger, more all-inclusive web presence.  I’m not sure yet what I want to do, but if anyone has any constructive thoughts, I’d be happy to soak them all in.

A new design is DEFINITELY in order.  I’ve been working on one for quite a while now, and that will happen for sure, but I’m thinking more as far as content.  I’d like to do some more regular stuff, but have trouble sometimes with just a generic blog form of textual free-form thought.  If I had a more specific goal, like a weekly game review or video of some kind, it would beat the whole “what to post” struggle, and I could just bang something out.
