I Will Pull The Sword From The Stone And Be The Once And Future King

So I’m not ready to formally announce it yet, but we certainly may have a trip coming in the near future. Such as, say, early June.

It’s been too long since I traveled, and the bug has bit me once again. Given that tickets are not yet purchased, and hotels not yet booked, it would be premature to say where. But not, perhaps, to give a hint:

It would be remiss of me to mention such things as visiting ancient and legendary destinations such as Blackpool and Exmoor to spot the legendary Exmoor Beast , or all-you-can eating fish-and-chips the fabled foods of this land during the trip. Or even a day trip to frogland.

And banish any thoughts of lurking in used bookstores looking for gamebooks.

Or even watching new episodes of Doctor Who live as they are broadcast.

More details soon. Maybe πŸ™‚

The Sun Shines Bright Today

Well, Capcom have made it official – Monster Hunter 3rd releases for PSP later this year. Here’s the trailer:

From the trailer we can see the game contains most (all?) of the monsters from the Wii game (Monster Hunter Tri), in addition to quite a few new ones, such as the bear and the thing in the last shot. All the weapons are back (gunlance, twin blades) and they seem to have added the switch axe from the Wii game.

The cat helpers return, and now it seems we can have two of them? I recently read they are not in the Wii version, so I wonder what took their place?

It also seems no water missions, although perhaps they just are not ready to show it yet.

At any rate, you can bet once this comes stateside I will be all over it. You may recall the last MH PSP game was my choice as game of the year for 2009.

The Wii game releases here in a little over a month. Rest assured it’ll be spinning in my Wii seconds later πŸ™‚
