Back from Anime Vegas

Interesting to say the least. It was well organized and fan support was great. I do wish it had more industry support. The Funimations, Section 23s and more would have made this convention even better. Do not get me wrong. The amount of planning and organization was great, with events all day long. It was also great to see the fan support. Cosplayers were out in effect out in Vegas. From Sailor Moon to High School of the Dead, we have some pictures coming soon. Until then, enjoy your weekend!

And we're off to Anime Vegas!

Tomorrow the Grotto staff are off to the 9th annual Anime Vegas Convention. Seems to be some good fun is to be had and we will have video for you guys soonish... Until then, go watch something Anime!

Arnold is back for another Conan!

Image
Greetings Geeks! You heard it right. Arnold Schwarzenegger is returning to Hyboria! Deadline is reporting that Arnold is reprising his role as the Cimmerian warrior in The Legend of Conan . Details are minimal right now but what we've heard is that Legend will ignore the events of Conan the Destroyer and of the Jason Momoa Conan reboot. “The original ended with Arnold on the throne as a seasoned warrior, and this is the take of the film we will make,” producer Frederik Malmberg tells the site about where The Legend of Conan picks up. “It’s that Nordic Viking mythic guy who has played the role of king, warrior, soldier and mercenary, and who has bedded more women than anyone, nearing the last cycle of his life. He knows he’ll be going to Valhalla, and wants to go out with a good battle.” Malmberg and Chris Morgan are attached to produce The Legend of Conan. Morgan has already plotted the story himself and may also provide the screenplay, aiming for a summer 2014 release.

PlayStation 3 lvl0 encryption keys released!

Well, this info has been floating around game sites and Sony is probably in panic mode. With the lvl0 keys released, all PS3s on the market have just become fair game. What does this mean? We're talking PSP level hacking here. Custom firmwares, hacks, homebrew apps, and what Sony fears, piracy. Granted, Sony may be able to detect and block systems from PSN, but it may be impossible to block custom firmware. What do you guys think? Is this a win for the little guy or going a bit too far? I will admit thatI have a hacked PSP, but own every game that I have on it. I see the potential awesomeness, but the downside as well.
