Hive Mind: What We’re Looking Forward To In May

April, we hardly knew ye.

iPhonegate continues to be the biggest story of the month. Are you as sick of it as us? Multi-tasking. Finally. Speaking of Apple, how’s that iPad working out for you? You did see the video of the 99-year-old Oregon woman with her iPad, right? Or Green Day’s response?

Who’s giddy for an HP webOS tablet? *this guy* Microsoft revealed part 2 of their Windows Phone revival with the KIN, you know, for kids.

Ebert wouldn’t shut up about video games being art and we can’t wait to use bodies as shields again. Activision and Infinity Ward broke up and now they’re teaming up with Bungie.

Kick-Ass came and went. We all liked it. The one-sheet for Technotise is…amazing! Whedon directing The Avengers could be amazing. Who is the newest Doctor? All we want is for Lucas to release the original trilogy on Blu-ray without all the extra crap.

Free Comic Book Day is tomorrow, so you should read this primer now. It turns out that the Losers date back to the 50s and WonderCon was a blasty blast.

Summer is almost upon us. Here’s what the Hive Mind is looking forward to in May.

    iPhonegate is interesting still. Want to hear more.
    iPad and old lady are awesome.
    Greenday is “stupid”. (read article and you will understand)
    HP will benefit from Palm, tablet is dead for now.
    The rest is pretty old news.

    #haloreach looking forward to jet packs

  • bloodcatalyst

    #haloreach I still haven’t seen Kick-Ass, and I heard it was awesome. should I feel dirty for not having seen it yet?

  • bloodcatalyst

    I am so not digging how it seems people don’t know the difference between a partnership and a buyout. so often I have come across “Halo on ps3″ and “Activision buys bungie” comments that I wonder if people bother being properly informed before they post.

  • bloodcatalyst

    the original trilogy on blu-ray? that would be a reason to grab a ps3.

  • bloodcatalyst

    #haloreach I think Alan Wake is my biggie for may, it really does look awesome. I think the almost “silent hill on steroids” kind of vibe I get from what I see of it is reason to be excited.

  • odst547

    #haloreach personally i think that ipad will not be very succsesful but thats my point of view the ipad could be the most succsesful thing on the market.

  • bloodcatalyst

    #haloreach anyone else excited for split/second? the racing feels so much like need for speed 3 that I can’t get over it. I think it may be far better than blur, which I was impressed with, but pales in comparison.

    #haloreach

    I find it hilarious that apple only had 1 prototype of that iPhone. And then to go ahead and leave it in a bar. With Apple, it figures. I am excited to see if Joss Whedon can pull together a great team and make The Avengers amazing. I wouldn’t trust anybody else to do a better job, because frankly I think it’s a movie for the sake to gain a plethora of money from the comic book movie fad.
