Nominate your favorite gadgets for the 2013 Engadget Awards
No, 2013 isn't a typo. With CES 2014 already behind us, it may seem silly to take a look back at the previous year in tech. But let's not get too ahead of ourselves -- 2013 brought plenty of innovative products, and we want to hear which were your favorites. It's time for the 2013 Engadget Awards, so submit your nominations for the 12 categories below. You don't need to fill in a pick for each one, but make sure your selections are from the 2013 calendar year. (Helpful hint: just disregard anything from CES 2014, and you'll be good.) Nominations will be open until 11:59PM ET on Friday, March 7th, and then we'll narrow down your submissions to the most popular picks for final voting. Now, get to it!
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children reports from Hollywood
For the Final Fantasy fans lucky enough to be near Hollywood yesterday night -- and in line for free tickets during the middle of a regular workday -- there was much rejoicing to be had as Advent Children celebrated its U.S. theatrical premiere in style.Siliconera has a write-up on the event with quotes from most of the American voice actors in attendance, who, along with the audience at hand, watched the film in English for the very first time. Lip synching may have been off due to the low-resolution print the actors had to work with, but even Rachel Leigh Cook -- pictured here with her character Tifa Lockheart -- declared herself a new fan of Final Fantasy after the show.Helpful Joystiq Contributor epobirs also had something to report from the screening yesterday, where he gives us an Ain't-It-Cool style rundown of the event. If you want the rest of his reflections on the requirements of the Academy in Oscar nominations, as well as what it takes to "assert your hetero nature ... after watching a movie packed with metrosexual men," simply continue reading below for more. Siliconera's report can be found by clicking on the image of Ms. Cook above or the Read link below. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children will be out on DVD/UMD April 25th.[Thanks, epobirs; image of Tifa courtesy of Eyes on Final Fantasy]
