As you may remember from an earlier post, Lost actor Matthew Fox was asked to be the keynote speaker at Columbia College Class Day at Columbia University. While Fox is an alumnus of the university, some graduating students were disappointed with the choice. The actor had the chance to win over his critics on Tuesday, and appears to have succeeded.

The speech itself was humorous, inspirational, and engaging. Fox even poked fun at a graduate who had told the student newspaper that she had never heard of him.

Video of Fox's speech is available after the jump.

Firemints popular title might be making a landing on a new console

So far, Firemint’s excellent Flight Control game has appeared on handhelds (iPhone, iPad and the DSi) but could it be making its home debut soon? All signs point to "yes".

An Australian classification rating for a Wii version of the game has appeared and while it doesnt specifically mention WiiWare, we doubt wed see a boxed copy of the game anytime soon. We emailed Firemint to see if this was true and not just a database snafu and they replied: "Unfortunately I havent got any information for you at the moment, but Ill be sure to keep you up to date if we do announce anything along those lines."

Read into that what you will.

So, would you be up for some Flight Control fun times on the Wii?

Brink tries to stay afloat in this video review with Chris Watters.

On the latest episode of “American Digger" (Wed., 10 p.m. ET on Spike), Ric Savage and his crew headed to Jamestown, Va., in search of colonial relics. But perhaps more exciting than America's origins was Ric Savage himself!

Savage stopped by the TVReplay studio to chat about his trip and the amazing discovery he and the American Savage crew made: a British cannon from the 1700s.

After a freezing-cold dive, crew member Rue discovered it at the bottom of a lake. The cannon, combined with a glass onion bottle and a grenade fragment, got Ric a whopping $10,000. He called the weapon one of the most important finds in his company's history.

Watch our interview with Ric above – we talk British accents (he even did one) and, of course, his “Boom Baby!” catchphrase. Indeed, Ric belted his signature catchphrase for us – a priceless find in itself.

“American Digger” airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on Spike.

Reading the 'Design 101' column over on GameSetWatch got me thinking about The Rules of Gaming.

In the latest edition, Raven game designer Manveer Heir plays Crysis on the PC and lays out what he thinks the game does right, and what it does wrong. The main point he comes away with is this: consistency is key. And this applies to anything: usefulness of abilities, style of level design, whatever. Consistency is definitely key, in all types of games, perhaps most importantly RPGs. Ever play a good RPG for a solid 50+ hours, and then all of a sudden the plot starts to get really...stupid? That can ruin a good game.
