    Marvel Hires Writer for Black Panther Film

    I'll be totally honest, it took me a couple seconds before it finally twigged,and I was a little disappointed that it was referring to the Marvel IP, not the Party. Speaking of identity politics, looking forward what the genetic dead enders at the Conservative citizen council will spew about...

    BioWare: Videogame Industry Releases "Too Many Games"

    Really? The most disappointing thing about the industry today is that its so awesome it too awesome? Eugh. Good to know that some of the industry's leading lights are content to give back pats all around.

    Really looking forward to a Homefront review after watching that first bit, hopefully we can look forward to more of the same dark poetry.

    Real Black Ops Guy Discusses Violence in Games

    Nice. I distinctly remember playing Halo CE many a year ago and thinking "Years from now somebody is going to get their balls shot off thinking they've got recharging energy shields."

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Censored in Germany

    At this point I could give a shit about the absence of pixellated blood, but the complete removal of "Sympathy For the Devil"? What's the German government got against good tunes?

    Michael Atkinson Once Again Dismisses Gamers

    I can't even get pissed off over these people anymore. It probably helps that I don't live in Australia and can't do anything about it. Instead, I can only wonder how people can be so afraid and damning of human nature. People enjoy playing games with violence and sexual themes for the same...

    Guitar Hero: Rock Opera

    What's funny is that the one of the reasons Activision dropped Brutal Legend in the first place is that the suits wanted to incorporate it into the Guitar Hero franchise, plastic instruments and all, and Double Fine refused. Apparently Anglo-Australian misanthropes and souless, franchise-abusing...
