Posted by: on February 14, 2011 at 8:11 pm

This isn’t good for Best Buy.

Sorry Johnny, Mirrors Edge 2 Rejected by EA

This is sad, especially for Johnny. I can hear him crying and we’re in different states. According to Press 2 Play TV, EA was shown a prototype of Mirrors Edge 2 but declined to pursue it, preferring that DICE focus solely on Battlefield 3.

Will we ever see another Mirrors Edge? Who knows…

Activists Decapitate Ronald McDonald Statue

Here’s one for the WTF category: A couple of artists in Helsinki kidnapped a Ronald McDonald statue from a local restaurant and made a video Al Qaeda style demanding McDonald’s to answer two simple question or they would behead the statue and put it on YouTube (videos after the jump).

  1. Why are you not open about the manufacturing process, raw materials and additives used in your products?
  2. How many tons of un-recycled waste you produce per year?

Pandora Filing for IPO

As I’m writing this article, I’m listening to music from Pandora (80’s, 90’s and Today if you’re curious). The other day they filed for IPO, which would make it a publicly traded company on the US stock market. What’s crazy about that is that the site is essentially one page with a Flash player on it and an ad. How can they possibly be making enough money to expect people to want to invest in them? 80 million users is how. Read the rest of this article…

Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie Comeback!

Posted by: on February 14, 2011 at 8:53 am

It looks like the former Governor of California is looking to come back to movies. He said:

Exciting news. My friends at CAA have been asking me for 7 years when they can take offers seriously. Gave them the green light today.

I don’t know if this excites me but after watching the above video I order Last Action Hero, Total Recall and Red Heat all on Blu-Ray. I really wanted to get Kindergarten Cop but that’s not on Blu-Ray yet. As a bonus after the jump you can hear me doing my Arnie impersonation… Read the rest of this article…

IE9 is now Release Candidate

Daaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmnnnnnnn you Microsoft! I was really hoping that this was just going to stay beta forever. Now I need to make sure this site works for IE9, I already have enough problems with IE and I’ll be asking clients, “what version of IE are you using? 6, 7, 8 or 9? Oh, you don’t know how to tell?” *mute phone* “DAMNIT TO HELL!”

I don’t even know if I should link to the download, fine here it is.

Activision Laying Off 500 After Guitar Hero’s & True Crime’s Production was Called Off

Hearing stories like this really piss me off, and no it’s not because I just started getting into these type of games, luckily I bought Rock Band because I still have a chance to get more games. Why did Activision stop production of Guitar Hero? Decline in people wanting to buy music genre games and wanting to find more profitable ventures. Well maybe if there was 24 titles across the gaming platform in only 5 years people would still be interested in the music genre? Don’t believe me? Read the rest of this article…
