‘Macho Man’ Savagely Dies
My Slim Jim wasn’t the only thing to snap early this Friday morning. Yes, it’s sad to report that “Macho Man” Randy Savage has indeed died from a car accident. Sources say the vehicle jumped a median and ‘stinger splashed’ into a tree. His wife, who was with the 58 year old ex-wrestler, was injured but will survive. Florida High Patrol says the outcome would have been different if he had used his signature ‘Texas pile driver’ on the tree but others disagree due to it being banned from the WWE because, if done incorrectly, it can break necks– plus, they aren’t in Texas.

Microsoft To Expand Dropout Rate To 360%
We’ve all seen Apples incentive for students who are looking to purchase an iMac or Macbook– they get a “free” 8GB iPod Touch! Most would consider that to be an awesome deal but when you’re spending over 1K for a basic computer, it’s almost a slap in the face. There’s only one other company that I can think of who’s willing to go one step further to buy a student’s heart. Oh hello there, Microsoft. Why don’t you take a seat over there, after the break.

Is A Good Article Worth $1.99?
“The Final Hours of Portal 2” seems like a celebratory experiment in an era where print magazines are failing and their tablet-friendly versions are doing even worse. Like music a decade ago, people are finding that discrete tomes of editorialized content are worth less than ever before. So what makes this glorified cover article so different?

Rockstar, what HAVE you done?

Master of Orion 2, The Article About
This article works much better if you’ve read my companion piece for the original game.
Oh sure, I dreamt of Master of Orion, but I dreamt of Master of Orion 2. Maybe it’s because I didn’t quite understand the elegance of the first game’s simpler gameplay, but at times it felt like I was gazing upon massive reservoirs of unfulfilled potential. They could put in multi-player! They could spruce this and that up and various aspects could be pulled from the realm of abstraction! Space battles can look like space battles! Master of Orion 2 arrived less than a year after my original peak with the first game, so it was a bit like wish-fulfillment. Unfortunately, many of the unsung reasons why I loved the original came up missing in the sequel, even if it fulfilled many of the features my mental version had in store.
