Would You Pay $2 A Month For A YouTube Channel? YouTube Thinks You Will
YouTube’s becoming a real business. *sniff*
It wasn’t all that long ago when YouTube sought a bunch of partners to develop original content for them. It also wasn’t that much later that YouTube yanked a lot of those Channels’ funding when they weren’t making any money. Now YouTube has a new idea for these content providers: monthly subscriptions between $1-$5 a month. It kinda makes sense.

EA Announces ‘The Sims 4’ Announcement, Game Out 2014
I kinda want a Sims crystal.
Who announces an announcement? People! People do! Well, this is par for the Electronic Arts game, so I guess it makes sense. We won’t know anything about the game until this afternoon, although I may exhaust all of my interest reporting about The Sims 4 by the time I finish this post. Read the rest of this article…

‘Iron Man 3’ Review: The Best Iron Man Yet
Tony Stark has seen better days.
With The Avengers, supergeek Joss Whedon crafted an almost impossibly epic superhero movie. After years of buildup, we were finally given a movie that featured all of these larger-than-life characters joining together as a team to defend the entire planet. It worked because it fulfilled Marvel’s promise to its audience; it was a massive, unique event. However, many must have asked, “How can sequels starring only individual superheroes from the team possibly hope to top this movie?” By its very nature, an Avengers movie must contain more spectacle than an entry following one of the individual heroes. Any movie attempting to top The Avengers on its own terms is destined to fail.

Facebook Allows Parents And Gamers To Debate Violence For The First Time
C’mon, Couric.
Is it 1993? Because on a recent episode of Katie Couric’s talk show, the once mighty journalist made a baffling, one-sided argument tying violent crime to video games. I fully expected a Mortal Kombat or Doom reference to pop up. No, it’s 2013 and these times allow concerned parents, who are naive about the operation of video games and probably still need three more friends to help them out in FarmVille, to discuss the issue in the same forum as agitated video game players who are frustrated that media like this still exists. It’s weird and amazing.

Mozilla Teams Up With Epic Games to Make Unreal Engine 3 Browser-Friendly
It’s natural that once you create a technology, the next step is to minimize it to a fine point. This would be my guess anyway. Graphics engines like Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 continue to iterate every year or two, leaving us all curious what will be pulled out of their metaphorical technology hat next.

‘Shadow Of The Eternals’ Is A Spiritual Successor To ‘Eternal Darkness’, IGN Reveals Cheesily
Yeah, that looks like something from Eternal Darkness, all right.
First off, it’s really kinda cheesy how IGN is presenting this. Sure, I remember the old days of PC Gamer where the back page would hint at some great exclusive coming the following month, but releasing an exclusive teaser trailer for Shadows of the Eternals on Friday and promising the goods on Monday is straight out of the marketing farm, not the journalism den. At any rate, this proposed ‘inspired by’ from Precursor Games, whom I assume are a lot of former Silicon Knights employees based on their Too Human-inspired logo. The thing is, with how badly that company went down the drain, should we be excited that Denis Dyack is still on board?
