Evening Reading
by Nick Breckon, May 19, 2009 6:00pm PDTIt's nice to hear that Zeno Clash apparently sold well enough to justify a sequel. Games that I also hope get a sequel: Plants vs. Zombies. Or, rather, I hope Popcap makes another game that good that doesn't have anything to do with jewels.

So, I was out exploring the wasteland, when I picked up this strange radio signal. Since I wasn't near any tower, I decided to check it out. Unlike the morse code they usually had, this one sounded kind of like an Imperial Probe Droid. I walked around for a bit more, and then I found...
A crashed UFO! Complete with dead Alien. :D
Okay so I knew it was there somewhere because I read about it on the wiki, but I didn't know where, so still finding it on my own was pretty awesome.
Finding shit like this is why I really love this game and Oblivion.

i haven't been this excited since....well i can't remember. it could be 90 mins of terminators just walking around over skulls and i will walk out proclaiming the greatest cinematic experience of all time.
ok not really but i'm pretty psyched and going to the midnight opening show. so i'll be getting off work, going to sleep at about 6 and waking up about 10 to work out until about 11 then walking the 2 blocks to the movies. work tomorrow might suck a little.

Dan Aykroyd has confirmed the third Ghostbusters movie is all set to go before the cameras - with the original cast in place to reprise the characters from the 1984 film. The movie star reveals Sigourney Weaver has signed on for the project, alongside himself, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson - and the film could start shooting this winter. Aykroyd still fears the project could "blow up" "at any second" but he hopes the new film will herald in a new generation of all-girl Ghostbusters.
He tells the Los Angeles Times newspaper, "I'd like it to be a passing-of-the-torch movie. Let's revisit the old characters briefly and happily and have them there as family but let's pass it on to a new generation." And the actor wants Alyssa Milano and Eliza Dushku to consider becoming part of the Ghostbusters family: "I think they're amazing.

The war against Horde, horde (a sister alliance) and Wolves (dunno wtf the deal is with them) rages on. We're not entirely without allies, though: TRC and TRC2 are allied with us against our enemies, and we're working on forging non-aggression pacts and treaties with other alliances.
We're locking down security to prevent meta-gaming infiltration by spies, just like we did in Urban Dead. So far we've only had to kick a few folks who nobody could vouch for; however, our list of players is out-of-date by a day or two, so more might be forthcoming. We've also been purging inactive players to make space in our primary alliance (Shaqnews), but we're pretty much maxed out right now (100). Fortunately, Agrona has graciously agreed to become the host (leader) of a second alliance for folks to make more room. The game is sophisticated enough that both alliances can be linked to allow easy identification of neighbors on the map. However, each alliance has its own separate in-game chat channel -- unfortunately, there's no way to link them together.

It's a tv show where two guys break stuff. They break all sorts of stuff, in plenty of imaginable way. They didn't even bother to make a story to tie all the stuff breaking around, they just break stuff for half an hour.
In an episode they go to a bar and break everything. A jukebox, a pool table, etc. they just break them.
Who said reality tv wasn't intellectual?
