Margalis wrote us a review of Blade: The Series. Everyone else is lazy, apparently, so I'll post it. Ha. Bet I break something.

The original necropost image for f13 (roughly 2 years old). You're going to want to click the discuss link for it to show up correctly, transparency and whatnot kills it.

The zombie found about 3/5 of the way through the new Silent Hill Experience UMD.

Odd.

Simond has revealed news that we've known for a while now, but never spoke of simply because we were in shock and awe. Ok, not really in shock and awe. It was more like a state of totally not caring. We liked Mythic, sure, but we don't particularly care for EA. To summarize, Meh.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2006--Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS - News) today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Virginia-based Mythic Entertainment®. Upon completion of the acquisition, Mythic Entertainment will become EA Mythic, a wholly-owned studio dedicated to developing Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs). Mythic is recognized worldwide for revolutionizing the online gaming space with the award-winning Dark Age of Camelot® and is currently developing Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning(TM) under license agreement with Games Workshop.

The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close during EA's second quarter of fiscal 2007. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Upon completion of the acquisition, Mark Jacobs, the President, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Mythic, will become Vice President, General Manager of EA Mythic.

A number of people have slammed Train Wreck for playing along with Square-Enix’s completely unreasonable billing practices, and yes, he should have washed his hands of them at the first sign of foul play. But is it his fault Square-Enix’s policies are completely muddled to the point that you’ll never really know how much you’re going to get billed whenever you resub? This is just another incident in a string of bad practices throughout the industry.

Apparently someone at Bethesda (everyone at Bethesda) left unclothed peach colored textures in Oblivion. Even without Jack Thompson on the trail, the ESRB has already changed it's rating from T to M. I don't even know what to say. There's nothing sexy about the Oblivion models. More than that any nuderizing that might be happening in Oblivion should add "scarring imagery" to the little ESRB information box. That should be why it gets the M rating. But then, I live in this warm place called "reality" where nudity isn't always sexual. Especially when it's a bunch of ugly people.
