According to Joystiq, Jack Thompson filed the following complaint against Bioshock ads: "Take-Two... is aggressively marketing its newest Mature-rated video game to kids under 17 years of age... On this Friday's night's 8 pm Eastern time airing of WWE's wrestling program "Smackdown," there were repeated ads for Take-Two/Rockstar Game's Mature-rated, incredibly violent BioShock".
Alexander Silwinski then writes: "Hey, we had no idea Rockstar had anything to do with BioShock ... oh wait, that's right, they didn't."
Good one, Jack. He needs a pail. To the head.

With so many companies obviously "augmenting" their Wikipedia entries for some self-tooting, Wikipedia needs to rectify this edit-fest - and fast. What's the point of trying to be an encyclopedia when the facts can be changed by anyone who has access to a keyboard (read: practically everyone)?
It's not like Wikipedia should be the primary source for investigative reports, anyway, but it's credibility doesn't need to be graffitied over. Because that's exactly what's going on. Big companies (and the government, apparently) has the spare time to spray-paint over the Wikipedia walls - or "clean them up," so to speak. Unfortunately, everyone else has a digital spray can as well - and eyes.

I do not understand why E3 chose to close its doors to the public in order to keep the focus on the games. If the games are truly the heart of the convention (which, they are), then the producers could have gotten rid of the glitz and glamor meant solely for the audience (i.e. booth babes) while still letting more of the public in. Even if E3 was never a fully public trade show, there are other (better) ways to place the attention on the games than removing every common person that plays them. For many gamers, E3 was a place to express their love for games, but instead of driving them towards a more mature convention, E3 shut them out. Slamming the doors on a healthy part of gaming culture - popular gaming culture - feels just as overboard as it would to ban all the cosplayers from Comicon

Do you smell the aroma of fresh freelance work? It's intoxicating.
Being the "gaymer" that I am, I love two things: video games and figure skating. Ha! Unfortunately, these two fields hardly intersect. Aside from (I'm not kidding) Michelle Kwan's figures skating video game for the PC (which hardly got a lick of press, for good reason), I can't think of any reason why something that is based on artful technique would be easily translatable to a mostly rule-based video game medium.
Which is why, this is the closest thing to a fusion of triple lutzes and games that I can think of. It's not perfect (especially towards the end), but the song strangely works with the choreography.
