  1. In a shocking move, NBC has canceled Law and Order. Dick Wolf is angry, and may move it to TNT.
  2. Microsoft is now announcing Natal the Sunday before E3. To say they are turning it into a circus would not be an understatement.
  3. http://kotaku.com/5538407/this-is-not-the-marvel-super-hero-mmo-youve-been-waiting-for
  4. Not a fan of the game, but I'll see anything with Bruce Willis.
  5. Because I know a few people on here want to see it, here's RR in his mocap suit and a cute little dog at his feet for some reason.
  6. Lie to Me has been picked up for 13 episodes. Human Target has been picked up for 13 episodes. Olivia Munn in a tv series? I don't like where this is going.
  7. ABC picked the show up. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/45055 It sounds very Fantastic Four. It can be good if it's mixed with humor, and not treated like the next Lost.
  8. I remember hearing awhile back that somewhere in the neighborhood of half of all XBox 360s are not online, and I'm sure the Wii is lot higher due to it's demographic.
  9. Sadly, a lot of the world can't use this because high speed isn't everywhere yet.
  10. That's why I ask about renting. The problem is the license to play the game is different from the one to use the servers. The one to play the game transfers, but EA believes the other one shouldn't. It might be something a court would have to decide.
  11. Comedy Central has canceled The Sarah Silverman Program.
  12. The market will correct itself. Less people will buy used games, so used games will be cheaper. You will end up paying the same amount you are now, just split between two different companies. The games belong to EA, so they can do whatever they want with them. The only power we have is the decision to buy them or not. Saying a company doesn't need more money doesn't make sense because more money means more games we get to play. My only question is how this affects renting games. About the HP analogy: If you had to connect to HP's private network to access the internet, they would charge you or at least blast you with ads.
  13. EA doesn't get any money from that sale, so this is how they are going to do it. It's just good business. Nobody is being forced to buy a game.
  14. It costs money to keep old games going online, and there aren't enough people playing to warrant them doing it. Charging at least lets them get some of that money back. I don't see a problem. Plus, this screws Gamestop, which is a good thing. EA doesn't make any money from used game sales, and this is how they are going to change that.
  15. Isn't Scores the place that named the champagne room after a supreme court justice? edit: here is the story.
  16. I got a green Nano. I like it. I didn't realize all the stuff they added since the last time I had an iPod. It has a speaker so you can listen to it without headphones if you like music sounding like a 50s radio.
  17. Imagine all the cheesy shots of Cap's shield flying towards the camera. Ugh
  18. http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/101036-judge-dredd-will-be-the-law-in-3d An independently financed movie based on a comic book made for 50 million that's also 3D? That's so crazy it might just work. But I'm sure it'll suck.
  19. Deniro didn't lose 100 pounds, then gain it back, just to lose 30 more in less than a year.

    Randomness

    Ricky Gervais taught me that money is everything, even if you act like you are ashamed to have it.
  21. Tom Hanks didn't get Aids to do Philadelphia and he was great in it. I think there is something wrong with Christian Bale. He gets too into his roles, and is willing to harm his body for them. He basically goes from an anorexic to a body builder. That's not dedication, that's crazy.
