Suzanne Cooper, it seems, is a big Omen fan.  So much so that she was gunning for about as many sixes in her newborn Damien’s birthing as possible.
Considering he was born at 6AM on 06/06/06 and came in at 6lb 6oz, if I had an award to give for most obsessive fan behaviour she’d take […]

The propaganda machine is working overtime with things like Second Life starting to take off.   Web Pro News caught this one off the job posting board where someone’s looking for a Second Life developer to create “games” to further social awareness.
In Second Life, I assume.
How long until we’ve got Orcish shills in World of […]

As you may or may not know, I’m not a big fan of flash.  Not only does it have onerous requirements to use (and a horrible Linux plugin/client) but it’s endlessly mis-used to create horridly hard to use websites.
However.  Occasionaly people do with flash what it’s meant for, creating multimedia content that doesn’t take a […]

It’s been a while, but I’ve finally dusted off my writing keyboard and cracked out the first in a weekly series of Linux gaming articles.  First up, I’ve got Triplex Invaders, Maniadrive, and Lost Labyrinth.
If you’re interested in Linux games, PCBurn will be running a couple of game reviews on commercial releases in the near […]

Released under an attribution Creative Commons license, the blender created Elephant Dreams has been released as the first Open movie.
I see this going over big with content re-mixers. More comments once I’ve actually seen the product, until then, take a looksie. (orange.blender.org)

I’ve always been a fan of picking apart the flaws in literary works and movies.  The people at Howstuffworks, though, seem to be legends in the field.
They pick out factual inaccuracies in the first bits of the book (and likely, movie) without breaking a sweat.  This is before getting to the meat of the work, […]

TTilley forwarded over some funny machinima from his current distraction, Final Fantasy XI. It’s a pretty clean cut of a couple of FF characters doing “Anything I can do you can do better”. Good stuff for a bleary eyed Monday morning!

Looks like AllofMP3 (popular, legal Russian music download site) suffered some downtime over the weekend.  It’s come back up now, but there’s rumors floating of a Russian crackdown on anything the IP markets don’t like.  Civilizing or somesuch, I’m sure.
At any rate, El Reg is covering the story and promises to update once they’ve got […]

Microsoft is pitching Nintendo’s Wii as the answer to the PS3. Why it would give the Nintendo system a shout aside it’s own kit is unclear, aside from Microsoft folks having the marketing sense of a roadside lemonade vendor.  I’m guessing they do their best when they’ve managed to crush all competition in a market […]

The American Gub’ment is continuing it’s war on porn.  Showing exactly how neutral ICANN is, they’ve forced the board to vote against the .xxx domain.  The rest of the world be damned, apparently.
If you didn’t know better, you’d be forgiven for thinking that porn is illegal in the States based on recent actions and onerous […]
