You get the picture.

Unless they do things like this (and not on purpose, they should just hand their FX team a $20 bill, a role of duct tape and some fishing line and see what they can do) I don't think it will be as charming as the show.

Seriously, I recently reloaded the PC version of Fable; 45 Mins! So I'll probably do the same thing I did while loading that game: watch TV, read, listen to music, etc. I mean, you can't go and do something else for 10 mins?

On the other side, this doesn't make sense for Apple. If they want to sell TV and movies through iTunes, why not give your customers the storage to carry a lot of that kind of media around with them? Seems like you'd sell more media files that way.

Honestly, the people who should be upset by "christian" games are christians. They should be up set at the quality and what it says about how the developers and publishers feel their audience. Usually the quality is so low, that the only assumstion is that the devs and publishers either a) consider their audience to be unsophisticated when it comes to vidoe games or b) don't give a crap about their audience and are just putting out something that can be labled "christian" because there is an audience so starved for vidoe games that they'll buy anything labled "christian" (essentially, crooks or con-men). If christians want to play Christian games, more power to 'em. I just hope they get better games. And publishers that care about their customers instead of the current crop that looks like a bunch of swindlers trying to cash in with little or no work and investment.

According to Jim Krueger, AEGIS COO: "Monster ScreenClean products were developed with careful consideration of the growing problem posed by disease-causing agents that are prone to exist on portable electronic devices, where the heat-rich environment and constant human handling can create optimum conditions for contamination. Monster's research in this area has led to the incorporation of the AEGIS Microbe Shield in its ScreenClean products. The AEGIS Microbe Shield technology is used to protect a variety of surfaces in major hospitals and in sports bags. Monster ScreenClean with AEGIS technology permanently bonds to the surface of the cleaning cloth and inhibits the growth of micro organisms, effectively controlling a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew, yeast and other one-celled organisms."

Of course that's what we all have immune systems for.

I'm no fan of anything News Corp. but they seem to be in the right here, and I kinda hope they stop it (they won't, Warner would rather settle than have the movie never make any money) because. I just don't think Watchmen can be done as a movie without stripping out its emotional and thematic underpinnings (like the Black Freighter section).

They are also allowing for power customization, though they haven't announced how far this will go. Though they have announced no classes or occupations. There are very few limits on the types of powers a character can pick. There are no skill trees, instead they are using the idea of "power frameworks", though again almost no specifics have been released. The one restriction on powers they are implementing is that each character must pick one light melee attack and one light ranged attacks. This is required for some of the gameplay mechanics they've implemented. Specifically, endurance recharge. Instead of having an endurace bar that recharges over time, so you have to wait to throw powers, you charge your endurance by throwing lighter attacks and spend it by throwing big attacks. There's also an active blocking mechanic (hold button to block) that will build endurance. They are looking at other types of powers like light heals to build endurance, but that's still being worked on.

One of the most exciting customization, and something they took from Champions if I'm not mistaken, is the ability to desgin your own nemesis that will try and thwart your goals ant certain times. That sounds interesting. but since the thing isn't even in Beta yet, we'll see.

It was a very surreal expirience everytime one drove past it. Kind of made the whole section of the street feel like it was falling into the side of the building. And no matter if you were expecting it or not. Unfortunately these pictures don't really capture how the whole piece fit into the space. I really don't think this would have had the same impact if hadn't been framed the way it was by the street and surrounding buildings and trees.
