EXTRALIFE – By Scott Johnson

BEIJING (Reuters) – A Shanghai online game player who stabbed a competitor to death for selling his cyber-sword has been given a suspended death sentence, which in effect means life imprisonment, state media said Wednesday.

Interesting.

Thanks for this one, Buzz.

There are many settings you can change for resolution, sound, location of files but you can figure all of that out on your own. For more added realism download the latest Fonts Pack to ensure you are viewing the table decals and text the way it should

Great find for those of you that love a classic game of pinball.

Thanks to Buzz for this one. And oldy but always a goody. Check it!

This from National Geographic:

A galaxy has, say, a hundred billion stars and maybe that many planets. If they’ve picked out the worlds where life has evolved or where life can exist, it’s hard to argue there couldn’t be 20 [such planets] in a galaxy of a hundred billion planets.

This is a great little read.

This from BBC news:

A human version of the classic arcade game Pacman, superimposing the virtual 3D game world on to city streets and buildings, is being developed by researchers at Singapore.

Sounds interesting. The graphical element really pushes this one forward.

More and more, you readers will start to notice that the blog will be less and less general gaming news or stuff you can get anywhere. It will start to be almost strictly hard to find, obscure, and unique news items. I have done some analysis on comments and news items and pretty much down the board, the topics that get the most action are the ones that really bring added news value to you guys. For example, news that World of Warcraft Battlegrounds are released would probably get 0 comments or activity. You can find that out anywhere. But a topic about a guy who is doing performance art with a Stretch Armstrong doll would get major traffic.

I think you get the idea. Anyway, this will be focus moving forward…news that counts, but that is unique and different. We don’t want to evolve into yet another also ran news source. Comments? Suggestions? Comment away!
