Evening Reading

1371

I have some suspicions about next week. We shall see.

Apple not happy over Pre
Digital TV delay?
25 years of Mac and stuff
A rock climbing catfish
FDA says ok to human stem cell trials
Zune sales tanking
The Pope hits YouTube
Goat detained for armed robbery

As for the the videogame news around these parts:

Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena screenshots
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix PC demo released
Microsoft layoffs hitting Xbox and Zune
Peggle iPhone coming in March
Burnout Paradise DLC finally adds restart
Halo Wars gone gold, demo details
Star Wars MMO screenshots
Madden NFL 09 says Steelers win
Halo Wars developer video
House of the Dead trailer
GTA4 DLC trailer and screenshots
Microsoft confirms flight sim studio closure
Rock Band gets Grateful Dead next week
Stormrise unit images

Lastly, Battlestar Galactica was really just a bit emo last week. I am hoping for an episode that doesnt make me want to cut myself this weekend!

Then he's presented with his guilty pleasure and simultaneously given the command.

  Jesus, that dog looks like every dream it's ever had was just crushed into itty bitty pieces right in its face, and then the pieces are set on fire and urinated on. That is the look of a dog with nothing to lose anymore. I bet 30 seconds after that .gif ended it ripped out the throat of everyone in the studio and then set the place on fire while a camera films it slowly walking further into the burning building.
