Dave Mustaine to rock
Dave Mustaine, the ginger-haired whingebag from Megadeth who only ever finds time to write good metal tunes in between moaning about how he used to be in Metallica – in the good ole days. Well now you can pretend you’re a ginger twat, not by appearing on a horrific trainwreck of a documentary about Metallica crying in a therapy session…… Continue »
Activision: Blizzard working on new IP
We’ve posted about the Activision earnings call a lot today but more news keeps trickling out. Now it’s Blizzard’s turn. Activision’s answer to Darth Vader, CEO Bobby Kotick, jumped in to talk about Bungie and Blizzard. Interestingly, he outlined Blizzard spending huge money on a new IP.

Activision’s year
Activision gave an earnings call today for press people to post all the wonderful news they had. However Activision were surprisingly open about their losses and wins.

True Crime: Hong Kong

South Korea has probably shut down
If you’re trying to call any friends or family based in South Korea, it’s probably a lost cause. No, Kim Jong-Il has not decided to go postal and dump nuclear explosives into his neighbours. No, an outbreak of swine flu hasn’t occured. Again. No, this time it’s something we can all enjoy. Today is the launch of Starcraft II, the… Continue »
Activision is a police state
It’s hard to believe the darling child of Activision’s game development roster has come down to a series of lawsuits, which claim that working for Activision was like working under a police state. The suit claims that Activision subjected Infinity Ward employees to secret “interrogations” and placed security guards at the office exits ahead of the termination of studio heads… Continue »
