Video Games I love this article. Tim Schafer encourages us to "run with our stupid ideas," because those are often the best ones. What's your "stupid idea" for a video game. Me? I want to ride around on an awesome dragon and breathe fire on Nazi tanks in order to turn the tide of WWII. And there would be leveling up and resource management.

Sigh. You can put awesome armor on your avatar, but it's still going to look cute and non-threatening. When everything has to be all-ages friendly, the adults end up with childish crap.

Video Games Remember when I showed you the coolest video game shirt around (http://tr.im/so3y)? Well here are the ugliest video game shirts I've ever seen. I think the ugliest is the one with master chief shooting his way into a pink fractal-esque pattern. Which do you think is the worst?

Video Games Sam Raimi is going to direct a World of Warcraft film. Now I have nothing against Sam Raimi, but I don't know...my first instinct is that it's going to be worse than that old Street Fighter movie. I'm terrified to hear who they're casting. Does anyone have high expectations for this?

Video Games Sony bans this guy from their entire PlayStation Network, and now he's suing because Sony has denied him freedom of speech...as pain and suffering - he's agoraphobic and apparently PSN is his only social outlet. They don't mention what he was saying, but I'm guessing it was pretty bad to get him entirely banned. What's the most audacious lawsuit you've ever heard about?

Video Games Some guy robbed the eve online bank of money people worked hard for (he took 8% of the game's currency), sold it for $5000 real money, and won't get punished for it. He got kicked out of the game, but I think stealing is stealing, and he should have to give the money back. What do you think?

Video Games While I do think buying gold or virtual items for MMO's on the black market is cheating, I don't think it's unethical. But China has just outlawed trading real money for virtual items, which makes gold farming illegal (as well as a crazy amount of other things, like buying pre-paid gaming subscriptions, or any type of horse armor). Do you think this law is going to last?
