Legendary TV news anchor Walter Cronkite dies. Pretty much before my time, and I'm old.

Entertainment

Movie studios try to harness "Twitter effect". Finding out a movie is an absolute turd is even faster now than ever before. I bet the movie studios thought it was bad when people who blog bad reviews, well now people are microblogging and that takes zero time or effort. The studios used to like it when it took word of mouth about bad movies that they knowingly put out to reach potential audiences. Usually they made their money back before word got around to save the time and money.

Could LOST's final season pull a BATTLESTAR GALACTICA? Oh god, I hope not. If LOST's ending is crap like BATTLESTAR GALACTICA's or the SOPRANOS', then I've lost all faith in television.

Star Trek DVD/Blu-Ray Details Revealed. That's my mom's birthday and the day before my own birthday. So, I guess I know what I'll be getting!

Video Games

BIOSHOCK designer's new project "more ambitious" than BIOSHOCK. If it's of the same quality as BIOSHOCK, then I'm sold.

Night vision goggles in MODERN WARFARE 2 are 'a bad idea'. Yeah, some idiot will most likely do something stupid with them, and the game (and games in general) will get blamed.

SAINTS ROW PSP apparently confirmed by...Swedish metal band. Cool, something I want to buy for the PSP along with the METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER, the RESIDENT EVIL title (wasn't there one announced, or am I just mental?), and GTA: CHINATOWN WARS.
