Entertainment

Greg Daniels on the future of THE OFFICE. Sounds like they plan on stretching it out well beyond its natural lifespan. (Something, quite honestly, they've probably already done.) One of the smartest things Ricky Gervais did with the original was ending it before it became tired. Meanwhile the US version has become an over the top cartoon.

4 ways FREE ENTERPRISE 2 will be The Wrath of Shatner. After a decade of waiting I gave up on a sequel. I love FREE ENTERPRISE though.

Not really my definition of entertainment, but... What Reality Stars Make: Kristin Cavallari’s $90,000 per episode on THE HILLS more than Spencer Pratt’s $65,000, but Audrina makes $100,000. I don't care about THE HILLS in the slightest, aside from the girls being a bit of eye candy when I pass by news stories about them on the web. But when I skimmed past this headline in Google Reader, I almost threw up a little. It's shocking how much money you can make being an overly entitled, self-absorbed douchebag. Blech.

Video Games

SPLINTER CELL CONVICTION IMPRESSIONS: More panther, less grandma. A bit of hands on time with the upcoming SC game. Still can't wait.


SUPER STREET FIGHTER IV is real and isn't downloadable content Eight new fighters will be added. Milking that franchise... it's just like the 90s all over again!

No MODERN WARFARE 2 demo for you. I doubt a demo would have much of an effect on sales for this one anyway, do you?

All about RESIDENT EVIL 5: ALTERNATIVE EDITION. You get an entire new mission, playable as Jill. Damn. I wasn't going to get this. Maybe if I do cave, I'll get it for the PS3 since I have the original RE5 for the 360.
