Shameless Shilling

Right now Amazon has a buy two platinum hits titles, get one free promotion running. Lots of good titles in there, so you might want to jump on this before it expires.

Entertainment

Bill Murray decides the fate of Peter Venkman in GHOSTBUSTERS 3. Big spoiler here, if it's true.

ABC picks up Chiklis-Driven superhero pilot. He was 1/2 of the only good thing about FANTASTIC FOUR (along with Chris Evans' Human Torch) and THE SHIELD was awesome. I'll give this a shot.

Six reasons why '24' has jumped the you-know-what. Season 5 was 24's peak. I'm not even sure why I'm still watching.

LOST's Daniel Dae Kim tapped for HAWAII 5-0 remake. Ugh. Another remake. Still, the one of the busiest guys in show biz needed another project when LOST ends.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton to star in THE THING. As decent an actress and as hot as Mary Elizabeth Winstead is, I still have no desire to see a prequel to one of the best movies of all time.

Captain America as USO song-and-dance man?. Wow, that sounds awful.

Video Games: Bioshock 2

1Up's BIOSHOCK 2 review

Destructoid's review: BIOSHOCK 2

Joystiq's review: BIOSHOCK 2 (single player)

Kotaku: BIOSHOCK 2 Review: In Case Of Rapture

Destructoid interview: The music of BIOSHOCK 2. I loved the soundtrack to the first game. Along with FALLOUT 3's soundtrack, it's been in constant rotation in my playlist on my computer. I definitely need to get the sequel's soundtrack.

BIOSHOCK 2 director talks about moral choice in games.

BIOSHOCK 2 Xbox 360 vs. PS3 - screenshot comparison. They look about the same to me. In one or two of the shots, the PS3 even looks slightly, just slightly, better.

2K on BioShock 2 ending leak: It 'won't make much sense'. I'm trying to avoid spoilers. If I was able to resist the temptation to download the leaked PC version today to tide me over until my PS3 disc arrives, then I can avoid spoilers.

Video Games

2K Marin says console wars “silly,” waste creativity. I agree with that. I'm happy with both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS to have wittier writing. Sounds good to me.

ALPHA PROTOCOL delayed again, this time with reasoning. Another game I've given up on waiting for. Hopefully I can muster some enthusiasm when/if it eventually comes out.

Tar Pit Time

Porn companies launch anti-piracy program. I'm honestly curious, is there anybody left who is willing to pay for porn in the 21st century? There's so much and all for free out there. Is that industry holding on to the few dinosaurs left willing to pay $30-40 (or more) for a DVD to maintain their old business model?
