Random News for Aug. 28 ‘07

  • I’m back at NJIT.
  • My copy of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is not going to be delivered today from Amazon…. :-( Let me know if you can find it online somewhere because I have a week to burn before school actually starts, and I don’t want it to come on the first day of classes, which is Sept. 5th.
  • I’m throughly enjoying Bioshock on the PC via Steam, but for those of you not in the fray already, check out the Bioshock Preparation Program!
  • Greece has a Disco Inferno on its hands, and it can be seen from space. Cool pics, but I hope no one has gotten hurt thus far….
  • Important cargo is going onto Discovery. Star Wars fans will have a mini orgaism. Chewie, stormtroopers, and other Star Wars characters will be on hand to make sure the artifact is safe. Read the article for info on the “trek.” :-)
  • Today’s Woot are these, but I don’t get it. I don’t game for that long, and it’s very rare that I have intense gaming moments. Oh well — I guess I’m not in the extreme gamer’s market/group.
  • Monster’s ripping people off again. Just don’t do it people.
  • China’s got 181 miners trapped in a flooded mine. What does the US do? Hardly report on it. What do they do when 6 of their own are trapped? Report the hell out of it. 6 VS 181, hmmm…which is the greater loss of human life? If we go by media standards, I’d say 6. The comments on digg — which is where I originally heard about the story a couple of days ago — has some funny/sad comments.

Blue “Drag”-on?
