Hello Gerbils!! Sit down and prepare for the next installment of very old gossip.
Dateline Battlefield 2:
Delay? Who said finical reports aren't fun? The DICE Financial Report reveals a new release date for Battlefield 2, suggesting June 2005 as the release date. Additionally it looks like you can expect an upgrade to BF: Vietnam this Spring:
Amazon.com confirms the released on June 30, 2005. ARGGGGG
Dateline Just Shoot Me NOW!
In the past few weeks the idiots at OLG-Anon have gotten press - GameSot, Slashdot, the BBC and soon NBC DateLine are all jumping on the bandwagon. You would think that we have an "epidemic" on our hands. After all video game publishers hire designers with degrees in psychology to make games addictive, or more fun, I forget. NEED MORE WOW. Is this a bad thing? After all Sitcom's have been doing this for years.
I am not saying that OLG-Anon do not have a purpose. Many things in this world can be "addictive." Pornography, sex, shopping, gambling; did I mention P0rn? We can all empathize with the poor mother that has lost a son. The devastation would be life long so lets keep this from happening. Keep games in perspective, get real friends, and keep in touch with the real world. The line between enjoying an activity, loving an activity, and being obsessed to the point of addiction is never a clear one. Let others help.
Oh, and TC, we're here for you man!!!
Dateline Entertainment:
OK I admit it. I watched the Oscar telecast. I was hoping Chris Rock was going to kill. I so wanted him to come out and be the "Bring the Pain" Chris Rock. Instead I might as well have been asleep. Here are the highlights if you missed the show:
ummm, OK there were no highlights except maybe Chris Rock's line "I know you really like our next four presenters, Ladies and Gentleman, Penelope Cruise and Selma Hayek"
Or maybe Absinthe makes anything bearable.
John Stewart Plays FPS, No really. Thursday night he had "The Rock" on his show and he stated they just finished shooting DOOM with Rock as Space Marine. They even mentioned the BFG. And Stewart was as giddy as a little schoolgirl. He was jumping around the set like, well like a gamer. As an aside some of the characters in the movie, Dr. Carmack and the Dr. Willits; are named for id Softwares John Carmack and Tim Willits, respectively. And, if you don't know who they are, please turn in your TWL ID.
Dateline Business:
Troika Closure (do I care?) never got into the Vampire thing but the developers of Vampire: Bloodlines is no more.
News Corp to buy Eidos it has been confirmed that the company is sold to Rupert Murdoch's media empire News Corporation. Maybe now we can get some good games out of them.
Ubisoft's future on the line as EA refuses to rule out acquisition. I can only shake my head. The support of both companied are atrocious .
Again? Electronic Arts hit with lawsuit on Overtime at least second such case against bay area video game taking advantage of it's employees in order to keep their shareholders and themselves happy. Is this a shock to anyone?
And as an aside this is truly funny. McDonald's Bathroom Attendant.

The phpBB Group has release versions 2.0.12 of phpBB, indicating the resolution of a few "potential security bugs". How to upgrade. Downloads
Why a new PHP, Oh I guess the new variant of the phpworm that has started to spread has something to do with it. Per SANS.org it appears that current antivirus vendors do not recognize this variant.
DateLine Opposite Sex
Lycos Inc. is making it easier for lonely hearts to find their soulmates online. The company is launching a search engine that only indexes dating Web sites, (listen up SweetTooth) giving users links to personal profiles found at iMatchup.com Inc., LoveAccess.com Inc., Tickle Inc., True.com and Lycos' own Matchmaker.com.
In keeping with our Love theme here, some of our TWL AA Friends have honored their undying love of a teammate in a "Two Thumbs Up" movie. The acting is great and the butt shots are HOT.
Lastly for those old enough to appreciate them, India have come up with a new tool on the dating front. Musical Condoms. Oh Yes they DID. Oh NO they di'nt. It appears that different lovemaking positions determine what tune is played by the condom, which also works like a normal contraceptive. The rubber has tiny sensors connected to a mini electronic device that produces the sounds.
Dear Doctor,
Why do I keep hearing the theme to "Deliverance" every time I make love to my cousin?
Signed,
Lonely in Lubbock
