Wes Craven Has A New FranchisePosted by Mike D'Alonzo - Wednesday, February 13, 2008 3:12 PM
The new film will unveil a signature villain, a killer who turns up 15 years after his supposed death to kill the seven children born on that fateful night. Sounds very Craven. We were hoping his next project would be the long-awaited sequel to Shocker, but we will keep the dream alive that he will get to that next.

OneBigGame Announces BoardPosted by Stephen Johnson - Wednesday, February 13, 2008 2:34 PM
No matter how passionately you love your Xbox, PS3 and your copy of Oblivion or Lair, the companies behind these products are, at the end of the day, just making a profit. They might as well be selling plumbing supplies to the big-wigs, and your fanboy devotion equals dollars for guys in suits that cost more than your car. But not the dudes behind OneBigGame! OneBigGame are a non-profit gaming collective that seeks to raise money to solve problems afflicting children everywhere, by creating videogames through a collaborative industry-wide effort. Today they announced their board of directors:
Check out what they do and who they are.

You know how thumbdrives usually seem fragile? Well, this one is made of titanium. Not only that, but you can back up your files online so that, if you lose it, it's all, as they say, good. Take a look.

After The Strike: What's Coming Back?Posted by Mike D'Alonzo - Wednesday, February 13, 2008 1:14 PM
After months that saw us lose a ton of television entertainment and, by some analysis, over $2 billion in revenue, the Writers Strike is finally over, having been settled late last night. Now, we wait to find out when our favorite shows roll back into production, and back on screen. Luckily, we have all of the up-to-date information on those schedules. The good news? More Lost and The Office this year. The bad? Perhaps no more Scrubs ever, and we're going to have to wait another year to see a new season of 24. Peep the list. Let us know what you think.

Quitting Facebook Now EasierPosted by Brian Leahy - Wednesday, February 13, 2008 11:39 AM
It's so easy Bill Gates can do it! Well, Bill stopped using it, but his account has not been deleted. Apparently, he was getting around 8,000 friend requests a day and stumbled upon some creepy fan-sites. Previously, he had been using the site for 30 minutes a day after Microsoft invested in the social networking site. Sadly, it still isn't possible to just delete your Facebook account manually without a lot of effort. NYTimes: Quitting Facebook Gets Easier

House Passes College P2P BillPosted by Brian Leahy - Wednesday, February 13, 2008 11:09 AM
The Act calls for colleges to provide a legal alternative to P2P, presumably in something like Napster or Rhapsody, and put a plan in place for network filtering. In the true spirit of our government, the Act both makes having a filtering plan a requirement, but supposedly does nothing to punish schools that don't come up with one, though some critics believe they will lose funding. Call your Senators and tell them that this isn't cool. If you're not sure how government works, go download season 1 of The West Wing. We won't tell anyone. How do you feel about this? Do you go to college? Would you still go to college if you couldn't download music on that sweet, super-fast college connection?

All Versions of GTA4 Have MultiplayerPosted by Stephen Johnson - Wednesday, February 13, 2008 10:16 AM
In spite of a misunderstanding on the internet (courtesy of an interview on Major Nelson's podcast), Grand Theft Auto 4 will have multi-player capability on all versions. So don't flip out. "It's always something we've been open about, both versions will support online multiplayer capabilities," a Rockstar spokesperson told GamesIndustry.biz, although exact details on those capabilities have not been announced as yet. Don't flip out. Seriously. But do check out the game's trailer, and remember why you care. GamesIndustry.biz: Rockstar clarifies GTA IV speculation

Wes Craven last wrote and directed an original film script in 1994, when he did the immortal Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Well, now the horror master is hoping that scary lightning will strike twice, as he's set to direct 25/8, a script he wrote himself, which features a serial killer, but is supposed to be more a thriller than a horror film.
