Urine Stream Racing Game Banned In BelgiumPosted by Matthew Bretz - Monday, November 05, 2007 3:25 PM
Well, it took a few months, but Belgian police have cracked down on this Galileo of the gaming age, banning a version of the game entitled Place To Pee from the GamePower Expo in Gent, Belgium. It seems the Flemish flatfoots consider the game, which allows players to control the direction of their on-screen cars by aiming their streams of liquid waste at a censor placed in a urinal, an “indecency offense.”

Wired Connects Terrorism with 'Halo 3'Posted by Brian Leahy - Monday, November 05, 2007 2:40 PM
Clive Thompson has had an epiphany on why people become terrorists: when faced up against a deadly force that you have no way of defeating (in Halo 3), you turn to suicide bombing. Wait? What? "I do not mean, of course, to trivialize the ghastly, horrific impact of real-life suicide bombing. Nor do I mean to gloss over the incredible complexity of the real-life personal, geopolitical and spiritual reasons why suicide bombers are willing to kill themselves. These are all impossibly more nuanced and perverse than what's happening inside a trifling, low-stakes videogame."

Rodriguez On 'Clash Of The Titans?'Posted by Mike D'Alonzo - Monday, November 05, 2007 1:45 |
Popular and controversial bittorrent tracking site The Pirate Bay is trying its cyber-hand at promoting bands for a change…instead of ripping them off.
Back in August, when 
Purple-obsessed pop star Prince is being attacked by his cyber-minded fans.
Well, ZeniMax Media and Bethesda Softworks are rumored to be hashing out an Elder Scrolls MMORPG. The rumor mill got a-turning after someone noticed the URL for elderscrollsonline.com was registered by ZeniMax very recently. This doesn’t mean much really. I mean, just yesterday TheFeed bought AlamoMMOonline.net just so that we could say we had it.
According to the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, college students that mix alcohol with caffeinated energy drinks are at higher risk for alcohol-related injuries than students who…er, don’t drink that crap.
Hip hop label Stones Throw Records is launching its third annual 2K Sports Holiday Bounce Tour, co-sponsored by VTech Phones.
