George Takei responds to anti-gay hate (YouTube) A parody PSA that roasts the recent homophobic jackassery of some basketball player I've never heard of. Actually contains Sulu.
Topless wife photo ends man's pole protest (Yahoo News) A guy hiding at the top of a TV tower is news enough, but I'm more interested in his wife who is A) 20 years younger, B) a former stripper, and C) has borne five children for him by the age of 25. This guy should be crowned the new King of All Men.
EB downgrades Pokemon Pearl/Diamon pre-order bonuses (Pokemon Elite 2000) I'll agree they're being dicky about this, but they could offer a pre-order bonus of a kick in the junk and they'd still sell a million.
Scarface announced for Wii (Kotaku) I was iffy on Godfather on Wii, but I'm definitely intrigued by this one, if only for the 1980s soundtrack. At this stage for the Wii, getting high-profile ports is a good thing.
Looney Labs offers another exclusive Fluxx promo card (Looney Labs) You just have to buy $25 at their online store to get it. I'm not sure who this is targeted at. Casual fans really aren't going to know/care about the card (IE, that's not much of an incentive for ordering something), and you'd pretty much have to buy two games to crest the $25 level... and I'd consider their stuff rather pricy for what you get, even if the games are generally super-sweet. Longtime fans who already own all of their games are going to feel abused at having to buy more just to get this rare card. I guess you can always buy stuff as gifts. This gouging of the fanbase bugs me. Neat card though. I hope they eventually give in and sell it separately. (Full disclosure: I helped playtest the second Chrononauts game. Go buy it!)
