Court upholds ban on Minnesota video game law
by Aaron BlueWolf72 Molloy [ Tuesday, 18th of March 2008 - 03:04 AM ]
So just to update you Minnesota attempted to get a law passed and it failed.  So they thought "hey" lets appeal and well that failed to. The Minnesota law would have imposed up to a $25 fine on minors younger than 17 caught buying or renting video games rated "M" for mature or "AO" for adults-only, under the video game industry's rating system. You would think other states and cities would pay attention to this but "this week, a committee in Massachusetts is planning to consider a bill, endorsed by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, that would--you guessed it--restrict violent video game sales to minors" source:  News.

OMFingG MMOvie...
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 17th of March 2008 - 06:09 PM ]
MMOvie: Installment 1 Ok, I know I appreciate things like this, so I though you all would as well. Probably one of the funniest Machinima shorts I have seen in a while, well at least since Red vs. Blue. It also seems to be released in the same fashion as well. This is only a ten minute chunk of what is actually going to be a full length feature film. So get your Goobers or Raisinettes. A Small drink and enjoy the first ten minutes of what looks to be an awesome film once it is fully completed. Read More…

While this is old news we are happy to say PWNED.com has made it on Yahoo Biz and we are all happy. While there is no specific paragraph about who and what we are just the fact we are mention is icing on the cake. “The depth and breadth of new coalition partners and sponsors is truly impressive,” said Hal Halpin, the association’s president. “In just over a year we have solidified an amazing list of well-established corporations, non-profits and entities that are not just seeing the potential of the ECA, but doing everything in their power to support us during our formative stages. That says quite a lot about them actually, but it also speaks volumes about game consumers and the faith that these organizations have in us collectively. Read More…
