Saturday Link Round up!

Instead of creating some actual content, I'm just going to link to other articles that I thought were cool.  That way I don't need to ever even produce anything.

DirecTV Contractor Demands Tip Before Starting Work, Storms Out When Faced With A Table
Whenever I read this title, I burst out laughing. The story really is that funny. Next time someone comes to your house, make sure to remove all your tables!!

Ticketmaster Charges 168% Of 3 Doors Down Ticket Price In Fees
Ticketmaster Always makes me really angry. It's not like I'm cheap or anything, it's just that I'd prefer it if they'd tell me what exactly the price is. I don't mind paying 3 thousand dollars for a concert ticket. (If that seems like a reasonable price.) Just tell me the price up front! Don't say the ticket is only $5 and then $2995 service fees!

In this case they're complaining that the ticket price is $5 and then the Ticket Master Fees make the ticket much more expensive. A little bit sly, isn't it?

Alone in the Dark Delayed Until June | Game | Life from Wired.com

Sadness. I'm really looking forward to this game, but I realise that delays happen all the time. I'd rather the game was delayed for a very long time. If it meant that the game was very polished. The tech demo looks promising. I look forward Alone in the Dark. It looks very innovative (contrary to most EA titles) June isn't that far away anyway, and it's probably right around the time of year when I'll be looking for something to play.

Doctors never seem to be able to decide on what is and isn't healthy. The common myth that you needed to drink 8 glasses a day and the myth that Coffee is unhealthy for you have both been disproved.  I hope that one day the doctors will be able to decide what is and isn't healthy.


Evangelion is really cool. Wired takes a look back at the trends the series has caused.  They recently released a remake movie in japan.  I can't wait to see it hit state side.

DVICE: Cup PC concept is a bit too high-tech Hi-tech coffee cup. You spill it onto the table to get your display. You pour it into another person's cup to exchange data. I want one. Too bad It's probably impossible with today's technology.

This interview with Ken Levine talks about System Shock 2 and how it was made. Apparently SS2 would have been pretty much exactly the same game without the SS licence. Atleast it wouldn't be a complete and utter rip off of about 7 other games like BioShock is.

That's all I have for today.  Hopefully it can tide everyone over until I find some real content to post.
