Kedrix, author of our often alarming Dare to Play the Game series is going to like this one - Morgan Webb's new daily gaming video blog.
Not that it isn't without some controversy already, though.

Via Boing Boing - the 50 Best Movie Robots Ever. #50 - Andrew Martin, the Bicentennial Man. #1 - Terminator Series 800/Model 101. Great list, each entry has a corresponding YouTube video. Beware - this is a workday afternoon killer.

Missionaries Online, 360 Price Drop and Live Chess? - Welcome to the column that promises to abuse its readers for cash and prizes known as Dare to Play the Game.
Welcome to another edition of Dare to Play the Game. Life just keeps on rolling for me. I bowled last friday, did fairly well. I also won 4 tickets to a future astros game(8/21) as a door prize. But yet, I have nobody to take. I mean I asked "the girl" if she wants to go but she doesn't like baseball. She might end up going and that would take care of the two tickets I already had from a company event thing (8/10). But the four are something of a mystery and I'm honestly thinking that they might just go to waste. Sad, because actually those 4 are really good tickets. I'm a Phillies fan by choice so while I like baseball;watching the Astros play isn't really all that entertaining. Unless you like trainwrecks.

Yeah. Of all the portents of HD DVD's coming demise, this one - citing the Japanese porn industry's technology decision - is the least savory, though SFW on PC World. Thanks for the creepy cover art, Crunchgear.
Sony Corp. has started offering more technical support to the adult film industry in Japan, movie makers said at the Adult Treasure Expo 2007 in Chiba, Japan, and the problem of finding companies to mass produce their movies appears to be over.

Found via Boing Boing, the BBC reports:
Although most of them in the remote village of Tabaka in Kisii have never watched the animated TV show, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie have changed their lives and the new film should see demand for their work soar they hope. [from the BBC]

Via Techmeme this AM: Target to go Blu-ray only for players.
My take? Upscaling DVD is carrying me until widely available broadband downloads make "formats" pointless. That being said, certainly HD DVD looks to be on the ropes, with "free disc" ploys being a sign of desperation, and Blu-ray actively locking down channel partners. I'm willing to bet that Blu-ray will take this battle and keep Sony solvent for a few more years.
