Command and Conquer 4 "Name The Game" contest goes live - (USA)
Filed under: Contests , RTS With the recent official reveal of Command and Conquer 4 , many folks wondered why the folks at Electronic Arts haven't picked a sub-title for the sci-fi RTS game. Well, it's because they are waiting to hear from fans on what they want to have as the sub-title for the fourth game in the series. EA has launched their official contest web site where fans are asked to submit their suggestions for the subtitle. Keep in mind that the first three games in th

Spells & Kisses - (USA)
Holy cow, is this not the most amazing cover ever! Seriously Nalini Singh must have bribed the right gods or something because the cover for Archangels’ Kiss is simply phenomenal. Nalini Singh posted it last night and I am not the only one who is going nuts over it. This is the second Guild Hunters novel and we have to wait until February 2010 before we can get our hands on it. Also, SciFiGuy found the cover for the upcoming Tempted by PC & Kristen Cast, which is due out October

Massacred - (USA)
“Brouhaha” is a nonsensical word used to describe nonsense. In the case of Carlo J. Caparas (and, by extension, Cecile Guidote-Alvarez), that word is fairly adequate. Let’s consider these interesting bullet-points first: Caparas’ defense: In a GMA-7 News report , Caparas says that he “deserves” the honor of the National Artist distinction. Caparas, in an attempt to massacre the allegations that he does not deserve the accolade, likened his victory to a political one. Apologia from

It’s a dog eat dog world in Mesa - (USA)
Let me be clear that I am typically not a very big fan of PR gimmicks. For the most part, if you have real news to share journalists will respond based on the merits of the story. That being said, if your news is…shall we say…a little soft…a sense of humor can go a long way. Enter Dave Wilson, Downtown Mesa Association, who yesterday sent the following press release to area reporters, followed five minutes later by another by way of explanation: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Woof woof bow wow arf

Metro, Teens, Rhee, and Me - (USA)
There's really nothing more entertaining in the world than sitting behind teenage girls on the Metro. At least, so long as they're talking, as opposed to giggling. Giggling teenage girls are a plague. You think you've escaped it once you graduate high school, but what you don't realize is that there will always be giggling teenage girls. (And I don't necessarily mean giggling at you, either, just giggling in general. Because apparently, when you're a teenage girl, there's very little in life tha
