Scraps

Been a while, hasn't it? Well, I'd like to blame that fact on how exceptional our news coverage has been of late. And that's exactly what I'm going to do. Why, there's been nary a thing to put in one of these posts for weeks now. Rest assured, it has absolutely nothing to do with me being a lazy git.

Nope. No relationship whatsoever. Here are some bonus stories for you.

  • Rare will be giving Viva Piñata fans a gift this holiday season, in the form of a jukebox item for their gardens. [1Up]
  • Here's an interesting report on how the Department of Homeland Security performed its investigation into a Texas modchip distribution company. Remember, kids, if you buy modchips, terrorism has obviously won. [GamePolitics]
  • Is the LittleBigPlanet slogan "Fun shall overcome" worthy of in-depth analysis? Maybe not, but that won't stop the internet from attempting. [Overthinking It]
  • Mod tools are out for the PC version of Call of Duty: World at War. [CVG]

I personally think 'fun shall overcome' is a really cute slogan (as well as a cute commercial, makes me smile every time). The article makes some sort of statement about 'fun shall overcome' being a rip off of 'we shall overcome', but aren't most slogans just rip offs and over used? Well, Overthinking It definitely deserves their name.

Who, seriously, would take time out to be offended by LBP. Utter ridiculousness...

Wow. Special Agent Vaughn N. Johnson wrote up a pretty awesome seizure warrant. Anyone else read that beast? I'm actually afraid of the government again.
