I'm having one of those nights where I'm finding it hard to get anything done. The work is piling up around me and I can't even work up the motivation to procrastinate. You know what helps me get through those times?
Damn. I was hoping you'd have the answer because I don't have a freaking clue.
Anyway, some stuff happened over the weekend that we didn't talk about. I know, I know. We promised that we'd never keep secrets from each other, but we just didn't think these things would be important to you. Maybe we were wrong. Let's find out, shall we?
- Plot details for Stuart Beattie's Halo screenplay have come to light. Sounds a fair bit like Ender's Game for kids without intellectual aspirations to me. [Kotaku]
- Maligned Star Wars Galaxies developer, Jeff Freeman, committed suicide late last week. I'm not going to make a Star Wars joke. Condolences to his family don't jive well with force-related humor. [GamePolitics]
- GTA-styled MMO, APB, has moved into the "closed internal beta" phase of development. [Edge]
- Now that they've failed to acquire Take-Two, is Epic the next target of EA? I would expect yearly Unreal Tournament releases if that's the case. [GameGuru]

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
