WTF is that.

Mortal Kombat fan-trailer to become mini-series Warner Bros. is backing

That's like finding out a Reddit poster has just been signed to write a series of novels (on the basis of their posts about libertarian weed cats).  Awesome.

Slow news day. That's the only update I have for now.  Will check back later.

Yoda thanks for the clarification on Rockband story (I assume you fixed the story).  That's much better news.  I thought they were dropping the DLC entirely, which would have been big news.  Dropping the self-promoted shit -- who cares? Apprently no one who has a Wii and Rockband.

Professor Layton to Random Villager: "Could you please tell me how to get to the Countesses' Mansion. There's been a murder and I need to gather clues."

Random Villager: "Only if you solve this puzzle! Three men walk 28 miles apiece. One is six-foot-two. One is five-foot-nine. The last is 5-foot-eleven.  They all roughly have the same size feet. Each of them is carrying a small penguin. If they each stop in the same village to make a puppy out of match-sticks, and one is chosen to get three baby chickens across a river, how many times does the penguin need to be shaken before it gives birth to an emperor?"

Professor Layton: "You know what? I've had just about enough of this shit!"

For some reason, I saw that picture as being MGS3/PW-era Big Boss than Layton. Though that would be fucking amazing, Big Boss in a Layton game.

Didn't Nier launch at $30? 360 version is $15 on amazon. Same for Lost Planet 2. $20 for KoF.

Nevermind, just saw that Canadian flag.

Homeland Security called Yoda -- You've been deported.

Are you using opera turbo or some other kind of proxy?  That could be why.

I wonder if you have a weird IP address (or that your new ISP has aweird block).  You can find your IP easily here:

Ravenprose said:

That site is reading my IP address and location correctly, aspro. Doesn't appear to be any kind of block.

Oh no, I didn't mean it like that.  "Block" is the collective noun for IP addresses.  A pod of whales, a den of lions, a murder of crows, a block of IP's.  I am assuming Yoda is using something that determines region based on IP.
