Across the Ist-a-Verse
Yo, Philly in the News

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.
- Game|Life takes a look at the pros and cons of purchasing the cheapest model of PS3 - the 20GB one.
- Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law has had its release delayed to January 2008.
- This was already a rumor, but now it's been strengthened by an anonymous source: the MMO that Bioware is working on now is supposedly set in the Knights of the Old Republic universe.
- Disappointing news about Rock Band: the World Tour or adventure mode of the game won't be playable online, which means you'll have to have a bunch of friends come over every time you want to do that part of the game.
- Check it out - a vest that lets you feel the hits your video game character is taking.
- Wired had the clever idea of publishing an informational manga to accompany their article about the sudden rise in popularity of Japanese manga in America. You can read it online, or download the pdf. The full article is here. (Via)
- Our favorites out of Warren Ellis' list of fun links today: the theoretical possibilities of an electromagnetic wormhole that would cloak things passing into it, and a detector made of carbon nanotubes a few atoms across that has already been used in a working radio - the tiniest radio in the world.
- They've already made a bunch of terrible sequels and prequels, but now they want to go back and do a remake of The Exorcist. Ugh.
- On Friday, only a day before shooting was to begin in Pennsylvania, Ryan Gosling was replaced by Mark Wahlberg in the cast of Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Lovely Bones. Apparently the change was due to the old favorite: creative differences. Gosling had already grown a beard and gained 20 pounds for the role.
- Joystiq has put together an impressive collection of Daily Show clips with a video game theme.
- Skip about a quarter of the way through the video on this page and you'll see some video from Will Wright's guest appearance as himself in The Simpsons Game.
- Soon, MySpace pages will have the potential to be even more busy and overloaded, when MySpace Games is launched in 2008, allowing users to embed casual games into their profiles. Joy!
- Joystiq has a couple more fun game play videos from the upcoming Bionic Commando game, featuring the titular character doing all kinds of interesting things with that crazy arm of his.
- Cool - Anthony Hopkins will indeed be playing Alfred Hitchcock in the upcoming biopic.
- Nick Cassavetes' mom, Gena Rowlands, says her son might direct Captain America.
- Jewel Staite (whom you might know better as Kaylee) says although it could conceivably happen at some point in the distant future, Serenity 2 is definitely not being made right now, despite any rumors you might have heard to the contrary. Sigh.
- Heelys is making a Gamer shoe that looks like an Xbox controller. It doesn't actually work like one, however, although it will come packaged with four free video games.
- Download and print a free Halloween mask right here. (Via)
- A Ferrari Segway?! That's like pimping out your pocket protector.

The Ferrari Segway is no faster than the regular one. I think the NYPD Segway is much better looking.
