Punishing gamers for in-game acts of violence.

In germany, lawmakers are attempting to pass a bill that would jail folks (in the real world) for acts of violence committed in games.

I bet Jack Thompson masturbated furiously when he heard about this story.

Thursday Amazon deals -- digital camera, watches, etc.

Not much new today (and as Chanukah hits on Friday, with Christmas only eleven days away and coming on the far end of a weekend, there really are only a few days left or order stuff online and expect it to arrive with room to spare; I'd imagine that Amazon's probably going to stop the great deals as of the beginning of next week).

Today's the last day of the Kitchen Sale. Lots of amazing stuff at 50% off and more from pretty much all kitchen and home categories.

Amazon's Perfume sale, with the new special being a bottle of Shi by Albert Sung (I'm assuming that Billy Tucci does not endorse this product).

The sports 50%+ off sale is still running, as well.

A fourth mega-sale is the "best prices ever" sale on watches and jewelry. This one includes lots of themed stuff (Harry Potter watches for kids and adults), as well as more traditional ones. This includes the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Flip Top Watch for $12.99 (71% off).

The deal of the day is the Fujifilm Finepix V10 5.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4X Optical Zoom going for $139.95 (53% off) until midnight.

In electronics, the Universal Remote URC300 15-Device Controller is back down to 53.99 (68% off).

And finally, for Windows, the Sims 2 Holiday Edition is $19.99 (50% off).

Amanda Congdon's back!

Amanda's back with a new videoblog!

This is as much a reminder that I need to listen to it at home, since sound's kind of important.

Anyone happen to find an RSS feed for this?

Aargh!

At first, I thought that the folks at TV Shows on DVD were morons. Then I realized that it's whoever released the press images (which sure as hell had better be fixed before the DVD is released) who haven't actually watched the show they're hyping.

(For those wondering, it's "Brother Blood," not "Blood Brother." If the Titans fight half of the title characters of a crappy musical by Wiley Russell, the copy would be correct. But they didn't, so it's not.)

So, just how sour are those grapes over at Rocketboom, anyway?

Hooray for Ennio

Ennio Morricone is getting the honorary Oscar next year!
