1:54pm: Latest from the Console Wars: Nintendo is ruining the gaming industry
So the news is, because of the Nintendo Wii's phenomenal success, especially in Japan, (where it's been outselling the PS3 by at least 6:1), many developers in Japan are reporting to be "shifting their focus away from the PS3 and over to the Wii".

This news sparks a 17 page (and growing) thread over on the Gaming Age Forums (NeoGAF), with:

Sony and Xbox fans bemoaning the fate and apparent death of HD Gaming at the hands of Nintendo; and Nintendo fans very happy at this news, and lol-ing at the "bitter tears" of the Sony and Xbox fan-moaning.

10:18pm: Blizzard is like Hitler!!1!one!
Blizzard decided, a while back, that it was time for a worldwide World of Warcraft championship, 5v5 arena style.  And lo, there were high-ranked teams, of which "Pandemic" was one. They were going to be going in with two healers (Nathan 'Kintt' Quinn and Jared 'Vhell' Coulston) (...it is me, or does that style of name-referencing seem ridiculous?), because ... well, tht's just how they roll. 

But then, a complication!  Blizzard decided to check to make sure that each player's listed name matched the name on the account.  Why, you ask?  Well, the Terms of Service do state that the names have to match.*  And lo!  People on 5 of the 8 qualifying teams  got disqualified, including the above-listed Kintt and Vhell.  And lo, Blizzard disqualified those players from the tournament.
