Stories

  • Netflix is splitting the DVD service from the streaming service, calling the former Qwikster.
  • The app store's most popular app of the week was Hair Plucker, a game where you slowly remove errant hairs from women's bodies.
  • Gears of War 3 ads in the UK display the current number of players logged in at that moment.
  • Xenoblade Chronicles is selling very well in the UK, but apparently Nintendo can't justify releasing in North America.
  • Ninja Gaiden 3 to include an easy mode called "Hero Mode."
  • Justin McElroy shares his thoughts on three recent developments at Sony.

Coming Up

Dead Space 3 has been accidentally spoiled. What's worse than necromorph babies? My money is on kitties that have been turned inside out and filled with teeth.

Trivia

  • The Qwikster decision was reversed by Netflix in early October 2011. It was remarked on in Uncharted Charted.
  • Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii was finally released in North America on April 6, 2012.
