They didn’t say it like that, but it’s basically what they’re trying to say. Some copies of Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 shipped with a serial number which was missing a character (19 instead of the 20 required) due to a printing error. EA’s response (and I’m not making this up):

There is currently a work around that may allow you to bypass this issue. Since you have the first 19 characters of the code already, you can basically try “guessing” the last character. To do this, simply enter your existing code, and then for the last character, try the letters A-Z, and then the numbers 0-9. You should eventually get the right combination, and be able to play the game. If this does not work, you can follow the instructions below.

Wow great work around. Click here for the official explanation at one of EA’s site, or see below for a screen shot (to preserve it forever):

I’m not a fan of basketball (at all) but Riz posted a comment about his favorite player, Gilbert Arenas. In the post he explained that Gilbert sponsored a videogame team. Interesting enough for me to do a bit of research. As it turns out he’s a big fan of Halo, and sponsors a clan team called Team Final Boss.

You can read more about him at Wikipedia.

Probably one of the most disturbing comic books the world has ever seen, but being based on the popular shoot ‘em up video game DooM that’s no surprise.

I don’t want to spoil it, it’s something you’ll have to experience yourself here or here [mirror], though if you’ve never played the videogame you’ll certainly be disturbed. My favorite quote:

Now I’m radioactive! That can’t be good! … Why can’t we find a way to safely dispose of radioacive waste and protect the environment?

It’s just so random when you consider everything that’s going on.

Please sign this petition for a worthy cause, to save the memory of video games from being destroyed by horrible movie renditions. I quote from If It’s Movies:

Uwe Boll, one of the worst filmmakers in the world, has given the world an opportunity of a lifetime. Boll said he would retire from making movies if enough people signed this petition asking that he stop. So far, there are 18,000 signatures on the petition, and this is what Boll had to say in response:

“18,000 is not enough to convince me.” “One million. Now we have a new goal.”

I signed it, it’s interesting to refresh the list of signatures, at this rate it seems to be about one signature every three four seconds.. but a million? Click here to sign.
