Apart from e-mails asking for advice on offing yourself, we tend to get a variety of work-related anecdotage posted to the old inbox. Today we received one such story. It's a long, detailed account of an affront to the dignity of CBS News employees. It seems unbalanced at first, but as it wends toward its inevitable conclusion, it achieves a certain kind of poetry. Should you be wary of the length, or unable to click on the jump, we'll give you the quick summary: There's some doody on the wall in the men's room, and it's been there for a long, long time. Admit it, now you can't resist.
Penny Arcade's Gabe writes: "I guess some guy at IGN is mad at me and he lays into me on their podcast. [...] Basically some IGN guy is super pissed because I said I didn't agree with the bad reviews of Assassin's Creed. I'm actually of the opinion that if we're pissing off IGN we must be doing something right.
Honestly my main concern was to make sure people didn't avoid the game based on some of the poor reviews."
"The IGN thing is just sort of silly. He says I should leave reviewers alone because I 'just do things and write things as a freaking comic artist.' I'm not sure how to respond to that. I think he's trying to insult me but everything he said there is true.
The sad thing is I wasn't even talking about their review. I was talking about the 7.0 from 1UP. No one actually pays any attention to IGN or their 7-10 review scale."
No, this isn't even about the perpetual Friedman Unit or his idiotic perspective on the economy. This is about what he thinks the NYT should be hiring.
Tom, you ignorant slut, most of those people BARELY read one dead tree newspaper. I will bet, however, 30%+ of that group have over a hundred RSS feeds they mow through daily.
The fact is, the newspaper biz can be interesting. Remember Django came out of a newspaper IT group. However, the idea that anyone who isn't part of that cliquish, clueless, pundit set actually reads more than one chunk of dead tree a day is laughable on its face.
That, Mr Friedman, is why nobody wants to work for your clueless organization.
Alright, so not only did Heidi and Spencer elope in Mexico, but The Hills producers were there to capture their very "private" wedding. Ugh, they make me sick. I knew they had something up their sleeve.
MTV News reached out to Liz Gateley, the executive producer of The Hills, and she said, "MTV is currently filming Heidi and Spencer in Mexico, as we were expecting to capture them on vacation...Fans will be able to see the exclusive footage from the ceremony in an upcoming episode, and we will continue to follow the newlyweds' relationship as it plays out in real life."
Some people will do anything for attention or to make a quick buck. I'm sure they'll try to get MTV to spin it off so they can have their own version of The Newlyweds. Sorry to break the news Heidi and Spencer, but you're no Jessica and Nick. At least Jessica and Nick had careers separate from their reality show. Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy Marriage Heidi and Spencer, sheesh.

Apple's joining in the Black Friday festivities, giving you savings on iPods, Macs and more. You can get $21 off an iPod nano (except for those newfangled [RED] ones), and the iPod with video is $31 less than they were yesterday and will be tomorrow. They've knocked off $50 from that lame iPod hi-fi speaker system, and MacBooks, iMacs and lots of other items are marked down, too. The site says these deals are for today only. – Charlie White

Hey, pal -- remember that 160GB PS3 Drake's Fortune bundle we told you about back in August? Well thanks to the totally awesome skills of one intrepid reader, we now know that they're available for purchasing pleasure at your local Best Buy (and other spots, we like to imagine). From what we can tell based on that extremely blurry photo you see, the package will sell for a holiday-destroying $499.99, so you'd better hope grandma drops a big check on you this season.

Eurogamer has made an interview with Epic Games Vice President Mark Rein.
Eurogamer: Alright. Let's talk about the game for a bit. (Noise of clunking levers, screeching tracks, screaming passengers.) Previously Epic always seemed eager to cram loads of new, experimental ideas into the UT games, while UT3 seems a lot narrower in scope. Why?
Mark Rein: We wanted to simplify the game a little bit and concentrate on the really popular modes. Obviously Onslaught was the most popular mode in Unreal Tournament 2004 so we wanted to make sure we improved that quite a bit with this new Warfare gametype, and that meant not having as many crazy gametypes as we had before. And hey, the mod guys are gonna fill in any holes, trust me. They're gonna do amazing stuff with this game.

A behind the scenes look at the testing of a realistic pair of hamsters driving a little red sportscar. These particular hamsters were made right here in Simi Valley, CA by Animal Makers, Inc for a Phillips Battery commercial. The car had to be modified to run completely on the Phillips Batteries they were advertising and then the hamsters were created. Add a remote control and off we go. You can see the finished commercial at http://videogallery.animalmakers.com. We have been creating animal replicas since 1980 for a wide variety of movies, television shows and commercials. Call us at 805-527-6200 if you want one made for your next project. Ranked 3.59 / 5 | 200 views | No comments

Gamasutra reports that Dell-owned Alienware is going to be offering Phantom lapboards with their media center PC line. The product, which against all odds does appear to be shipping, is intended to offer a mouse and keyboard experience to someone not sitting at a desk. From the article: "The Lapboard includes wireless technology, ergonomic design, one-touch features, and a wireless high definition 1200 dpi laser mouse. In addition, the device also rotates for left and right handed users and inclines on a 22 degree angle with a hard surface support for the Phantom mouse. Other features include an interchangeable key-face that is designed for game-specific and business software applications on PC and Mac platforms."
Nintendo gaming guru Shigeru Miyamoto and his top designers had a heck of a time making Wii Music, and he admits that they didn't quite nail it. Now Nintendo is having a difficult time selling the somewhat inscrutable Wii Music to gamers hooked on Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

Panasonic's new DMP-BD30 Blu-ray player serves up those HD discs extra fancy, being the first player to meet the requirements for
BD-Video Final Standard Profile 1.1. That means a secondary video decoder for picture in picture (such as director's commentary), and an extra audio decoder for working in sound from that second source or from interactive features. Other features of the $500 player include Deep Color Compatibility, HDMI 1.3B, 1080 / 24p playback, and an SD card slot that can play back 1080p AVCHD video from SD cards. We're not exactly sure when the DMP-BD30 is hitting the streets, but it seems poised to steal the
delayed Samsung BD-UP5000's thunder.
