As you may have noticed, it's the festival season, and Baltimore's Wham City just couldn't be left out of the summer fun. This weekend the zany art collective hosted the Whartscape festival, featuring the likes of the Dirty Projectors, Beach House, Spank Rock, Cex, Videohippos, XBXRX, Growing, and of course, the Baltimore boy himself, Dan Deacon.
Held in turns at the Floristree, the Depot, and a few other gallery spaces around town, the weekend-long festival celebrated the best of the bizarre Baltimore house (as in, living space, not dance music) scene, as well as a few cohorts from around the country.
Now, in chronological order, the Whartscape Acts:
FRIDAY, JULY 20
HAWNAY TROOF
LEXIE MOUNTAIN BOYS
GROWING
ECSTATIC SUNSHINE
CEX

ActiveX has long been regarded as a thorn in the side of Windows users everywhere; a gaping hole through which spyware and viruses can contaminate your PC and compromise your data. Although much of the criticism leveled at ActiveX is excessively harsh, binary browser plugins?that can do just about anything the user can do?do have security concerns. With Internet Explorer 8, Microsoft's forthcoming version of its embattled browser, steps will be taken to further reduce the exposure caused by ActiveX. The IE blog has recently given details of what we can expect.

Yesterday's word proves true
The upcoming Xbox 360/PC MMO Two Worlds is putting a lot on the table ? you might say it?s bringing the world, by bringing the proven formula of last year?s The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to the oh-so-hot right now massively multiplayer online genre.
Although it?s recently been delayed, Zuxxee Entertainment revealed to UK based Edge magazine that they won?t be following the trend many MMOs such as World of Warcraft have created by offering up multiplayer action free of charge.

MSNBC's new article: 'People like Thompson are essentially feeding off the fears of those who don't understand games. Everyone wants a simple solution for a massively complex problem. For those who didn't grow up playing video games, the appeal of a game like "Counter-Strike" can be hard to comprehend. The game promotes communication and team work.'
Mark Graham writes "A number of surveys have recently put out details on the wages games developers earn in various parts of the world. Surveys by Develop in Europe and Game Developer in the US were among these. A report now compares the salary levels of various roles in the US and Europe. Turns out that game designers and producers do better in the UK, while artists and QA/testing wages are relatively the same on both sides of the Atlantic — and QA specifically is the worst paid; the lowest salaries being around £12,000/$25,000 — ouch! Luckily, I'm a programmer, but looks like I need to move country: we have the best paid roles in games development, but programmers are better off in America."

Gamasutra is running a piece right now called Rethinking the MMO. Game designer Neil Sorens takes issue with some of the consistent blights on the traditional Massive gaming experience, like the phenomenon of the 'ordinary' hero, and the extremely large time investment required to 'get anywhere'. Though he doesn't offer a lot in the way of concrete solutions to these issues, his appraisal of the genre is sure to spark a few conversations: "As long as developers and publishers do nothing but copy what is successful, they--and gamers--will continue to miss out on these games' staggeringly awesome potential. And as long as [MMOGs] are designed by and for stat geeks (whom I know and love and sometimes am) with little regard for traditional game design fundamentals, they will continue to waste that potential."
