CVG continue to grill Bethesda's Pete Hines about Fallout 3, plans for download content and the single-player RPG genre in general...

Tidbits from the inteview:
- Game length: "20 good hours for the main quest and all of the side quest stuff is probably at least another 20 hours"
- PS3 downloadable content: "We are still looking into it on the PSN side, and as far as any other DLC, it's still TBD."

Pete Hines also talks about the size of Fallout 3's game world, why it is smaller than Oblivion's, and what he thinks about the impact of MMO genre on the popularity of single-player RPGs.

The cinematic My Lai Massacre is averted. 'Pinkville' also delayed.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was one of the more successful spy shows/movies inspired by the James Bond craze of the 1960s. It was a fun show (with a great theme song!), and the complete series has just been released on DVD.

Some people might see the show as a "spoof," and one could take it that way, but it holds up really well as a straightforward spy drama too. Personally, I prefer I Spy, but The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is right up there too. And this set should make fans of the show (you are probably in your 30s at least, maybe older) very happy.

Apple is opening a new retail store in San Francisco's Marina District this Friday.

Remember that column in the Murfreesboro (Tennessee) Post last week, in which the columnist rewrote the Jeffersons theme song for the Obama election? If you're a true music fan, you may recall the killer lyric, "Well we’re movin’ on up, To Washington, D.C. To a deee-luxe pimp pad, Painted whiiiite." Yes. Well that columnist is also, fittingly, a principal at one of the town's fine schools. And he's very sorry:

"Although my hobby as a columnist is not connected directly to my position as principal I should have known better than to attempt to find humor in a subject so sensitive to so many," Lewis wrote in an e-mail letter to parents obtained by The Daily News Journal through an open records request. "With all of that being said, I truly apologize to those of you who were offended by my comments."

To those of you who were not offended, sing along: "Yeah we’re movin’ on up, To the White House. I’ll be jetting with P. Diddy cross the sky." Har. [Tennessean. To Murfreesboro's credit, pretty much everybody there seemed embarrassed.]
