That is it. I am now officially hooked on the new season of Top Chef. I came home late tonight after closing the restaurant a little annoyed that I had to reviewcap this show. But then I popped the episode on and for some reason this episode captured me far more than the premiere. It probably had a lot to do with the hot dog themed Quickfire and the obviously poor quality of the food.
The Angry Pixel writes: "Jade Raymond, producer of Assassin?s Creed, is one sad panda these days. And if Jade ain?t happy, UbiSoft is mad. After all, she and her team delivered one spectacular baby in the form of Assassin?s Creed. And if UbiHulk goes all green, it?s very bad news for Something Awful, which found itself staring down the barrel of a lawsuit after someone posted a particularly tasteless comic of Jade trying to convince nerdy gamers to buy Assassin?s Creed by giving them really messy head. While I love SA.com?s reply to the lawsuit and think that?s what you deserve for being a lawyer, I am aghast at some of the comments made by gamers worldwide in response to this."
"Suddenly, people are calling Jade 'a touchy bitch' and talk about how she was using her sex appeal to sell the game , to how UbiSoft was pimping her to sexually frustrated gamers to get them to buy the game."
Kidman, Yes. But Not a Kidder.

Price cuts and new games may have helped Sony's beleaguered PlayStation 3 console to turn the corner, say analysts in Japan.
Sony Japan released a cheaper PS3 last week with a slightly restricted feature set, including a 40GB hard disk drive.
"Although Sony's game business has not been performing strongly, the first indications of the new lower-priced model's sales look likely to alleviate overly negative impressions of the business," said Nomura Securities analyst Eiichi Katayama.
Early sales figures for the cheaper PS3 are extremely encouraging, market watchers say. The cut price 40GB unit is currently selling for about $340 at online retailers based in Japan, compared to $466 for the older 60GB model.
Apple has pushed out its iPhone 1.1.2 firmware update to users of its popular mobile phone, fixing a widely publicized bug in the iPhone's browser.
Apple made the software available for download last Thursday, but on Monday, it began pushing it out automatically to users via its iTunes updating mechanism.The iPhone uses iTunes to scan for security updates once per week, so users will gradually be offered this new firmware over the next seven days.
The update fixes a bug in the way that the iPhone renders TIFF images.
The bug patch is a bit of a mixed blessing for iPhone enthusiasts. While it fixes a critical security vulnerability, that flaw had been used by iPhone developers in the unauthorized Jailbreak software that is used to run third-party applications. The update makes it difficult for users of brand-new iPhones to install Jailbreak.
Apple has been in a tug of war with some developers who have had to circumvent Apple's security measures in order to get their software to run on the iPhone. Apple initially wanted to prevent all third-party code from running directly on its mobile device, but in recent months the company has reversed course and promised to give developers a way to run their code on the iPhone. This SDK will become available in February 2008.
Apple's unauthorized developers have already found a way to stay ahead of Apple's latest software update.
Users with Jailbreak on their iPhone 1.1.1 systems are being advised to first install an application called OktoPrep, according to a post on the Unofficial Apple Weblog. This allows them to update to 1.1.2 without compromising their ability to run unauthorized software on the device.
Wireless syncing, good sound quality, and a nice touch control make this affordable player a good choice.

Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on with Katt Williams? The thirty-five year old comedian recently blew off his hosting gig at the BET Awards, then missed his appearance on Conan, and finally, was arrested on gun charges in New York City. It must have gotten exponentially harder out there for a pimp--what with the sluggish economy and oncoming winter
