A bus reserved for use by Eminems managers on the Anger Management Tour caught on fire Sunday. The fire was caused by friction from a flat tire. By the time the local Pittsfield Township Fire Dept arrived, the bus was fully engulfed in flames.
Apparently, the bus was empty except for the bus driver and he made it out unharmed.

EA Sports Website has the full scoop.

If you saw the early post on Battlefield 1942, you are aware of the release of the multiplayer demo. In this demo, you can play either the Japanese or Americans at the battle of Wake Island. G.Racer and I downloaded it Friday night and had it installed around Midnight. The first test of any great game, is how long do you play the first time you load it. When we finally looked up, it was after 6am Saturday morning. We always play games on Friday night (much to the angst of our wives), but we usually wrap up sometime between 1am and 3am. Not this time. We would have kept playing, but G.Racer had to get a few hours sleep before work on Saturday, so we called it a night. If you read on, I will tell you more details about what we thought about Battlefield 1942. Continue reading Battlefield 1942 Multiplayer Demo Is A Hit!
