Kurt Cobains New Book
Rumor has it that Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobains memoirs are currently making rounds at the New York publishing houses. If published, the book would include lyrics, drawings, information on his favorite records, and extensive writings on drug use and the media.
Nyah! Take that!
I normally dont post stuff like this, but I thought it was freaking funny. A lady was fed up with
Jehovah’s Witnesses visiting her house every month for the last twelve years, so she decided to pay them back. Get the full story on The Times UK website.
Who could forget Zork?!?
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.
If you have been playing games for a while, that statement might bring back many memories. For me, it brings back the memory of my friends Apple IIc with a Green Screen. Continue reading Who could forget Zork?!?

Top 20 Games for August, 2001 Released
NPD Intelect released the top 20 selling games for August. A very “deserving” add-on takes the #1 spot. The Sims continues to amaze me as three offerings stay in the top 10. (You better believe Sims Online is going to make some major cash!) The boys at Interplay round out the bottom rung at number 20. Guess they did such a good job with the main game, people didnt need the add-on to make it look and play better, unlike our number one contender, which was a necessary update to the outdated engine used in Diablo II.

Top 20 Games for July, 2001
NPD Intelect released the top 20 selling games for the month of July. Most of the list is exactly what you would expect to see, Diablo 2, The Sims (everywhere), Black & White. The most interesting item on the list is at number 18. It is the only MMORPG to make the top 20 sellers. What is even more interesting is that it was not in the top 20 last month and in my humble opinion has been one of the slowest growing MMORPG of the first 3 major releases. Could the tides of gaming be changing? If Ive peeked your interested, take a look inside for yourself. As always, your thoughts and opinions are always welcome.
