Planetside 2, Sony Online Entertainment’s re-imagining of the hit MMOFPS Planetside. We’ve been waiting for SO LONG to be able to really talk to you guys about this and now we can.
Where should I start? That’s the only question…So I suppose I’ll start with the world of Auraxis and how we came to be here, according to the history of Planetside 2…and some Planetside 1.

My Friend’s Sister Is Missing. Let’s Find Crystal Morrison Prentice.
Crystal Morrison Prentice was last seen leaving her work a week ago. She hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
During my time at Best Buy, I was acquainted with a wonderful General Manager out of South Carolina named Mechelle Morrison. We’ve never met in person, but we’ve known each other on Facebook for several years and she’s a wonderful woman. On August 24th, she reported that her sister, Crystal Morrison Prentice, had gone missing the day before between 12:30 and 1:00pm after leaving her work at Connextions Recruiting in Kannapolis, North Carolina.

Slaughterhouse “Welcome To: Our House” Review
SLAUGHTERHOUSE! If you have listened to any hip-hop station in the last 4 years you’ve probably heard that screamed at the beginning, middle and/or end of a song. The group consists of Crooked I, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz & Royce da 5’9″. Welcome To: Our House is the groups second studio album but the first since being signed to Shady records. I had to listen to this album a few times before I actually started liking it. Maybe it’s because most of the hot tracks have been singles, out before the album release.

Star Wars: Detours Looks Dumb And Stupid And I Want To Watch All Of It
Anyone else remember that Star Wars: Lo Mein Flash cartoon? Exactly what this reminds me of.
I love Star Wars. I enjoy Robot Chicken. So I don’t understand why these things can’t exist in perfect harmony. Not far removed from Seth Green and Matt Senreich’s stop-motion comedy show is a new series produced by Lucasfilm called Star Wars: Detours that provides all of Robot Chicken’s quirk in a thoroughly-researched Star Wars setting. I want it. All of it.

Samsung’s New Galaxy Camera (Might) Blow My Mind
Is it a camera or a phone or a portable media player? Yes.
There was a time, right around when I bought my first smartphone (a Palm Pre, of course) that I was kinda dying for a really small, dedicated camera. The Pre did decently in daylight, but I wanted a more powerful camera solution that didn’t have a three megapixel sensor, an optical zoom instead of just a crunchy-looking digital zoom, and the ability to easily transmit those images. None of my phones in the past three years have done this successfully, but Samsung has a decent idea: marry a phone to a camera in a solution that makes Sony’s dysfunctional organization green with envy. But there are going to be some downsides.

Xbox Music Prepares to Deal the Death Blow to Zune
If you’re a Zune subscriber – and really, who isn’t? (besides, well, everybody) – then you may be wondering what this whole Xbox Music thing is all about. During E3 back in June, Microsoft announced their new Xbox Music service, but they did so without offering any actual information about what the service is, how it will work, or what it will do besides, you know… music.
Well, thanks to an email sent today from Microsoft to current Zune subscribers, we can at least tell you some of the things that Xbox Music won’t do. Or, more specifically, the Zune features that are getting killed.

Assassin’s Bullet Review: Christian Slater Is All You Need
Waking Up Captain Sulu to Pistol Model: The Life Of Christian Slater
Despite what the cover would have you believe, American actors Christian Slater and Donald Sutherland are actually secondary characters in this film about a Neo-themed assassin. Look, I’m just going to spoil the whole thing for you: the story is really about the split personalities of said assassin, who is at other times a belly dancer and still others a fragile English teacher. The title also doesn’t pay credit to the premise either. The original marque, Sofia, was ditched to, I guess, appeal to us Westerners who need their Daily Dose of Slater-Sutherland, but it doesn’t really pay much tribute to the premise of the film. I only say this up front because Assassin’s Bullet isn’t a bad movie at all, it’s just not a good one. It just hovers there.

The Newsroom, First Season Review: Needs More Fair, Balanced
I was tempted to crop this shot to just Allison Pill, but decided against it. Only at the last minute, though.
24-hour news networks are evil at their core. For my part, I was glued to MSNBC throughout Clinton’s last years through the Lewinsky scandal, the shootings at Columbine, and concluding with Y2K. What happens when you don’t have content? You have to fill that space somehow. Aaron Sorkin, no stranger to behind-the-scenes affairs, and scribe of Facebook ‘show-all’ The Social Network, wants to bring the back end of this kind of news show to light with episodes set to recent events. Here, we witness the transformation of Jeff Daniels’ anchor/producer Will McAvoy and the team that supports him. So does it work?
