As soon as it supports playing video files through usb (a rather fundamental capability being held back this generation to incentivize all entertainment purchases through native, proprietary mechanisms rather than allowing the simple ability these companies did LAST generation) I'll be in line, with money in one hand and a giant rubber adult sex toy in the other with which to smack you in the face while you beg for more.

Hearthstone is too cerebral for you. You need instructions to wipe yourself.

The latest in Hollywood news? They've run out of ideas, and they're going to begin smashing films together... Or some such concept.

One of the 'smash-ups' on the list is a combination of the Muppets and the movie 'Grease'.

Travolta is supposed to make a cameo as the high school coach...

So, for the last several days, this rumor has been out there:

Minecraft Is Expected to Be Acquired by Microsoft

Microsoft is in advanced talks to acquire the maker of the game Minecraft for more than $2 billion, people briefed on the discussions said on Tuesday. The move was intended to ensure that one of the most popular games was available for the computing giant’s family of devices.

The sides still need to work out many details, and a deal could fall through, according to one of these people, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Acquiring Minecraft would give Microsoft control of an online world that has defied many of the conventions of the modern games business to become a blockbuster success.

I must admit, this makes me very nervous. Someone talk me down from the ledge, please.
