Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy helped solidify Will Ferrell as a comic super star and pushed Steve Carell into the limelight. Now eight years after that movie came out (yes, it has really been that long) we get a trailer for Anchorman: The Legend Continues.
It seems that 343 Industries is going to great lengths to both show off some multiplayer gameplay of Halo 4, making it viral with it’s intentionally low quality. The video was recorded off of a lo-fi shakycam which is recording a VHS video of Halo 4 in a barn with some really awful and occasionally NSFW music . . . but most believe it’s real.
In a unique take on horror games, Among the Sleep puts you in a position of a two-year old and uses the psychology of a child to inform the game world. Forced to leave his home, the child enters a surreal world where he and Teddy must overcome hardships to find their way home.
According to Curt Schilling, he stands to lose $50 million if 38 Studios goes under. The company received a $75 million loan from the state of Rhode Island two years ago, and if it goes bankrupt then Rhode Island taxpayers will be liable to repay more than $100 million.
Schilling also said that Gov. Lincoln Chafee’s remarks that the state was trying to keep his company solvent were ‘‘devastating.’’ Within 72 hours of those comments, a video-game publisher (likely Electronic Arts) pulled out of a $35-million deal to finance Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning 2.
‘‘The governor is not operating in the best interest of the company by any stretch, or the taxpayers, or the state,’’ said Schilling. ‘‘We’re trying to save this company and we’re working 24/7. The public commentary has been as big a piece of what’s happening to us as anything out there.’’
Furthermore, Schilling also said the state did not deliver promised film tax credits for 38 Studios and refused to allow the company to defer a $1.1 million payment to the Economic Development Corp. This forced the company to miss payroll on May 15. Soon afterward, 38 Studios was forced to lay off its 291 workers in Providence and 100 more in Maryland.
‘‘I have done whatever I can do to create jobs and create a successful business, with my own income,’’ he said. ‘‘Fifty million dollars, everything I’ve ever saved, has been put back into the economy. The $49 million from Rhode Island has been put back in the economy. I’ve never taken a penny and I’ve done nothing but create jobs and create economy. And so how does that translate into welfare baby I’ve tried to do right by people.’’
Chafee, for his part, denies that he’s hurt the company with his comments. While he claims he wants 38 Studios to succeed, he opposes giving them film tax credits after receiving state bond proceeds.
Jonathan Savage, a business lawyer who is representing Chafee, says that the state may change its first position to 38 Studio’s assets if that will help attract a private investor. Schilling says that might help and wants to believe the company isn’t finished.
‘‘I pray that it’s not,’’ he said. ‘‘We’re doing everything we can do to make that not be the case.’’

Square Enix has teased out some images for Hitman Absolution. I think we all can agree that the best thing that could be done for the game is have the multiplayer be composed entirely of fetishistic nuns.

The current conflict in Syria is no laughing matter, with thousands killed in a situation that quickly seems to be descending into civil war. However, the BBC managed to make itself the target of comedy during a report on Amnesty International pushing the United Nations Security Council to act.
Searching for an image of the ‘united nations security council logo’ in Google Images yield many correct images and and also some incorrect though official looking image of the United Nations Space Command from the Halo series. Images from the BBC prove that this mistake really happened.

The release of The Secret World has been delayed until July 3 due to market considerations. Early access to the Funcom-developed title will kick off on June 29 following a series of beta weekends.
“The third Beta Weekend, titled ‘Hell Raised’, will begin on June 15th and run until June 17. In this Beta Weekend players will be able to experience the Illuminati and Dragon starter experiences as well as the Templar experience,” details publisher EA. “Players will also get to leave Kingsmouth and venture into the massive region known as Savage Coast, where they will soon find that the very gates of hell itself have opened up! This will allow players to experience the epic ‘Hell Raised’ dungeon where you will have to battle the demons of hell itself!
“The fourth and final Beta Weekend will begin on June 22nd and run until June 24,” they added. “This event will focus on the player vs. player experience in The Secret World, and players will get to sample both the Eldorado battlefield experience as well as the massive warzone gameplay where over a hundred players clash together in persistent battle. Here the Illuminati, the Templars and the Dragon will get to duke it out and hone their battle skills on each other before the real conflict begins when Early Access opens on June 29.”
Apple has long been rumored to be looking to get more directly into the TV gaming space. When asked about such things at the D10 conference, Apple CEO Tim Cook denied that they were looking into a gaming specific device.
“I view that we are in gaming now in a fairly big way,” he replied. “One of the reasons people buy an iPod touch is gaming. Some buy it for music. I realize that is not the big screen you are talking about. Gaming has kind of evolved a bit. More people play on portable devices. Where we might go in the future, we’ll see. Customers love games. I’m not interested in being in the console business in what is thought of as traditional gaming. But Apple is a big player today, and things in the future will only make that bigger.”
When asked if the Apple TV could be used as a backdoor gaming device for the living room, Cook only replied, “I think it could be interesting.”
