Japan 2012. The Tokyo Ripper claims another victim. John Murray, trying to come to terms with being an AI of his former human self on a chip embedded in the remains of his own brain, has enough on his plate without having to run around solving murder mysteries. But his digital soul, Ki, disembodied and psychotic in the Net, takes up the challenge. Will John patch things up with his estranged fiancee? Will the yakuza-contracted Ozzie assassin get to him first? Or will the Ripper take all …

RIPPED – the sequel to TOUGH GIG

Hope to see you there!

Blizzard’s World of Warcraft gets free-to-play (until level 20). Valve’s Team Fortress 2 gets free-to-play (pay for extra weapons and stuff). That’s an interesting trend from the heavy weights of the industry. It might be a strong blow to the smaller competitors. It might also be a good occasion for me to reinstall a Windows machine.

Actually, reading about Blizzard made me want to revisit Diablo 2. Too bad the CD is back in France. Has anyone around played it? What build did you enjoy the most?

Well, unfortunately the Wonder Woman pilot that was pitched to NBC was rejected. I’ve been hoping that with all the superhero films of the last thirteen years that a Wonder Woman film would eventually be done after the Batman and Superman movies, but that may not come to fruition. I’m actually surprised that even Green Lantern got a movie before Wonder Woman did, when she’s more of an iconic (and more well-known to the non-comic book fan mainstream) character than GL is. But I guess Green Lantern has more flashy big sci-fi special effects potential and appeal than a flying Amazonian feminist with a golden lasso that forces bound men to tell the truth does. And the bigwigs in Hollywood have doubts that a female superhero movie would do well enough in the box offices. But anyway, due to the unlikelihood of a Wonder Woman film in the near future, a new TV series would have been the next best thing.
