VIDEO: The Banned George Bush Interview

This is a reportedly banned interview with an Irish journalist where you can see Bush turning first from a bumbling idiot, to a defensive and tetchy idiot, and then back to the bumbling idiot again.

TECH: RIAA Says Copying CDs Onto Your PC Is "Illegal"

WTF: Dean 'Sell-out' Takahashi

Okay, not sure if you all heard of this. Dean Takahashi (of Mercury News 'fame') wrote a review completely slamming Mass Effect some time ago, even going as far as to call it Mass Defect. Upon seeing how many of his readers were pissed about his review (and no doubt thinking of what happened to Gerstmann) he then retracted his review and gave the most lengthy, filled to the brim with bs-corporate-cock-s*cking drivel I've ever seen. Either review games (and stand by your opinion/review) or get out of the whole damned game altogether. How does it feel Takahashi, knowing that you are nothing more than a clown?
