The HOT news topic for the week
continues to be Michael Jackson, as his family prepares
to bury the legend of pop. Michael Jackson memorabilia
and albums are selling like hot cakes since his death.
In fact, more albums (422,000) have been sold this past
week than the total for the entire 6 months of 2009.
Michael Jackson's will was filed in court this week. You
can check out the story
HERE and read his will as well. I checked and
I'm not in it. Tis ok cause I've really never been a big
fan of his. All that plastic surgery kinda turned me off
I think, and that white glove. But regardless, he was
without a doubt among the best entertainers of our time.
Despite all of his fame and wealth though, he was only
human, just like all of us. We are born, we live a
little, and then we die. There's really not that much
time in between to make something of ourselves ya know.
It's important to make every day count cause time is
something you'll never get back. Anyhoot, enough of the
deep stuff. I hear the cats calling my name. Must be
feeding time, so I'll cut this short...laterz all...Lion

C&C 4 to be revealed in July? Tue - Jun 23, 2009, 6:41 pm [EST] posted by Lion
According to German C&C website C&C Inside, Command & Conquer 4 could possibly be unveiled to world as early as July via GameStar magazine, and specifically on July 29th.
More details at C&C Inside HERE, including a scan from the Gamestar magazine that makes reference to something special coming in their July issue. Just translate that page using google or babblefish.
NOTE: Command & Conquer 4 is not named specifically, so there's no actual confirmation it is C&C4. We do know it's a game made in the USA and a sequel to a popular series, plus there's the survey that's been sent to some C&C fans including myself (just got it today in my email box). It's likely to be C&C4, just no direct confirmation from EA yet.
C&C 4 to be RPG-like? Sat - Jun 20, 2009, 10:43 am [EST] posted by Lion
Blbpaws has informed me of a post he made on CNC Generals World concerning news about an official EA survey sent to some C&C fans on Friday. A question in the survey strongly suggested that the next C&C game, C&C 4, would be a "RPG-like player progression, persistent in both single player and Multiplayer modes, co-op play, and new stylized, live-action cinematics."
Anyhoot, check out Blbpaws full news post HERE. The story has not been confirmed as yet, but no indication it's a hoax.
