‘Pro plantiff’ Erik Estavillo subpoenas Bill Gates in RROD suit
Nov/090
While Estavillo is looking for answers to questions every journalist has been seeking, his track record of legal battles places him in eccentric territory. Estavillo is also suing Activision Blizzard claiming characters in World of Warcraft walk at an intentionally slow pace in order to bilk customers of more monthly fees. In the claim, he subpoenaed actress Winona Ryder and Depeche Mode member Martin Gore. Estavillo has also filed suit against Sony for being banned from online play, stemming from comments he supposedly made during matches of Resistance: Fall of Man; and Nintendo, for issuing firmware updates that disabled his Homebrew Channel.

Railway Track Creates Unexpected Habitat for Rhinos
Nov/090
India’s Bagha-Chitauni rail link has unexpectedly created a swampy new home for a family of rhinos.
Although in the 1990’s, Bihar forest officials fought – and lost – a legal battle to stop the railway track relaying project, today they couldn’t be happier: The obstruction has created 1,000 hectares of swampy rhino habitat.

Prince of Persia dialogue writer wins UK Writer’s Guild award
Nov/090
The 2008 reboot of the Prince of Persia franchise (which, apparently, is getting shut down) featured some of the most enjoyable snark and pith we’ve ever heard in a video game. Fortunately, Andy Walsh, the man responsible for the Prince and Elika’s sharp-tongued exchanges, was recently recognized for his witty dialogue when he won the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Games Award last night in London.
Normally, this is where we’d drop in a quote from Walsh about how excited he was to receive the award, but it doesn’t seem that anyone initiated the optional dialogue with him following the Writers’ Guild awards ceremony. Too bad, something tells us we’ve missed out on the best part.

Brink moved to Fall 2010; watch its S.M.A.R.T. system now
Nov/090
Back at E3, we were briefly shown Brink’s S.M.A.R.T. system for navigating around the Bethesda-published FPS’ environment. Our play session was mainly focused on the combat and quests of the game at the time. Now, Splash Damage’s own Paul Wedgewood has been kind enough to demonstrate how it works in-game, courtesy of the G4 video past the break.
Another interesting item brought up in this video is Brink’s new release date: Fall 2010. Last we heard, it was destined for a Spring 2010 release. Not so anymore!

Bioshock 2 coming to Japan, courtesy of D3 Publisher
Nov/090
Good news, Japan! D3 Publisher is localizing Bioshock 2 for you and, this time around, you won’t have to wait that long to get your ADAM-soaked hands on it. Andriasang reports D3 Publisher will release the 2K Marin, et al.-developed sequel sometime in early 2010 — presumably close to the February 9 US release date. We just hope the new Japanese ad campaign dials back the completely frightening a bit.
