“In an effort to help resolve his debt problems, Sumner Redstone has sold his controlling stake in videogame company Midway Games Inc. to a private investor. Mr. Redstone’s holding company, National Amusements Inc., is expected to announce Monday that it sold its 87% stake in Midway to investor Mark Thomas, a move that represents a significant loss on the media mogul’s investment but secures a hefty tax benefit as he negotiates other asset sales.” [Link]
“A former ATM software designer for a large bank, Demeter created ‘Trism’ in his spare time and pitched it to Apple last spring. The company made the game available for download with the July launch of its App Store, an online provider of applications for its iPods and iPhones. Priced at $5, ‘Trism’ earned Demeter $250,000 in profits the first two months. ‘It’s done phenomenal business,’ said Demeter, 29, who lives in the California’s San Francisco Bay area. ‘I’m very honored that so many people would enjoy my game. I get e-mails from 50-year-old ladies who say, ‘I don’t play games, but I love Trism.’ That’s the coolest thing.’” [Link]

“The main reason is to invade Stormwind and Ironforge when they reach top level. I’m sure the Alliance will put up a big fight when that happens. We’ll see how it goes. If they don’t make level 70 before Wrath of the Lich King, then it will be at level 80. That is my main goal. That will probably happen after I’ve got some PvP gear from the battlegrounds. I’m also planning to do some 25 and 10 man raid instances but that is secondary to my PvP goal. ” [Link]

“Apparently there’s two scripts floating around, both taking place during World War 2. When asked if Natassia Malthe would be reprising her role as Rayne from part 2, Boll denied. He said he wants the gorgeous Kristanna Loken back, or if Loken asks for too much money they’ll go with an entirely new actress. Loken of course played Rayne in the first film.” [Link]
