Gothic III Patch 1.12 Released (Dec 21 2006 18:58 GMT) - According to the JoWood forums the next patch for Gothic III has been released. The 1.12 patch continues the developers goal of bug fixing and balancing the game after release. As some of you may know, Gothic III shipped out with a great amount of issues, most of which were the bugs and balance problems. JoWood continues to address these issues, and you have to at least give them their props for supporting the game, especially considering the overly negative reviews many of the big names gave the game due to those bugs and issues. |

Release Date for Second Season of ''The Venture Bros.'' (Dec 21 2006 18:52 GMT) - An inspired spoof of 1960s action cartoons such as Johnny Quest, The Venture Bros. follows the bizarre misadventures of Hank and Dean, who believe themselves to be an unusually gifted team of "brains" and "brawn" while actually possessing very little of either. The boys travel the world with their renowned scientist-father, Doctor Venture and treat even the most mundane situation as a bold new adventure. As a result, they often find themselves in danger with a host of oddball villains - but rarely find their way out. They rely instead on their body-guard/undercover government agent Brock Sampson, voiced by Patrick Warburton of The Tick and Seinfeld fame, to save them. |

University of Tokyo develops expansive plastic power sheet (Dec 21 2006 18:52 GMT) - Filed under: Misc. Gadgets, WirelessIt seems this whole "wireless power" phenomenon is just getting warmed up, as we've got yet another creation that promises to rejuvenate our gadgetry without forcing us to hunt for those easy-to-misplace AC adapters. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have demonstrated a prototype which consists of "plastic and flexible electronics" that can wirelessly provide power to "any device that touches its surface." Of course, gadgets would need to be equipped with "a coil and special power-harvesting circuitry" to receive the energy, but it still beats lugging around half a dozen adapters on every outing. |

Gawker Book Club: Extra-Timely Edition (Dec 21 2006 18:50 GMT) - Some people like to say that living well is the best revenge. Well, living well is pretty good revenge, but the best? We think that'd have to be something along the lines of: writing a roman a clef about your evil ex-boss that's being published at around the same time that said ex-boss is getting fired and dragged through the mud in the media. Congratulations, Bridie Clark! |
