Weekly Webcomic Wrapup wants to help you survive Black Friday
Next week, you guys. Black Friday. The biggest trampling shopping day of the year. Sure, there are plenty of guides out there for consumers, to find the best deals and get the most out of their holiday and whatnot, but what about the people actually working retail? How can they possibly know what fresh Hell waits for them in the early morning hours on November 25?

Japanese Hardware Sales, October 31 – November 6: Rocky road edition
News of the cinematic adaptation of Asteroids resurfaced earlier this week when Slashfilm reported that Universal has hired Evan Spiliotopoulos (responsible for that upcoming Snow White thing) to pen the script for the worst idea anyone has ever had, and that the plot is still similar to reports from 2009: Two brothers must find each other, and themselves, in outer space.

You know, we looked into it, and it turns out Hollywood ...

As department stores across the nation begin decking their halls with boughs of various things, they also begin preparing their tired, broken staff for the onslaught of panicked, sleep-deprived consumer mayhem awaiting them on November 25.

Check out Bohemia Interactive’s watery FADE anti-piracy
We're so inspired by Bohemia Interactive's new implementation of its FADE anti-piracy software, we've decided to adopt it ourselves. See, FADE is designed to cause illegally downloaded versions of Bohemia's titles (starting with Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis back in 2001) to experience a rapid decline in performance. The latest game to feature the safeguard is Take On Helicopters, which gets all wiggly and wobbly as the game progresses, as seen in the screenshot above.
