As far as I have found out, Lucasarts hasn't decided if they will have a version of Force Unleashed for the Wii. There is a major "lightsaber fighting" game in the works but as for the FU it's looking like the Wii isn't powerful enough to handle the Euphoria Engine. This sucks hardcore since there are no plans for a PC version of the game either although they do have a PS and PS2 version coming out. WTF??? So, anyone out there with an Xbox 360, I'll be hanging out at your house for a while.
Woo hoo!!! Blame Society's Chad Vader has worked with the rifftrax guys to do voice overs for Episode II. If you don't know what rifftrax is, its Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbet recording commentary for different DVD's that you can play in sinc with your movies. You would know Mike Nelson from MST3K.
Here is a a video clip of Chad Vader working with these guys.

Yeah, email...I remember that thing. I've been meaning to do it since the boards still lie in a pool of blood. I'm sure I'll get to it, but now I have to relisten to the episode to get all my topics straight. Suffice it to say, that I love my Wii, a few other family members have managed to track one down, and they are having a blast. And the Virtual Console is the key to happiness.

LONDON (Reuters) - Kryptonite, which robbed Superman of his powers, is no longer the stuff of comic books and films.

A mineral found by geologists in Serbia shares virtually the same chemical composition as the fictional kryptonite from outer space, used by the superhero's nemesis Lex Luther to weaken him in the film "Superman Returns".
"We will have to be careful with it -- we wouldn't want to deprive Earth of its most famous superhero!," said Dr Chris Stanley, a mineralogist at the Natural History Museum.
Stanley, who revealed the identity of the mysterious new mineral, discovered the match after searching the Internet for its chemical formula - sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide.
"I was amazed to discover that same scientific name written on a case of rock containing kryptonite stolen by Lex Luther from a museum in the film Superman Returns," he said.
The substance has been confirmed as a new mineral after tests by scientists at the Natural History Museum and the
National Research Council in Canada.
But instead of the large green crystals in Superman comics, the real thing is a white, powdery substance which contains no fluorine and is non-radioactive.
The mineral, to be named Jadarite, will go on show at the the Natural History Museum at certain times of the day on Wednesday, April 25, and Sunday, May 13.

Does anyone here read "The Order of the Stick" at Giantitp.com? It's an amazingly well-done comic strip that's heavy on D&D and stick-figure humor while also having an actually engaging story.
Anyway, the recent storyline involves the Lich arch-nemesis of the adventuring party launching a massive surprise attack against the Lawful-Good-ruled city that protects a "saphire" that is actually the smallest seal against a terrible force of chaos. The Lich wants to somehow use the saphire, not end the world with it, and in the last strip he busted up into a room FULL of paladins (after killing one of the main characters) only to own them all in record time.
This strip, the one that's up as of Tuesday 05/08/07 is about what happens when you fuck with a Lawful Good city ruled by the nephew of one of the craftiest rulers to ever sit on a throne.
Seriously, check it out.

so wait kryptonite has no krypton in it? How is that possible? I thought that was the key to why it was different, different portions of krypton mixed with other materials to create the different colors. I am so confused. And after reading the article I guess so are the creators of Superman. Although in this case I person think they should name the new mineral after the original writer of superman, you know in homage. of course the russkies might get upset, but if you give them a little vodka and pictures of Pamela Anderson everything will be OK.
On a side note after doing my own research into it, Jadarite is going to become extremely valuable, if only because every superman enthusiast in the world with money has offered the museum ridiculous sums for a piece of the rock. Besides that little cool function it will also go into the rock collection found at every tourists trap in the world as the only rock that glows pink when you hit it with ultraviolet ;lights, a hippie's wet dream.
