Sony’s Tim Schaaff Thought The PSN Hack Was A “Great Experience”. Oh Bro.
The PSN hack was a kidney punch combo’d into a nuts stomp, and gave Sony something of a drooping around the world. We all stared. Some aghast. Some amused. Some both. It had to totally suck for everyone involved over at Sony, right? Naw, bro! Sony’s network entertainment president Tim Schaaff was having the time of his life.

AJ Hateley Makes Book Covers Out of Classic Video Games. Lit/Gamer Swoon!
AJ Hateley has taken on the impressive project of turning classic video games into book covers. They’re not your run of the mill covers, rather they reflect the sort of old, worn books that makes a literature nerd like me weep. They’re absolutely gorgeous. Double-daps to including Camus on the Katamari cover. Fantastic!

Diablo Cody Rewriting ‘Evil Dead’ Remake. Well There Goes That.
I don’t like Diablo Cody. I don’t like remakes. So while I wasn’t excited for a remake of Evil Dead, now that it’s been announced that she’s rewriting it any sort of expectations I had for it just went up in flames. Flames powered by trite, forced dialogue and indie songs.

“Margie, wake up!”
The rotund younger sister ignored the request, turning over and darting her head under a pillow. She saw that the sun was far from rising and knew the schoolbell wouldn’t be ringing for hours. Her older sister probably just wanted to get something off her chest.
“C’mon, I want to talk to you.” This time, Vanessa coupled her appeal with a gentle swinging of a pillow. She had succeeded.
“Great, now you’ve done it! I’m officially awake!” Margie feigned supreme aggravation, shaking a fist in her older sister’s face and putting on her best scowl. But her natural joviality didn’t allow for such impressions to persist and she ended up chuckling, amused by her own antics.
“Seriously though,” Margie began after looking at the clock, “it’s just after three in the morning — what do you want?”
Vanessa plopped onto the bed. “I’m in love.”
“Oh, spare me!”
“I am.”
“With that Daryl boy?”
“He’s no boy.”
Margie halted her intended conversation. “Wait — what does that mean?”
The elder, more beautiful sister did her best to prevent the blood from flowing into her face. She failed. Blushing, she offered her explanation, “Well let’s just say he’s no boy and I’m no longer just a girl with monthly Womanly Responsibilities. I’m a full-fledged woman.”
Margie’s jaw nearly hit her potbelly. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “I can’t believe what I’m hearing. You…you let that dude bone you?”

Variant Covers: I Love It When You Deathstroke Me!
Sometimes I use comic books as a means to escape the drudgery of the daily routine. Tomorrow I’m going to be using them to escape the Furnace of Doom that is eating up the Eastern seaboard. The various nooks and crannies of my body are pooling sweat. My body smells like a refuge for swamp animals.
My air conditioner hates me.
It’s time to escape.
Variant Covers: The comic books I’m interested in this week. I’ll show you my pull-list, you show me yours. Behind the fence, where our parents can’t see.
Kathie Lee Gifford Says Adult Gamers Are ‘Weird’. She Is A Bastion of Dumb.
It’s also a reverse compliment that Kathie Lee Gifford thinks that adults who play video games are weird. To associate with her empty husk, her pithy ramblings, and the mind-numbing brain rot for housewives that is her television show is a fate worse than death. The Dark Mark or some shit.
