Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:14:46 PDT
Apparently, the game will be a “Mail Play Game”, which I have never in my life heard of in a mobile game. Still, if anyone can get it right it’ll be Square Enix, famed for the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest RPGs on consoles. The game will use micro transactions, where users can purchase Mobicoins for use in-game. The whole deal is coming out later this year in Japan, but there are no current plans for a US release.

Chris Matthews = Michael Scott? MSNBC = Dunder Mifflin?

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:57:04 PDT
Tongues are still wagging over The NYT Magazine's cringe-inducing cover story on Chris Matthews. The cringes came courtesy of the name-dropping Matthews, whose raging insecurities danced across nearly every page of the piece. Is Chris Matthews the Michael Scott of talk show hosts? If so, does that make MSNBC the Dunder Mifflin of cable news?

Tricia Walsh Smith Vents Youtube Divorce

Tricia Walsh Smith Vents Youtube Divorce

 
Not only is Youtube (Web Video) good for sharing Music Videos and TV Broadcasts segments, but apparently its a great tool to use when trashing soon-to-be estranged spouses as Tricia Walsh Smith invents new style of divorce: Youtube Divorce.

Former actress and playwright ("Bonkers") Tricia Walsh-Smith, vented ALL of her frustrations out against her husband, Philip Smith, President of the Shubert Organization, the largest theater owner on Broadway, on Youtube.

Famous Divorce Raoul Felder who represents Tricia Walsh Smith says, "The situation is funny but Divorce isn't". "This is a victim who is holding her head up. I think she comes off well."

On the taping of this already famous YouTube Divorce video Smith bashes family members who gave her hell and tells the world how her husband, is allegedly trying to evict her from their luxury apartment.

Tricia Walsh Smith also makes embarrassing claims regarding their intimate life, and then calls his office on camera to repeat those claims to a stunned assistant in the divorce video put on YouTube.

Norman Sheresky, a Partner in the Matrimonial Law firm Sheresky Aronson Mayesfsky & Sloan says, "I don't think it's the kind of thing people should be doing, and it's the kind of thing judges frown upon".

"This is absolutely a new step, and I think it's scary," said Bonnie Rabin, a divorce lawyer who has handled high-profile cases. "People used to worry about getting on Page Six (the gossip page of the New York Post). But this? It brings the concept of humiliation to a whole new level."

To date Tricia Walsh Smith's YouTube Video (below) has been seen by more than 150,000 viewers.
