World of Warcraft
Before scoffing too much, keep in mind the online micropayment market has created its own economy between World of Warcraft and the XBOX Live Marketplace in the last few years, and profits are going nowhere but up. Previous coverage of Meez can be found here. Post a comment .
With heavy heart, Lake hits one out of the park
When Chelsi Lake's walk-off home run cleared the fence to give No. 9 Baylor a 4-3 comeback win against Oklahoma State on Saturday, it kept the Bears perfect in Big 12 play and bailed them out against a weaker opponent in a game that could have come back to haunt them in the standings had they lost. For Baylor, a program that has never finished better than third in the conference regular season, Saturday's win, as well as the subsequent 11-3 rout of the Cowgirls on Sunday, capped a successful weekend rife with long-term implications. Having improved to 9-0 in league play, the Bears also moved three games clear of No. 2 Oklahoma and No. 5 Texas A&M in the loss column after both of those teams lost conference games. Lake, one of two seniors on this year's team to spend four years in Waco, said she was thrilled to do her part to help complete a three-run rally in the bottom of the seventh, hitting her home run on the heels of Brette Reagan's solo shot and Ashley Monceaux's single.
Xbox Live Arcade Review: Bejeweled 2
We humans are an easily entertained bunch. Look no further than the simplicity of PopCap's Bejeweled 2, a stunningly simple gem matching affair that sucks hours of your life away the minute you select it from the Live Arcade menu. While playable free elsewhere, this $10 Xbox 360 port does a fine job of making itself worthwhile, with added modes and lots of pretty colors all in HD. Players are presented with a grid filled with shiny jewels. By swapping two of them, the idea is to line up three, four, or five of the same color in a horizontal or vertical row. It’s as simple as video games can be, a perfect entry title for the newcomer or light casual type. Bonus gems can be earned by matching up four or five in a row. By lining up four, you’ll receive an explosive gem, which can take out all surrounding objects regardless of color.
Weekend Spy: Mobile Movements
Media regulator Ofcom is currently looking at auctioning off part of the analogue spectrum that will become available following digital switchover. Along with broadcasters looking to trial services like HD, mobile providers are likely to enter the bidding, allowing the further development of mobile TV in the UK. But how likely is this to happen, and what can we learn from successful mobile TV services overseas?At the Broadcast Mobile Congress last week, Ofcoms policy manager, Anirban Roy, outlined exactly how much spectrum would be made available for auction when the digital switchover is complete. Now you may think that mobile TV and digital switchover are separate subjects - not so. And heres why (science bit coming up): analogue television presently uses 368MHz (megahertz) of spectrum located in the most valuable part of the spectrum band.
