I have never played Team Fortress 2 (or the first one in the series) and so haven't really kept up with the news about it. Well, until today.
It has just been announced that Valve has made Team Fortress 2 free to play. How is Valve going to make money from the game if you don't have to pay to play? The in-game store is going to be the one source of Valve being paid for the game.
On one hand this is a good thing (as it's always nice for a game to be free). But, on the other hand, how will this hold up through time? Will the items released in the shop be the only way to play the game well?
Only time will tell and I hope, for all those that play Team Fortress 2, that things work out for them.

Footloose Remake
Yes, Footloose is going to be remade. How far along are they in this process? How can I put this...they have a trailer out.
aka the remake of Footloose is going to be done.
I haven't seen the original but heard it's supposed to be cheesey. Why did they remake it? I am assuming that since the original one is remembered fondly, by some, that they decided to make money by remaking it.
Movie making is a business so this makes sense. I'm not in love with the original (having never seen it), so I'm not too close to the situation.

A Scientology Music Video
Scientology is a cult that is dangerous (and also referenced in the game series Dead Space). Recently there has been a video brought up on YouTube about it.
Specifically a music video. This is a very cheesey music video and would be funny if not for the fact that Scientology is actually real and not kind. The video below does have annotations so you can find some facts out about what Scientology really is.

Roger Ebert: A Tweet Too Soon
I am not all familiar with the Jackass series, so when I heard that Ryan Dunn died I didn't have much context. However, he is a human being and deserves respect when he hasn't even been dead a full day. It doesn't matter that he died in a car crash after drinking. What matters was that he is a human being that died.
Roger Ebert disagrees with me since he posted (soon after Dunn was dead) that "Friends don't let jackasses drink and drive".
Now I do admit drunk driving is not good and that Ebert does have a point. However, it was too soon after Dunn had died. Let the people who need to grieve, grieve for a little bit then let your distaste out.
