"Gamespy's logo depicts a pedophile preparing to attack."
Thanks to Pseudo Hero for this tip. GameSpy's finally made
it on the Internet's premiere comedy encylopedia, the Encyclopedia
Dramatica. Yeah! The article's notedly pointed and short,
but loses none of its comedic potency (like Pseudo Hero's
dick) - check
it out.

Mark Rein Updates On 360 Mods
13:11 | by Tzimiesce
An article over at CVG reports that Epic is working hard to find a way to bring mods to the Xbox 360 version of UT3.
"That's part of the reason we announced we were shipping the game on PC and PS3 this Fall, but we don't have a date for the Xbox 360 version - it'll be some time after the new year. Part of that is because we haven't been able to figure out just how we're going to do the mods. And Microsoft's got a very busy Christmas schedule... We just couldn't get enough attention from them to solve that problem", Rein said.
"Worst case scenario is, we port them and we put them through certification and we put them up as downloadable content," Rein added.
"That's the worse case scenario. Hopefully between now and whenever it is we ship on Xbox 360, we figure out a user-managed way to do it."

From the Midway press area comes a bunch of new UT3 screenshots, some of which you will have seen before, some of which are new. The two screenshots at the end are taken from an article on the official UK Xbox 360 magazine site, presumably from the 360 version of the game.
