It’s a WET September

Bethesda announced today that the Artificial Mind and Movement-developed acrobatic action title WET they picked up the publishing rights for this April has been pinned down for a September 15th release in North America. In the game, players will step into the shoes of the ladder sliding, wall running, kicking and flipping, Eliza Dushku-voiced heroine and utilize her dual pistols and samurai sword while in search of a man who left her for dead.

Runway Model and Newscaster (The Britannica Blog “Guide” to Careers)

Seldom does a single video highlight how not to do two careers, but this one manages just that.  So here’s how  not to perform as a professional newscaster and runway model: Each Saturday we highlight a humorous and sometimes poignant video, interview, comic, or skit concerning different professions and pastimes.  From W.C. Fields to Rowan Atkinson, from classic films and commercials to Monty Python —all and everything will be tapped for this look each week at the way popular culture has viewed various careers and pastimes (loosely defined).  Some of the videos will carry a message, many are plain silly, and while most of them are obvious creatures of their time, all will share a common interest in making us laugh (and occasionally think).

Assassin’s Creed II equally lean, but definitely more mean

As you may already know, Assassin’s Creed II ’s Ezio will possess a few new skills his crusades-era predecessor did not, including the ability to swim and, thanks to Leonardo da Vinci’s Ornithopter, the gift of flight. But it’s not just his newfound mastery of the elements that make him a bigger badass, it’s his blood-soaked backstory. According to Kotaku , who got to tour the virtual streets of Venice with the game’s executive producer Jade Raymond , Ezio Auditore De Firenze’s viciousness stems from some serious family issues – namely, the murder of his father and brothers at the hands of the fellow Italian nobles they once called friends, an act that forced his mother and sisters into hiding and himself down a rather unorthodox, but surprisingly satisfying career path that could grant him the vengeance he desperately desires.
