I’m really looking forward to this game, it might disappoint but the in-game trailers (not this one) make it look great.
(via New Batman: Arkham Asylum dev diary gives Batman a terrible evening)
As Rocksteady’s Sefton Hill and Paul Dini eagerly explain in the video above, Batman: Arkham Asylum is a game about torturing Batman. Okay, okay, maybe not directly, but by way of Joker setting up a nasty ruse for Gotham’s greatest hero at Arkham Asylum itself. Trapping Mr. Wayne inside with all of his most fearsome enemies, when he thought he was just stopping by to deposit a criminal, leaves him at the mercy of the now-in-control Joker.From what we played of the game’s campaign back at E3, we’re not sure exactly how Eidos/Warner Bros. plan to keep the game’s T rating, as evidenced by the few gameplay snippets you see in the developer diary above. We are, however, surprisingly excited for the game’s release in late August — and glad we don’t have to bring along Mom to buy us the game.

Reminds me of the looped glass bridge at the grand canyon.
(via You Have Got To Be Kidding Me: Sears Tower Unveils Glass Balconies on 103rd Floor)
The Sears Tower opened “The Ledge” to the public today. The Ledge is a 4-foot glass balcony that’s suspended 1,353 above the ground on the 103rd floor. It provides a panoramic view of Chicago, provided the walls aren’t covered in accidents. Fun fact: urine spilled from the 103rd floor can break concrete on the sidewalk below. And not just if you drank a jackhammer, but it helps. Hit the jump for a couple more of the NO I AM NOT AFRAID OF HEIGHTS.

Sears Tower unveils glass balconies on Skydeck [yahoonews] Thanks to FDSY, who isn’t afraid of heights, but is afraid of towers. Weird.
Maybe this would be better served in a FW: FW: FW: email thread but I thought this should be kept for internally on my blog…

Not a great game but using the compass to control a view in a game is sweet.

This thing looks awesome. It’s a battle for second place for the Pre and HTC Android devices.
(via HTC Hero running Android and Sense UI leaks from HTC’s own website (updated, official, video))
As we prepare for HTC’s official launch event today, we’re starting to see some details appear on HTC’s own website of the much rumored Hero. Through some URL trickery, we’ve managed to unearth several details that confirm the previous rumors. Hero includes the new HTC Sense widget-based interface that puts at-a-glance info right up front on the home screen where it belongs. A new Scenes profile feature lets you transform your phones focus from business to weekend mode. Viewing your contacts shows the usual data in addition to the interactions you’ve had through social networking status updates and photos from the likes of Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, and Twitter. A dedicated search button searches the phone as well as services like Twitter. In fact, like Palm’s Pre, the HTC Hero seems ready to fully integrate your local data with all your subscribed social media sites. The biggest deal here, however, might just be that HTC is touting this as the first Android device to support Flash out of the box.
Inside you’ll find Qualcomm’s MSM7200A proc running Android at 528MHz, 512MB/288MB ROM/RAM, 3.2-inch TFT-LCD with 320 x 480 pixel rez, 900/2100MHz HSPA and Quad-band GSM, trackball, GPS, 802.11b/g WiFi, 3.5mm audio jack, G-sensor, compass, and 5 megapixel auto-focus cam with microSD expansion. It’s all there baby. The White version of the device has an industry-first Teflon coating (right, just like your pans) to keep things clean and grime free. Multi-touch and anti-fingerprint coating too. Hero arrives in Europe in July with T-Mobile and Orange, Asia later in the summer, and North America even later in 2009. Stay tuned for a full hands-on, but for now, enjoy the press shots in the gallery below and the new video after the break!Read – Product page

@alexkingorg Nice, I played my first round in 2 months and had a quad and a triple. At least I split them with an eagle :). #golf in reply to alexkingorg 9 mins ago
