 Blizzard pushed some major upgrades to World of Warcraft's Armory page today (via Massively), enabling several post-3.02 patch features on the MMORPG's character profile site. Tabs cataloging players' Achievements, in-game calendars, and ridiculously detailed general statistics have all been added to the site, allowing for easy reference -- or extra-creepy stalking -- from any internet-enabled computer.
Why would you ever need to know how many times your Warlock has hugged other players? Who knows? But you'll probably be very thankful for the new-and-improved Armory if the question ever comes up. |

 In recent months, Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification has refused classification, effectively banning, titles such as Fallout 3, Silent Hill: Homecoming, and Shellshock 2: Blood Trails. Eventually the aforementioned titles were allowed to be released, but only after edits were made. In the case of Fallout 3, those edits applied to all regions of the game.
Now, according to Gamasutra, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin has been refused classification, and the Australian Classification Board and Classification Review Board aren't saying why. Although I haven't played the game and can't speak on the potentially gory specifics, the finger is probably being pointed at "multiple scenes of dismemberment," the same reason for Silent Hill's ban. But if that's the case, how did Resident Evil 4 and Gears of War 2 slip by? We'll keep our eyes peeled to see if Warner Bros. makes the requisite changes to get their game out in Australia. |

 Fears concerning the potential of the Large Hadron Collider to end the Earth -- once dismissed as naive -- were nearly made manifest earlier this month, when a crowbar-wielding hero was forced to repel an alien invasion brought through a temporal vortex that was accidentally opened by the mammoth doomsday machine.
Okay, that didn't actually happen. But in the picture above (and the ones below), we can see the next best thing. You may recall that back in September, an anonymous CERN researcher working on the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator gained a small amount of Internet infamy when it was pointed out that he bared a striking resemblance to Half-Life hero Gordon Freeman. Since there was some concern at the time about the potential of the Large Hadron Collider to explode the world, the bloggers at Reddit took the necessary precautions by sending this researcher a few safety tools: a crowbar, a headcrab hat, and a Half-Life strategy guide. Not only did he receive this survival package, but it seems he put it to fantastic use.
