Lump of coal: Watchmen maybe delayed??

Well here's some shitty Christmas news: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/25/business/media/25fox.html?_r=2

Apparently the rights to the Watchmen movie were just awarded to Fox (the movie is being made by WB). I knew there was a some issue regarding whether Fox actually owned the rights to a movie version of The Watchmen, but I never really gave it much thought.

Basically this means that WB can do whatever they want with the movie. Seeing that there is a ton of hype for the movie, I really see no reason why they wouldn't want to go forward with the release as planned. From what I hear, they had a pretty crappy year of new releases (as far as revenue is concerned), and this would be a good way to help balance the books. What I'm more worried about is whether or not the negotiations between WB and Fox regarding how to split profits, among other things, will push the release date back. I am hopeful that they will get a deal done quickly and the movie will be released as planned. I've already seen some people say that a delay is quite possible though.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see....







In other news, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Castle Crashers Fixed!

http://www.giantbomb.com/news/castle-crashers-patch-headed-your-way/708/

So Castle Crashers if finally getting its much needed patch.. err... i mean 'Title Update' tm. This is the much needed fix that should get rid of the stupid saving problems and the other glitchs that we experianced. This game is one of my favorites for the year, and is by far the best live arcade game out there, but isn't this a little late? I mean the game came out during the summer of arcade games or whatever that promotion was called. We played and beat the game a couple of months ago? Do you think this is going to make a differance. Were people putting off buying the game until this fix came out? This seems like something that should have been done months ago. Kind of dropped the ball i think. Anyways.. perhaps the online connectivity will finally work and we can try to play through on the harder difficulty?

On a side note... Iloved this game and can't wait for the next game by this developer. Would you guys like to see a new game or a Castle Crashers 2?
