Will Wright the designer of the Sims and Spore is leaving EA after 12 years of service. The reason for Wright’s decision to leave was his desire to put more time and energy into his own company called Stupid Fun Club that he created back in 2001. Stupid Fun Club focuses on developing new and unique forms of entertainment which will include video games, toys, movies, and anything else Wright can imagine. Wright’s decision to switch gears and create different types of media stems from his observations the entertainment industry. Wright felt that the entertainment industry was moving into an “era of revolutionary change” and he wanted to be on the front lines of the revolution.
You would think EA would be upset that one of their top designers is leaving, but you would be wrong. It seems that EA is having a little money troubles (evident by EA firing over 1,000 employees) and said that Wright’s games took a lot of time and money to make. This all seems like an amicable split, but EA isn’t letting Wright off the hook so easily. EA owns the rights to develop any video game that comes from Stupid Fun Club and it seems that the two companies will work together on other projects in the future. So good luck Will Wright and I hope to see something amazing from you in the future.

An Apology to X-Men Origins: Wolverine
So I’ve been talking to a lot of people about Wolverine and about his up coming movie and I must admit I was wrong. The acting from what I saw in the previews actually wasn’t bad and including Gambit in the movie was a good idea especially since I’ve been waiting for him since X 1. And though the cameos by other mutants like Emma Frost, Banshee, and the Blob seem weird I feel that the writers will work them flawlessly into the the story. Through all my discussions (which were a lot) I eventually came to point where I could accept Wolverine as a good character. He’s not my favorite (no one beats Psylocke), but he’s definitely top 5 now.
(My words were like bullets to your good name and for that I am sorry)
April Fools!!!!
Whew, I really had you going, but don’t worry I still think Wolverine is a meh character and that his movie is going to suck.
(Thats right I shot you Wolverine and I would do it again in a heart beat.)
