Arbitrator: Nintendo Has No Right to WiiU.com
Jul 1st 2013, 15:27

Did you know that WiiU.com doesn't belong to Nintendo? It's true. The WHOIS for the site shows a group in Massachusetts as the owner, which is why Nintendo filed a suit at the World Intellectual Property Organization to try and get it back.

As detailed on Fusible, WIPO has denied the complaint. WiiU.com "will stay with its current owner," according to the site. That owner isn't affiliated with Nintendo. Interestingly, the domain was first secured in 2004.

Under the Dome: King Asks Fans to Accept Changes
Jul 1st 2013, 15:46

Whenever a TV show or movie is adapted from another medium, there are some changes along the way – and some fans upset by those changes. Last week, CBS debuted Under the Dome to great ratings, but, unsurprisingly, some fans of the Stephen King book its based on are already grumbling about differences from the source material. But one person who thinks you should be okay with those differences is… Stephen King.

On his website, King has King has written a new blog post about Under the Dome, noting that no matter what, his book is still his book and available to read in its original form. As King puts it, "If you loved the book when you first read it, it's still there for your perusal. But that doesn't mean the TV series is bad, because it's not. In fact, it's very good."

When Celebrities Play Themselves...
Jul 1st 2013, 09:13

This week sees the release of This Is The End, the not-enormously-high concept comedy in which Seth Rogen, James Franco and their A-list buddies play themselves as prima donna actors sheltering from the apocalypse. It's a prime example of the fun actors can have when they're cast as themselves – it offers them a chance to poke fun at their own public persona, or alternatively, send themselves up with a wink and a smile. Sometimes it's a chance to change their image, but usually it's just a chance to have a laugh. Here are the 10 funniest examples of actors playing themselves...

Here's a great example of an actor turning his public image on its head. The real Neil Patrick Harris is a triple-threat: an all-singing, all-dancing, gay actor with a penchant for show tunes. The NPH of the Harold & Kumar movies is about as far removed from Doogie Howser as possible: a pill-popping, hard-drinking, skirt-chasing animal who'll steal your car and leave you for dead if it'll get him to the party quicker. Harris used the momentum of his Harold & Kumar role to land him the part of ladykiller Barney in TV sitcom How I Met Your Mother, where he continues to lead a double life: an expert 'swordsman' on screen, a devoted father and husband off it.

IGN AU Pubcast 73: Refused Classification
Jul 1st 2013, 07:48

So, Saints Row IV and State of Decay have been refused classification in Australia. Both in the space of 24 hours, no less. How about that? The first games to fail to qualify for the new R18+ rating since it was introduced. Proscribed drug use aside, the real offender here is, of course, Saints Row IV's alien anal-probe.

That said, isn't it a little hard to demand to be treated like adults while you're having a tantrum over the loss of a dildo-sword designed to be rammed up people's buttocks?

Join Cam, Luke, Jem and Baker while they discuss the, er, ins-and-outs of this debate.

Innuendo! Innuendo!
