I Wish I Could Be This Cool in Real Life

In Jetpack Joyride (iOS), you “rank up” by completing “missions,” like “Use every vehicle once” and such. (It’s a great game, by the way, and you should buy it.)

What’s the highest rank?

It’s Barry.

ModernWarfare3.com owner outed by GoDaddy

Joystiq:

Miami, Florida resident Anthony Abraham has been sitting on a very valuable URL for approximately two and a half years at this point. And though he’d hidden his identity through his URL registrant, GoDaddy.com, via its “Domains By Proxy” hiding service, a domain dispute from Modern Warfare 3 publisher Activision dissolved that shield this past weekend. Abraham is the owner of ModernWarfare3.com who has been seemingly trolling Activision for days now.

The publisher filed a domain-name dispute with the National Arbitration Forum, claiming that the site owner violates Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. Rather than stand by Abraham, GoDaddy instead lifted the electronic shroud hiding the URL registrant’s name, opening him up to direct contact with Activision (and by extension, we imagine, Activision’s legal team).

Moral of the story?

Domain privacy isn’t.

Tim Schafer’s Latest Game Pitch

I love this.

If you haven’t played a Double Fine game, you’re missing out. There are some great ones on Xbox Live Arcade, like Trenched, Stacking, and Costume Quest.

Child of Eden

Video games can be beautiful.

Maroon 5 Pack 02

Good sight-reads (includes one track that was released in the first pack but I hadn’t cleared in RB3 yet). 🙂 Chord-heavy, but generally fun to play and some decent challenge in there with the patterns.

Maroon 5 is one of those bands I enjoy listening to for reasons that aren’t quite clear even to me. I was happy to see some more tracks in the Music Store.
