You know you’ve reached the zenith of online popularity and fame when you are immortalised in a game. It just happened to that Red Shirt Guy who corrected Blizzard on their own World of Warcraft law; he has now, apparently, asked them to remove his immortalising dwarf representation (called Wildhammer Fact Checker) because it didn’t fit with WoW law.

I loved LittleBigPlanet and I love Sackboy – he’s just so gosh-darn cute you can’t help loving him. One thing I love more, however, is the decidedly dark but fascinating LIMBO.

Today is the 67th birthday of Sir Mick Jagger – the rubber-lipped frontman of the hardest working rock ‘n roll band, who seems to be made almost entirely out of wrinkles. It’s also the 37th birthday of Kate Beckinsale – the leather-clad vampire Death Dealer who seems to be made almost entirely out of sexy. Here’s the news we didn’t …
