ELECTRONIC ARTS

FALL 2009

 

Electronic Arts announced this new tween line of games by parading a bunch of girls onstage at the company's E3 press conference and having them compete in a Nintendo Wii game to see who could tease their virtual girl's hair the fastest. Whoever had the biggest teased pouf at the end of the allotted time won. It represents the continuation of a disturbing trend among several game companies that seem to think girls can only play games with hair, makeup and clothes. There were at least two publications at E3 that are solely dedicated to girls who play video games, and they were much more interested in Rock Band, Assassin's Creed 2 and the new Halo game than some stupid, hair-teasing, hearts and stickers game. The truly sad thing is that mothers are actually buying these games for their daughters.

Homeless in Boston

By weeklydig on Fri, Feb 5, 2010 3:50 pm

Our office is directly across from the Pine Street Inn so we have our fair share of homeless wanderers in the neighborhood. Occasionally they come into our building and hang out on the stairs or even, like just the other day, come into our office and move into our bathroom. It's worst when it's really cold and I always feel torn about booting these folks. Life must be hard enough. But at the some time...get the hell out of my office! What would you do?

Please note: This is written by our beloved Art Director, who will be blogging from Sundance this week. (I'm just the copy and pasting monkey.) -CB

 

I never expected to end up volunteerig at the Sundance film festival. I wanted to do it, but life always seems to come up. Well, here I am, six days into the fest, finally reporting to the beloved Dig readers.
