Like you, I sit in front of the computer for hours on end. Let’s say I get on the computer at 9am. By the time I finish blogging or w/e by 9 or 10pm, my eyes are a mess. Blurry vision and dry, dry eye balls. Do you experience this? Should I use eye drops? I think it might be because I wear contacts, and I probably should get glasses for when I’m blogging (to let the ol’ eyes breathe). I don’t really get headaches or whatnot, but man, my eyes get really really tired…

Fable 2 is a big game. And big games take time. But Peter Molyneux has been talking about Fable 2 for a while now, so that probably means it’s almost done by now. No, not even close. But it’s supposed to be out in 2008, we say. Lionhead Studios community liaison Sam Van Tilburgh reports: It’s nowhere near finished. Think about that for a second. It is not finished. So yes, the game will look at least a gazillion times better than anything you’ve seen of Fable 2 so far.
The Limited Edition Halo 3 Wireless Controllers and Headset and the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit both hit on Sept. 4, Microsoft announced today.
The wireless controllers, which feature Covenant Brute and Master Chief art by Todd McFarlane, sell for $US60 a pop. The Spartan green and gold wireless headset also sells for $US60.
The Xbox 360 Messenger Kit includes a backlit Chatpad that pops on to the bottom of your controller and a special headset that attaches to it. The two sell for $US30, which seems like a pretty great price to me.

Pro wrestling? Eeehhhhhh. Little too “manly” for my liking. But amatuer wrestling? Love it. Love the enthusiasm, love the humour, love the fact there are this many gaming-themed wrestlers out there. Especially ones with special moves like “Contra Code” and “Insert Cartridge”. Filed At MTV News: Pro Wrestlers Who Use The “Contra Code” And The Power Glove In The Ring — Really! [MTV]
Sure, you read that Tekken 5 was available for download. Puzzle Fighter, too. Think that’s the last of the PlayStation store updates for today? No way, Sony have gone DOWNLOAD CRAZY. Three demos are also now up: Tiger Woods 2008, All-Pro Football 2K8 and NASCAR 08. Don’t like sports? There’s some Heavenly Sword vids (the latest animated episode and the making of the latest animated episode), a Folklore trailer, a Jericho trailer and movie trailers for Beowulf and…Bee Movie. OK, so that’s not DOWNLOAD CRAZY, more like…a somewhat generous offering. What’s New in the PLAYSTATION Store? [PlayStation.Blog]
The best thing about last year’s Final Fantasy potion was not the potion. The potion was gross. The best thing was the blue bottle it came in! This October, the FF Potion is back, but those blue bottles are gone. (There is a special phallic one, though!) Partnering with beverage maker Suntory, Square Enix is releasing Final Fantasy VII Potion in tin cans that feature character artwork. Collectible tin cans! That’s sooooooo early 1990′s. There’s also cans bundled with TRADING ARTS mini figures out in November; these cans will have slightly different art. Still, they are tin cans! And tin cans are blergh.
Paul Anderson, a Game Informer staffer who had been with the magazine since 1992, has passed away following a six-year battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).

Quake Wars! One day I think you’re already out, the next, I think you’re still months away. It’s one of those games. Always hearing about it, never seeing it on a shelf. Activision just let us know that it is coming, and is coming soon, with the game having just gone gold. Expect to be battling the Strogg on mega-textured maps on September 28 if you’re in Europe or Australia, or October 2 if you’re in North America. Press release saying everything I just said but with over-enthusiastic quotes follows.
