infinitevalence writes "Every few months the good Viking programmers of the north organize and present one of the most geeky e-sports out there. Thanks to them, for three weekends in a row we get to watch player-controlled spaceships fight it out for accolades and unique in-game items available only to the first, second, and third place winners. This year CCP has all of the content live online and streaming in HD for your viewing pleasure. So find a drink, whip up some snacks, watch the shiny explosions, and listen to the soothing words of player experts as they walk you through the action!"

Ubisoft's Authentication Servers Go Down 634

ZuchinniOne writes "With Ubisoft's fantastically awful new DRM you must be online and logged in to their servers to play the games you buy. Not only was this DRM broken the very first day it was released, but now their authentication servers have failed so absolutely that no-one who legally bought their games can play them. 'At around 8am GMT, people began to complain in the Assassin's Creed 2 forum that they couldn't access the Ubisoft servers and were unable to play their games.' One can only hope that this utter failure will help to stem the tide of bad DRM."

It would be nice to find out who/what is REALLY behind the accounts being pulled. Although I could hazard a guess... And who said "any publicity is good publicity'? I bet he wasn't a scientologist.

no0b writes "Guy Hands the new head honcho over at EMI must have had a nice whack upside his haid with the ClueStick : The new owner of EMI, Britain's largest music group, has warned that the industry will not survive if it continues to rely on CD sales alone. "The recorded music industry... has for too long been dependent on how many CDs can be sold," he wrote. "Rather than embracing digitalisation and the opportunities it brings for promotion of product and distribution through multiple channels, the industry has stuck its head in the sand." The story is here and the link to Radiohead generation believes music is free is a related good read. I wonder if he'll take the ClueStick to next meeting of the RIAA?"
