Dragon Age 2 Announced 183

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday July 08, 2010 @12:46PM from the enchantment?-enchantment! dept.

Today BioWare announced a sequel to Dragon Age: Origins, titled Dragon Age 2. They've opened an official site for the game, which shares some vague details and concept art, and promises a trailer in mid-August. The story will apparently span an entire decade and involve a new hero, but it will be located in the same world as the original game. The site says there will be "dynamic new combat mechanics," though the same three basic classes will be available. More information should be forthcoming in this month's issue of Game Informer.

Heroes of Newerth Open Beta About To Start 118

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday March 31, 2010 @03:30AM from the getting-closer dept.

You may recall last summer when we discussed Heroes of Newerth, a title from S2 Games that's based on the popular Defense of the Ancients mod from Warcraft III. We passed out some closed beta keys, and there seemed to be a ton of interest, in part due to the fact that they have a Linux client. Well, if any of you missed it or want to see how the game has progressed since then, now is your chance — the open beta begins tonight (March 31). There's a countdown on the sign-up page that shows when you can register.

Yellowstone Supervolcano Larger Than First Thought 451

drewtheman writes "New studies of the plumbing that feeds the Yellowstone supervolcano in Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park shows the plume and the magma chamber under the volcano are larger than first thought and contradicts claims that only shallow hot rock exists. University of Utah research professor of geophysics Robert Smith led four separate studies that verify a plume of hot and molten rock at least 410 miles deep that rises at an angle from the northwest."

Funny story time.

Recently a friend, who works construction laying cement, got called up for jury duty. This was actually and really a hardship for him; while his nice union dues cover him in many areas, they do not for jury duty. Losing tons of money every day, he was doing everything he could to get out of there.

He says he saw the best thing he could of done was get his old Metallica "Ride the Lightning" concert T-shirt. He says the guy that already knew to wear it, got out of there in record time.
