ZOMG!!! Soulja Boy Wants To Make Games!!
Rap impressario Soulja Boy is our greatest national resource. The platinum selling artist has renewed the hopes of a nation with his inspirational "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" song and probably some other songs as well. Now that he's both captured the pop charts and superman'ed dat ho, He wants to make video games!
According to the video below on JoyStiq, Soulja Boy says he "Wants to get into things like video game design and web site design." He also wants to go to college, but he sadly "can't experience that right now because I'm a superstar."
Soulja Boy also pronounces Barack Obama's name as "Barack Obamo," which is cool. XD

Space Experts Plead With UN For Asteroid Plan
In an address to the UN recently, the Association of Space Explorers pleaded with the international body of leaders to develop an asteroid impact plan so that if we see one coming, the world can pool its resources and come up with an answer before it strikes.
Sure, it's been 65 million years since an impact supposedly removed the friendly and cuddly creatures known as the dinosaurs, and just recently there was talk about the Apophis asteroid, which in 2004 was said to have a 1 in 37 chance of hitting the earth. It was later refuted with more research but it is certainly a reality that we may need to face someday.
NASA is watching 209 "near earth objects" and the advancement of telescope technology is moving at such a clip as to create newer and better ways to survey the sky for moving objects. Still, Astronaut Rusty Schweickart of the Apollo 9 mission stated that, "Until we have a response in place, we're as vulnerable as the dinosaurs."

'Guitar Hero' Studio Won't Allow Covers
If you're waiting for Guitar Hero World Tour to come out at the end of October because you plan on using the game's studio feature to create and share covers of your favorite rock songs, sorry, man. It's not going to happen.
It's simple really, since you don't own the rights to the songs, you can't record a version for distribution on Guitar Hero World Tour. You'll just have to work on your own material.

Here's Activision's Brian Bright explaining to 1up.com:
"We'll be actively monitoring the site. And, obviously, if the copyright holder
complains, Activision will pull it down immediately. We can't condone people
putting up covers of music. It's really there for original content."
Bright also touches on some abandoned ideas that would have been awesome, including a huge drum solo feature where skin-bangers could rock-out impromptu in the middle of songs, and "Jam Over " where you could play over any of the songs in the game's music studio.
Guitar Hero World Tour comes out on the PS2, PS3, 360, PC, and Wii on October 26th.

A-Space: A social network for spies
Agents for the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency are testing a social networking site designed for use by analysts within the 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, according to a report on CNN's Web site. Instead of posting thoughts on music and movies, the agents use the site -- called A-Space -- to share information on terrorist activities and troop movements around the world.
"It's every bit Facebook and YouTube for spies, but it's much, much more," Michael Wertheimer, assistant deputy director of National Intelligence for Analysis, told CNN. "It's a place where not only spies can meet but share data they've never been able to share before. This is going to give them for the first time a chance to think out loud, think in public amongst their peers, under the protection of an A-Space umbrella."
The information posted to the new social network is highly classified and won't be accessible by the general public, CNN reported. Access will be limited to intelligence personnel with the proper security clearance and a reason to be examining particular information. A-Space's creators don't want the network to become a gold mine of sensitive information for future double agents.

I am currently being represented by this individual.
CHICAGO - An attorney has been suspended for more than a year for accepting nude dances from a stripper as partial payment for the legal fees she owed him.
Erwin, who practices in the northern Illinois city of DeKalb, and his client mutually agreed that she'd perform nude dances for him in his office as a way to reduce her legal fees, the commission's report said. He credited her for $534 toward his bill for services of various legal matters, the report said.
While she agreed to the performances, the client contended he touched her inappropriately during those dances, and she went to police in 2002 with sexual assault allegations.

30 Rock's latest celebrity guest star... OPRAH!
Back in April, when Tina Fey was gearing up for the return of "30 Rock" after the writers strike, she had one dream guest star on her mind.
"I still want Oprah to play my best friend," she said then. "I feel like I haven't -- I want to spend time with Oprah, and I don't know what I need to do to make that happen."
"I still want Oprah to play my best friend," she said then. "I feel like I haven't -- I want to spend time with Oprah, and I don't know what I need to do to make that happen."
Fey must have figured it out, because Winfrey has now made a guest appearance on the show, and NBC has scheduled the episode for Nov. 6. That's one week after the "30 Rock's" season premiere.
Winfrey filmed her long-buzzed-about guest spot over the weekend in New York. Details on just what Winfrey will be doing on the show are scant, though Fey says Oprah "was very funny."

'Metal Gear Solid Existence' Emerges
Hinting on another title featuring the legendary soldier, a new project named Metal Gear Solid Existence emerged from Konami's trademark database.
According to SiliconEra, Konami has also registered the title Existence alone, without the Metal Gear Solid 4 precursor. Just like Kojima's masterpieces, very little is known about this project, but it may indicate an unveiling at this year's Tokyo Game Show, starting this October 9 through 12. Perhaps Existence could point to yet another Metal Gear Solid title expansion, similar to Metal Gear Sold 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistance. All I Know is another MGS game would be pretty damn awesome.
