Okay then, so how many months I have to wait before I can join the Justice League?
Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman will soon be major players in the world of massively multiplayer games, at least if Sony Online Entertainment has any say in the matter. The publisher showed a pre-alpha version of DC Universe Online, the upcoming superhero MMO for PC and PlayStation 3, at San Diego Comic-Con.
Trivium post another artwork for their new single depicting some sort of centaur warrior decapitating his enemies. Cool. So what's up with the Japanese theme, Triv? We'll I really don't care actually. I'm so going to buy their long-awaited fourth album! Can't wait until September!

Reddit Top was actually derived from Hacker Top. Hacker Top was made in such a manner that it required me just to write a new parser for Reddit to create the new program. The program is written in Python programming language and uses ncurses interface for displaying the stories.Can't wait to try it in my Powerbook!
