An undilluted flurry of silly linkage.

• The New Gamer discusses the inappropriately characterless death sequences of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: Legend. Morbid but interesting.
• Nintendo rep has good news regarding Wii’s online service. Free!
• Via Ryan:
  

  The police are really good at understanding ’someone stole my credit card and ran up a lot of money.’
  It’s a lot harder to get them to buy into ‘someone stole my magic sword.’

  Indeed.

• Pretty cool gaming T-shirts.
• Coolest site of the day: Tiny, tiny Wolfenstein.
• I know it was announced a while back, but man oh man. So sweet.
• Have you seen the cyclops baby? Warning: The pic is kind of disturbing, so don’t click if you’re not into being disturbed.
• Nik and I went to see Miami Vice over the weekend (It was pretty disappointing, really). But there were about 46 previews before the movie started, some of which got me pretty amped for the fall movie season. Specifically, Crank (Jason Stratham rules), The Black Dahlia (new noir!), The Departed (cops and robbers by Scorsese) and The Prestige (scary magic tricks!).
• I’m starting my annual Fantasy Football league. If you didn’t get an invite and are interested in joining, fire over your email address and I’ll make sure you have what you need to join in. Time’s short though so don’t procrastinate (I know how that sounds coming from me, but rest assured, your haste is necessitated by my own procrastination in setting up the league so it’s still the same ol’ Paul).
