“The other hotels around the area all have health care that is provided by the boss and have been able to get wage increases,” said Ada Briceno, president of Unite Here Local 681, which represents the workers.

“At the other hotels in the same classification, for the same work, the workers get paid $2 to $3 an hour more.”

Apparently Robert Iger is taking a play out of Michael Eisner’s book; so once you get to the top how long does it take to be corrupted again?

Wii Homebrew Dev Tool & Game Ripper – USB Gecko

Here’s an odd device I’ve heard nothing about until today, the USB Gecko. Basically I think of it like the old school Phantasy Star Online hack for the Gamecube. I couldn’t tell exactly what it is pushing, full Wii hardware access or Gamecube acces. Since most emulators and such are Gamecube dependant I’m thinking GC at the moment. It does have some great features such as the ability to rip games straight from the Wii instead of using the specific LG DVD-Roms that are now since discontinued. Also it has a pause game and screenshot utility that can help anyone without a DVD-R who likes to review games. This little device looks promsing.

Lionsgate Wants A PG-13 Punisher: War Zone?

Following up on an earlier article, one of my contacts deep within the bowels of Hollywood and close to the Punisher: War Zone project source will not be named. Sorry told me today that the big fight over the Punisher project is Lionsgate wants a PG-13 cut to be released.

PG-13 will kill this movie, there should be no figures, no costumes and no soundtrack. If they really wanted a kick ass Punisher movie shot to be unrated but hard R for the theater and unrated for the DVD. Because I doubt it possible to sell an unrated comic book inspired movie at the theater no matter how hard the fans demand.

Look at that trailer, minus the soundtrack that is some shit I want to see on the big screen and no way any of that will ever make a PG-13 cut. Step up to the plate Lionsgate, it’s the only way you won’t be remembered as being the ones to finally strike the Punisher movie franchise out.

Team Fortress 2 – Heavy Update New Weapons “Natascha”

The weapon upgrade for the Heavy is out and her name is Natascha. She does 25% less damage but slows enemies with each hit. Dunno how I feel about that, I had hoped for a tighter grouping in the fire pattern more than slowing down an enemy. We’ll have to wait and see how Natascha play tests on Tuesday.
