American McGee is arguably famous for his first name or maybe the odd combination of his first and last names. Tacked onto a version of Alice set in an underground nightmare wonderland, it made the game an actual object of interest– interest that it really couldn’t sustain.

Basically American McGee was a level designer and the general wackiness he’s brought to his games isn’t particularly interesting and basically lame compared to some real wackiness like Serious Sam. After some lame attempts at modestly denying the hype, American McGee tried to exploit the publicity after Alice and got nowhere fast. He had a funny name but he couldn’t make great games.

His attempt to follow up on Alice in Wonderland with Oz– a concept so predictable it was almost snoozeworthy, went nowhere. Scrapland was a dismal failure. Bad Day L.A. was like Postal with a 60 IQ and betrayed American McGee’s Hollywood obsession because Hollywood is ultimately where American McGee is far more at home and where he belongs.

After 7 long pointless years, American McGee crawls back out with American McGee’s Grimm Tales. I’m guessing there will be a lot of jumping and ominous fairy tale art involved.

Eleven-year-old Jamison Stone of Alabama became the darling of a slow news cycle when over the Memorial Day weekend news agencies across the country published a photo of the apple-cheeked boy grinning over the gigantic carcass of a 10-foot boar.

“We’ve gotten a lot of negative e-mail,” Mike Stone told ABCNEWS.com. “People have said they want to see my boy killed in a hunting accident and gutted like a pig.”

In the negative comments section of their Web site, monsterpig.com, one angry visitor wrote: “Hurry up and enlist in the Army, I want to see you chased and shot at. And maybe beheaded on video for us to see. … I will laugh while eating my veggie burger.”

And they say it’s us meat eaters who are the violent types. I mean granted I think the giant pig would be somewhat cooler alive then sprawled over dead in the dirt. I would much rather see it wild or in a zoo but I can’t deny that there’s a certain primordial thrill to killing something that big either. And it’s a pretty sick person that wants to see an 11 year old die in favor of a giant pig.

Nevertheless, the idea of an 11-year-old chasing a boar on a fenced-in hunting ground for three hours and shooting it nine times with a handgun has many asking questions about the ethics of letting children hunt.

Well forget the ethics, there’s the damned common sense question of it. If that’s how it went down, the father was guilty of downright negligence. A kid chasing even a normal size boar with a handgun is downright insane and incredibly negligent and a matter for the courts.

PeTA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, gave Stone the Worst Dad in the Country Award “for not only teaching his son how to kill but also doing further harm by showing him how to make animals suffer.”

And PETA needs an award for frightening kids and teaching them that their parents are evil and that milk will kill them.

There’s a lot of self-righteous handwringing over the Allison Stokke case. At the Chicago Tribune, the interestingly named Steve Johnson wrote that, “There is the Internet we might want, and then there is the Internet we’ve got… The Internet we might want, meanwhile, is a vast repository of knowledge and a means of connecting disparate people and showing off great work. That one is out there, too, but it’s sometimes hard to hear and see it beneath all the lewdness and the sniggering.”

This is the kind of twaddle we thought we had had enough of during the early days of the internet’s popularity when all the columnists rushed to inform us that the internet wasn’t living up to their expectations, which were apparently halfway between the Library of Alexandria and Oxford.

Is the internet that we want really, “a vast repository of knowledge”? The simple reality is that the internet is many things to many people. For that matter it’s many things to a single person. For one person it might be a vast repository of knowledge and then some sniggering and leering over lunch and then maybe a good game online and then a flame war and then back to the knowledge.

Saying that the internet should be “a vast repository of knowledge” is like saying that our lives should be limited to learning and being high minded. We aren’t. We’re human beings and we like to do the occasional leering and sniggering and if attractive pictures of attractive women come up, we might leer at them too. But in a high minded “vast repository of knowledge” sort of way.

The reality of the Allison Stokke case isn’t that the internet is evil but that we need laws to control the commercial and non-commercial use of photos taken of people for whom rights have not been transferred. A person depicted visibly in a photo should have rights to their image unless they have legally sold or transferred those rights. Photos of underage children are the property of their parents.

It may not stop an Allison Stokke style photo explosion but the reality is that talking to the Washington Post about it only increases the attention she’s getting. I had never heard of Allison Stokke before the Washington Post story. Millions more have now heard of her. Far more than were aware of her while her photo was being passed around. Aside from having an oddly spelled last name Allison Stokke is now more famous than ever. If she really thinks that’s a bad thing, well she won’t be famous for long if she doesn’t want to be. There’s no shortage of attractive women out there. All telling the story to the Post has done is dragged out Allison Stokke’s 15 minutes of fame.

Allison Stokke’s photo isn’t naked, she’s dressed as she chose to dress for a public event. She isn’t nude and she has nothing to be ashamed of. The attention might be uncomfortable for her but if she ever chooses to compete professionally, Allison Stokke will have to get used to it.

When Wes Craven announced his intention to remake his very first feature film, The Last House on the Left, people sat up and took notice. However, Wes Craven didn’t have a writer or a director in place that met with his approval. That has changed now, as Craven has found both a writer and director.

Yeah who would have thought that Wes Craven could find another director to stick on another direct to video project with his own name stamped all over it in bright red letters. I guess we can expect to see “WES CRAVEN PRESENTS LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT directed by Dennis Illadis” any time soon.

Dennis Iladis has one movie under his belt so clearly he’s qualified to remake it and in the age of Hostel and Captivity, all you really need is girls, some fake gore and you have instant torture porn. Last House on the Left was repugnant when it was first filmed and all the defenses that it was a remake of Bergman’s Secret Spring have never washed. Last House on the Left was exploitation and sexploitation disguised as moral filmmaking and moral examination.

Variety reports that Wes Craven has plans to see the remake of Last House on the Left contain the same vibe as the original film. However, Craven hopes this film will have a bit more realism than his 1972 original. “The first one was arch — especially in relation to the killers.” The 1972 original tells the story of a group of killers who inadvertently seek refuge at the home of the parents of one of their victims.

Ah more realism. I’m guessing that means more dead bodies, more torture and more gore.

Apple’s new DRM-free music: songs sold without DRM still have a user’s full name and account e-mail embedded in them, which means that dropping that new DRM-free song on your favorite P2P network could come back to bite you.

We started examining the files this morning and noticed our names and e-mail addresses in the files, and we’ve found corroboration of the find at TUAW, as well. But there’s more to the story: Apple embeds your account information in all songs sold on the store, not just DRM-free songs. Previously it wasn’t much of a big deal, since no one could imagine users sharing encrypted, DRMed content. But now that DRM-free music from Apple is on the loose, the hidden data is more significant since it could theoretically be used to trace shared tunes back to the original owner.

This is actually pretty troubling to begin with. Forget P2P, user information is supposed to be confidential. Now anyone tossing out a computer or iPod with songs on it, is also tossing out personal identifying information. And you have to wonder if that’s all that Apple embeds in there.

This isn’t a P2P issue since there’s after all numerous ways files can leak from your computer. Just ask any girl who has found personal photos or videos of herself online that were supposed to be private, e.g. Libby Hoeler. Considering the amount of people who can get access to your files, from the repair geeks at Best Buy to anyone who sits down for 5 minutes at your computer. After all it only takes an MP3 player to serve as a portable flash drive and siphon off data from your computer (this by the way is a significant security hole, in bygone ages you would have to sit around with a disk or carry them around, today all you need is to sit down with your MP3 player and you can walk away with gigabytes of data in minutes)

Granted the RIAA probably won’t accept that as an excuse but it’s nonetheless the reality, particularly for anyone who has roommates or lives in a dorm, which makes their computers very nearly public access.

But if P2P was the real issue, Apple could substitute a user number for email and name that would be assigned to each user and could be used to identify the individual who purchased a song.

Gotta say smart move guys. NewsCorp picked up MySpace and made back the money tenfold. Photobucket is a good investment if only because when MySpace goes downhill and turns into the next Friendster, NewsCorp will continue cashing in by exploiting Facebook’s good widget and photos integration policies to make money off Photobucket.

There’s really no other point in buying Photobucket since they could simply integrate a good image service into MySpace built from scratch by a few rogue dotcommers for a fraction of the cost. The point of buying Photobucket is as a hedge against the coming day when MySpace becomes an abandoned hasbeen, much like so many dot com trends that have come before.

Of course after Photobucket swallowed and digested Tinypic, leaving not a trace of what had formerly been a convenient and easy to use site when you wanted to upload a picture, I have rather little use for Photobucket. I have enough passwords and accounts to remember as it is. I don’t need another one and Webshots AllYouCanUpload is a free, easy, reliable and great alternative to Photobucket or the Tinypic that sadly once was but now is no more.

Well I’ve got to say that Smallville continues screwing with Superman canon but it’s not always or entirely in a bad way. I have to say that I have generally mixed reactions to the finale.

Having the Martian Manhunter be some sort of detective for Jor El seems to dilute the character a bit but also makes him relevant to the overall storyline. That said if Jor El could send the Martian Manhunter to watch over Clark Kent, that suggests he had a lot more room to plan an escape. He managed to send Kara out and now the Martian Manhunter too, as well as apparently spend a good deal of time on earth himself.

Surprisingly it was a phantom zoner who was the key villain of the season finale, rather than Lex Luthor, almost a cheat of sorts, but I assume they’re saving Lex Luthor’s villainy until the season 7 finale when Michael Rosenbaum will be departing the series for good. Assuming Smallville lasts past Season 7, I presume they’ll find the usual way to explain things.

Then we have Bizarro Superman. Bizarro Superman was usually dumb but well meaning. He might destroy a house because in his backwards dimension, that’s just how you did things. By contrast Bizarro Superman in Smallville is a Phantom Zoner who can absorb DNA and goes around possessing spooky little kids and tearing people’s guts out. It’s unclear why he tears people’s guts out in the first place. There doesn’t seem to be a particular reason for it. Maybe on his planet tearing someone’s guts out is their way of saying, “Hi, Nice to Meet You.” Who knows.

All told it’s not bad but I assume by Season 7 episode 1, Clark will find some way to banish him back using some portal, just as he managed to do with Zod and his followers. He’s had it ridiculously easy until now. It’s unclear if the Kryptonite actually makes Bizarro Superman toxic to Clark too. That should be interesting.

My first view of Google Maps Street View worked well enough. With little effort streets could be found and even some streets not on the map could be navigated. However the image quality was a whole other issue altogether. The images comes from Immersive and their quality is often very poor.

Granted the street scenes I saw may not have been representative of the overall quality of Google Maps Street View, which were overexposed or darkened, the kind of photos a little kid would take if he began pointing a cheap camera around a city block. Sunlight wiped out many features entirely and others were darkened and indistinguishable. A little work would have produced decent quality images.

But even image quality aside, the widescreen view in which Google Maps Street View is presented warps the image and the aggressive foreshortening leads to a warped effect. A distance of a few feet becomes an entire city block in this view. Many of the images were obviously shot from a car and the angle is bizarre.

All that said though Google Maps Street View is still pretty cool. The ability to walk down a street and turn around and follow street map navigation while on it is amazing. Improved image quality though is a must have and a whiteboard feature, possibly integrated into Google Talk that would allow for a guided tour is a must have.

The media has made much of a pleasant casual meeting between Rush Limbaugh and Bill Clinton. Rush Limbaugh and Bill Clinton have in turned delivered their own versions of the meeting to their followers.

“I met (conservative talk-radio host) Rush Limbaugh the other night in New York. And I was tempted, after all the terrible things he’s said about me, to tell him that we’re 99.9 percent the same. I was afraid the poor man would run weeping from the restaurant. And so I let it go.”

Now we could wonder just what Bill Clinton met here. No doubt he and Rush Limbaugh share 99 percent of the same chromosomes. They’re both extremely wealthy and overweight white males who have a lot of power. That latter might be closer to the point and that’s why Rush Limbaugh’s description of the encounter mingling in wealthy and powerful circles was at least honest. Unlike Bill Clinton, Rush Limbaugh is what he is and doesn’t need to apologize for it. At the end of the day Bill Clinton is a rich white man, who despite his Harlem office, lives in an area that has about as many black people as space aliens.

Both Clinton and Limbaugh have become very rich and powerful appealing to specific demographics and both of them have committed crimes they got away with it– despite being illegitimately targeted by their political opponents for them. In the end they’re probably more than 99 percent alike.

Possibly not the best penultimate episode of Veronica Mars as a TV series we could have asked for. Part of the problem is that while Veronica Mars is perfectly capable of playing outside the political rules when it suits them, when it comes to race, Veronica Mars follows a blind path and it insists that Weebil is a great guy– never mind that little scene in the Veronica Mars pilot where he and his gang try to gang rape Veronica at the stop. The scene is underplayed but the intent there was pretty obvious– before Backup intervened.

A Weebil episode in which he’s accused of a crime might have taken the path it took before which showed that Weebil creatively pulled it off– or it might take the P.C. route. A few minutes into the episode it becomes clear that Weebil was the innocent victim and the real criminals will be a bunch of smug rich white kids– which is par for the course on Veronica Mars. It’s also tedious and it’s been done before.

We’ve already seen One Angry Veronica. We’ve seen the show in full blown P.C. mode. But then Veronica Mars has never been that stable anyway. Remember that sorority. Was it an evil place full of drunk blondes who hand over their newest members to the lusts of the frat house? Or were they a bunch of nice, misunderstood and supportive girls? Oh wait, no turns out they do have an evil mirror and got a girl to nearly kill herself. And that’s part of the problem with Season 3. No coherence. No consistency and in the end little reason to stick around.
