Check it out, CNN and the AP picked up the story about Sony Online Entertainment's new joint venture with Pizza Hut. We ranted about Everquest 2 incorporating /pizza into the game last week in this entry.

Aw hell, it makes me wish I did this story as a stringer instead of posting here ... I could have make a few bucks. Ah well, easy come, easy go... now where is that /pizza and b33r?

Now this is bloody brilliant. The people over at Sony Online Entertainment have brought gaming sloth to a whole new level.

In the middle of a mad hunt in Everquest 2 and hunger pains got you down? Don't despair, just take yourself away from bashing orcs in the head for a second and type /pizza in the command console. A new browser window will pop up within seconds and you can type in a Pizza Hut order to be delivered to your door. Read more about it here.

Granted I have been ordering my Papa John's pizza online for a few months now, but to integrate it into the game itself... now that is slick/sick marketing!

Grab the l33t pizza of tummy filling and don't forget the m4g!c b33r +1! Go for the b33r!

Microsoft announced Thursday that it will recall over 14 million power cords for the Xbox game console. The recall covers all Xboxes manufactured for Europe before Jan. 13, 2004 and the rest of the world before Oct. 23, 2003. All Xboxes manufactured after these dates were redesigned to avoid the issue.

Apparently original Xbox power supply/cord design is a fire hazard due. Microsoft claims that the risk is fewer than 1 in 10,000.

If you have an Xbox, go to the Xbox website and request a new power cord. Microsoft is replacing the cords free of charge. You will need the serial number and manufacture date off of your console, so be sure to have that handy.
