Eminem seems to be getting in on Soulja Boy’s music and videogaming status in this clip.

It’s a little known fact that over 100% of Left 4 Dead players have suffered at some point from the affliction that Eminem so boldly and admirably attempts to prevent. Good on you, Mr. Marshall Bruce Mathers III. Good on you.

Mr. Will Wright? Can we have a bathroom break now?

N’Gai Croal, videogame and internet writer for Newsweek magazine, has determined that since Youtube, Spore, Little Big Planet, and Wikipedia are almost completely dependent on user generated content, this makes Web (and Game) 2.0 something like the 21st century equivalent of textile mills or coal mines.
