Andrew Hume and Richard Clifford, the creators of Space Pirates and Zombies, detail the touch-and-go nature of its development, the inspiration for some of the ships, the pitfalls of making the game the way they made it, and what’s coming down the pike in terms of new content and a sequel. They also offer some tips and a rare bit of insight into the ecology of a space zombie. No joke. Hume explains some stuff that I had no idea was going on in this game. The term “meaty goop” is involved.
If you don’t have Space Pirates and Zombies yet, I haven’t done my job very well (this review and this column didn’t convince you?). So here’s my last shot at redemption. Post in the comments section and I’ll pick two names to receive a Steam code for a free copy at 6pm on Wednesday, October 12.

In a press release announcing that you can now pre-order The Sims 3: Pets, which includes cats, Electronic Arts writes the following:
Be sure to take care of your cat’s needs or they may scratch and dig their claws into household furniture items. Relieve their destructive nature by taking them to the cat park…
I have had cats most of my life and I have never once heard of a cat park. Although, from a cat’s perspective, I suspect every park is a cat park.
Experience cat parks on October 18th with the release of Sims 3: Pets.
If you work at Blizzard for five years, you get a sword. If you work there for ten years, you get a shield. If you work there for fifteen years, you get a ring. I am not making this up.
No word on how long you have to work there to get pauldrons.

As a guy who always keeps four Gamecube controllers and a copy of Beach Spikers within easy reach of his Nintendo Wii, I think it’s about time someone made a movie that is not just playing balls.
