Xbox Is Top Dog and A Game Of Thrones Game - Press Pause Daily

[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 04:00:00 02/09/12
The 360 is now top dog and winter is coming to your game device. SHOW NOTES: Story 1: The Xbox 360 has been PRETTY dominant this console cycle, and now it has finally become the top selling console IN THE WORLD!!!! According to a story by our friends over at Destrutcoid, for the last quarter of the year, Microsoft sold 8.2 million Xbox consoles. That easily beats Sony’s total of 6.5 million and Nintendo’s 5.6 million. Total sales for the year are a bit closer, with Microsoft just edging out Sony with the 360 selling 14.9 million to the PS3’s 14.1. Now to put that in perspective though. If you look at lifetime sales, Nintendo is still the top dog with 95 million Wiis sold. But with Wii sales slowing down, Nintendo releasing the Wii U later this year, and new consoles from Sony and Microsoft STILL a few years away. It looks like there is still time for Microsoft to still become the dominant console of this generation. http://www.destructoid.com/xbox-360-is-now-the-top-selling-console-worldwide-221052.phtml Story 2: The Game of Thrones series of books are very popular, and the TV show was a BIG hit when it debut last year on HBO. Well now it seems that fans of the George R. R. Martin fantasy series have something else to occupy their time. Atlus games has announced that it will be releasing their Game of Thrones RPG on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 on May 15th. The game is being developed by Cyanide Studio, and will feature the town of Riverspring, which is dealing with the death of Lord Sarwyck. The game looks to have you playing as several different characters across parallel storylines as you deal with a threat to the kingdom of Westeros. The game will drop about a month after the second season of the TV show starts. So if you are a fan on the series, and are looking for new RPG, then it looks like this could be a perfect fit. http://www.shacknews.com/article/72316/game-of-thrones-rpg-coming-may-15 That will do it for your daily dose of Press Pause.

Elderly Civil Rights Activist Faces Foreclosure, Eviction

[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 23:00:37 02/08/12
I've lost count of the number of reports I've read in recent years of an elderly person facing the trauma of losing their home to foreclosure and being taken by ambulance to the hospital on eviction day due to the effects of stress on their physical health. Or those who would rather end their own lives rather than face the possibility of being put out on the streets in their senior years. The story of 78-year-old Helen Bailey is especially poignant this Black History Month, as she was active in the civil rights movement and marched with Martin Luther King. Change.org has started a petition calling on Chase Bank to make a settlement with Ms. Bailey, and cancel any scheduled foreclosure auction: > Helen Bailey is a 78-year-old grandmother who participated in the civil rights movement, worked as a childcare provider for autistic children, and was a community volunteer. She has paid her mortgage since 1999, but now she can't keep up the payments. All she wants is to stay in her home until she dies, in the neighborhood where she feels safe and has lived for nearly quarter of a century. She could have refinanced with a company willing to let her live in the house for free until her death, but Chase Bank would not reduce her principal by $9,000. She's been paying 7% interest, well above most rates, so Chase could have decided they had made enough. Instead, they have started foreclosure and Ms. Bailey could end on the street. Since then, Ms. Bailey's lawyer has found an alternate buyer for her home. This sale would provide Ms Bailey with an exit from her current mortgage and allow her to pursue other options for housing. We request that Chase: · accept the offer of $85,000 · write off any deficiency between the loan balance and the offer · waive all interest, legal fees and penalties accrued since the initial refinance offer · cancel any foreclosure auction scheduled It has been estimated that at foreclosure, Chase may lose over $30,000 compared to this settlement offer. Therefore this option makes the most sense financially for Chase and given Ms Bailey's specific circumstances, there is little moral hazard in this solution. If you'd like to add your name to the petition calling on Chase to keep Ms. Bailey in her home, you may do so online here .

Rock n Roll TV ... the music news for you from me. Hosted by Share Ross. This episode - Puddle of Mud's Wes Scantlin arrested; Black Sabbath reunion not quite the same; Jack White solo album and no to Newt. Puddle of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin was arrested last month after police discovered narcotics on him. He was pulled over for a traffic violation, the cops found pills and some sort of powdery substance in his possession. Wes seems to be having a rough time of things. He owes about $45,000 in back taxes to the feds and an additional $17,000 to the State of California and is in the process of getting divorced from his super hot wife. The Black Sabbath reunion is making headlines again. Drummer Bill Ward issued a public statement advising fans that he will not participate in the band's reunion unless he is presented with an agreement that reflects his contributions to the group's success and longevity. Basically… he said he ain't getting what he feels is a fair share of the Sabbath money pie and that he deserves better than what the band management have offered him. The other three members have responded publicly saying.. they are sorry to hear he feels that way… the door is open.. but they are carrying on without him with Rick Rubin in Birmingham while guitarist tony Iommi is also battling cancer. Madonna is furious over M.I.A. flipping the bird during her Superbowl set. Beyonce and Jay-Z have applied for a trademark for their baby's name blue ivy. The Jack White solo album Blunderbuss will debut in April. Motorcycle fan Billy Joel surprised the crowd at a Miami vintage bike fair by riding up on his motorcycle and then jumping on the stage to jam with a local band. ------------------------- WHATEVER Spice Girls are reuniting this year! Justin Bieber's bodyguard punched out a paparazzi photographer at LAX. -------------------------- You'd think these politicians would learn by now. Newt Gingrich is being sued for having used Eye of the Tiger are his campaign rallies. Wake up you GOP music thieving bastards… you can't just use any music you want to walk on stage.
