coming up, but can they take the lead?

Korea's NC Soft is preparing their E3 lineup, including "City of Villains" (villainous follow-up to "City of Heroes") and "Auto Assault," a Mad Max style MMORPG with "fully destructible environments" and use of the Havok physics engine. When I saw the Havok booth at GDC four years ago, I'd never have guessed they'd get this much presence in the industry. NC Soft's booth last year was central, jumping, and full of really impressive technology and art. One year later, I'm still not hearing their name passed around as much as I'd expected.

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”?

( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
