Monday morning in Virgina, a 6-year-old kid misses his bus to school. What's a kid to do? He's about to be late! Well, obviously, take your family's car and get your tardy butt to the campus, of course! And that's just what the kid (name undisclosed, so we'll just call him "Lil Nicky" - you'll know why in a bit) did. Aren't kids just amazing these days? If they're not fighting battles in court to legalize hedgehogs, they're driving themselves to school.

*Update* CNN video included!

One of the more interesting appeals of Wii Fit is that it'll keep you, well, fit. Now is this just a gimmick, or has Miyamoto stumbled upon the secret to family fitness? Science wants to know.

How far would you go for your favorite video game character? This kid went all the way to court. 11-year-old Judson King was such a Sonic the Hedgehog fan that he decided he wanted the real thing - only to find out that hedgehogs were illegal in his city. What's a boy to do but take the case to court?

You gotta give props to Jack Thompson. Even a disbarment won't shut him up. The former attorney once again makes headlines after he sent an email saying that he wants to lead a movement to oust Take-Two Interactive's chairman, Strauss Zelnick.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

The rabbids want to greet you a Merry Christmas. Video after the link.

So it's the weekend, everyone's crawled off home after our QJ party part 2, and I was again voted to stay and give you guys the news. I am not bitter at all. At least, not after watching this effin new Contra movie trailer by Uwe Boll!

What happens when you keep a psycho 16-year-old from playing Halo 3? If you're the parents of Daniel Petric, you get shot. That's right, the teenage boy shot both his parents, killing his mom, leaving his dad severely injured, all because they took Halo 3 away from him. Maybe his folks were right about taking that game away from him after all.

Let's take a short break from the serious news to have a bit of a laugh. Here's the latest trailer from the upcoming Dragonball movie, which shows that you can take time off from saving the world to make sure your hair is kept nice and spiky.

Veteran actor Sigourney Weaver was recently interviewed by MTV Games to see whether she would reprise her roles in the video game adaptations of Aliens and Ghostbusters.

The answer is no. But go to the full article anyway to find out why.

Oooh, what a tease. MGS5, is that you? Konami Japan's just put up a site with a flashing message. It alternates between their logo and a green equation with text that reads: "A next Metal Gear is..." There seems to be a bit of Engrish there, but one startling bit (yeah, man, I can totally feel that big red exclamation mark pop above my head now...!) is that the little equation they have there is giving off some Xbox 360 vibe.
