It’s been awhile, so here’s the latest:

* Microsoft’s game division is profitable for the first time ever, due certainly to its triumph over the PS3.

* Sony’s game unit just saw its Q2 losses double. The really bracing news:

As of September 30, Sony’s worldwide game inventory had increased 31.7 percent to 247.8 billion ($2.15 billion) “due to the buildup of finished goods following the introduction of the PS3 platform.”

As for hardware sales, the three months ending September 30 saw Sony sell–not ship–1.31 million PS3s worldwide. The company also sold 3.28 million PlayStation 2s . . .

* Also, Will Wright says that Spore, one of the most anticipated games ever, will be coming to Wii. No other console will get the PC game.

I’m just warning you right now: I’m going to do a lot of updates on this movie because I’m obsessed with watching my childhood being destroyed in slow motion. So here’s what we have today:

* They’ve cast a 21-year-old blonde from The Grudge 2 as Wonder Woman.

* Herc has a short FAQ on an older version of the script, which has Maxwell Lord and Talia al Ghul as the villains.

What, no Starro?

Not to be master of the obvious, but the recent Brad Meltzer Justice League re-boot with Solomon Grundy as the villain could have been easily re-written into a fabulous, intelligent origin story for the League. If the studio was convinced that the JLA needs an origin movie.

On a semi-related note, Wedding Crashers‘ David Dobkin is now on board to direct The Flash.

No, you lock it up.

Drudge carried this headline over the weekend, and I have to say I was unimpressed with the story, for three reasons:

(1) Wasn’t Reihan all over this, like two years ago?

(2) The story ignores completely the phenomenon of falling fertility rates where, in industrialized nations, the level of education (and to a lesser degress, socioeconomic status) is inversely proportional to fertility rate.

(3) The story makes no mention of mutant abilities.

So Bionic Woman has another new showrunner, this time a guy named Jason Cahill, whose previous credits include Sopranos (good), ER (eh), Profiler (terrible), and Cane and Surface (huh?).

Now may be the time to check out on Jamie Sommers.

Oh, and the final season of Battlestar Galactica has been pushed back until April . . . and Sci-Fi still might wait until 2009 to air the end of the fourth season.

KSK is on a roll this week, with this guide to football for Londoners:

Hello, English people! Or should I say, top of the marnin’ to ya? Huh? Huh? It’s my honor to take you on a tour of all things NFL and explain why it might appeal to you folks in London, or as I like to call it, “Seattle With Funny Accents.” No doubt you’ve heard of the NFL, but haven’t had the chance to learn more about it because you were too busy breathlessly overhyping lousy bands (“The new Travis album is absolutely MASSIVE!”) and eating spoonfuls of mayonnaise straight from the jar. . . .

What You’ll Think Is Absolute Shite About The NFL:

-The padding. Yes, yes, rugby players are tougher because they don’t wear pads and play exclusively in hot pants (nice kit!). Whatever. I’m sure Ray Lewis wouldn’t last one second playing for Leicester. You keep on believing that.

And at the risk of insulting your intelligence, if you aren’t reading the article tags at the end of KSK entries, then you’re missing out. The tags of this post are:

Awesome.

Casino refuses to pay out $1.6 million jackpot–says slotmachine malfunctioned in awarding it. This at an Indian Native-American casino.

That’s great. The jokes–the terrible, offensive, racist jokes–write themselves.

P.S.: I’m not suggesting Matus should be called in for making the jokes, rather that no one feels a gambler’s outrage like he does. Just so we’re clear.

I wonder what Galley Friend and Hoya Superfan P.L. would have done . . .

Yeah, that’s what “The Fridge” said on the back of his G.I. Joe filecard. Galley Friend B.W. sends us to this fabulous celebration of the 21st anniversary of the special-edition “Fridge” G.I. Joe action figure.

I didn’t get The Fridge figure as kid–I was so scarred by the Boba Fett experiences, waiting nearly 2 years to get a Fett whose rocket had been glued into the backpack launcher–that I swore I’d never send away for a toy again. And when I saw my friend George Hoffman’s Fridge figure, with its stupid football-mace, I felt completely vindicated.

Go follow that link, by the way, the blogger has an impressive collection of stuff from Hasbro’s campaign for the Fridge figure.

Update: Galley Reader, Maryland native, and Redskins superfan P.G. informs us:

The “Lacrosse is the little brother of war” line derives from the fact that Bagataway, what Indians called Lacrosse, literally means “Little brother of war.”

And incidentally, Galley Friend Nick Swezey won his third night on Jeopardy! last night in dominating fashion. So dominant, in fact, that Final Jeopardy was meaningless. He’s a machine!
