A story on
JLM Pacific Epoch attributed to an "unnamed insider" saying China's General Administration of Press and Publications (GAPP) and Ministry of Culture (MoC) have reached consensus over whether NetEase's
operation of World of Warcraft in China contravened regulations, and will announce a punishment in mid-January. Thanks

Mod DB has word on the Christmas release of
Too Many Crates, a crate-tacular
Half-Life 2 modification (thanks
Ant). Word is: "This year I couldn't afford to buy any of you gifts for Christmas. So instead I have gotten everyone of you hundreds of empty boxes. Cause if I know one thing about all you small children and lol cats out there on the interwebs, it is that you love playing with the boxes that presents come in more than the actual gifts themselves. Thus I cut out the useless present part of the equation to accelerate the train to fun town by giving you the empty crates right away. Sit back and enjoy the multitudes of colorful boxes are in store for you when you play Too Many Crates!"
Happy New Year! Here's hoping everyone had a safe and happy time, and that any hangovers suffered are fading away by now.
