Autumn Games have unveiled a new trailer to showcase Painwheel, one of Skullgirls’ newest characters. Slated for release in early 2012, Skullgirls is a new 2D fighting game that puts players in control of fierce female warriors. Its development team at Reverge Labs is led by renowned fighting game champion Mike “Mike Z” Zaimont and artist Alex Ahad, whose work has appeared in many publications, including Lava Punch and Girls of Gaming.
Once a normal schoolgirl named Carol, Painwheel was kidnapped by Valentine and delivered to the Anti-Skullgirls Labs’ secretive Lab Zero. There she was implanted with the synthetic Buer Drive and Gae Bolga parasites and infused with experimental Skullgirl blood, transforming her into the monster she is today. Violent and unstable as a result of these experiments, as a precaution she’s mentally controlled by Lab Zero’s powerful psychic director, Brain Drain.

After its stunning market debut Thursday, there's no doubt that LinkedIn is a bubble. But contrary to the crazy comparisons being made in the press, it doesn't signal a repeat of the 1990s dot-com bubble, argues Gary Rivlin.
When Netscape made its stock market debut in August 1995, its share price spiked 109 percent, blowing the first large breath into the dot-com bubble. On Thursday, the social networking company LinkedIn had an eerily similar first day as a publicly-traded company as its shares rose rise by 108 percent.

Is it any wonder the world was ready to declare Silicon Valley in the midst of another Internet bubble? Especially when the stock market instantly gave LinkedIn, a solid but second-tier Valley success story, a value greater than Southwest Airlines, U.S. Steel, Hertz, Delta Airlines and Tyson Foods?

MIT urban planning graduate Illac Angelo Diaz talks about taking the Philippines by storm with low-cost climate change-resistant designs.
Illac Angelo Diaz is a former model, corporate executive, and VJ from the Philippines who is now leading the largest fight against climate change the country has ever seen--by becoming a serial entrepreneur. The MIT urban planning graduate and Harvard Kennedy School Mason Fellow talked to Fast Company about his latest innovations, and the climate threat to the 7,000-island country of the Philippines.
Diaz started out as the founder of the Pier One Dormitories--a transit home for the Philippines' massive work force of migrant seafarer workers who earn less than $1 per day--and the MyShelter Foundation, an alternative architecture non-profit utilizing materials such as bamboo and plastic bottles for schools, clinics, and other at-risk and climate change-affected structures.

I took my kids to a taping of their favorite TV show and lived to tell the tale.
momlogic's Julie: My kids are Obsessed with the Nickelodeon show "Brain Surge." So when my husband heard they were filming in Los Angeles this week, he thought it might be a fun surprise to take them to a taping. We got tickets from On Camera Audiences. Tickets are free.
Yesterday was a minimum day at school, which meant the kids get out at 1:30. We were told to be at the taping no later than 3:15. We got there by 3:00.
There was a long line outside the studio and it looked like they had also bussed some schools in. After waiting about 45 minutes in the line -- and seeing many people go in before us -- we were told that "it wasn't looking good" for us to get in. What? I...

Thanks to The Cog, we're privy to a lot of inside information on projects currently in development. Unfortunately, there's not a lot we can do with many of those projects. When there's not a big name attached to it, or where it's not a sequel or a remake, it rarely rises to the level of newsworthy. But I hate for all that information to go to waste. Bad ideas are great fodder for a site like ours -- you folks have a tendency to feed off Hollywood's stupidity. I'd like to offer a vehicle for that.
So, today we introduce a new feature: Green Light This! I'll give you the loglines to three movies currently in development -- and in most cases, this will be content exclusive to Pajiba -- and you determine which of the three projects is the best candidate for a green light. In the month's ahead,...

Madrid -- Spanish movie attendance in the first half of the year rose 8% over the same period in 2008 to 48.8 million viewers for an increase of 3.7 million people, reversing a five-year downward spiral, the Spanish Federation of Exhibitors (Fece) reported Thursday.
Boxoffice receipts were up 13% to €296 million ($413 million) -- €35 million ($488 million) more than January-June 2008.
"This is great news as it is the first time in five years we've seen an increase in movie attendance for this period," said Fece communications chief Borja de Benito.
De Benito attributed the surge to three factors: the popularity among younger viewers of the new 3-D films, Hollywood blockbusters like "Angels and Demons" and a raft of good Spanish films released over the past six months.
"There is also the fact that in tough economic times people don't have the money to go out of town on the weekends which is common here so they stay...

Madrid -- Antonio Banderas will produce “Dia Roto” through his Spanish production house Green Moon, he said at this week’s Malaga Spanish Film Festival.
The $3 million action film, which will begin a nine-week shoot in October, marks the directorial debut of short film director Nestor Dennis, the latest in a line of young Spanish talent that Banderas has helped launch.
“For me, it is fundamental to lend my name for a cause such as this,” Banderas said Tuesday as he presented the project in the festival's forum, which is designed to attract financing for projects in pre-production.
Malaga native Banderas has held his own on the festival’s red carpet, even as hordes of young fans have created a frenzy over a fresh group of stars making the jump from TV series to the big screen.
Among the young stars creating a stir are Mario Casas, who stars in teen comedy “Brain Drain,...

Madrid -- The 12th Malaga Spanish Film Festival will stay true to its roots as the premiere showcase for the Spanish film industry, offering a bevy of directorial debuts, when it runs April 17-25, organizers said Tuesday.
But as new festival director Carmelo Romero takes the reins from Solomon Castiel for the first preview of this year’s Spanish film production stressing continuity, he also has added some ingredients to spice things up.
Native son Antonio Banderas will attend the festival for the first time to present the Malaga Award to Juan Diego, whom he directed in his Spanish-language, Malaga-based film “Summer Rain.” The festival will offer a “making of” section dedicated to Banderas’ “Rain.”
Cult director Alex de la Iglesia will preside over the official jury, comprising director Sergio Cabrera; actors Jose Manuel Cervino, Ruben Ochandiano and Emma Suarez; as well as writers Lucia Etxebarria and Juan Madrid.
