Paramount Steps Into the Gaming Industry With Popular Chick-Flick Games
Paramount is not only trying to dip into the video-game world, but it's also going after a female audience by introducing three games inspired by girlie movies — Clueless, Mean Girls, and Pretty in Pink. These first few games will be developed in conjunction with Legacy Interactive.
No word on what console the games will be designed for or what the user experience will be like just yet, although BuzzSugar has her predictions!

Star Trek Geekery Galore
Since I'm still on a Star Trek high after seeing the glorious movie, I have to admit, I've been zeroing in on anything related to the film and Star Trek in general — obsessed much? Yes! I've already rounded up some of my past Star Trek stories, but for those of you who want to keep the Star Trek momentum going, I've got some Trek treats that you're going to love.
Oscar Worthy Gadgets: Revolutionary Road
Concluding this year's Oscar Worthy Gadgets series is a movie up for three Academy Award nominations, including best costume design, art direction, and Michael Shannon's nomination for his performance in a supporting role. Starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, Revolutionary Road takes us inside the lives of a couple who struggle with the mundane realities of living in a Connecticut suburb.
Because the movie is set during the mid-1950s, there were many vintage tech shots.
Premium Cable Movie Channel Tests the Waters Online First
Soon there will be yet another premium cable channel competing against HBO, Showtime, and your attention. Offering up newly released movies, Epix will launch its service in October with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button at the top of its playlist. But what Epix is doing differently is something any Internet fiend can get behind: they're launching five months early to online subscribers first.
She's Your Venus: Serena's New Cell Phone on Gossip Girl
The time has come; you know what cell phone Blair has, what Jenny is toting, and where the boys are, so now it's time to focus on Gossip Girl's golden goddess, Serena van der Woodsen.
Serena is a slave to the black sliders; this season she's got the sexily-named LG Venus (trivia tidbit: It's the same phone her nemesis Georgina rocked last season in pink).
I can see why the Venus would appeal to the blonde beauty — it's got all the smartphone-y basics: Music player, touch screen, 2.0-megapixel camera, and of course, it slides, which seems to be of paramount importance to S.
Brush Up On Your Atari Trivia!
We all know that Atari is the grandfather of modern day video game consoles, but here's some interesting geeky news — Leonardo DiCaprio is set to star as the creator of Atari in a new flick entitled Atari! How sweet is that?! Thanks to Paramount Pictures, the famous console (which holds a special place in our hearts) will be hitting the big screen.
Movie Geek Mania: What Video Game or Comic Book Do You Want to See Made Into a Movie?
My trigger finger for Fandango is all itchy — with so many geeky movies coming out in the next few months, I plan on being at every one of them on opening night. From Iron Man, a movie based on a comic that will be made into a video game, to the high tech-filled feature Speed Racer (which is just begging to have a video game based on it), to an admittedly not-so-geeky, but I-can-make-it-geeky movie, Sex and the City, my movie card's totally full.
It's not enough for me, though!
Geek Tip: Beware of the Dreaded Illegal Download Letter
Lifehacker reports that a reader recently got a letter from her ISP provider, warning her that Paramount/Dreamworks was aware of her illegal downloading via BitTorrent. And while they weren't suing her, nor was her internet being cut off, the letter from Cablevision was a warning.
This particular reader had downloaded over 30 movies when she received the letter and has stopped downloading and implored Lifehacker as to what's next.
Why Is It So Hard to Open Plastic Packages?
Last night I was faced with the task of putting new ink cartridges in my boyfriend's printer and was reminded of how tricky it is to open hard clamshell packaging. It's honestly a battle I confront multiple times a week, so I decided it was time to do a little research. Why do manufactures make it so complicated?
