Barely a week after the Super Bowl ended, fans of the Cleveland Browns got official confirmation they were eliminated from next year's playoffs, too. The team's president and general manager resigned following the hiring of a new head coach, a comical sequence that is so bass-ackwards you can't even repeat it in Madden.Read more...

Eight new mothers used a Wii Fit console to mimic the movements of activities including jogging, yoga, skate boarding and hula hooping for 45 minutes three or four times a week. At the start of the study, they were around 18lb heavier than before giving birth. After three months of exercising at home, they had shed more than half of this, taking them close to their pre-pregnancy weight. The amount of body fat fell by up to 28 per cent, hips, waists and bust shrunk and the average women dropped from being borderline overweight to being comfortably within the normal weight zone

FTL: Advanced Edition is due to launch as a free expansion on PC, Mac and Linux, and as a standalone game on iPad this year. Developer Subset Games has revealed some new systems for the expansion, which also boasts new alien races, equipment and an additional sector to explore.

Ships will remain capped out at eight systems total, Subset writes on its blog, so players will need to prioritize systems around preferred play style. The post also introduces a Clone Bay where you can simply grow a clone of your dearly-departed crew member - but if the cloning process is interrupted, then that crew member will be lost forever.

Hacking drones will allow players to target individual systems when encountering enemy ships in space. Sending a drone to hack the enemy shields, for example, will immediately drop all shields and open up the vessel to major damage. Finally, Subset is also adding a Hard mode to the game.

Subset Games still hasn't given us an official launch date for FTL: Advanced Edition yet, but has said both the iPad game and the expansion for existing platforms will be made available at the same time. [Image: Subset Games]

If you’re already active in the PlayStation Forums, any of the various multiplayer communities, or even other gaming sites across the internet, then you might have heard of the PlayStation MVP Program.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the program, the PlayStation MVPs are a team of PlayStation gamers who volunteer to help us host exclusive game events and online tournaments, create content such as walk-throughs and help articles for fellow gamers on the PlayStation Forums, and share their expert opinions on PlayStation products through exclusive panels and discussion sessions with the PlayStation Community Management team.

Quick Look: PlayStation Forums

Many of our PlayStation MVPs got in to the program based around their activities in the PlayStation Forums. Whether you’re a PlayStation Forums veteran, or are just now learning of their existence, check out the new look and learn how you can build your own community reputation on the PlayStation Forums, and share your gaming stories, tips, and insights.

PlayStation General hosts a variety of discussions across the entire spectrum of gaming.

You’ll also find the official home of community for Naughty Dog for each of their marquee titles including The Last of Us and Uncharted.

Santa Monica Studios, developers of some of PlayStation’s biggest and brightest titles including God of War, Sound Shapes and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale also host their official forums here as well.

We’ll be building out more new areas and functionality on the PlayStation Forums in the coming year, so we hope you’ll join us!

The International Game Developers Association has issued a statement opposing King's recent Candy Crush Saga trademark filing, criticizing the developer's "predatory" attempt at owning and controlling the words "candy" and "saga" across all gaming platforms.

The organization plans to leverage its Business and Legal Special Interest Group to investigate the filing. King's "candy" trademark was recently approved for publishing by the US Patent and Trademark Office, giving developers and organizations 30 days to oppose the mark's final publication.

"While we understand and respect the appropriate exercise of Trademark rights," IGDA executive director Kate Edwards said. "King's overreaching filing in its application for the Trademark for its game 'Candy Crush Saga,' and its predatory efforts to apply that mark to each separate word contained in that name, are in opposition to the values of openness and cooperation we support industry wide, and directly contradict the statement King's CEO, Riccardo Zacconi, made on January 27th."

Edwards continued: "Our Business and Legal Special Interest Group will be providing a more comprehensive analysis of this issue from its perspective soon."

King targeted indie developer Stoic Studio last year, claiming that its title The Banner Saga was "confusingly and deceptively similar to [King's] previously used Saga marks." King relented in the following months, stating that it "has not and is not trying to stop Banner Saga from using its name."

Banished is an indie sandbox city building simulation, in which you have free reign to grow a nascent medieval town using only the resources gained from the land around it. You build and you harvest, and you keep your population healthy enough in order that they might breed and expand. It’s out now, and I spent the weekend with it.

It made more sense once I decided that everyone in the town had tapeworm. Their prodigious appetites and the strange ease with which they would starve to death had more reason to it then. If I became frustrated, all I had to do was picture these weather-worn medieval folk shovelling endless amounts of fish, venison, potatoes, peppers, berries and mushrooms down their brown-toothed maws, only for the grim parasite in their guts to hoover half the goodness out of their rich harvest, leaving these peons hungry to the point of collapse. … [visit site to read more]

A portion of an Omnigamer interview with Luis Gigliotti, Senior Producer of Armikrog...

Luis: Well Armikrog. came about because Mike, Doug, and Ed were talking and were like, “What do we want to do next with Pencil Test?” And they started talking and they just decided that it’d be great if we could work on a project together but how do we do that? You know? A project that they would be really passionate about and love to do. Mike asked Doug straight up, “Hey man, do you have any ideas?” Doug is this creative genius. He’s probably one of the most prolific artists I’ve ever met. He can crank out a graphic novel in like two weeks. The amount of work–and quality work–that comes out of his brain and through the medium of his drawings and paintings is just phenomenal. And he got really inspired and just started cranking out page after page, and beautiful concept art and this whole story about Armikrog and Mike and Ed said, “This is it. We’ve got to make this.”

Then came the practical aspect of, well, how are we going to make this? Like you said, you can’t pitch a game like this to a publisher. There’s no way. The first thing the publisher would say is, “How is this like Call of Duty?” No offense. I’ve got friends working on those. Heck, I’ve worked on the James Bond license and big licenses with big publishers but there was just no way that a publisher was going to take even a small financial risk on something like it. I think Doug put it correctly when he said, “We’re making playable art.” The truth of the matter is, what publisher is in the business of making playable art? And I agree with this because art in its purest sense is this expression, this pure expression.
