Tale of Two Cities — Maybe it’s the same city, the City of Heroes and the City of Villains, I dunno. It’s for sure the same monthly fee, $14.99 for both, as announced yesterday by NCSoft.

They can’t stop playing video games
CNN.com – They can’t stop playing video games — “Many of South Korea’s 17 million gamers — some 35 percent of the population, principally males in their teens and twenties — are obsessive.
