System Shock 3?

Apparently EA games is going to make a System Shock 3, sounds good right? I mean come on, System Shock is an excellent series and we want more right!? WRONG! EA is making System Shock 3 without Ken Levine and his comrades and instead with the team that made the Godfather game. What does this mean? This means that the series is going to start sucking ass through a straw! The reason Ken isn't working on System Shock 3 is because he said:
One of the reasons I wasn't interested [in System Shock 3] is EA just didn't give a sh-t about that game.

Now I'm not 100% sure on all of this, but it is according to an article found in the UK edition of PC Gamer, as well as this picture:
If Ken seriously doesn't change his mind and start to work on this project with EA it could very well be the end of the System Shock series as we know it.

Contraversy with KMFDM

This is old news but I need to make a new post.
KMFDM is my favorite band, the main member is Sascha Konietzko who was born in Hamburg, Germany some time ago. Upon them breaking up (which they later reformed a few years later) they released an album called Adios. People had realized that Adios was released on Adolf Hitler's birthday, which wasn't intentional, it was all by coincidence and people automatically assumed that KMFDM was a band of Nazis. They aren't! Are you friggin' kidding me!? I can't really back up my views, but I am friends with Sascha, he isn't a Nazi.
Another contraversy was that Eric Harris, one of the shooters in the Columbine shooting, had posted lyrics from a few of KMFDM songs (this includes: "Anarchy", "Power", "Son of a Gun", "Waste", and "Stray Bullet") on his website. Again these idiots who blamed the shooting on Manson also blamed the shooting on KMFDM. Sascha Konietzko said the day after:

First and foremost, KMFDM would like to express their deep and heartfelt sympathy for the parents, families and friends of the murdered and injured children in Littleton. We are sick and appalled, as is the rest of the nation, by what took place in Colorado yesterday.

KMFDM are an art form — not a political party. From the beginning, our music has been a statement against war, oppression, fascism and violence against others. While some of the former band members are German as reported in the media, none of us condone any Nazi beliefs whatsoever.


The most recent incident was in November of 2007 with a shooting in a Finland school. Someone had made a video of the shooting (imbecile) and put the song "Stray Bullet" in the background.
Okay, seriously, what the hell. Do you people even know what "Stray Bullet" is about? Obviously not.
