burlesque bodies at the bottom of the sea

One update, two random discontinuity-styled things to mention.

Firstly, my part-time employer, the Internet Archive, have added about 500 movies from the ever-amazing Prelinger Archive of ephemeral films, and this time some of the stuff added includes slightly risky 50s burlesque, though it's actually adorably tame compared to even Jerry Springer nowadays. Great stuff.

Secondly, probably the first big scoop for our Slashdot Games site today - well, the first one I've been absolutely gleeful about, since thanks to a tipster, we got the scoop on the biggest massively multiplayer hack since someone killed Lord British - this time, it was Shadowbane being hacked to bits. In fact, to quote a messageboard denizen, the hackers were - "..teleporting people all over the world, teleporting hostile guards into the safe-holds, bringing in hordes of special event monsters, and teleporting everyone to a city at the bottom of the sea." - yay for God Mode, huh?
