Moments ago, Bioware sent out a mass email to gamers who may have previously played their classic RPG Neverwinter Nights and may be affected by this latest security breach.

We immediately took appropriate steps to protect our consumers’ data and launched a thorough ongoing evaluation of the breach. We have determined that no credit card data was compromised from the servers, nor did we ever have or store sensitive data like social security numbers.

Gamestop is offering a great deal to Power-Up Rewards Members looking to buy a Sony PlayStation 3. In a recent email, Gamestop directed customers to go to their Power-Up Rewards Dashboard to claim a coupon that will net them a $100 discount on either a new 160GB or 320GB PlayStation 3 system. At this point we’re not sure if it’s only for Pro Members or if it’s open to both tiers of the service, but for a $100 off most people might be able to overlook PlayStation Network still being down and pick up a new system.

Who is Grizzly Rose? Miwa Gemini met Grizzly Rose while traveling alone in the desert among the Joshua Trees. Grizzly Rose is intimidating, she is a mystery, some even suspect she’s a murderer; but to Miwa Gemini, it’s her combination of fearlessness, flourish, and breezy glamour that make Grizzly Rose a worthy focus for her latest album, Fantastic Lies of Grizzly Rose (Rock Park Records). Of course it isn’t all Grizzly Rose’s doing. Miwa Gemini embodies all of Grizzly Rose’s qualities, combining a classical music education as a child in Japan to a creative aesthetic she developed studying art in New…
