News Round-Up: Miscellany

There’s an interesting piece with Joss Whedon about working on Avengers -

Perhaps it’s just the left-over exuberance of landing the gig, but Whedon’s words to The Sydney Morning Herald are filled with eager inspiration. (It’s a great interview. Check it out.) He said of the project:

Right now I’m working on a movie that’s got enormous stipulations and is going to be changing and fluid every second. I’ve come up with dozens of scenes and lines and exchanges and monologues that I adore that are not going to be in it. But while I’m writing them they feed me, excite me and they ultimately inform the character. It all goes in.

Obsidian continues to post many news items about the upcoming Fallout: New Vegas -

“Obviously,” commented game director Feargus Urquhart at the start of our QuakeCon demo last week, “It’s got to be about the strip at some point.”  As the opening cinematic plays, it sets the tone.  We’re in the Vegas of the future.
