Or at least its promotional artwork.

The SITE Intelligence Group mine terrorist message boards daily for evidence of terrorist activities, and they find all sorts of interesting things. One of those things was the above image from Fallout 3, which sadly lacks a man, faithful doggy companion by his side, pumping hot lead into the twisted nuclear zombie survivors that make life in the postapocalyptic age such a tricky prospect. Apparently, Al Qaeda are so confused and misguided that they believe a nuclear-ravaged Washington DC doesn’t need anything else, and I’m willing to bet the message board was filled with obnoxiously short posts best summarized as “Dude, awesome! (smiley face)”.

It’s worth noting that, contrary to initial reports, the SITE Intelligence Agency didn’t believe this was a commissioned piece demonstrating “the feasibility of nuclear strikes against the US and Britain.” While terrorists in general can be depressingly effective, they tend to work low-tech and aren’t widely known for their ability to generate high-end computer renderings. Their ability to appropriate images for their own (sometimes bizarrely amusing) ends is, however, somewhat better documented. Just ask Bert.

Uh… Gamers, we have a problem.

In case some of you have been wondering why a certain section of the front page seems, well… out of date - we recently experienced a recent data that affected our valued features section. The end result was nearly a year’s worth of data which we are currently working on trying to retrieve. The retrieval process isn’t going too well at the moment, so you can imagine that we’re not all smiles here at GotNext. Though all is not lost - our administration team is working in a contingency plan. But most importantly, we have some very cool new features in the works (some of which have already put into action such as the index sorting tools). Some features you will probably not see until sometime next year. There’s also another BIG change underway and if all goes well, you should be seeing it launch well before the 4th Qtr.

“Hello, Computer…”

Don’t fret everyone — we’ll make it right, one way or another, we’ll work on restoring as much content as possible (all the really significant content anyways like interviews and such). On behalf of the entire crew, we appreciate your patience and understanding during this unfortunate setback. Stay tuned!
