The Daily Bleven -- April 12

Sony confirmed that it's cutting 10,000 jobs! That's a lot of friggin jobs -- that's bigger than many entire companies. Kris D said that Kaz is breaking things down...I just hope he has a plan to build things back up. And, to those who are losing their jobs, I'm really sorry, and I wish you the best of luck.

Skyrim will soon have voice controls via Kinect. Why don't more games have voice controls? Didn't Sony prove the concept back in 2002 with SOCOM? How awesome would it be to build and battle in Starhawk with voice commands? Then again, the voice controls for Tom Clancy's End War sucked hard...

For their 25 year anniversary celebration, Fox is going to re-air the Married...With Children pilot. Man, I love me some Al Bundy. Hell, I think I just may BE Al Bundy.

Director Marc Webb (surely, there is a pun intended) plans to unfold the origin of Spider-Man over a few movies. Also, there will be no wrestling match for Spidey to win, get gypped of his winnings, and no robber for him to let get away to kill Uncle Ben. Sounds like in addition to decompressing the Spidey origin like Bendis did in the Ultimate Spider-Man comic, Webb (seriously?) is screwing with some of the origin itself. Not sure how I feel about that, but I'll revisit this after I see the movie.
