If you spent any time in high school thinking about ley lines and bio-implants, you were probably a Shadowrun player. The game, which petered out after a disastrous run as a PC/Xbox game in 2007, brought the high-tech of William Gibson to the magical realms of Mr. Gygax. It was, in short, pretty cool. A Kickstarter project aims to bring back all that fun in video game form, adding lots of what you missed about Shadowrun back to the PC. This new version will be a RPG involving the Shadowrun world complete with various character types - elves, samurai, humans - and, although this is discouraged, deals with dragons. $15 gets you a copy of the game while $60 gets you a t-shirt and some in-game perks.mashed potato recipe cranberry sauce oregon usc la auto show powerball winning numbers powerball winning numbers uc davis pepper spray
It's here! Precise Pangolin or, as it's officially known, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Canonical's latest is now available in its final(ish) form and ready for you to download, burn and install. While LTS (Long Term Support) releases are generally more conservative in their application of new features, Pangolin does include some rather notable tweaks. The most immediately noticeable will be the new log in screen which, while largely the same, does have the slick new trick of changing wall papers to match the selected user. A more subtle change is revealed once you've logged on and press alt -- HUD. The new search-based menu system is quite a departure from traditional interaction models, and one that will come as a relief to those who constantly forget where a particular option is buried. Perhaps the most welcome change, though, is the vastly improved performance and power management. Ubuntu, for all of its finer points, has never been particularly battery friendly. But Canonical is promising that is going to change. We'll have to wait to find out once we get this bad boy installed on some machines of our own. You know the drill, hit up the source link to download it for yourself, for free.
Update: Well, looks like all you Ubuntu fanatics have taken out the site temporarily. We're sure it'll be back soon but, in the meantime, you can still download the latest version of the OS here (magnet link).
Update 2: And they're back! Also, we've now got PR after the break.

Superhero movie, due Stateside in early May, is already breaking records in foreign markets.

The Avengers have already started to assemble overseas, and early box-office reports are spelling very good things for Marvel's tentpole. The superhero movie that brings together Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk has reportedly made $12.5 million in a handful of foreign markets and is already breaking records, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In Australia, "The Avengers" has already banked $7 million, a total that has only been beaten by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," which earned $8 million during its Down Under debut.
The foreign rollout has proven lucrative elsewhere, too, as France added $3 million to the total.
Early tracking estimated that "The Avengers" could make more than $150 million during its early May opening weekend in the U.S. That would put the film in the same class as "Spider-Man 3," "The Hunger Games," "The Dark Knight" and "Deathly Hallows, Part 2."
This could potentially mean the biggest debut for a Marvel Studios movie yet. "Iron Man 2" currently holds that honor. The Robert Downey Jr. sequel opened to $128 million back in 2010. That's followed by the first "Iron Man" at $98 million.
"The Avengers" has the added advantage of higher ticket prices. The film is playing both in 3-D and in IMAX 3-D, so each individual ticket will add more to the final total. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" saw a large bump in its record-breaking run thanks in part to higher prices attached to 3-D showings.
Check out everything we've got on "The Avengers."

'It's gonna have a lot of aunts and uncles,' JWoww tells MTV News of Snooki's bun in the oven.

Snooki is preparing for motherhood. And that process will all be captured on television through her forthcoming reality show with "Jersey Shore" bestie JWoww. When Seaside's favorite meatball found out she was going to be a mom, it added a whole new set of ups and downs for the ladies to navigate on the show.
"When we film, it's all about reality and what's going on in our life," she told MTV News at the MTV Upfront in New York City on Thursday while premiering the "Snooki & JWOWW" trailer. "So it's not like we're going in there and staging things. It's what's really going on in our life. It just so happens that I got pregnant while [we were filming].
"I mean, obviously, it wasn't planned, so it was a surprise," she added. "But you'll see on the spin-off, my first trimester, me telling all my friends and just everything that's going on with the first trimester."
Snooki even said she's got a few boy and girl names picked out already. Even though she wouldn't get into name specifics, she did say that she would hardly be going about motherhood alone. She's got not only her pals, but also her fiancé, Jionni LaValle, to support her. And, it seems that everyone is dedicated to making it work.
"I was very excited [when we found out]. I don't know if was more excited for what's to come or the fact that we finally moved in together," JWoww said. "But it's not a dull moment. All of us, all eight of us [are going to help out]. It's gonna have a lot of aunts and uncles."
Their pal Pauly D, who has been supportive of Snooki's growing family from the beginning, agreed that he wants to be there for the baby. He added, "We will take care of this baby with her."
