Welcome back to another exciting edition of “Hib’s Taking The Lazy Way Out”, the show where Inhibitor posts a bunch of links and then runs off for Amaretto Sours. As always, there are far too many links below, so I’d just like to say for the record that Lag-O-Rama, its subsidiaries, chattels, holding, management, employees and goats are not liable for your carpal tunnel.

• Gizmodo has a link to what might be the coolest gamer/science/Nikola Tesla video you’ll ever see here.

• Ever looked at Myspace and said to yourself “Why don’t they have one of these jobbies for gamers?” Troy Rutter has officially answered your prayers…presenting Gathering of Gamers.

• Speaking of MySpace, I had one too many Amaretto Sours and put up the official Lag-O-Rama MySpace page, which just goes to show I have waaaay too much free time. (And yes, I now have a profile there…go to my profile and I’ll add you in as a friend. God, I’m so needy.)

• The Wii now has an MMORPG named “Hullbreach”. No, really. It’ll be on the Wii Internet Channel, and is a browser-based MMO originally written in QBASIC. No, I mean it.

• The Elder Scrolls MMORPG project from Bethesda is now a confirmed rumor. Insert your favorite “next WoW-killer” comment here. (Although I think a game will have to actually kill WoW before one can be the next “WoW-killer”. Grammar is be your friend!)

• Don’t click this. And then don’t say I didn’t warn you.

• “Legal Chickens” would be an awesome name for a band.

• Did you hear about this Leroy Jenkins guy in this game thing? Someone needs four wheels of fury from the lawgiver.

• According to Massively, you can now sign up for the beta of Eve Online:Webwars, which has no association with CCP, the company behind Eve Online, at all. Except for using the same graphical elements, the same name, and trying to appeal to the same fanbase. It’s a twist on the old “buy real estate and/or websites game”, except instead of buying and selling, you get to attack Google, and who wouldn’t be attracted to that?

• What will it take to make microtransactions a successful model in America? Min Kim of Nexon (makers of MapleStory and KartRider) just lit a roll of USD $100 bills and laughed before answering the question from Next-Gen.biz. (They left the bill-lighting out of the story, but I’m sure it happened. At least, that’s what I would’ve done.)

• And finally…if you’ve got a few extra bucks laying around, and want one of the coolest conversation pieces a gamer can have, then you need to drop by and see Gill Bates over at MMOArt…he’ll take a screenshot of your favorite MMO character that you’ve played, and turn it into something like this. Or this. Hell, he makes dwarven warriors look cool.
