ATi Insider Trading -- 7:00 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The Ontario Securities Commission is accusing some ATi employees of insider trading, including their CEO, Director of Investor Relations, Manager of Marketing Administration, and General Counsel. This could get ugly. Thanks HardOCP.

Less Exciting NWN Linux Update -- 6:43 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The Neverwinter Nights Linux client page was updated with some news that wasn't anywhere near as exciting as last week's announcement. Here's the scoop:

We are now into the rather boring stretch at the end of game development. We are currently running through the loop of: find bug, fix bug, make new build, test. Rinse and repeat. Unfortunately, this is also the longest part of development and the most uncertain. It is even harder now to give you a date on the Client Beta.

MOO3 Gold -- 4:22 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The official Master of Orion 3 website announced that the game has finally gone gold. It should hit stores in about a month. The press release has a few more details. I'm sure that The Master will nearly wet himself when he hears this. Thanks Blue.

The Master comments: !!! BUSTIN' OUT THE HAPPY DANCE !!!

America's Army Linux Port -- 12:18 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun
