Any French-speaking Bitmobbers care to translate the below quote? 

News Blips:


If you want to contribute to the Haiti relief effort, The Behemoth and SOTA Toys have got you covered. From now until Sunday, The Behemoth will donate all proceeds of online sales of Alien Hominid HD and Castle Crashers DLC to the American Red Cross. Additionally, Behemoth employees have promised to match the amount generated with funds from their own pockets. Likewise, on February 1, SOTA Toys will auction off a slick Lightning Blanka prototype figurine on ebay and will also send those proceeds to benefit the earthquake-ravaged country.

Electronic Arts is showing their support for controversy-laced golfer Tiger Woods with the announcement of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online. The latter of the two titles is now in open beta and boasts self-promotional Facebook integration. It's nice to see EA take the high road and not put together some sort of Tiger Woods dating-sim game. [TigerWoodsOnline]

The Wall Street Journal Online is reporting that Apple is working with EA to "show off" the gaming capabilities of their (rumored) upcoming tablet device. Furthermore, EA Mobile is reportedly signed up to use the recently announced Kindle Development Kit to start making games for Amazon's ebook reader. It looks like however the market of this new generation of computer devices ends up, EA will be there. [engadget]

An unlucky The Consumerist reader reports that airport security had taken apart his Xbox 360 before flying on US Airways. The traveling gamer had checked his console in with his luggage, reassured by an airline employee that everything would be OK. After returning home, he discovered his Xbox had been taken apart as evident by the included ziplock bag of metal components that were once inside his console. Breaking Xbox 360s in the name of national security -- what's the world coming to? [The Consumerist]
