Good video games are addictive, right? From Pong to Tetris to World of Warcraft, the greatest game designers are those that manage to get the players of their games to spend endless hours sitting in front of them. Is that now a dangerous approach?
A lawsuit by an addicted game player against the maker of Lineage II is being allowed to go to trial. Is it possible to make a game so awesome that it is negligent by virtue of how awesome it is?

In the world of historical art, some 2,000-year-old wall paintings have been (largely) restored.
Finally, do not try to steal marijuana from growers in rural British Columbia — it is guarded by bears.
Since the theme of the Big Bad Blog this week seems to be to pick on Facebook, we do not see why we should let up just because it is Wednesday.
Regular denizens of the Internet have likely seen this photo in the past:
That photo, for the record, is of pop star Kylie Minogue, holding a teddy bear after a concert in London. The hand holding the microphone is in an unfortunate location, giving the impression that said teddy bear is well endowed and being pleasured by Ms. Minogue.
All of which, of course, has made the image into an Internet sensation. So much so that we here at the Big Bad Blog are not even going to attempt to attribute it. It is now simply a part of the Internet.
The website Tabloid Prodigy claims that Facebook removed the above photo from a user’s account, and gave the following reason for the removal:
We do not allow photos that contain nudity, drug use or violence.
Clearly a good decision, Facebook.
1. Nudity. That bear is clearly NOT wearing pants.
2. Drug Use. A bear, pantless, on stage with Kylie Minogue in London? Must be stoned.
3. Violence. There is no other reason available to explain how a plush bear’s penis would look like a microphone.
Well done, Facebook.

I was also going to tell you that you can watch the Large Hadron Collider live over the Internet, starting from 7:30 GMT. But that was yesterday. I tried to delay it for you, but eventually they smashed things together anyways.
