GuildWatch: A Hallow's End story contest
Ah yes, the MMORPG guild. Sometimes it's incredibly fun, sometimes it's incredibly frustrating. And we cover the gamut right here in our weekly column featuring the best guild drama, downings, and recruiting messages from around Azeroth.To see your guild here next week, drop a quick email to wowguildwatch@gmail.com. We especially love to hear about the drama-- did your guild break up recently (or did you break up a guild recently)? Have any ninjas to report (or are you one)? Let us know, and, as always, anonymity will be granted upon request.
GuildWatch: Yoko broke up the band
Time once again for our weekly look at who's up (in arms), who's downed (by raids), and who's out (as in, out there looking for new players). Yep, it's GuildWatch, and just like the unraveling tale of Mark "Maf54" Foley, you're kind of disgusted but you can't bear to look away.If you want your guild to appear here (or, perhaps, a guild that has just /gkicked you for a really stupid reason), drop an email to wowguildwatch@gmail.com, and then bask in the glory and honor that comes along with showing up on a column about player guilds in the biggest MMORPG ever. Sure, it won't get you free coffee at Starbucks, but it will win you the respect (and/or scorn) of geeks everywhere. Click the link to continue.

GuildWatch: Shameless self promotion
Sorry GuildWatch is running a little late this evening-- my guild, Gothic Bunnies on Thunderhorn-H (see above) came *this* close to finishing off Rajaxx this evening (we're casual, you hardcore raiders-- no comments from the peanut gallery, please).

Metareview - Silent Hill (the movie)
You've read our take on Silent Hill, now it's time to sum up what the film critics are saying. Currently, Metacritic has posted 14 reviews, which average out to a 29/100. For the record, this is the last time we will ever — EVER — get our hopes up for a movie adaptation of a video game.Choice quotes: Chicago Sun-Times (38/100) - "My damn brain lit up too much." [Roger Ebert] The New York Times (10/100) - "[Wraps] up like the outrageously overwrought fantasy of a French movie nerd obsessed with horror ... who has been given obscene amounts of money to adapt a video game." [Nathan Lee] San Francisco Chronicle (0/100) - "Nobody gets naked, which on second thought may be a good thing — because when a movie features people getting their skin ripped from their bodies, it pretty much kills the mood." [Peter Hartlaub]
