How to Fail At Reporting: By Suzanne Collins

I'm sorry that this has nothing to do with video games, but as a member of the press, I have to address stupidity this painful.

Take a look at this article. A man met a girl on the internet, took her on a date and then, after an argument, killed her.

See anything strange? Yeah, in case you didn't catch on, let me highlight it for you.

Police spokesman Bill Toohey said Gaumer met 27-year-old Josie Phyllis Brown on the Internet and took her on a date Dec. 28.

...

Police haven't released the name of the dead woman. They say she was a Baltimore City resident and not a student at UMBC.

What the hell, man.

Sounds like a bad copy-and-paste job. If you're gonna edit an article, you may want to PROOFREAD it before you publish it. Geez.

Well, hell. Since you posted this, I won't feel so bad about posting what I'm about to. This is a virtual tour of Highland Village. While you may think that this has nothing to do with video games, download it and take a look. Think "Doom" (without the guns and demons and such) taking place in Highland Village. Also, this is a 40 MB download so if you don't have high speed internet, be prepared to download for a week. It also takes a while to load on my laptop, which is fairly new, though not geared for gaming. But, I'm amazed at the amount of detail that was given to this. Also, each time you approach a storefront, it directs a browser to the HV's store description on the HV site. I don't think this will garner an appreciable amount of interest, so I don't think I'm hijacking this thread. :p I just figure this fits in the gaming section of the site more than anywhere.... *Beware* If you enter Julep's, you likely won't be able to leave. I'm not joking.
