Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime Coming to XBLA, PSN, PC Next Spring

Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime

If you've been waiting since the release of 2009's Ghostbusters: The Videogame for Atari to announce a sequel, well...this is almost it. USA Today reports that Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is set for release in spring of next year, but rather than a full-fledged follow-up, it'll be a downloadable title released through Xbox Live Arcade, the PlayStation Network, and PC.

By the looks of the couple of screens USA Today revealed (one of which shown above), Sanctum of Slime appears to be a top-down cop-op shooter -- or, that is, a top-down co-op proton pack streamer. Up to four players can join in, either locally or online, but so far the only confirmed character is "the rookie" introduced in the first game. Sadly, this time none of the actors from the movies will appear in game.

What Sanctum of Slime will provide, though, are "gigantic bosses" that require players to work in concert to take down; weapons like the proton pack, plasma inductor, and fermion shock; and the ability to drive the Ecto-3.

Bing Feature Update: Bing Movies streamlines movie search

Providing the best movie results for everyone who uses Bing is not an easy task. Many times, you’re looking for a movie because it’s received great reviews, has a mind-blowing trailer or is playing at your favorite theater.  Other times, you’re looking for a movie based on where you happen to be, or what time the film is showing.  And if you’re like us, it’s usually all of the above. 

This week we are releasing an update to Bing Movies, which introduces a redesigned interface that streamlines how you search and select  the movies you’re looking to watch.  Bing Movies organizes the top movie information within the new interface letting you go a step deeper based on your needs:

  • Showtimes: Our new Showtimes page makes it incredibly easy to see which movies are playing at theatres near you.  Instead of having to go from theatre result to theatre result trying to find movie times, with Bing Movies you pick a movie and are served the showtimes at the closest theatres in one snap.
  • Trailers: The new Trailer page provides you with the latest trailers, clips and interviews at a glance.
  • Reviews:  The Reviews page combines reviews from top critic outlets like the NY Times and LA Times with those from users, giving you a quick and comprehensive way to determine whether the movie is worth the price of admission.

Let us know what you think,

Nate Buggia- Bing Movies

I'm digging this Israeli military robo-snake(!) of which each segment packs its own power supply, sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers. Looks like the business end has a camera ringed with IR LEDs. (See the snake in action in this video.) [Via Dvice]

4 Memberships Worth the Cost

When the money gets tight and I'm trying to plug the leaks in my budget to save money where I can. This means memberships and subscriptions are the first to determine if they should stay or go.

I have had a club membership to one of the warehouse stores for the last 4 years. Every year it comes up for renewal, I decide if it is worth having for another year. Obviously that answer has been yes the last 3 years. But for some people, the extra money for a membership isn't worth it.

Warehouse Stores
Going into large box stores gives me a headache and tires my feet out at the thought. But I still go because I can buy paper products and frozen food, then not have to worry about buying them again for 6-12 months. To me, this savings is worth the membership and the savings in time. 

Consumer Report used mystery shoppers on warehouse club savings and found that they shaved 25-55% off the cost of the items. The only area they didn't save was on drinks. This is one way to save money if coupons are not used.

Gym Memberships
In my area, a membership to a 24 hour fitness center is cheaper by 15-20 dollars than the Y, and it's closer. But that may vary by regions. If working out in a pool or in a class is more supportive for staying healthy, I can see how buying a gym membership is better than any of 37 frugal approaches to fitness. I also want to make sure I get my shower done at the gym for the water and heat savings.

Pandora Music
This is one membership I don't think twice about renewing. For $3 a month I get tons of music that I LOVE, without commercials. I realize there are other free alternatives, but they come with commercials, kick off frequently and are not as mobile. I use the Pandora App as well. Overall, this keeps me sane while at work and helps me focus when home - all worth the price for me.

I would say that I listen to Pandora about 30 hours a week and I have multiple stations setup depending on my mood. This much listening puts me way over the 40hr/mo. limit for the free option. They also have cool kid's stations as well - not that I will have need for this.

Credit Unions
I paid $25 once to become a member of my local credit union. It has been well worth the money. When I bought a car and had it financed through the dealership, I later refinanced through the credit union and saved a few thousand dollars off the life of the loan and lowered my monthly payments so I could pay it off earlier.

I also have saved money with a credit union by not paying big bank fees on minimums and I know they are looking out to save me money and not make a huge profit for board members and shareholders.

What memberships do you subscribe to that are worthwhile? 
What is the cost?
What is the savings you receive?

Pennies For an iPod

flickr/cc - Sir Stig
Some people have a want that can seem like an 'all consuming' need; they won't fight the urge and will let it get out of control. I was reading through some posts and found the following story by withoutmusic to be inspirational. It's a great example of thinking before you buy....
Since, I first saw an iPod two years ago, I decided I wanted one, I figured I could earn one in two years if I put about .37 cents away, a day for two years I would earn 270, (which is how much my Ipod cost, student discount). And most of this .37 didn't come from me, I would always check in vending machines, to see if people forgot change (they ALWAYS do). 

I would mange to find about 2.80 every week in change at laundry-mats, school, parking lots, vending machines, pay-phones, counters, cans i saw laying around, and extra change I got from cashiers. I made at point, that I would get this iPod for free by collecting change, and it worked I am now a proud owner of a 30gb color video ipod, all from collected change. (and some times dollar bills!)

An Ipod isn't the only thing you can do this with, you can do it with ANY luxury/want item. Start small (under 500) and break it up into small chunks of savings.

Think about this, beyond the 7 little hacks I wrote previously,  if you save 1¢ a day for a year you have $3.65, 10¢ a day = 36.50, 25¢ a day = $91.25,  $1 a day = $365.00 and so on. All possible ways to save for something fun.
