Shaun White 2 Snowboarding Box Art Shenanigans – Not being a ‘gaming’ sort of guy, I don’t know the whole story here but apparently Nintendo’s executive vice president of sales and marketing, Cammie Dunaway, had a spill while demo’ing the Balance Board for Shaun White Snowboarding at E3 in 2008 and consequently broke her wrist. UK Videogame retailer, Game, posted some funny doctored box art on their site by accident.

Slam Associate-Editor Atacked – According to Goldcoast.com.au, Trent Fahey the associate editor of Slam Magazine, was attacked on Sunday 13 September when he was approached by a group of guys and beaten for no reason. Here’s hoping someone finds out who it was and gets a little street justice for him… I don’t know Trent but I want to wish him a quick recovery from all of us here.

Louie Vito in Washington Post – Sports columnist for the Washington Post, Tracee Hamilton, has spoken to Vito about his upcoming ‘Dancing With the Stars’ appearance. Ignoring some of the more cringe-worthy paragraphs, it’s interesting to hear Louie’s take on the whole thing.

iTunes Wish List – iTunes 9 appeared last week and Lifehacker has a neat little wish list of features they’d like to see in future versions… What about you, any ideas on improving it?

Engadget TV – I know there’s got to be other fans of the tech blog Engadget out there… Last week they launched their own show. It’s available on the blog here and is well worth your 60 mins.

And Finally – Oh… My… God. Thank you GQ. **Sob** Just thank you. Olivia Wilde pics and video below the cut.
