A new film biography centered around Richard "Lord British" Garriott has been released. The film is called "Man on a Mission: Richard Garriott’s Road to the Stars" and centers around Garriott's dream to go to space which he ultimately did in 2008.

The film by Mike Woolf and First Run Features tracked Garriott’s trip into space on board a Russian Soyuz rocket. In chronicling his preparations, the filmmakers went behind the old Iron Curtain to reveal the way the Russians train their cosmonauts at a once secret training base in Star City, near Moscow, and send them into space from a base in Kazakhstan.

A new world record for simultaneous FPS participants was set over the weekend. Man vs. Machine, a browser title from MuchDifferent, is the new champion thanks to its ability to support 999 players on a single battlefield at the same time.

MuchDifferent CEO Christian Lonnholm says that Man vs. Machine smashed the previous record of 600 simultaneous combatants held by Sony Online Entertainment’s PlanetSide, and he also viewed the event as a resounding success despite missing the stated 1,000-player goal by a single digit.

“I am very proud that we could show the world such a massive game with no lag and great responsiveness,” Lonnholm said. “We never managed to get the full thousand, though, because of the inherent unpredictability of the internet with players constantly timing out and logging out.”

Head past the cut for a video of the record-setting event.

Is stealing a virtual good deserving of a real-world criminal sentence? According to a recent ruling by the Dutch Supreme Court, the answer is “yes.”

The court recently upheld a ruling of a criminal case in which teens attacked another youth and forced him at knifepoint to relinquish his possessions in RuneScape, including an in-game amulet and knife.

The incident happened in 2007, and a lower court convicted the two thieves in 2009. One of the defendants then appealed to the country’s supreme court on the grounds that the stolen goods “were neither tangible nor material and, unlike for example electricity, had no economic value.”

However, the judges declared that these virtual items had value because they represented “time and energy invested” to acquire. The thieves were sentenced to 144 hours of community service.

League of Legends has launched a new champion Ziggs, the Hexplosives Expert. The first thing you’ll notice about Ziggs is that he doesn’t get anything for free, it requires a strong throwing arm and keen aim to get the most out of him, trading safety and caution for massive damage opportunities and insane poke. Ziggs bounces, a new skill shot paradigm, bombs along the ground at his foes and blasts them to smithereens, providing he can predict his enemy’s movements effectively.

Abilities:

-    Bouncing Bomb – Ziggs throws a bouncing bomb that deals magic damage.-    Satchel Charge - Ziggs flings an explosive charge that detonates after 4 seconds, or when this ability is activated again. The explosion deals magic damage to enemies, knocking them away. Ziggs is also knocked away, but takes no damage.-    Hexplosive Minefield – Ziggs scatters proximity mines that detonate on enemy contact, dealing magic damage and slowing.-    Mega Inferno Bomb (Ultimate) – Ziggs deploys his ultimate creation, the Mega Inferno Bomb, hurling it an enormous distance, Enemies in the primary blast zone take more damage than those further away.-    Short Fuse (Passive) – Every 12 seconds Ziggs’ next basic attack deals bonus magic damage. This cooldown is reduced whenever Ziggs uses an ability. More >
