The eighth and final Harry Potter movie made box office history over its opening weekend, raking in a whopping $168 million. It marks the end of a decade of Harry Potter films that have captivated audiences all over the world, and seeing it end is a bit nostalgic. The most recent opening shattered previous records for ticket sales, and even nudged ahead of the coveted Batman film The Dark Knight, which only brought in $158 million.
This is a tremendous feat for a movie in an opening weekend, but the fact that it is Harry Potter is not surprising at all. The series has been a staple of many peoples childhood, and as it finally comes to a close, the hype has been unbelievable. I was not one of those who battled my way into an opening night showing, but a vast number of people showed up for Harry Potter opening festivities all over the world.

The Last Guardian
Well if you all have been waiting for the release of The Last Guardian from Fumito Ueda for as long as I have, you may be in for yet another disappointment. The Last Guardian has been set to release for the past couple years now and it keeps getting pushed back. The biggest disappointment was when it was set to release back in November of 2010, right around my birthday. So I didnt get to go buy myself an awesome birthday present unfortunately.

We arent called Evil Controllers for an ambiguous reason. People forget that we can be evil, due to our accessible gaming products, and our dedication to our customers. Accordingly, we like to remind ourselves of our evil standards. Recently, our web designer felt the need to take a vacation for his Fathers wedding. Fair enough, it was a good reason, but vacations do not go unnoticed at the office, and a welcome back prank had to be set into motion.
The floor of his office was completely covered with cups of water the day he was due to return to work, a whopping 1200 in total. Imagine his surprise when he walks into the office clear-headed only to find that he is literally unable to enter his workspace. The prank went off flawlessly as Evil Courtney and Evil Carlos secretly filmed the whole event and our web designers reaction.
