Last month we reported that Interplay's Alan Pavlish ended his fourteen year career at Tantrum Studios to take a job at Origin. GA-Source followed that up with an interview. The interviewer makes a few noticeable assumptions in the interview, but the probing results in some interesting allusion to future online games. You can find the complete interview here.

Although we strive to be as accurate as possible in the Trivia scoring, occasionally things crop up. This past week something was overwritten and the result was that about twenty people didn't receive proper credit for Week 35. We're pretty safe about backing up and all the "lost" scores have since been recovered. The scary thing is that only one of twenty people noticed their score was incorrect. I goof up from time to time, so it'd be a good idea in the future if Trivia players checked both the Player Details and Scoreboard to ensure that I've correctly scored your answers. Feel free to email us in the future if you find an error.

Large quantities of Iridium, a highly anti-corrosive substance that will not decay in the presence of Uric acid, are required for the manufacture of bladder plugs, mechanical devices that regulate the flow of urine out of the bladder. Iridium prices are said to have risen considerably.
