LEGO Batman website gets some updates, Facebook group


We just got a press release sent in about some cool features at the LEGO Batman website. The only problem is, these features have not gone live yet. That isn't stopping us from telling you what to expect, though.

First of all, there's a downloadable widget for your desktop, in the form of Batman himself or The Joker. Also, there's a tool for creating your own custom wallpapers, if you're into that sort of thing. Then, there's the usual: screens, video (the E3 trailer you saw already) and other miscellaneous goodies. Keep an eye on the site for the new content, which is supposed to be live right now, but wasn't when we checked.

On top of that, there's also a new Facebook group for the game. That is, if you're into the whole social networking site thing.

Nifty countdown timer for your desktop [update 1]


Filed in our "pretty nifty" folder, this desktop application will place a countdown timer to the Wii's launch in plain view, to be ogled by all the computer-using fanboys in the vicinity. We understand that not all of you may sit in front of a huge clock, just staring for hours, for fear of making the almost-criminal amount of time left until the console's launch go that much slower, as well as just plain old having better things to do, so that's why we bring you links to cool things like this. It's kind of our thing.

For those of you on Macs and in other regions:

[Update: Added in links for countdown clocks in other regions than the US for Mac users. Thanks Vidar!]

Fan-made Wii logos

IGN Board member _SER_ recently posted some cool desktops he made of mockup Wii logos. In the spirit of making up, we present these cool logos to our readers and Nintendo, asking that they forgive us. We'll call it the Wii, we'll do whatever you want us to do to make it all better, baby. We just want to make you feel special.

Can we have our mix tapes back?
