 <title>Gimmick or Genius?</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/sherri-l-smith/high-wire/gimmick-or-genius</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;In the gaming world, the only thing better than beating the game is beating others in said game. The feeling of omnipotent pwnage received from being the last man or woman standing after a frantic deathmatch keeps many players online looking for bigger and better competition. Most gamers simply play for bragging rights but &lt;a title=&quot;Bringit.com&quot; href=&quot;http://bringit.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Bringit.com&lt;/a&gt; wants players to put their money where their controllers are – literally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/sherri-l-smith/high-wire/gimmick-or-genius&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/sherri-l-smith/high-wire/it-finally-game-over</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
In the midst of this economic downturn, many industries have taken huge hits to their bottom lines forcing them to cut jobs and batten down the hatches for the rough times ahead. One industry that seemed to dodge the doom and gloom of the weakening economy was the gaming industry.

 <title>Burning a Hole In My Pocket</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/sherri-smith/high-wire/burning-hole-my-pocket</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Since this recession-that’s not a recession-that is a recession landed the sucker punch heard ‘round the world on the U.S. economy, Americans have had to tighten the purse strings. As food and gas prices soar to budget-shattering heights, many are left living paycheck-to-paycheck or robbing Peter to pay Paul. While the housing, banking, and restaurant industries are feeling the pinch, the entertainment industry is thriving.

 <title>Seven Concept Cars You Wish You Could Own </title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/articles/2008/07/concept-cars</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Flashy and innovative, concepts offer auto designers the opportunity to let their imaginations run wild. From beginning to end, designers can spend anywhere from six months to two years bringing a concept to market. Some have already gone into production; others we can only cross our fingers about.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;BMW GINA Light Visionary Concept&lt;/strong&gt;

 <title>A Titan is Born: Activision Set to Merge With Vivendi Games</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/sherri-smith/high-wire/titan-born-activision-set-merge-vivendi-games</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Gaming just got a little more serious with the upcoming &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080708/tc_nm/activision_vivendi_dc;_ylt=AtZBCXKuZ7_t73YacF.VkkUK77EF&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;merger&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;merger&lt;/a&gt; between video game publishers Activision Inc. and Vivendi Games. The merger will bring landmark titles “Guitar Hero”, “Call of Duty” and “World of Warcraft” under one lucrative roof, creating Activision Blizzard. While this deal is a very good move for shareholders, what about the consumer – the mercurial gamer? Will game quality be affected, and if so how?

 <title>Eight Concept Cars That&#039;ll Never See Production</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/multimedia/slideshows/content/concept-cars.html</link>

 Its name says it all. The Hollywood 300C was built as the ultimate luxury car for the guy who has everything. Modeled after the limos from the 1920&#039;s, the car is a modified Chrysler 300 sporting a longer wheel base, 22” wheels, suicide doors, and a luxurious leather interior with two 14” TVs with a compartment for the requisite champagne. Backseat passengers have the best advantage as the rear cabin of the Hollywood is fully enclosed, while the driver and the front-seat passenger sit in a convertible-like setting reminiscent of the coach-styled vehicles of the 20&#039;s.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fastcompany.com/multimedia/slideshows/content/concept-cars.html&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
