Mouse House pulls in Spidey

Happy Monday afternoon! I"ve got a few tidbits to keep you moving throughout your day:

- Everyone has a gaming blog these days (haaaave I mentioned Captivate's new Gamer's Edge blog, debuting soon??), so it follows suit that our friends over at Digital Trends have launched a video blog with 'The Politics of Gaming.' Check it out if you have a few minutes.

- Guitar Hero 5 is going grunge with Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' plus a few other tracks that bring me back to the days of faded flannel shirts, dirty t-shirts and even dirtier jeans. Ah, the good old days. Funny I didn't even like Nirvana back then, either.

- Have you ever wanted to be a doll? And, I don't mean a 1940-something flapper with a feathered headband -- I mean, a real doll? A woman in Chicago specializes in turning regular people into a Barbie/Ken-sized doll, and the results are pretty amazing. All you need is a few pictures from different angles, which is great because the doll doesn't have to be of you! Ex-boyfriend voo-doo doll? No problem! Oh, the possibilities ...

- And, in today's big news, Disney has agreed to purchase Marvel Entertainment for $4B. You can vote in our Captivate poll to voice your snarky opinion on the merger -- but I'm just excited! I think this is a brilliant buy for the House of Mouse, and it speaks volumes for comics in general! Well, done!
