The next installment of Fatal Frame, easily one of the scariest horror franchises of all time, has just been announced, and it’s going to be released on the Nintendo Wii! There is not a horror film in existence that can compete with these games. I can’t even imagine how terrifying this is going to be with Wii controls.

Found via Wonderland.

Hmmmm, now that it’s so close to Halloween, this might be the perfect time to finish game three.

Bonus link for those who’ve played the games – a chart showing the correlations between all three of them.

According to Dr. Al-Marshood, the two commission members approached the girls in order to “politely” advise and guide them regarding their inappropriate clothing.

Consequently, the two girls started verbally abusing the commission members, which then lead to one of the girls pepper-spraying them in the face as the other girl filmed the incident on her mobile phone, while continuing to hurl insults at them.

I hope those girls danced their asses off that night.

Found through BoingBoing.

It just doesn’t get any more bad-ass than this.

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Spider Girls:

Police have arrested two members of one of Chile’s most notorious gangs, known as the Spider Girls.

The all-girl gang of teenagers were infamous for climbing up buildings in Santiago to burgle luxury apartments.

In a spate of high-profile robberies in 2005, they made off with thousands of pounds worth of jewellery.

…

The gang members were arrested last year but three of them were sent to reform school rather than prison because of their age.

They vowed to change their ways but after being released, one Spider Girl, Yasna, returned to her old tricks, recruiting a new member, Marcielle.

Despite both being heavily pregnant, they still managed to climb up to the third floor of some flats.

. . .

One ex-Spider Girl, Jocelyn, said of the gang’s motivation: “We did it because we wanted money in our pockets. We like to buy new clothes.”

Damn that’s cool.
