• Channel 4 plans to show a three-part documentary series about the University of Abertay’s Dare To Be Digital competition, starting Sunday March 27 at 7:25am.
• Molyneux once received a death threat. The police busted in on the wrong guy. He had it coming though, as he owned a sawed-off shotgun.
• Those who play FarmVille can now leap through the English countryside as a Dashing Gent, repair cottages, grow foxgloves, and play with Dorking chickens.
• The Can You Out Dance Kylie Minogue Dance Central competition is is full swing. See the video of it featuring herself over on YouTube. It’s a tad gross honestly.
• Engadget has posted a video of Super Mario reimagined as a first-person game. It rocks. Thanks, Mike.
• A couple dog related Minecraft videos: One shows how to do it doggy-style, and the other pet wolves.
• There’s a new Conduit 2 trailer here. It’s all about the environments, yo.
• Those in the UK who pre-order WWE All Stars can net themselves Million Dollar Man and Ted DiBiase as bonus characters.
• Dark Horse Comics is to digitally publish a comic based on Dungeon Siege.
• Mitsunori Takahashi thinks developing an “action-centric,” Final Fantasy game “revolving around party battles would be very interesting.”
• Rock Band 3 is getting the Billy Joel Piano Challenge Pack on March 22.
• The Kinect version of the Zumba Fitness craze has a demo available on XBL starting today.
• Big Blue Bubble’s Burn the Rope is available on iPad today.
• GoNintendo has three videos for LEGO Star Wars III posted. Have a watch. Or three.
• A fella versed in stocks and such reckons Activision is “poised for a down year.”
• Stardock wants you to design an Elemental trait for the Fallen Enchantress, and it might end up in the game.
• There’s a new God of Thunder trailer here. No, it’s not Gene Simmons either.
• Boondock Saints director and writer, Troy Duffy, told folks at SXSW 2011 he is considering a game based on the films. Duffy has heard a pitch and even played a early part. We dunno whether to be thrilled or pissed.
