Brad Morely was a rising star in the world of architecture. At 27 he made waves at Perkowitz + Ruth with his outside the box thinking and quickly left to branch out & make a name for himself. His cutting edge designs brought him celebrity status and put his small firm, Fully Erect, on the map. Soon after his career began to skyrocket, Brad also celebrated the birth of his newborn daughter Megan Fox Johansson. Everything had been going his way. He had a beautiful 5 story house out in Rancho Palos Verdes and his wife recently became a model for the Italian fashion house, Fendi.
Tragically this was all taken away last week when Brad suffered a massive heart attack at his home on Thursday. And even more tragic, none of this was real. His accomplishments were achieved by his profile character “Brad-a tat tat” for the Sims 3 video game. Outside of this virtual world, Brad was a Barista at Starbucks who was struggling to keep his 30 hours a week for the coffee empire. His girlfriend, Sandra, came home to their apartment Thursday night around 7 when she found him slumped over in his usual spot on the couch with the TV blaring. On the table was a pack of cigarettes, some chips, 3 layer bean dip, and a diet coke. He hadn’t visited the doctor in over 3 years, but reports indicate that heart attacks were common in his family. Sandra was heartbroken, but had this to say,” Brad was a great guy. I can’t believe he’s gone. But I’m going to keep Brad’s legacy alive by continuing his game in his memory.”

MTV has been promoting the trailer for the new video game series, Batman: Akham Asylum. I'm sorry, did we say new game series? We really meant the newest sequel to Metal Gear solid, this time with Batman skins instead of Mr. Snake.
You have to infiltrate an enemy stronghold without being seen, heard or reported. Sound familiar? Well, watch the trailer, and you will get a distinct feeling of deja vu as you watch Mr. Wayne crawling behind walls and choking out baddies with guns that so conviently look the wrong way. I'm just wondering where the orange crates are?
Not to knock them or anything, can you blame Eidos for wanting a slice of a good game design? I wonder what Lara Croft has to say about this...
