Thursday shorts: Braben and Metacritic for journalists, fart jar for SR3

The creator of tit-heavy MMO Evony are suing a modder for $1 million for apparently selling auto-playing bots and a map. Kotaku has the story.
“Microsoft Looking For The Next Generation Of Game Designers,” is GayGamer‘s headline. It’s not for the next-gen Xbox: it uses Kodu Game Lab.
Sony’s released a new SOCOM 4 clip. It features dancing. You’ll be allowed to dance over your opponent’s bullet-filled body, supposedly. US PS Blog has it.
Mattel’s trademarked Stretch Armstrong for videogames, according to GamesRadar. Amazing.
Volition’s telling users to speak up if you want to see the fart in the jar for Saints Row: The Third. Do you? Say so on Twitter.
There’s a Tim Schafer interview on Gameranx. Nathan did this when he was at PAX East. Give it a read.
