In an attempt to make AGI as interactive as possible we're beginning to post our rundowns of each show right on the message boards, that way you can let us know what you think of each aspect of the show even before it airs. See an interesting news topic or a cool video post it to the board so we can try and include it in the show. Have the inside scoop on something industry related? Let us know so we can credit you for it. Feel like we've talked a topic to death? Let us know so we can consider getting rid of it. This is the All Games Communities chance to produce the show the All Games Community wants to hear. So let's begin our experiment in interactivity like so . . .
Peace, Knowledge, and Truth,

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/04/21/foiled-columbine-copycats-are-gamers-so/
Police foiled the school shooting plot of five Riverton, Kansas youths yesterday after being tipped off to their plans via MySpace.
Yesterday's date was significant in that it marked the anniversary of the Columbine high school shooting in Colorado in 1999 and was also Adolf Hitler's birthday
CNN reports that "investigators had learned the suspects were computer buffs who liked violent video games."
Jolie Signs Up for Another Tomb Raider Flick
http://www.darkhorizons.com/news06/060420l.php
Angelina Jolie will be reprising her role as Lara Croft in "Tomb Raider 3" reports Britain's The Daily Express.
Jolie will be required to start training almost immediately after her new child's birth. Jolie is currently residing in Nambia with Brad Pitt and their two adopted children awaiting the birth of their child.
Despite both previous "Tomb Raider" films getting a critical drubbing, the films took in $274 million and $156 million in their theatrical runs and did booming business on DVD. The gaming franchise, which suffered from poor sequels, bounced back in recent weeks with the new release "Tomb Raider: Legend" landing in top sales spots around the globe and enjoying very good reviews.
Jolie is also presently attached to a variety of projects including two further sequels next year - "Sin City 2" and "Ocean's Thirteen".
CPU Upgrade For 360 In 07
http://www.joystiq.com/2006/04/21/xbox-360-to-get-cpu-upgrade-in-2007/
In a joint announcement, Microsoft and the manufacturer of the Xbox 360's CPU, Chartered Semiconductor, have announced that the console's processor will receive an upgrade in 2007
The upgrade will move the chip's design to a 65nm manufacturing process (the existing CPU is based on 90nm technology) which will provide lower power consumption and a smaller heat output
It's expected that the upgrade will not alter the processor's performance as this could cause compatibility issues with games already released or currently under development for the Xbox 360
Although the launch of the Xbox 360 was touted by Microsoft as a successful one, a vocal minority of people reported that their consoles were crashing due to overheating
VNUNet points out that console manufacturers often take advantage of new processor technology as it becomes available, so this may not be a direct response to Xbox 360 overheating issues.
