COLLEGE PARK - The sights looked familiar at Cole Field House last night. Guard Juan Dixon's shot was deadly. Point guard Steve Blake broke down the opposing defense repeatedly and found the open man. Center Lonny Baxter was his old, burly self in the paint. Forward Chris Wilcox rattled the rim with a handful of dunks. And after disposing of the EA Sports All-Stars, 98-80, in its exhibition opener before an announced crowd of 10,612, Maryland must deal with the unfamiliar. On Thursday, the Terps, ranked in the top three in numerous preseason polls and intent on returning to the Final Four, will open their real season at the earliest date in school history by facing Arizona in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Electronic Arts has reached preliminary settlement with the consumer protection law firm Hagens Berman, who filed suit against the company for violating antitrust and consumer protection laws in making its popular football video games. The settlement has not been approved by U.S District Court, but if it is confirmed as it stands, a $27 million fund would be set up to pay out purchasers of EA's football games since 2005. According to a press release by Hagens Berman, the suit was originally filed in 2008.

On Thursday, the entire staffs of 38 Studios and Big Huge Games were given pink slips. The company, which released “Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning” (which I reviewed in February ), was in partnership with the state of Rhode Island to bring jobs into the state and give former MLB pitcher Curt Schilling's 38 Studios fuel to evolve into a big-time game developer. The company was in the midst of developing a project called “Copernicus,” an MMORPG based in the same universe as “Amalur.” Big Huge Games, based in Timonium, became a subsidiary of 38 Studios almost three years ago to the day. The Sun's Gus Sentementes was over at Big Huge ' s offices before being booted out today , but it seems the entire teams at both companies have indeed been let go. WPRI has an exce llent timeline of how the tax credit and loan between the state of Rhode Island and 38 Studios developed.

Carnations and lilies were the final indignity. The bouquet, which arrived at her door on a sunny Saturday in September, were from her fiance, a video game programmer who was working his eighth consecutive 72-hour week. Far from being flattered, the woman poured out her anger and frustration in a 2,000-word essay that she posted on the Internet under the pseudonym "ea_spouse." "The love of my life comes home late at night complaining of a headache that will not go away and a chronically upset stomach," she wrote.
