Happy Steel Day, everybody! Naomi here with your Fix for August 15th. Yep, today marks the 14th Anniversary of the classic superhero movie, Steel. Never forget.
Big news for Google! The software giant announced their plans to buy Motorola Mobility for 12.5 billion dollars. As you probably already know, Motorola Mobility makes cell phones and the Xoom tablet. And Google makes Android, which is software that you put on cell phones and tablets. Sounds like a good match to me. Anyway, the multibillion dollar deal is still in its early stages, so it will still take awhile before it's set in stone. No word on how this will affect Motorola's cell-phone lineup, but you can probably expect a bunch of Android phones in the future.
Attention League of Legends fans -- it's time to stop sucking. Riot Games announced details for League of Legends Season Two. Hold on to your butts because Season 2 will have a prize pool of $5 MILLION dollars. If you remember, Season One had a prize pool for $100k so this is a preeeetty big upgrade. Season 2 is scheduled for this fall and will feature weekly live streams in both North America and Europe.
In movie news, Austin Powers will return. Yeeah baby...that one took awhile. Hitfix is reporting that Mike Myers is locked and loaded for a fourth movie. No more details were given but we haven't seen Austin since 2002. Could Steel 2 be next? The answer is no.
Speaking of superheroes, live on IGN is a brand new Arkham City trailer. This one showcases Mr. Freaking Freeze, so you won't want to miss it.
Also, as a general PSA, Gamescom starts this Wednesday! Gamescom is a huge games convention that takes place in Germany, and you can bet your britches that IGN will be there. And as a special treat, we're also holding our very first People's Choice Award at the show. Fans will get to vote on their favorite Gamescom game, so come back on Wednesday to vote!

And that's your Fix for August 15th, 2011. I'm Naomi Kyle and be sure to get your Fix anytime, online here at IGN.com.
