    Sean Bean Wants to Return as Ned Stark in Game of Thrones

    I suppose part of the contract will be that ghost Ned will have to die/be sacrificed/soul eradicated.

    Supercomputer Will Manage Nuclear Weapons

    One supercomputer in charge of ALL the nuclear weapons? There is no way this could end badly. No sir.

    Christian Bale is Moses in First Trailer For Exodus

    First off, there is no evidence of this event ever happening. It's a fairytale. For all the attempts of archeologists, not one piece of convincing evidence has emerged to show that large numbers of jews were ever kept as slaves, let alone the plagues and exodus, which is all conveniently missing...

    Ken Levine Was Asked A Lot About Making BioShock Without Violence

    Look, I haven't played Bioshock:Infinite and have no real desire to play it anytime soon, but this is something that bugs me. I was playing Lara Croft yesterday and found the experience incredible, but incredibly jarring. I felt cognitive dissonance swelling in my head. On the one hand...

    North Korea Threatens War With US Over Seth Rogen Comedy

    Well the US is trying desperately to find a new war to keep the military industrial complex going (Iraq, Syria, all the other places John McCain wants to invade), so watch what you say North Korea. I wouldn't be surprised if the media war hype train started soon, with talking points like...

    R.I.P. Pluto. You'll always be a planet to me. :(

    Star Wars Episode VII Leaked Set Pictures Show New Creature, Tatooine?

    For such a 'backwater' planet, we do seem to see it a heck of a lot. Why does every important person have to come from Tatooine? Can't they come from Correllia or Coruscant or some world where the people aren't munching on mushrooms from their moisture vaporators 24/7?

    Elite: Dangerous "Premium Beta" Access Costs $150

    The number one reason paying for a beta is intolerably stupid is confirmation bias. Yeah, you heard me. The guy who shells out $150 for a game isn't going to be as critical of said game. He's going to look for the good bits and downplay the bad. He's not going to be objective in his...

    Report: Yahoo Considers Creating Its Own Version of YouTube

    They should do this but do it properly. Getting good competition to what is a monopoly is essential.

    Obsidian Entertainment Announces Free-To-Play Armored Warfare Tank Sim

    How are they going to make a modern tank game when half of tank armour today is 'classified'? I also assume it's going to be an arcady shoot-em up, rather than battling over kilometres. I like World of Tanks and War Thunder Ground Forces, so I'll keep an eye on this, but I don't have high...

    Thief Review - The Meh Project

    This review is meh. Doesn't tell me anything about the game. Seriously, every other review on Thief is so ambigious as to why it's 'bad'. If it's such a mess explain why. That's the point of a review.

    Lesbian Wedding at Tokyo Disneyland Inspires Manga

    I thought Disneyland didn't recognize gay Disneyland days as an official thing?

    Study Shows How Planets with Binary Stars, Like Tatooine, Form

    Wasn't Tattooine bombed so heavily that almost all of the plant life was killed off?
