    Scientists Unveil Mind-Controlled Robot

    Just be a little skeptical if they try to call it a Surrogate. Unless you're Bruce Willis, in which case I imagine you'll still be making movies. And I'll probably see them.

    Marketing Effect 3

    How much of this is Bioware/EA? I know the developers have to design the DLC in the first place, but how much of this was pitched/is being handled by an outside marketing company? Or at least outside marketing consultation? I simply mean to suggest that it may not entirely be the creators...

    Escape to the Movies: The Phantom Menace 13 Years Later

    With mental blocks in place for Jar-Jar and the words "Midi Chlorians," I can easily offer the opinion that Phantom Menace is probably the best of the prequels. I watch the second two movies entirely for the battle sequences, which got technically more proficient but continually more shallow as...

    I Love You So Much I Might Even Call Sometime

    That part about going into convulsions just at the thought of calling in a pizza - that's literally me. My hands would shake just holding the phone. For pizza. (I'm sure it confused the hell out of my dad.) Took me years to get over it (I attribute a lot of that to going away to college, having...

    For Completionists: The Achievement/Trophy That Got Away

    One last Flag in Richard's Kingdom, AC1. I think it was bugged and wouldn't spawn. Also Mile High Club in MW.

    Japanese Scientists Unveil Thinking, Learning Robot

    Actually, I've never tried SPAM. I guess it deserves a fair try, but I'm definitely a fan of chili (plenty of partial variety, a bit more fiber.) But I actually have a pretty good variety going for the first 2-5 years. Except for fresh meat, bread, and dairy I'll barely notice a difference...

    Battlefield 3 Will Require Origin

    Well, I Was looking forward to this game. News like this causes that anticipation to wane a fair bit. Does anyone know if Origin will run similar to Steam, with offline options for the single player campaign?

    Japanese Scientists Unveil Thinking, Learning Robot

    Finally my wise and future-thinking investment in building an EMP-armed bunker below my apartment will pay off! I'll just go triple-check my inventory of bottled water and emergency rations.

    Blizzard Surprised by Reaction to Online-Only Diablo 3

    My immediate response to that is partially fueled by the ridiculous amount of trouble I've had with my internet lately. I hope that my problems are over for the time being, but while it was out my gaming options were definitely limited. Some games I couldn't play. Others I could, but the online...

    So my fellow nerds, what is this Doctor Who you speak of?

    If you have Netflix you can stream it, that's how I've been watching it. I think they technically have a lot of the older stuff too, but just start with the series that is listed for 2005. And as others have said, very British, the effects of the first season might throw you off, but trust me...

    Am I dooming my future children?

    New Jedi Order! I approve. OP: I thing both of those names look fine as far as tauntability goes (namely, no easy taunts spring to mind) but mispronunciation is pretty likely, especially with Maes, since there are so many options that kinda fit. But honestly, these are the sorts of things...

    Ok, the main character of the last game you played attacked you... How screwed are you?

    Who counts as the main character of an MMO? is it the player character? Because if I met my character in RL I think his icy cold stare would be enough to do me in right then and there. As for single player...ok that was an RTS, that's a whole other group of odd questions. Ok, last game I...

    Battlefield 3's Pre-Order Firepower Upsets Gamers

    Is there any word on what you do get with progression? Is it entirely possible that once you progress past a certain point these bonus weapons and accessories become obsolete anyway? Admittedly there is still an imbalance, because in the above scenario the people with the slight advantage...

    First thing you'd say after rising from a coma.

    "Dude, that was an epic party last night! ...Why are you all looking at me like that? And why isn't this my room?"

    Question of the Day, January 19, 2011

    We're all doomed!! ^my poll response. To be more specific, I sense an impending downward trend in the average lifespan. Darn, we were doing so well, too...
