    Sony Admits That It Didn't Do Enough With the PSP

    I was one of the 3 people in the entire world who shelled out serious cash for the PSP Go when it first came out. Yeah. Even got one of those ridiculously pointless docking stands for it so it'll stand upright. Did you know that when the PSP Go's controls are slid back to the closed position...

    California Assembly Approves $1 Billion "Internet Tax"

    This is a really messy issue, which is why nothing much has been done about it. As someone who programs shopping cart software for online retailers, I can say that the current rules in place forces online retailers who ship products to customers who live in a state where the retailer has a...

    The Big Picture: PC Gaming Is Dead - Long Live PC Gaming!

    I consider consoles to be "entry level" video gamer equipment. Fine for people on a budget, people getting started in the medium or people with minimal technical expertise. I suppose that makes me a snob. Ok, yep, I'm a snob. With good reason, mind you. A good gaming PC, while expensive and...

    Daily Drop: Spare Change

    As an American who has since immigrated to Canada, I can verify that Canadian coins are almost identical in color, shape, weight, and with the recent economic downturn in the States, value, to American coins. With the notable exception of the Canadian $2 coin, which denomination only exists as a...

    LoadingReadyRun: Cursing

    How come whenever I go to Beacon Hill Park, I never find a camera crew or hilarious people? I would've let you guys insult me. :p

    Daily Drop: Camembert Cheese Wheel

    I think in this case, it's best to admit that a truly stalwart cheese has snatched victory from the jaws of the concrete floor, (assuming floors have jaws) and move on before the Crowbar potentially suffers a disgraceful defeat as well. I mean, the cheese was so epic, it managed to change the...

    Charlie Sheen's Rehab Might Cost CBS, WB Millions

    For being the son of the Illusive Man, he really needs to get his act together. I wonder if the "unspecified rehabilitation facility" is actually a Cerberus facility.

    Poll: Would you use holodeck technology for porn?

    Judging by the success of the porn industry on the Internet, I think the real question is - would it be used for anything else? Even on Star Trek, it was used for porn. There were several story arcs in ST:TNG where main characters would fall in love with fictional holodeck characters. In DS9...

    Poll: 2nd Amendment bug you? Me too.

    This is the most common argument I get from friends of mine who have conceal carry permits. "If criminals can get guns illegally, why shouldn't I be allowed to carry one legally to defend myself?" The problem with any gun control laws is that a law can't control guns in the US. There are...

    Trailers: XCOM Trailer

    Yeah, I liked UFO: Enemy Unknown / X-COM: UFO Defense, or whatever you want to call it. I've still got it in my old collection of DOS games. It was fun at the time, and when I'm feeling nostalgic I'll boot it up and play it for a while. Having said that, however, I would like to point out...

    The Big Picture: Nerd Gods

    Fine video, Bob, thanks for making it! I'd just like to make the point that religion, throughout history, has done a lot of good for humanity. It's also had quite a few blunders. I believe, for many people, it still has relevance in modern society. However, as an atheist, I believe that...

    "Kill Castro" Mission Leads to Black Ops Boycott Call

    So... They classify this game as "pornography" and demand its boycott - but do nothing about actual pornography? Last time I checked, you can buy actual porn magazines in pretty much every convenience store in North America. And when I was a kid, man, I would've loved to get my hands on some of...
