    The Tao of Notch - Beyond Twitter

    What an awesome interview and fantastic scoop. Notch seems like he has a real good head on his shoulders for all this internet drama and bull.

    Ghostbusters - It Has Women in It!

    This review failed to mention a few things that I think are important. 1) The story structure is cribbed from the original Ghostbusters almost beat for beat. It almost certainly does not "do it's own thing" and it will be more apparent if you are very familiar with the original movie and you...

    Review Scores are Shit

    I don't mind review "scores" depending on how they are used. If they are used by the reviewer to quantify an opinion about something, then that's fine I suppose, if they are used by a system like metacritic completely devoid of context of the original review, then that's garbage because I have...

    "YouTube Red" is YouTube's New, Ad-skipping $10-a-Month Premium Service

    Honestly, the fact that Youtube let Netflix beat them to the punch on original content has always struck me as one of the biggest mistakes they made. It reminds me of how Meg Whitman screwed up with eBay and didn't bother to roll out in several lucrative markets until it was too late (with Japan...

    Meet Saya, an Ultra Realistic, Computer Generated Japanese Schoolgirl

    Well, I thought it was more humorous to be sarcastic than to point out your cultural xenophobia! Here's a deal: In Japan, all young girls are school girls. In fact, they go to school 6 days a week and most students will have to attend bukatsu (particularly sports clubs) on Saturday and...

    Meet Saya, an Ultra Realistic, Computer Generated Japanese Schoolgirl

    You should write the Diet (国会) and suggest a saturation limit for the representations of schoolgirls in Japanese media. After all, you appear to be some sort of authority on what's acceptable, so why would they argue with that solid reasoning? o.O

    Meet Saya, an Ultra Realistic, Computer Generated Japanese Schoolgirl

    Creepily enough she looks identical to a girl that I dated in college, right down to the tiny mole under the left eye. I'm actually weirded-out right now.

    Marvel May Have Snatched Fantastic Four Movie Rights - Update

    The Fantastic Four has long been one of my favorite comic books and it's especially good when they go for that throwback pulpy adventure feel to their storylines and mostly stay out of whatever lame drama is going on in the main 616 universe, so if they do manage to realize a F4 movie then I...

    Introducing the 3D-Printed, Ocean-Cleaning Eco-Bikini

    This honestly seems like more of a selling point to me...

    FX Developing 'Y: The Last Man' Series

    This is a terrible mess of a comic book with a meandering plot that would make anything written by Dan Brown seem like Agatha Christie. If Saga is the best comic series he's ever written (and I think it probably is), then Y: The Last Man is the stinky mistake that you hide in basement when...

    Still Bummed by Mass Effect 3's Ending? Cheer Up With This LEGO Reaper

    You know what makes me feel good about Mass Effect 3's ending? Not giving Bioware any more money :)

    Daredevil Season 2 Trailer Teases Elektra, The Punisher

    The first season of this was pretty good, but the Netflix level of production values really shows in the fighting choreography. Supposedly Marvel anted up 200 million dollars for this show and the others that it's putting together with Netflix, so 200 mil over 60 episodes, but I have a hard time...

    Pan - Some Things Shouldn't Exist

    Did they completely ret-con her out of the 616 universe? I thought that she had married Flash and then they got divorced when Flash cheated on her with Betty. Honestly, I don't really know these days I stopped following Spider-Man for two long periods - right after "One More Day" for a few...

    Pan - Some Things Shouldn't Exist

    All this does is make me want to play Tropico 2: Pirate Cove. Maybe we should just discuss good pirate themed games instead of this craptastic movie?

    So, Bahar Mustafa has been charged with RMMC (according to the Guardian)

    Well, asides from the fact as a non-caucasian (as if my surname didn't give that away) that I have first hand experience with prejudice and bigotry and hence can recognize it fairly easily, I would also have to add that the prejudice in her statements is implicit. The demand that people of a...
