    Scientists Baffled By Seemingly Faster-Than-Light Particles

    Of course, no one mentions the experiments done on Supernova 1987A, which was essentially the same experiment performed by OPERA over a much larger distance. In the case of the thirteen neutrinos that were triangulated back to 1987a (yes, I said thirteen neutrinos), they were all found to travel...

    Is a PS3 worth it?

    I've had both a PS3 and a 360 for quite awhile now, and I've been spending much more time on my PS3 than my 360. I like the community better, and I've found the exclusive titles that Sony's managed to nab have been more entertaining on the whole than those that Microsoft has wrangled. It does...

    UPDATE Swiss Police Want The Darkness II Banned

    To be fair, not all Californians are liberals. As a matter of fact, many parts of Northern California have more in common with parts of the American South than they do with the larger cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles. On topic: Not surprised. Any time a game might possibly contain...

    Red vs. Blue Season 9

    I have been awaiting this with great anticipation. Granted, most of the episodes aren't as consistently funny as they were in the earlier seasons (1-4), but the new action and plot emphasis is making the series much more entertaining to watch overall. And the incredible increase in animation...

    Dust 514

    I'm honestly looking forward to Dust 514 (and I say this as someone who kind of fell out of MMO-gaming awhile back). It's got the same sort of tone and overall feel as MAG (another PS3-excluive shooter that was glorious in its hayday), and the persistent, evolving universe should keep the game...

    Escape to the Movies: X-Men: First Class

    Just saw it tonight, loved it. The nifty little cameo's by Storm and Jackman were awesome, and almost all the characters felt very real (not a fan of the chick playing "Angel", nor am I all that impressed with Mystique's performance. She came off very flat-faced most of the time). I also have to...

    Poll: Magic the gathering. What color do you prefer?

    I enjoyed using my artifact deck to mana-burn myself for 50 life with a combination of Gemstone Array and Extra-Planar lens.

    Poll: Magic the gathering. What color do you prefer?

    Played that, and Yu-Gi-Oh for awhile. Sadly, I found neither game to have the sheer depth that Magic offers (though that's not surprising).

    Poll: Magic the gathering. What color do you prefer?

    I use an artifact deck, supplimented with a handful of blue, black, and red creatures/mana. Things like Bosh, Iron Golem and Darksteel Citadel, and a few Mephitic Oozes for good measure.

    Overpopulation. Resources running out. What do we do about these things?

    As dark, vile, and inhumane as it sounds, I've always been of the mind that it's better for us to act on this rather than wait for nature to take its course. Cull the least productive members of society, and manually reduce the population, because mother nature doesn't discriminate between...

    Sony Restores the PlayStation Network

    Latest wave just went live, and North Carolina is back. It's about time.

    Im finally an adult!

    Have to agree with Fleischer, though you don't necessarily need to marry someone to be able to operate an effective budget. I've been fortunate that my current university not only has the best department in the state for my selected major, but also offers enough financial aid that I can attend...

    You've been sucked into a game you hate

    Trapped forever inside Counter-Strike? It's gonna be a looooooong lifetime.

    Who else is actually getting these bad boys?

    Nope. Never played Persona (nothing against the franchise, I just haven't played it), and so I have little to no desire to spend $50+ on glasses that don't improve my eyesight.

    How does a "Portal" deathmatch sound?

    I always thought capture the flag would be perfectly suited to Portal's mechanics.
