    The Big Picture: The New Originals

    Eh... I get you, Bob. I really, really do. But what I hate about this is that I, a member of the British viewing public (which, let's face it, the Hollywood system has a low opinion of already - see the official response to the poor box office of "Epic") should bear the brunt of creative...

    Feed Dump: Guessing Games

    Actually, it was Missouri. And the name change didn't stop them, they were dropped from the program because they were too damn lazy to pick up a single bit of trash. Ladies and Gentlemen, the master race. http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/rosapark.asp

    Get Custom Shoes Made From Genetically-Engineered Stingrays

    Ethics aside (and honestly, I think the more interesting discussion here is the examination of how we define when something crosses an ethical line), this is outside the realm of reality. See here for some geneticists' thoughts on the story...

    The Big Picture: Rock of Ages

    I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up, I'm starting to feel a little jaded.

    Poll: First Person and 3D - the same part of the brain?

    So last week my husband and I went and saw the Avengers in 3D. We saw it on opening night in 2D and it was fabulous (obviously, since I went to see it again). And honestly - the 3D ruined it. Some scenes gave me headaches, other scenes looked paradoxically more "flat" than they had in the 2D...

    The Big Picture: Found in Translation

    I've never seen any of this show - never even heard of it before The Big Picture. Will definitely have to see if I can hunt down some clips. The story of the translation reminds me of the Magic Roundabout, a French children's program that was bought by the BBC. Ostensibly the Beeb did not...

    Poll: Where are you from?

    I'm "from" the US, born in Virginia, grew up in New York (no, not manhattan) and lived just about everywhere else at some point. Now I live in England and am looking forward to getting my pretty burgundy passport next year.

    "Family Values" Groups Launch Email Campaign Against BioWare

    I'm not sure if I'm more offended at the homophobia, or the notion that Star Wars games are for children.

    Zero Punctuation: NeverDead

    This disappoints me so much - when I saw ND on the release schedule I thought "wow, an original and innovative combat mechanic. Maybe it will be a combat-centric game that's actually fun to play". Given that I possess a working brain, I decided to wait until the reviews started coming out, and...

    Space Janitors: Episode One

    This shows a lot of promise - can't wait to see the rest :)

    Happy Action Theater Review

    Even if its not exactly a "game", I think this is a really encouraging development. Its good to see that developers are getting the hang of making the kinect actually work. I'm still waiting for a game to come out that actually makes me want to shell out for the kinect, but its good to see...
