    Shows that Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot

    Why has no one mentioned Star Trek Voyager? Stranded on the far side of the galaxy without allies and limited resources, some how the crew managed to fire fifty-three extra of their non-replaceable photon torpedos. They also managed to crash nine more shuttles than they had on board plus build...

    Tumblr Convention "Disaster" DashCon Gives Official Statement

    I'd be half tempted to go just see if they CAN pull it off. I'd be fully tempted if they promised the return of the ball pit! Viva la piscine à balles!

    UAE Announces Plans for a Mission to Mars in 7 Years

    This IS the UAE and if they make a space probe like they make their skyscrapers, then it's going to be Emirates citizens in the management roles, but when when it comes to building and operating the thing, those actually DOING the mission are going to be an uncredited consortium of Indians...

    Futurama Intro Skyline Recreated in Glorious 3D

    It's from the Forrest Gump Score, particularly the "Run Forrest Run!" bit. I was going to make a Run Bender Run joke before you asked.

    Help me restore my faith in humanity: What can get my mind off GoT?

    I recently re-watched the entirety of Lucky Star. I find an episode of that usually cures what ails you. Another anime I've found recently is Girl und Panzer Schoolgirls and mock(bloodless) tank combat. How could that go wrong?

    Nicolas Cage is Left Behind in New Trailer

    Man I feel bad. I almost want to start up a collection for the guy. I'm just hopping this is a Neddard Stark, "I just died to prove shit just got real. Now let me cash my check and slink off so I can pretend I wasn't here." role. On second thought, this film DOES open on my birthday...

    Fossil Discovery Suggests Sharks Are More Evolved Than Previously Thought

    Damn! It's a sad day for me. I rather liked thinking of sharks as the OGs of the sea.

    Criticisms of video games you are tired of hearing

    I have two and they both irritate the hell out of me! Number one: When people use the existence of games like Flower and Gone Home to bash the CoDs and GTAs of the world. Gaming is a big space and should have room for all kinds of experiences. Why do some like making this swipe at...

    PlayStation 4 Price Rises By $50 in Canada

    Sadly I CAN see MS doing this, Though hopefully memories of last year will stay their hand. They can at least not look like relative jerks to my fellow North Americans.

    Hey Microsoft! Remember last year when Sony was drinking your milkshake with the PS4? Just saying there's an opportunity here!

    Modder Splices Resident Evil Mercenaries Mode Into DOOM

    Things like this, these are the reasons I have never completely stopped playing Doom. Even after twenty years there's always some new mod that changes the game in a new and fun way such as this.

    Escapist News Now: New Firefly Project In The Works

    An updated version of Escape Velocity is my best bet. I remember back in the day how much the show seemed to mirror my adventures in that game.

    RWBY "White" Trailer

    I get impressions of their characters. Ruby likes to fight. She's self assured. Weiss is more a quiet girl she's sad about something in her past. She'll still kick seven kinds of ass, but it seems the knight has some ill defined connection to her torment. On a side not did anyone notice...

    Scraping the Bottom

    Ouch MovieBob! I know you're a Coastie Liberal, but can you at least TRY to hide your disdain for those of us in the Fly-over states? Admittedly I live in a state where more than a few of the necks are red, but also there's plenty people who'd agree with your points if you just didn't dismiss...

    Carly Rae Jepsen's new song irks me...

    My only real problem with the song and the video is its juvenile nature. All well and good considering the demographic usually served by pop music, but Carly Rae Jepsen is 26(27 this month)!
