    Feed Dump: 16 Skulls and a Burning Building

    Holy shit that was funny. Sure, Alex is always great, but Beej has really grown on me.

    SCOTUS Actually Played "Violent Video Games" Before Ruling On Them

    I yield to your to your obvious proficiency in the field of weird similes. Your fame in this area of verbal fencing is truly well deserved.

    SCOTUS Actually Played "Violent Video Games" Before Ruling On Them

    That´s a weird simile. It´s not like they believe that email doesn´t exists or assume it´s powered by shoving kittens through pipes. They apparently simply don´t use it. Couple of years ago, I worked for a Prof. who never used email either. His staff did, as did his secretary, so it´s not...

    Splinter Cell: Blacklist Review

    I´m actually kind of okay with the new voice actor. He´s not great by any stretch of the imagination, but neither is he offensively bad. Taken on his own, he´s actually a decent VA. There is a fair bit of an age disconnect, granted, but it´s not like the guy sounds like a 10-year old. That...

    Are my fears of Dota well founded?

    Quite honestly ? Don´t bother. The fun to be had is not worth the amount of time you have to invest and the mountain of shit you have to suffer through. Unless you, for some reason, desperately want to play Dota AND you want to invest a ton of your time AND you have a couple of friends you can...

    Game of Thrones Creator : HBO's Iron Throne "Not What I Want"

    In the actual blog post, Martin points out that he understands and approves of all the decisions leading to the TV version of the throne (size, practicality etc). He also states that he actually "loves" the design. OP simply choose to not mention this and instead deliberately made it seem like...

    LoadingReadyRun: Man of Steal

    I don´t know, it´s just that I always imagined twigs would talk in a Russian accent. I don´t think the audience is quite ready yet for heat-vision based neurosurgery in their movies.

    LoadingReadyRun: Man of Steal

    Yes! This almost satisfies my weekly thirst for Cam and Cam-related videos. On an unrelated note, who told Beej that twigs are french ?

    Feed Dump: The Missing Toilet Paper

    That makes me feel like a bit of a dick for the way I complained about the music. Maybe they take apology donations or something.... "Extreme Paraphrasing" will be hosted by Bear Grylls in full survival gear. In the first episode, he just silently reads "Moby Dick" for 29 minutes, finishing...

    Feed Dump: The Missing Toilet Paper

    Holy balls, the music is gone. It´s really gone..... wait, does that mean they are actually paying attention to complaints ? What are you doing?! That´s no way to run an online show! I think my roommate back in uni used to own that movie.

    Feed Dump: Insects for Dinner

    Lovely episode, I especially enjoyed how someone FINALLY agrees to go on a journey with Graham. He had to ask for a long, long time. Just one minor quibble: Please dear God make the music stop. Please. God. Please. Dear God please. Please. PLEASE. God.

    How Can Gearbox be THAT Incompetent When It Comes to Programming?

    This is the funniest thing I read in month. So thank you, good Sir. Also, as someone teaching programming, let me congratulate you on your understanding of the importance of using variables instead of actual numbers in code. It´s utterly irrelevant to the Borderlands-thing, but still...

    Mechwarrior: Living Legends Pulls the Plug

    And just in case anyone wants to hear what the farewell post said before they had to change it: "To clarify how this situation came to be I?ll go into a bit of detail about what?s been happening behind the scenes to clear up any misconceptions. As Developers and Staff of Wandering Samurai...

    The world just got a little wierder.

    It happened in Bavaria. I´m reasonably sure that this was not the weirdest thing the police had to deal with that week, nor the only one involving animals used as projectile weaponry. Trust me, that´s where part of my family is from, I know. How do you NOT escape on a bulldozer ?

    Unskippable: Final Fantasy XIII-2

    Well, that was certainly.... a sequence of pictures played in rabid succession, creating the illusion of movement. But I did enjoy the part where purple space Jesus turned into a demon and then smacked the bird-murderer around. Man, Final Fantasy always has the best stories.
