I particularly liked the Starcraft II Coop mutation yesterday. The idea is that in coop you have two commanders with unique units and abilities completing missions together, and the weekly mutation takes a mission and adds special effects to make it more challenging. On April 1st, they...

Random nitpick: that chrome Stormtrooper leader is a woman.

Interesting image reversal for someone who previously showed up on a billboard saying "All men are rapists". I wonder if that's going to come up later in this arc.

"Best Episode Ever" seems broken in Chrome: I keep watching the ad, then it ends immediately afterward.

It's not just smartphones - another target for botnet creators is online appliances. It's becoming more common for household appliances to come with minor online conveniences - and the security surrounding them is rather lax (plus it's really difficult to determine whether an appliance is...

Well, there was that "Goldfish plays Pokemon" stream a while ago...

Charles Stross gave another interesting answer to the Fermi Paradox in Accelerando: moving is too inconvenient. In that book, the successors to humanity were converting matter in the Solar System into a giant, solar-powered Dyson Sphere/supercomputer, on which all of their intelligences were...

One possibility would be for the game creator to identify storefront-runners who they think would like their game, and send them review copies. It requires a bit of initiative on the part of the creators, but does mean that the storefront runners only have to consider games within their general...

As someone who has played Spore and is playing PA, I can say that PA is already a better game. The game has been mostly stable, even when I have thousands of fabricators spread out across multiple planets. Managing the defense of those planets while gearing up my econ is fun. Admittedly...

Goldeneye, probably.

A comment on this: most people would agree that pursuing your own fun when that results in misery for others is "evil". So, Bob is saying that what the people in the movie do is "evil" because they're conning investors out of their savings to continue with their extravagant lifestyle. Now...

If you were talking about him using two different kinds of bread (like rye and wheat) your sentence would make perfect grammatical sense. On topic: I wish I had that variety of Legos IRL. At least I have Lego Digital Designer...

Heh, same here.

For those interested in a GLaDOS announcer pack, note that if you vote up on this link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=174848559, Gordon Freeman will be joining her.

$90 is the price they set for alpha access on Kickstarter. If that's too much for you, then you can just wait - nobody's forcing you to pay that much. And, as others have said, it would be unfair to those who backed it at $90+ on Kickstarter to let those who joined in at a later point get the...
