    311: A Mod-el for Success

    First thing which came up in my mind was Kerbal Space Program. From what I gathered not a few of the current developers started out as modders to the game and are now part of the team.

    What is your favorite weapon in any video game ever? (or couple of favorite weapons)

    Agree. It was a humble story, which I like. I thought Ishi was an interesting character concept in his relation to Grayson. A strong normal (non sexualized) female character. I can certainly see the evil badguy-vengeance plot might seem a bit simple and formulaic to some but I thought it nicely...

    The Big Picture: You Are Wrong About Sucker Punch, Part Two

    Maybe "You guys should be ashamed that you like all this" is a bit too strong wording of the makers intent and more moviebob's intent to stir things up a bit; well in line with his choice in titles. Though after seeing this second part, I have to admit i now do believe this probably was the...

    The Big Picture: You Are Wrong About Sucker Punch, Part One

    I doubt whether what you say was really the intention of the movie. The first criticism, which other can put into words so much better than me: But it also ignores the fact the action sequences are, at least to an extent, presented as a journey of self discovery; remember that nice fatherly...

    911 = police?

    That's correct and so does the EU. I'm surprised people from the EU don't know this. Wikipedia: 112 (pronounced one-one-two) is the principal emergency telephone in the European Union (EU), its candidates for accession, members of the EEA agreement, as well as several other countries in the...

    Panda Poop May Solve World Energy Crisis

    I think it's pretty cool of the universe that our conservation of this animal might actually end up being an essential decision to have enough liquid fuel in the future. At least sometimes, being selfless pays itself of in mysterious ways. Kudos Universe.

    Strange things you can do (no one believes)

    This is pretty funny, i have the same thing. Surprisingly often when i watch a clock it's either 12:00, 17:00 etcetra, or 09:09, 13:13 etcetra. I'm guessing it's an accurate biological clock or observation bias on my part.

    This WoW Infographic Presents Quite a Few Really Big Numbers

    800 million dollar in subscription fees for America and Europe. From the other figures you can deduce that this is probably the yearly amount instead of perhaps the monthly, daily or 'lifetime up until now' subscription fees. the infographic also depicts first 11-12 computers and then...

    Daily Drop: Ted the Cat

    If my arms would bend like that i don't think they would be flexing back in position afterwards. If you look at a cat skeleton they seem to have their wrist pretty high up their 'forearms' maybe this allows it to bend so much.

    Poll: What is the answer to 48/2(9+3)?

    Maybe it would be better if this was somehow mentioned when people first learn these math rules just to create some patience and undertanding for these kind of situations. But i do understand why especially mathematicians might be a little bit more touchy on this stuff. So just to help...
