The Week in Review: Assassins, Robots and Duke Nukem

In this week's edition, an adorable robot gets stabby, and a Duke Nukem Forever gets delayed.

Short Film Shows the Dangers of Adorable Robots

A new short film by Oscar nominated filmmaker Ruairi Robinson gives a grim, but adorable, look at what robot ownership might be like. All Blinky wanted to do was be friends with Andy Neville, but his boredom, mixed with his anger and frustration over his parents arguing all the time, leaves the robot with a few "issues." I don't want to give away too much, but things do not end well. Hit the link for a video.

I'd highly recommend BlinkyTM (the robot video) but with a serious mature content warning.
It's not the images, but the implied actions that make it so effective at getting under your skin, well, mine at least

Implied, or at least stated actions that make it pretty gruesome. How did I miss that the first time?

Geohotz is now entering a court of public opinion he said they said match, and it's going to be going on for a while. First official show date, 21 April.

I don't really care about the Microsoft thing. They're way to far behind the times, unless they decide they really want Facebook.

Duke Nukem(Delayed)Forever - What can I say, other than the development time is almost half my age right now.

Don't watch that robot movie.
It ruined my day.
Soooooo depressing.

But it WAS good

I actually had nightmares over that Microsoft video.
