X-Men 3 Trailer

January 31, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

I’m sure just about everyone has seen it, but in case you haven’t, you can find it here. It looks pretty interesting, actually. I was surprised that they seemed to get everyone back for their principle characters.

Is Your IP Bad Enough to Rescue the President?

January 25, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

Here’s one for the kiddies… how awesome is YOUR IP address ? The site rates your IP number in various ways (including a poker hand!) and gives you a score at the end based on it. Sadly, my IP is only worth 23 points. Here’s my poker hand: Ace of ? Diamonds Ace of ? […]

Windows Vista Overcooked

November 28, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

I just read an interesting article about Windows Vista and why it’s ultimately doomed to failure. For those who don’t know, Windows Vista is Microsoft’s new GUI subsystem in Longhorn. Wheras most GUI systems in operation today utilize old 2D methods for composition and display, Vista will instead use the 3D hardware to shove things […]

Mindstorms Requiem

November 28, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

I discovered an interesting analysis of why Lego was pulling back on its Mindstorms line. For those who don’t know, the Mindstorms line is a neat set of tools designed with the idea to create real working programmable robotics systems using Legos. The sets have proven wildly popular, but in recent years Lego has pulled […]

For those of you who haven’t yet seen it, here it is: The music video to the third Reanimator movie, starring Jeffery Combs (who also voices the Question on JLU). Move Your Dead […]

Death of SWG

November 16, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

I’ve tried many MMORPGs in my time (ranging from the original Everquest to World of Warcraft) and while most have been amusing for a few hours, none had been able to keep my interest for very long. The game that kept my interest for the longest was Star War Galaxies. The reason? Because they did […]

No Gaming. Skip This Article

November 11, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

This article has no flowery language, no bile to spew, not even the smallest attempt to reconcile it with gaming. But I think it should be publicized anyway, in whatever way possible, simply for the sheer magnitude of vileness. If anyone ever needed any evidence pointing to the inherent evil present in all humanity, that […]

More Sony Shennanigans

November 10, 2005 by DarthCthulhu

Oh, the fun just doesn’t stop with the Sony Corporation these days! An update on the Sony rootkit copy protection, regarding the offical uninstall proceedure as provided by Sony as told by the guy who was the originial discoverer of this wonderful corporate ‘fuck you!’: “Without exaggeration I can say that I’ve analyzed virulent forms […]
