OSU/GAMA/Wargamer Study Results

September 22, 2006 by Dave

Remember that survey I asked you all to take? They have the first “sortie” of data back. They haven’t gone indepth with the analysis yet (and they admitted it was flawed in a few ways) but what we do have back are some not so surprising results- perhaps surprising in how overwhelming they are. 93% […]

The Future is Animated

September 22, 2006 by Dave

On the heels of the announcement that Futurama is coming back, there’s some more science fiction animation news. Andre 3000, whom you may know as half of Outkast, is getting his own show on cartoon network called “Class of 3000” that focuses on a class of school kids in the 2990’s, presumbly with Andrew voicing […]

Bush Administration: Other Governments Should Not Have Zombies

September 16, 2006 by Dave

According to this [FAKE- see below] BBC article, there is a kind of Mosquito whose bite is 100% fatal. After the victim dies, a parasite restarts the victim’s heart for up to two hours, where the victim is extremely violent. What’s even better has been the response: don’t these sound like the sort of thing […]

From A&B to Remotes & Nunchuks

September 15, 2006 by Dave

This week for me has been all about the Wii. I was interested to know what the price was, but I already knew I was going to buy it. Mainly I wanted to know how long it would be before it was mine.

Wii Want Journalism!

September 13, 2006 by Dave

Supposedly any minute now, Nintendo is supposed to announce the Japanese price and release date for the Wii (from which we can extrapolate the US facts), but nothing seems to be happening yet.

Spike's Scream Awards

September 12, 2006 by Dave

I have mixed feelings about Spike as a network. Yes, there are multiple networks for women, and none other than Spike specifically “for men” except, you know, ESPN, Fox News, Cinemax, and, well, most of tv. On the flip side, Spike has Star Trek and Blade. Hmmm. All that aside, Spike has created their own […]
