Get Your Crowbars (and Towels) Ready!

September 21, 2006 by Bartoneus

One of the most intriguing scientific articles I’ve read in a while, and it brings up a lot of concerns.  Thanks for the link go to Broken Toys, where he very cleverly opts himself out of the ‘Gordon Freeman’ role when the very fabric of our world is folded open for malicious aliens to send […]

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 […]

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. But people in the comments are claiming that pre-festival, they played the Wii (it’s awesome) and the US price is going to […]

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 […]

Neon Genesis Evangelion OVA?

September 9, 2006 by Dave

According to ICV2, Gainax is in the works to produce four movies to completely retell the Evangelion story, but in a much simpler way. The move is designed to make the acclaimed series more “accessible” to new viewers (and presumably, viewers who were totally bewildered the first time around.) From the Article: “This “remake” will […]

Baltimore Comic-Con This Weekend

September 8, 2006 by Dave

Just so that you are aware, if you are within five states of Maryland and have ever looked at a comic, you are required BY LAW to attend the Baltimore Comic-con this weekend. The punishment for disobeying the law is creative Panda attack.

Finally Some Intelligence

August 25, 2006 by Bartoneus

After yesterday’s post which was later announced to be full of fraudulent material, I felt it necessary to bring everyone up to speed on the ESRB discussions. From the comments on my last post, The Game helpfully pointed out the good Dr. Thompson’s rebuttal which you can see here. It is a very well spoken/written […]

Some Interesting News

August 24, 2006 by Bartoneus

In the last couple weeks some research was released that gave many classic games very violent ratings, in an attempt to prove to a court that the ESRB has not been doing their job.  Since then a lot has been written about it, possibly one of the articles can be found on about.com, which points […]

With Naked Eyes

August 16, 2006 by Bartoneus

This week in the news it was released that several photos published by Reuters from a Lebanese photographer were pulled from circulation because they discovered the photos had been editted to depict darker, more dreary images of the destruction happening there and to make certain combat images appear more dramatic. You can find the specifics […]
