I don’t know if anybody else played through Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Of those who did, I don’t know how many of you had trouble killing Darth Maul. Of course it wasn’t really Darth Maul, since Darth Maul got cut in half by Ewan McGregor in Episode 1. It was this droid called Proxy [...]
– io9 says that Variety says that the Clone Wars TV show might actually not suck. For your consideration, here’s a clip of Yoda breaking some robots:
Buying books online is easy, right? Just point and click and get and read. Right? Wrong.
I read pretty slowly. That’s partly because I am literally a slow reader: for some reason inputting text through my eyes is just not a rapid process. But it’s also because I’m Time’s book reviewer, so I have to burn through a couple of books a week as part of my job (which is basically [...]
One can only imagine the intense nerdiness of the video footage that is even now pouring into Joss Whedon’s inbox, now that he’s accepting applications for the Evil League of Evil. He’ll need welding goggles or a pinhole camera or something. You know, like when you’re observing an eclipse. Anyway.
Yesterday I got an advance copy of LucasArts’ Fracture in the mail, so I’ve been deforming terrain like a mother. But embargoes are very chic at the moment, and LucasArts has embargoed reviews of the game till October. So that’s all I can say. In other news, Bungie has released a teaser-thing for a new [...]
A Canadian comic book writer named Matt Shepherd put this little masterpiece together. The funnest way to experience it is to skip the text into, then scan down the photo captions until you figure out the bit. Happy dorking!
I’m fresh off the Webcast for the Googlephone. (There’s an on-demand version here for real die-hard fans of grainy video of pasty white dudes.) Cue Darth Vader sound sample: impressive.
Tasting notes are what they give you while you’re drinking fancy wines and acting like you can tell them apart. I actually do this quite a bit, because I enjoy it and because I like pretending I’m the fat guy in Sideways. I’m currently in possession of the two new iPods, the new Nano and [...]
Yes, Eoin Colfer is going to write a 6th Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy book. Adams’ widow hand-picked him, apparently. He’s best known as the author of the Artemis Fowl books, which I’ve never read, so I can’t do much to handicap the odds of his work being any odd. “For years I have been [...]
I’ve been playing this game pretty much non-stop for the past two weeks. Which pretty much tells you what you need to know, since I’m not a completist: I’ll bail on a game pronto if I’m bored. I don’t really disagree with Tycho’s mixed assessment, but the flaws he names just don’t bug me as [...]
