They’re here.
Man, there’s a lot of good games coming out. I ditched Dead Space to play LittleBigPlanet, then went crawling back, and now I’m ditching it again for Fallout 3. (I hate leaving a game like Dead Space unfinished, when I’ve actually become invested in the narrative, but duty calls. Plus I was really low on [...]
I finally finished Anathem this past weekend, and I feel the need to bring closure to this colossal undertaking by blogging about it. This isn’t a review, just a kind of travelogue of my reading experience. Anathem is one of the best novels I’ve read this year, but it’s also incredibly challenging and not a [...]
I’m almost done with Dead Space, a game that continues to present me with visions of extreme and total wrongness. But I’m taking a break to actually fire up my PS3, which I don’t do too often, and mess around with LittleBigPlanet, a trailer for which is here: LittleBigPlanet is basically what would happen if [...]
Today brings the dawning of what future blog historians will call the Second, or Silver, Age of Nerd World. We have transitioned to a new platform, WordPress, albeit ungracefully and unwillingly (apparently all the servers fell over on Friday, so they crash-upgraded, or crash-cross-graded depending on how you feel about WordPress). Also, I just discovered [...]
Faithful TIME.com blog-readers may have noticed something odd today: the blogs kind of disappeared. Long story short, we’ve had major server problems, and as a result we’ve had to re-launch all of our blogs on WordPress. The upside is a faster, better, more stable platform. The downside is we’ll need a few days to get [...]
I’ve gone mad with power while feverishly selecting Time’s Best Inventions of 2008, so instead of writing anything I’m just going to post pretty moving pictures. 1. Your tax dollars went to create this very cool, ambitiously directed animation of what it will look like when the Mars Science Laboratory (Worst Rover Name Ever!) lands [...]
I was in the audience for tonight’s taping of Spike TV’s Scream Awards, “celebrating comics, fantasy, sci-fi and horror.” It’s a fun show, much more entertaining than the 6000 other award shows I’ve been to. Here are my awards for things that happened at the show itself.
I’m just going to keep saying it: Googlephone, Googlephone, Googlephone. Even though it’s not the Googlephone, it’s the T-Mobile G1. Whatever. Bring on your lawyers Sergei Brin!
Dead Space is out today. But because I’m a member of the East Coast media elite, I’ve actually had a copy for a couple of weeks, which I’ve been playing whenever I’m not out rigging elections and manipulating the stock markets and such. Dead Space is an extremely intense, beautifully produced zombie-survival-horror-first-person-shooter type game, as [...]
