As Peter and Lev were both out this week, Steve and I took over The Techland Show. (Muhahaha.)
Given free reign of the couch meant that the game of the week was also under our control. So what else could two non-gamers do when forced to pick up a controller, but seek out the nearest bit of comfy nostalgia? Plus let’s face it, Super …
You guys remember Ananth Panagariya from AppleGeeks, right? You know, from Thanksgiving. Anyway, Techland has an exclusive preview of Panagariya’s upcoming “MySpace Dark Horse Presents: Callie Eats Feathers.” I’m not even entirely sure how to explain it. Yuko Ota’s art is really, really creepy, but in a delightfully awesome way. …
Very few people have access to Steve Jobs the way someone like, say, Walt Mossberg does. At the iPad event on Wednesday, the Goatberg had a nice little chat with Steve Jobs about the Kindle, battery life and whether or not he would be writing his review on the iPad, which Jobs wholeheartedly encouraged.

Today in Techland: We nursed our iPad hangover, brought you silly celebrity comics you never needed to see, while Doug reviews Pandigital’s $100 Personal Photo Scanner. But enough about us.
We’ll always stay away from the light. Thanks to you, Zelda. …
No, I didn’t make the 2,100-mile trek to the Sundance Film Festival this year (I was too busy surveying the most underrated sci-fi epics of all-time). No slush and chaos for me.
But as I was perusing this year’s festival catalogue, looking for Techland-friendly titles, there were two that jumped out and grabbed my imagination. The …
Update: What did you think of the new episode of Caprica? Read our analysis, and weigh in on the debate, right here.
Given the love and passion out there among fans of Battlestar Galactica, I’ve been surprised by the muted response I’ve encountered when it’s come to BSG prequel Caprica. Maybe that’s because the original pilot …
Hoo boy, what a haul this week! I dropped more coin on Wednesday than I have in a long, long time. And for my considerable dollars I got some great shots for Panel of the Week. Kick-Ass finally lived up to his name. Marvel wrapped up the longest labor in history with Cap Reborn. Green Lantern did his best Zool impression. Parasite …
