Watch the full list: The Underrated Sci-Fi Masterpieces
After seeing 300 or so films a year, I’ve learned quite a few things about the moviegoing experience: Popcorn on an empty stomach is bad news, the majority of movies released each year are formulaic drivel – a waste of time even when seen for free – and the only thing sadder …
The greatest characters of the 2000’s from movies, TV, books, video games and comics. Basically anything that had fictional people in it was fair game. Or fictional cats. Or artificial intelligences.
[By the way I want to a) acknowledge that io9 already did this, and b) assert that we’d scheduled this before we knew they were doing it …
FULL LIST: Top 10 superhero deaths of the decade.
The last decade was either a good stretch or a bad one for super heroes. It was bad because many of them died but it was good because at some point most of them came back to life. It’s impossible to write a list about super hero death without including super hero resurrection. …
FULL LIST: Techland’s top video games of the 2000s.
It’s not easy to go back through 10 years of gaming and choose just 10 titles to represent the best video games of the decade. (See the other “best of the decade” lists here).

(And this is probably the tenth top-10 list I’ve written this month. Some of these books I’ve already summarized three or four times in the past two weeks. My …
FULL LIST: Techland’s 10 Best Comics of the Decade
Top 10 Comics of the Decade. A difficult task, the top ten list, as some of my fellow Techlanders (Techlandites? Techlandians?) have already remarked. I’m a nerd, of course, so at first I tried to find some quantifiable metrics to determine The Ten. But when sales numbers and movie …
FULL LIST: Techland’s 10 Best Sci-Fi Movies of the Decade
Any top ten list is, by its nature, biased. It is subjective, rash and almost always deliberately provocative. It’s one guy’s attempt to make a statement.
So when it came to be my turn in Techland’s best-of-the-decade marathon, I was less than surprised when some of my …
It’s hard to quantify an entire decade’s worth of innovation into a list of so few gadgets. We’ve seen a multitude of “world’s firsts” but few have had a lasting impact felt beyond the initial buzz that surrounds any new gadget launch. We looked for gadgets that either sparked a revolution or did something innovative enough …
