Though the 2010 pilot season won’t be here until August, the new year is upon us, and this means we must look to the future of our prime time entertainment. With the cancellation of Joss Whedon’s FOX series Dollhouse, we’re left (once again) to pick up the pieces of our sci-fi/fantasy TV fandom and look elsewhere.
Here’s what …
In a little over a week I’ll be in Las Vegas for CES. It’s my hope – along with every other tech journo – that the annual trade show will serve as center stage for some groundbreaking announcement by a major (or minor) CE company. It’s doubtful, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I don’t expect Palm to make as big a splash as they did …
FULL LIST: Disappointments of the Decade: The Master List
The decade is winding down rapidly and in an effort to milk what remains of it, the staff at Techland has compiled a list of the undesirables from the 2000s ranging frm Battlefield Earth to craptastic netbooks to overpriced comic books. We know, we know. You’re sick of the …
Violence, sex, race, religion.
Certainly controversial topics on their own, but perhaps even moreso when they’re depicted in a video game.
Techland’s seemingly never-ending list features (we totally admit it) continue as we look at the most controversial games of the 2000s.
Though video games have been around for quite a while, …
FULL LIST: The Top 10 Spaceships
It was less than a week ago that I finally saw “Avatar,” and what I enjoyed most about James Cameron’s epic was navigating through his fictional universe, learning about it all as I went along: New species, ecosystems, worlds and futuristic technologies used by the humans who are invading
With the news that Green Day would be getting their own Rock Band game a la The Beatles, that made us wonder… what other muscians should get the Rock Band or Guitar Hero treatment?
In addition to The Beatles: Rock Band, we’ve gotten Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: Metallica, Guitar Hero: Van Halen (out next week) as well as a …
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).
Especially since Lev, Peter and I have different tastes; we went back and forth on games we personally …
So this was way less pleasant than I expected. I mean, we all know top 10 lists are exercises in bogus click-whoring, so standard caveats apply, blah blah blah. But still: painful. (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 …
Lev and I picked our top 10 gadgets of the year for Time a couple weeks back and then we picked our top 10 gadgets of the year for Techland shortly thereafter. It turns out that both lists are identical. Weird, right? Or maybe you’ve already read about this…
I was told that I had to make a video for this list and, well, I had no …
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 …
Peter and I chose our top 10 games of the year. For Time. Then we chose them for Techland. Amazingly they turned out to be the exact same list both times. Here it is.
Or anyway here’s the first 40% of it. The whole list is over at Time.com, for some reason. I don’t want to talk about it.
One good thing about this year’s list: it …
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 …
