Well Kick My Ass: The 5 Best Moments of Kick-Ass
3. Nicolas Cage, Burning
I’ve seen the movie three times, and cried a bit each time. The scene in which Kick-Ass and Big Daddy are beaten and set ablaze is horrifying. And the way it plays out – with the fire being struck halfway through Hit Girl’s counter-assault – makes it even more shocking. Hit Girl seems to be taking …

Dispatches From a Public Librarian: Technology Gaps and Library Fights
Continuing with Techland’s mini-celebration of Library Week, I chatted with Scott Douglas, author of hilarious McSweeny’s column Dispatches from a Public Librarian, which later became a book published in 2008 ($16.50, Amazon). Who better to talk to about the plight of the everyday librarian, who is – sometimes comically – a bridge …

Because gaming moves at the speed of light, it’s easy to gloss over or outright miss the quirky, bizarre or just plain interesting elements that go into the games we obsess over. Continue? will be where we dig back into the used bins and back-catalogue stacks to talk about the trends, personalities and uniqueness that powers the video …
