Exclusive: Sharlto Copley Talks District 10
Man alive last week was a busy one on the movie front.

Well I couldn’t let Sharlto, star of District 9, off the phone without touching base on the future of …
Recovering from w00tstock
I just got home from performing two w00tstock shows in Chicago and Minneapolis. w00tstock is a sort of nerd variety show that I produce with Paul and Storm, and Adam Savage.

E3 2010: What We’re Looking Forward To
One of our Techland colleagues who shall not be named asked, “Is it bad that I don’t know what E3 is?”
