    Lateral Thinking

    [spoiler:fcf07fbf1f]Some kid hit a baseball (or some crazy flying object) into his neighbors window. Knocking over the fishbowl containing a Fish Called Wanda.[/spoiler:fcf07fbf1f] I don't know the difference between thinking laterally, obliquely, vertically, or diagonally. I suppose the...

    Let the Winter Olympic Games Begin!

    One of the things I have noticed in my limited viewing of the games is that most of the U.S. woman's bobsledders are former collegiate athletes in other sports (e.g. softball, soccer, etc.). So they are basically pretty good athletes that couldn't excel to the top of whatever they were doing...

    Stonekeep for the Wii

    So I read up on Stonekeep a bit in wikipedia and mobygames, and I wanted to ask the fans of the game, why was it enjoyable? The story, the puzzles, the combat, the atmosphere, the (then) awesome graphics? It seems to be a 1st person RPG in that the game conveys the player from pre-rendered room...

    Bring on Iran

    No, the U.S. never manufactured or launched any practical scale, working prototypes or operational satellites for the Star Wars program. Some people think that it was total vaporware with pie-in-the-sky ambitions. Others think it was Ronald Reagan's genius to make the Soviets think the U.S...

    A blow dealt to the US(Obama's) health care idea.

    Most everyone in the U.S. wants some kind of health care reform when they hear that our health care system (mostly privatized) is the most expensive in the world. They just disagree in how it should be reformed. REFORMS: Left-side: Bleeding hearts want everyone covered. Some doctors want a...

    One Two Times Lucky Japanese Postapocalyptian Dies at 93

    Not to diminish the anguish that some people might feel over the matter, but the deaths (at least in the short term) weren't in the millions, and they were similar in magnitude to the casualties from the conventional and incendiary bombing campaigns on Tokyo. Wikipedia states:

    The Book of Eli in cinemas now

    Haven't seen the film, but from first glimpse I figured that it went like this: Denzel reads the Bible. DENZEL: I know kung-fu. Denzel saves humanity.

    Google attacked by Chinese government

    All Brazilians know how to party! ... It seems that no one mind blanket compliments. Jokes aside, I actually think that it can be helpful for a person doing any kind of international (or even interprovincial) travel, communications, or business to have stereotypes inform their actions and...

    Lilypads: Cities of the future?

    I stand corrected, it seems many large vessels are damaged or sunk by large waves. Thanks for the photos and links. Anyhow, I still think it ocean-floating cities remains within the realm of possibility. Maybe this company is vaporware. Maybe not for another 200 years of technology advances...

    Lilypads: Cities of the future?

    I'm neither an expert in shipbuilding nor in marine weather, but I'm not sure if what we perceive as large waves would capsize such a large object. As long as the structure is sound then the force of most waves will be averaged out, and the motion during a storm would most likely to be felt as a...

    "Age of Decadence" combat demo

    Info: Official game forums: Combat Demo Discussions section Combat Demo Survival Guide I just thought I would post that here since the announcement news post is soon to be buried in the archives. I've come to enjoy the combat demo, which is saying something because although the 3D graphics...

    Hey Listen!!! Zelda Wii Surprises and Rumors..

    That along with this one basically describe the essence of Zelda games, at least when Link is not in dungeons or the wilderness. Zelda: A Heart for the Hero As for me personally, I really liked the old 2D top down games (they are shallow but really fun), but I never got into the 3D ones in...

    The Prisoner (2009) on AMC

    I am not an expert on the Prisoner TV show, but I did see a few episodes on the old Sci-Fi channel. It was ahead of its time, and while being psychedelic at times, it was also comprehensible in the struggle of one man for freedom, hope, or even meaning. I haven't read up on the new one, but the...

    Ugh. (TES V)

    Bethesda's version of the Gamebryo engine was majorly upgraded between Morrowind and Oblivion. While there were some new effects, I don't think you could argue the same kind of upgrade occurred between Oblivion and Fallout 3. As for when they will create a new engine instead taking on new parts...

    Mad Max 4: Fury Road

    Any thoughts about the production now that it has switched to live action? Opinions on Tom Hardy being cast as the male lead? Has anyone seen him in any films other than Star Trek: Nemesis? The recent NMA update in the news section was good, but since this is Mad Max we're talking about and...
