My favourite mysterious location of historic significance on the planet is Göbekli Tepe in Turkey. Really fascinating stuff.

Obligatory "read Diaspora and Permutation City by Greg Egan" post.

Another save the world plot. *yawn*

Compared to insultingly stupid 2013 movies like the latest Star Trek, Dredd was a highly intelligent masterpiece!

This is what I get for eating a Jaffa Cake and typing at the same time.

I read the headline and new China was involved in the story in some way.

Oh now you've gone and done it. I see CKII is indeed available for Mac on Steam...am I gonna lose my life to this game?

I really want to get into these kinds of games, but they're rare on PS3. I want to try Civ V but the reviews for Mac are horrendous. I tossed any device Windows related away ages ago and haven't looked back....

The Matrix trilogy has informed Hollywood trends and to this day is still influencing them. I think what's underrated about the sequels is the fact that they utilised 'virtual cinematography' which Peter Jackson evolved with the LotR trilogy.

Very underrated film. It's rare to get a big budget sci-fi that is as thoughtful these days sadly.

Ah, gotcha. No worries. Still hard to tell tone online sometimes. I remember reading a comment someone made about how a new font for sarcasm should be created. Seems a really good idea!

Hmm, don't know if you got the tone of my comment, but I suggested the image was so awesome and reminiscent of Japan's red sun it should be their new flag, then reconsidered that option because having a Thundercat sword on a flag is pretty aggressive, and how shall I put it, counter-productive.

It's a great feeling not just because you get to cause mayhem listening to your favourite songs, but it's good to know they're getting exposure to gamers who might not have otherwise found them.

The radio soundtrack to Sleeping Dogs is still better than GTA. It's like they looked over my last.fm and plucked songs from my library.

Thundercat's the best one for me. Should be Japan's new flag.

Interesting stuff!

Obsessive Compulsive Update Disorder. Seriously.

See my post above also using PS3 & linux as an example. It just proves my point that Microsoft could change their policies at a later date...

For people adamant Microsoft wouldn't change policies after selling the console, surely there's already precedent for that kind of behaviour? Look at how PS3 removed Linux support with an update later down the line.

For the ardent fans pleased with every reversal, I ask you the following question: What makes you think Microsoft won't change their minds and revert their policies after you've bought their console?
