This is io9. At any given time space wins over banks. Unless perhaps it's coverage of a Batman film.

The same guys who go on about men pissing sitting down are the ones who go on about what fingernail length is properly masculine, other peoples hairline (gelling their own to hide theirs with enough product to reinforce bridges), pretend to be bros with slang off the radio while not actually drinking, partying, or…

Then we unleash a wave of snakes to deal with those mine loving mice that survive.

Yes I am being sarcastic. Well done. You certainly indicated in your post a solid grasp that this was the case.

OK so they're too light on their own to set off the mines once they home in on them. Why not go the extra mile in the name of efficiency and poor ethics, which are frequent bedfellows, and release a metric shit ton onto your minefield so that eagerly sniffing mounds of rodents cluster in the right spot, reach the…

No in a "Kurt Russell torching The Thing" way

Is it OK if I found this to sound nightmarishly horrific rather than glorious? My sleeping subconscious just got new ammo for a good few years.

Funny - I got halfway through the first book before it got big and before "young adult" was a thing, decided it was tripe, and had done with Harry Potter forever. I think it's great she doesn't read and is dismissive of the very genre she made a trillion dollars generating a big pile of bollocks within before trying…

I suffer it. I've also developed an inability to pee in public urinals over the last couple years. Nothing comes out. I have to leave it hours until I'm bursting then run outside round a corner alone somewhere. And I'm experiencing increasing problems with stress induced insomnia. I'm lucky to get 4 hours a night on a…

This article is biased toward a human centric model of organised consciousness.

Beyond a certain point of experience movies, TV and books cease to generate strong emotion. I suspect your problem is not that you fail to understand how people can be scared, let alone by some joke of a horror movie, but that you live a pampered, successful enough life that you haven't been exposed to fear. Did you…

I'm 29 and in the first year of a three year Forestry degree course. I never went to college before now. I was hoping I would get to experience some of the college lifestyle you expect at 18. Instead what I have found is that attending college as an older adult, particularly if you're studying a serious topic at a…

I'm not, friend. Studies like this are. The people committing the fouls studies like this study are. Take it up with them. I too have no problem with my own limited use of social media. We all here are awesome at social media apparently. And yet: "Previous studies have shown that the two primary reasons for using…

By an astounding coincidence, Monsanto finances an awful lot of scientific research and represents perhaps the largest graduate employer in biological research.

I'm not an expert on fallacies but there must be a name for the one you just used too; that technology is just a tool with limitations. It's the same one the gun lobby uses in America. Where people get shot all the time.

Normally, who cares to? I only ever even remember that it says a name when I see one of the tells and check to see if I'm right. Some of them are subtle and take years to notice.

The examples concern editors on sites across the Internet. I said that at the start.

Yet more news about how healthy Facebook is. I predict in 30 or 40 years, when the Internet has enough culture and study behind it to have matured everyones attitude and behaviour on it past what looks for all the world like the teenage experimentation stage we're still in right now, people will laugh endlessly at our…

Sometimes certain editors on multiple blog sites like Kotaku develop tells in their writing that give their authorship away before you ever saw the name. Nearly always through stale repetition and recycled behaviour. A distinctive abrasive form of humour. A consistent reference to and defense of recreational drug…

"Met any teenagers"? We were all teenagers at some point. I don't care if that was 80 years ago. What I can tell you is that I found "teen romance" and in fact any kind of "teen" material obnoxious, irritating even. OK so there were no Hunger games or Twilight in my time but nevertheless I read and watched adult…
