Anyone who posts the Venus of Willendorf on a video game blog is doubly okay in my book.

Yes, it's entirely possible those things will happen: that he will fight for something else or become a true hero in some other form. I also concur that given the way the series is constructed in terms of gameplay it would be difficult to change Kratos without changing the gameplay. That's sort of what I was talking…

I thought it was a very nicely done video, but it also frustrated me a little.

The most interesting pirate cove is one where the pirates are also ninjas.

I couldn't imagine Nintendo ever (EVER) supporting it, but I have to say it would be pretty rad to offer players the option of swapping Zelda and Link's roles in a game. Let the Heroine of Hyrule save Prince Link once in a while. I don't mean to be heteronormative about it, either, but a straight-swap appeals to me in…

If you are at all interested in the midwinter festival "phenomenon," here's a great, short take on some of its history and culture from the Gene Expression blog: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2011/12/the-reasons-for-the-seasons/#.UNi33W-u3ng

Ow, my feels.

Why are we not talking about Unamused Donkey Kong? And why is he wearing Diddy Kong's hat? Is it a Cubone / Marowak thing?

Information science, baby!

In our meager defense, cyanobacteria is a whole phylum, not a single species.

Hell yeah!

My sympathies for poor Alfie White. I felt the same way about my first survivor, a very pleasant young male taxi driver. I was feeling very confident (but not too confident!) and got all the way into Buckingham Palace with him before he was killed (not by the helmeted officer I was facing, but by the second zombie I…

Poopin'!
