Maybe they should just pretend Shia is on set and not replace him at all...

I could write a book about this subject, but if you really want the free stuff, then by all means go for it. But on multiple occasions I've walked into a store at midnight without a preorder and still got the same stuff. On most releases I wait a couple weeks till it's on sale on amazon or somewhere else.

-Want to preorder any upcoming games?

I thought that too at first.

In other penguin news...

This seems so familiar, but I can't remember if I've actually seen it or not!

2% of Apple's cash is probably a LOT.

I'm trying to figure out how to refill those jugs myself. I can't get the lid off.

If you didn't like those two games why would you think you would like Rage?

Glad you enjoyed it! One day I just wondered what if the matrix machines just kept on doing their thing... for thousands of years. Surely they would out-grow earth! I think it was here on io9 that someone told me about Goliath. Good stuff.

This is completely off topic, but while were discussing short stories about movies, I've got to plug another one. "Goliath" by Neil Gaiman. It's about the machines from the Matrix encountering aliens. A little longer than this story, but well worth the read:

Yup. I would love to play through a European city.

This trailer probably didn't sound that great on paper, but I think it was executed very well. Nothing particularly ground breaking, just solid badassery.

CrossFit has always had reputation for making people puke, but it was happening to me at least once a week. I figured out I was drinking too much water. Now I make sure to get in a glass about an hour beforehand, but not anymore until the workout is over.

Everything's timed and scored. If you suck it up, you'll still be working out while everyone's staring at you. That's motivation for me, but to each his own I suppose.

That bug gave me nightmares.

Well, maybe not "work," but it sure sounds cool in my opinion.

I still think Burton's superman could have been insane enough to work :)

I've been doing Crossfit for about 9 months now. I can tell you personally, once you drink the kool-aid, you're not going to back out. Anyone can do it (and stick to it). Most importantly, the workouts are usually less than 20 minutes. You'll get better results than you'll ever have in your living room or even at…

Yup. At this point, we're more likely to not have kids.
