@moonshadowkati: Actually... you could probably put small nanomaterials into the gum that would convert the mechanical action of chewing it into electrical energy.

UTEEEENI!

@pandafresh: I think the saddest part about Chex Quest (I actually did get it out of a box of cereal when I was a kid) was that it was actually kinda fun and well made, even if it was just a doom mod. I felt kinda sorry for the schlubs who put in that quality effort for a kiddie Chex game that no one would ever take…

Wait, so, Russia, the decrepit superpower that we've had nominal relations with for ages, and is now as heartily capitalist as any Western power, is a plausible candidate for a genocidal war with the US... but China, the rapidly growing and already massive communist superpower that everyone in the US military and…

... those aren't hot chicks, those are boob golems. Do not want. And I understand that its an emote, but how the hell can someone sweat drop through the power armor?

Actually, this is giving me Basket Case flashbacks.

@lalawguy: They were made for them by the decadent Roman nobility in England centuries ago, when they kept owls as hunting birds and pets. The helms have since been handed down from owl generation to owl generation, hidden in trees and kept polished using downy feathers and the dry powdered feces from owl pellets.

@Charlie Jane Anders: Well, the lead character does strap a minigun between the handlebars of a motorcycle, and then manage to drive it and fire at the same time. That's some pretty sci-fi technology right there.

@downdb: I would derez a bitch for digitally restored Tron on BluRay.

@cadrina: Aren't an unfortunate percentage of "real soldiers" already redneck kids, a la that guy from Three Kings who gets killed?

@eipxen: ""Over an evening Joerg, Richard and I went out to the university campus bars with a laptop and asked students to participate," Halsey said.

@Hello Mister Walrus: Not Iron Man. One of his enemies. Shows up in some of the old comic books, I think, doesn't show up in the movies, but then shows up in the video game adaptation. I forget the name, off-hand, but basically he's an evil Russian version of Iron Man that's powered by radiation- or, electricity, but…

@ceilingFANBOY: ... or maybe it has to do with the fact that on average females have less body mass than men, and thus tend to reach higher BACs from the same quantity of alcohol.

Looks a little arcade-y for my taste. The physics especially. If you're doing something like this, I think that Sony's entrant has the right idea- make it a gritty, meaty slug-fest. All that Tekken-style hovering doesn't seem like it'd really translate well into the Kinect motion control.

@Edix: Dammit. Beat me to the punch.

@Svirfneblin: You know what they say, "if you have to ask..."

@Pook365: Not that we'd necessarily be able to understand it and create some abstract version of it, but that we'd be able to physically model it (as in, you systematically map out every neuron and simulate their biological behavior), probably as a prelude to eventually understanding how that physical operation…

@gebinsk: Yes, but then again, we live in the United States of America, a country where a DA decided that it would be a great idea to try a 17 year old girl as an adult for the production and distribution of child pornography because she took naked cellphone pictures of herself and sent them to her boyfriend. That's…

One of these days, marketing guys are going to realize that the truly goofy promotional stuff only works when your audience is already interested in your product. Its for sequels and adaptions (and, possibly, re-releases), not the original. For that, you've just got to build your fanbase the old fashioned way.

@atepsflame: I have to agree with this. At the most, I think that this is something that goes in cycles, with a gradual alternation between it dominating the mainstream (we're running out of toys to sell- hey wait, Star Wars sells toys, and Hulk Hogan sells toys- lets make a movie where Hulk Hogan is a space marine!)…
