Oh, are these the Guild02 games?

"I know that Nintendo has something up their sleeve to help with sales"

So after being on the market barely a year and a half, we can expect to see The Old Republic shut down? Wow.

This has been happening for at least the past year. I've been reporting it, but no one's believed me.

I did not notice until I read this comment.

Sure, but I think that's a somewhat broader definition of science than is understood to be normally used by io9. In the past this site has mostly stuck to technology and the natural sciences (to the extent they are related to science fiction.) Broadening the criteria into the social sciences raises the question of:…

How is knowing more precisely the effects of not having an abortion a "scientific breakthrough?"

Yeah, I get it. My point was that, for most people, it's not actually cyclical, it's just the slow process of adding more and more people to the "permanently discouraged" category of non-employed. This is the category that grows dramatically during each recession and then never really goes away even as the economy…

Stages 5, 6 and 7 are a pleasant fiction. It's true that a talented few will survive and prosper in the transition. But for most people, losing your robot-job means you are now qualified to work at Wal-Mart.

Yeah, seriously. It's kind of incredible this article even got published.

I'm pretty sure you can find a scientist who will swear that "Eating XXX will KILL you!" for just about any food these days. Is anything safe?

Maybe I'm nuts, but I think Hawkeye looks fine in most of those poses.

Windows 98? I believe you mean Windows 3.1.

Is "whiteface" a word now?

I don't know anything about Ant-Man, but I love Edgar Wright so: yes! I am cautiously excited.

Everyone needs an editor. Moffat's Moffat-era episodes suck for the same reason that RTD's RTD-era episodes suck: no one, probably ever, is capable of honestly assessing their own work.

Is Zombie Robert Holmes an option for the next showrunner? I'm increasingly finding that the most of the Who episodes worth re-watching are from the 70s.

It's a stupid phrase. All consoles collect dust, regardless of use. When you play a game on a particular console, you don't swing the console to and fro or kick it around like a ball. It sits right where it always was, under/over/behind your tv, collecting dust. I use my PS3 far more than my Xbox 360 or Wii, but…
