Richard K. Morgan's Altered Carbon series had a depraved take on virtual punishment.

I have to imagine even neckbearded fanboys wouldn't celebrate if the people on the plane lost their lives.

3DS games always look far worse in screenshots.

For me? I was.... like 8 when the Berlin Wall fell. My formative years were right in between that and 9-11. So yeah I guess I'm in that unless. The Cold War ended eventually. I don't think this one will ever really end.

That is interesting.

Fucking tracer.

"We've replaced the Ferguson police department's pepper spray with Folgers Crystals. Let's watch..."

They really need to fix their digital licensing and account system before they expect me to actually buy digital from them. Having had my 3DS stolen once, I don't want to deal with their asinine digital system again.

SO THERE -IS- AN OFFLINE MODE! :O

As much as I enjoyed GotG, I have to put my vote to Winter Soldier as the best movie this summer. Watching it again on digital streaming just reminded me of how much I loved the beats in the movie. I felt that same excitement again from the comfort of my couch. I can only imagine where Cap 3 takes us next. But…

Sometimes you've got to raise a glass to Sun-Earther Iain El-Bonko Banks of North Queensferry.

Banks-influenced?

If your local art house (or Drafthouse!) ever shows it, go see Forbidden Planet on a big screen.

Gravity, hands down. 3D has often been abused in the name of boosting ticket sales, but this is one of the rare cases where it's not only worth it, but an integral part if the experience.

As a physicist/engineer who designs "bulk" (as opposed to fiber) lasers that are only 20" x 8", I'm not sure where to start to explain how cool this is.

Did he factor out the act of reading itself on these political attitudes?

I have no interest in seeing this movie. It looks like melodramatic nonsense.

I've always liked KSR's Mars Trilogy more than Science in the Capital or 2312, terraforming, genetic engineering, space elevators and just about everyone, except Coyote, was a scientist.

Root and Shaw from Person of Interest. They are so good together! Plus, their friendship tingles my pants area.

I re-read AWiT recently. I know I read it when I was young, but that was decades ago. This time around, I found the religious sentiment off-putting.
