Well I'm in IT and I build robots as a hobby, so I think I'm pretty well covered.

Whoa, wait... Peter Weller played a good guy? I thought he was only allowed to do that if he was wearing a mask (Robocop, Dark Knight)...

This video could easily be 8 hours long and it still wouldn't cover everything. Pretty much every second of the show is either doing a running joke, or setting up a running joke for future use.

I like the name Need for Speed Rivals, I guess it's not especially awesome, but I'm fairly certain that the previous 5 games have all been named Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, and it's been very confusing.

It looks really awesome, but I wonder why they went with the two pilots with mind melds thing... Making giant robots is doable now, making a force feedback method of control is doable now, but a brain sync control method is way beyond what we've got. I wonder if it will end up having a reason or purpose in the film.

They made this Batman's key strength his determination and will, but really, Batman should be about being intimidating, and always having the best plan.

I have been meaning to see it, and I felt bad that I haven't yet, until my friend told me that it's become one of those movies that you have to see just to say that you've seen it, but as far as actual enjoyment while watching it, it can be boring when it's at the slow parts (which he said is most of them).

I've got it ready to watch, and I loved Primer, but I have been busy lately and while I have time to watch a movie, I don't have time to also spend another 6 hours rewatching it and reading charts, graphs, and explanations on forums until I understand it. I'll watch it sometime though.

To be fair, they probably would have had to make a whole new suit to fit him, and it would have been used on screen for less than 10 seconds. Whereas they already had the Iron Patriot 3d model from other scenes they needed it to be CG. I can see why they did it.

I'm confused, is the subscription service like Pandora, or is it more Spotify, or is it like that Zune membership thing from long ago? I don't fully understand what "access all of Google's song's" entails.

My absolute favorite part was in the one of the final episodes, Exit Strategy:

Because when the Cylons attack, we need to have some tech around that isn't networked.

I do think that Iron Man is more innovative when it comes to inventing gadgets, but Batman is the superior strategist. I kind of feel like that didn't come across in Nolan's films. Batman should have contingencies for his contingencies, but Bale's Batman had more of an amazing willpower than he did planning power.

Also, what the hell is the barrel of the 3D printed gun made of? Not only is plastic not nearly tough enough for that, but the barrel needs to be smooth, and the 3D printing is very much not so, so even if they use a metal 3D printer, it's very bumpy. I don't think 3D printing a gun is actually viable.

True, but I do know what I'm talking about when it comes to 3D printers, and I can tell you one thing, that ABS plastic that 90% of existing 3D printers use, is very easy to break in two with your bare hands. I can't imagine that a 3D printed gun would be able to take any abuse, or even fire very many shots before it

So... why would they go to all that effort and cost when they can just go to a gun show and not have to pass a background check to get anything?

I don't know of any super hero that needs to go, but I think there is a component of nearly every super hero that needs to go. The trope of having a secret identity that closely interacts with the same people as when they are masked vigilantes, and are completely unaware. This especially applies to super heroes that

Well if they recast Keanu Reeves as Tony Stark they don't have to worry about recasting, seeing as how Keanu is immortal.

I don't see how the feedback part of it would be better then a human teacher helping the student, but if their machines make it so that it doesn't take a fucking week to get the test back, then sure, I'm all for it.

I'm not sure why you guys have these little stories about minor updates to early beta projects that do not apply at all to anyone who doesn't have one already. You're only audience is literally limited to other tech writers that also got Google Glass early.
