I would love to see a real live mammoth. But cloning one would involve putting an elephant, a highly intelligent social animal, through a nearly two year pregnancy with high risk to her and a great likelihood of failure. I just can’t support that.

Except nature doesnt usually provide mile long, concrete lined, self supporting tunnels directly into the reservoir of gas.

We’re bringing back our regular “Video Game Industry Layoff Stories” feature, where we round up layoff stories from the volatile game industry. If you’re a game dev who wants to share a story—totally anonymously—e-mail me.

Even upping the US total emissions by .002% IS a disaster. Again, just because shit sucks doesn’t make this not suck. It is an ecological disaster.

There was actually ALOT of controversy surrounding the history of Ocean Floor Maps. The first ever complete maps were made by Dr Mary Tharp to much argument and conflict from the scientific community, one dude even took an eraser and rubbed out weeks of her mapping work. There was conflict firstly because she was a…

As with LotR, the extended Hobbit is so far a lot better than the theatrical version. Haven’t seen the final movie yet, but considering the extended version is rated R, I’m excited (although the dumb romance crap is still there, as much as I think Evangeline Lily makes a great elf).

Could you PLEASE not put specific plot-points and spoilers in the blatant, giant, bold-faced headlines of articles?

I do hope they’re successful. Our poor twin is sadly neglected probewise of late.

The film practically told audiences, “This…

I actually enjoyed the Sega CD Jurassic Park game. They weren’t ALL horrible!

Hey, I’m proudly vegan pal—watch it. What’s wrong with a little compassion for animal suffering? If you can’t bring yourself to care, I think that says a whole lot about you as a person. My sympathies...

I like the show as well (by the way, linking to a single negative review on your own site isn’t exactly conclusive proof that the show is objectively “terrible”). Unfortunately, the Muppets are one of those things that fans feel very proprietary about, and so no one’s going to be very happy with any new version. Even…

What I always look forward to on Christmas Eve: a grade on my post to a popular website from a stranger.

Thank you for the academic feedback. However, there's a big distinction between electric "Christmas lights" and "the tradition of lights and Christmas." Yes, the tradition is older than America, but the invention of the technology that this post is about happened in the United States. (New Jersey, to be specific.)…
