You rang?

So, how can a Yank watch this last episode when it airs (as opposed to 6 months after the fact)?

The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was Crysis 3.

My male power fantasy isn’t Batman.

Hell, at least it’ll give the sentient squirrel-raccoons that will take over the planet after we’re gone something entertaining to look at.

Back in the late 90s when I bought WipeOut XL for the PS1 and watched the intro cinema for the first time. I had never heard of Red Bull before then, since to my knowledge they didn’t have a very large presence in the US at the time.

I think this is a necessary requirement for the F-35. Having a multi-role strike jet with the capability to eventually deliver a weapon in the sub- to hundreds of kilotons range with the CEP of a smart bomb may be the only thing that deters Russia or North Korea from acting rashly if tensions increase and geopolitical…

Holy Toledo, what weapon got detonated here? And is that a full-size carrier next to that explosion, or a scaled-down test article? Because that is a damn big plume of water.

Good! More competition is always a good thing for gamers. It will be interesting to see how Sony responds to this. Hopefully with the ability to put in the PS3 discs one already owns and play them on the spot.

Code brown!

For a second I thought this picture was of a hand-illustrated 80s-era concept drawing. Then I realized, holy crap, this stuff actually got built! This is pretty much the coolest launch facility I have ever seen in my life.

I would buy any Nintendo system they tried to sell me if it came with Contra 5.
