As much as I can’t stand Miller, I have to take issue with the author’s suggestion that the Reagan government would be too principled to align with an apocalyptic god-alien.

Bro, do you even fiber?

Different strokes for different folks. For me, the games that bring me the most satisfaction are the ones that—just like GTA V—simply give me a big model train set of a world to explore and interact with, and characters/events within it to experience. Film and TV can do audiovisual straight narrative better than games…

That looks delicious.

I didn't realize Yogi Berra was an RC enthusiast.

Has that scary wonkiness that the nightmares in Max Payne did well.

My first thought at seeing those sketches was that they were definitely falling prey to artist's longhanditis.

I don't care for this design much, but the thought of H.R. Giger + the world of Batman makes me imagine some very cool possibilities. Just the thought of a Giger-designed Batsuit would be striking, I have to imagine (and suitably homoerotic for mid-90s era Batman).

I remember, I saw my first Multipla (it was a first-generation) while in Italy in 2010. I will never forget my wha-WHA??? double-take reaction. It was like Fiat was playing a joke on my expectation for Euro-car weirdness. Love it.

Love the grid-like hubcaps and the little vector-style diagram on the dash monitor. Also that it had that one button to lock S-foils in attack position, or whatever it was supposed to do. You know the one.

How have I not seen this before? It's amazing.

An important sector of the American economy, a varied and diverse range of locales and climates, a couple world-class cities...There's nowhere in the U.S. I'd rather live in than California.

Because the game is a cultural flashback to the mid-eighties era, Gibson-inspired cyberpunk stories of VR-as-user-interface-metaphor. The idea back then was that in the future, we'd all interact with computers by strapping Oculus Rift-style things on our head and exploring the net as a virtual megapolis.

The world of mobile didn't exist in 2000, and with the success of the slower-paced, story-driven The Walking Dead game, I could see a Shenmue 3 that used the Dreamcast assets be quite successful in its own right on iOS/Android/Ouya. The games are well-regarded and fondly remembered today.

QR codes/NFC/etc. could be very useful in certain applications. For example, linking very specific URLs to certain locations in meatspace, like linking to a page with a name like "www.blahblahuniversity.com/guidedtour/site-4-North_Tower_Entrance" as a part of a university campus tour. That could lead to an…

The Fifth Element is still very artistic and deliberative in its design and execution, which is what makes it work. The world is hugely inviting, too.

Funny, just earlier today I was unable to squash my giggles thinking about that clip of him, oft repeated in the Red Letter Media videos, saying "Every frame of this film is so *dense*!"

It's already happened. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/obama_in_3d_photosynth_crowdsource_inauguration.php

"In all likelihood, the white labcoat set developing autonomous car technology will test the cars on real roads before they enter mass production and put people at risk for this type of thing."
