Launch day problems for Phantasy Star Universe
As with any online game, it seems Phantasy Star Universe is having some launch day problems. The Xbox 360 version was delayed by one day, which affected me directly, I won’t be getting my copy of Phantasy Star Universe until later today. There have also been reports of PC boxes shipping without discs inside, so [...]
Very Short Stories
Wired Magazine has an interesting piece up, where they have great authors (including Neil Gaiman, Joss Whedon, Alan Moore, Robert Jordan, and way too many others who are awesome as well) tell 6 word short stories. I have to tip my hat to them, half of these are better than some of the horrible novels [...]
Stoned up the ass
I will never forget seeing this Rally on television. Marcus Gronholm has to be one of the most entertaining Rally drivers of all time, I always love his quick post-race interviews. Here he describes how a rock came through the bottom of the car (which is made of kevlar), through the seat and into his [...]

Chimp plays Pacman
Everyone loves monkeys (well, except for Jason) and how could you not be impressed by a video game playing chimp? And the best thing is this chimp isn’t too bad either.
Halo movie is cancelled
Fox and Universal have pulled the plug on the Halo movie! It looks like their pulling out had to do with the film maybe being too expensive and they’re not liking having to hand over all that money to a first time feature film director. While your first reaction my be disappointment, this is actually [...]
Cardinals win NLCS
In a fantastic end to a well played NLCS (aren’t they always) the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the New York Mets by a score of 3-1. Jeff Suppan pitched yet another fantastic game and won the NLCS MVP, Yadier Molina shocked me with the game winning home run while Pujols still didn’t do much. I’m [...]
