This is VERY clever and fun to watch!

Not to long ago, a Kid got charged for beating his mother when she wanted him to get off the 360. He went into a wild rage. Also, not to long ago, a Kid was 'grounded' from his ps3 when his grades started dropping, so he hired a hitman to wack his mother. But the Nintendo Wii has got them beat... In the above cases, the children were the ones who did/attempted bodily harm. In this case? Nintendo Wii Is the killer! http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/11/25/after-winning-wii-boy-dies-at-hockey-game/?ncid=NWS00010000000001 I have to say, from my perspective, When it comes to pure world domination power. Its Nintendo all the way. I mean, What ot…

Okay I just got my hands on an old copy of the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (circa 2003?). I don't play many games on the PC. Is this worth downloading and playing, or is it too outdated? Also there is no info on system requirements, anything special?

So Jelly saw that the cool people all seemed to be members of the Seanchan org. Jelly wanted to be cool. Jelly diagrammed it all out and connected this org with a great level of coolness. Jelly also saw that the Org Leader is going slowly insane and saw opportunity. Welcome Jelly to the Seanchan Org. Like other orgs, we have a new mentor program.... well.... sort of. Here is how it works. Choose someone that is an active member of the org. Stalk them around the boards. Ok it is more of a stalker program than a mentor program.

If you want to see something hilarious check out JibJab's website. It is an expansion on the original Elf Yourself concept.

Producer Thomas Schuehly ("Alexander") has acquired the remake rights to Fritz Lang's 1927 silent sci-fi classic "Metropolis" reports Variety. Considered one of the most expensive films of its time, the movie is set in 2026 in a massive city-state characterized by its monumental skyscrapers and art-deco architecture. The film depicts the class struggle between the wealthy society of planners and thinkers, who live in luxury high above the Earth, and the workers, who live underground, toiling to sustain the lives of the privileged. Schuehly and Mario Kassar are currently in negotiations with a number of top directors to helm the pic, with a final decision ex…

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/87134.html Tis all I have to say about ps3 vs 360. :P As for the Wii, its just a novelty item! Not something 'real gamers' play... for long. ;)

I just got this for the PS3, I've played the PC Demo (which looks like crap, and is about as sluggish as running in mud... It looks beutiful, and plays damned good (so far) on the ps3. I can use my pc/keyboard (meaning I don't suck! actually, Its the opposite of suck. :P) Online is fast paced, faster then Warhawk or Resistance, Fall of Man. But not 'quite' as fast as the pc version (At least, thats what everyone says!) Now, I just have to get my hands on the PC version to make mods to use on the ps3. ;) (I found out a few days ago, that the PC version comes with the 'UT3 Editor' and can 'export' to the ps3. PS3 is just UT3 with out the editor. (unfortunatel…

Ever been to a movie where it ends and you are like "WTF was that?" and about an hour later it all comes clear? This was what this movie is like. If you are a fan of the Coen Brothers (Big Lebowski, Fargo, Raising Arizona) then this movie is a must see.... however be warned this is more like Fargo than BL. It is a also pretty violent so if you are not a fan of this in your movies then I would suggest staying away (go see Enchanted). If you do decide to check this one out, go in leaving preconceptions on how a linear movie should progress. Don't make a decision about the movie right away but discuss it with others that have seen it so you can appreciate what this film…

The fall Xbox 360 dashboard update is live right now. Have you downloaded it yet? Here's what you can expect when you get home from work: DivX / XviD support: This is a big one, and about time that these video formats get a little 360 love. Friend List changes: Personally, I hate this one. I don't want YOU to be able to see MY friends... but a lot of people disagree and like it. It's opt-out-able. I will be opting out. I'm a very private person. Parental Time: This timer allows you to set weekly, daily or monthly limits on Xbox time, and it's easy enough for a parent to use. Xbox News Live: And in your face. Overall, though, other than the DIVX…

Well Brandon Sanderson has been chosen to complete A Memory of Light. I know we don't normally talk about the books here, but what are your opinions of this selection?

Yay! Sorry for all you closet fans out there but this show was bad.

First off... who is going to watch this on Sci Fi (starts this Sunday night)?

... its been killing me! I'm nearly certain its from a film, but its possibly from TV... And I can only paraphrase it... "Yet again you have derailed this conversation with another absurd comment." It may also be something Ricky Gervais said to Karl Pilkington.

Everyone is welcome to play! If you don't understand the rules... well... ask a question and try and narrow down until you guess the right person. If I am unsure what your questions means... I will ask for clarification. If I like I understand, I will answer the best way I know how.

Desperate times, they say, call for desperate measures. Such is the case with television during the ever-expanding writers' strike. So, CBS is thinking outside the box and planning on recutting Showtime's Dexter and airing it on the network. They think that it goes along with some of their other 'crime-themed' programming, like CSI. Um, CBS, we don't know if you've ever actually seen Dexter, but it is a whole hell of a lot more dark and violent than any show you have ever come up with...except AfterM*A*S*H...that was brutal. Still, it will be fun to see just how much 'cutting' will have to be done so that you can get the censors to approve. In the meantime, the …

Hey all you Brits out there! I loved Robin Hood on the BBC last year, but I haven't seen any new episodes. Did they dump it? I would hate for it to not come back cause I found it very entertaining and Jonas Armstrong was very nice eye candy! I would appreciate any info you could share!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464141/ I just got back from a screening of this movie. I don't want to say a lot abot it because the nature of the movie is sort of a discovery thriller. There were some things that I expected to happen, but one Huge thing I did not and it cemented the emotional rollercoaster I felt through a good chunk of the movie. There was one "holy crap" moment where nearly the whole theatre jumped and then we all laughed at one another for doing so. Even my friend who Never gets jumpy during horror/thriller movies. The movie is not nearly as gorey or brutal as Pan's Labyrinth, but it still did a fantastic job of creating a shock value.…

quite possibly the most unattractive actress on TV. Thanks.

I'm just so happy I had to share this with all of you! The University of Hawai`i Rainbow Warriors (don't care what they're called they will always be the Rainbows to me) just won their final game of the regular season to finish a perfect 12-0! The only undefeated team in the country! Hopefully they have a BCS game and an invitation to the Heisman award ceremony for Colt Brennan in their future. GO BOWS!!

So I got a Wii the other day.... and wow... I can't stop playing..... well I stopped long enough to make this post but.... wow. Even though the Wii sports have terrible graphics they're still fun, and Mario Party 8 is addictive. Beware all ubber competitive people I think it cheats.... but it's still fun!

i was at one of the Cloverfield screenings in NYC, and while the EFX and music weren't finished, i don't think the movie was that far off from being complete. anyway, i am a big Lost fan so JJ Abrams' involvement, coupled with the amazing viral marketing campaign they have used to promote the film, had me really fired up about seeing the film. just wanted to preface with that before sharing my thoughts, which i will keep as spoiler free as possible: regarding the monster: i don't know how much i want to give away b/c i think people are having a really good time hypothesizing about what the monster is, so let me just say that it's humongous, it's ugly, and you do se…

So I was playing a little Mass Effect just now, and the Xbox started to get all wonky. At first the controller just kept disconnecting when lots of enemies appeared even though there was lots of power on it. Then the Xbox started making funky noices and suddenly the screen said "Disc is undreadable". So I took out the disc and the freaking disc was all scraped up so now the game isn't working anymore. I'm gonna find Bill Gates and give him some serious twappage.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/138842.html I haven't watched it yet... dont have 'time' atm, but It should be fun... Now if only I could get my hands on that demo! :P

WARNING... for the very very very few of you out there who have NOT seen Starwars but DO plan on watching them someday.. move on to another topic! To quote our favorite bartender in Mos Eisley, "you're kind aren't served here!" In my quest to watch, or rewatch, all of my Sci-Fi series/movies, I have recently begun starwars and just finished Episode III. Watching these has reminded me of some questions I had that I never had answered, so I am hoping some of you here who are as nerdy, or in some cases far nerdier than I am can help me! So please, if you know the answers, post them! 1. R2D2... why does he not use his jetpack booster things in IV-VI? Is it because h…
