BioWare Hopes Old Republic Lasts Decades. Good Luck With That.
I’m going to let you in on a secret. Something inside of me tells me that SWTOR isn’t going to be good. I don’t know why, I just have the suspicion. The emphasis on voice acting and storylines? Give me grind quests and fucking dungeons! No, I have no idea. BioWare doesn’t share my skepticism. Maybe cause they made it or something. They think it’s going to last for decades. Decades.

Director Hired To Adapt Palahniuk’s ‘Invisible Monsters’. Gulp.
Chuck Palahniuk is up there on the pantheon on my favorite writers. He sits alongside Vonnegut, Gibson, Diaz and Ellis, forming some sort of supergroup. Invisible Monsters is my favorite book by him. The news that they’re finally moving ahead with an adaptation of it has got me suffering a bit of the ball sack tightening.
Search Engine Terms: Rapture Comes From BioShock Boning.
[Search Engine Terms come from an app in the Word Press dashboard. It tells you the terms that people are using in google to lead to your site. Most of ours are ultra depraved and horrible. And amusing to sick people like me.]
I wish I had some idea why BioShock Porn is currently a hot topic among people on the internet. There’s been a run on dudes and dudettes needing their fill of Big Daddy drilling or something. Whatever the case, it’s been the lead search term bringing people to the site for the past two days.
The Dark Knight Rises Trailer As Done By Insane Taiwanese Animators.
Next Media Animation is responsible for a constant flow of absurd depicitions, but they’ve outdone themselves here. Their own take on The Dark Knight Rises trailer features: Batman puking in love with Catwoman, Bane beating Batman’s ass in a Wal-Mart after Batman rings him up, and more. It’s magical. Insane. Insanely magical.
Planetary Nebula Kn 61 Looks Like A Cosmic Soap Bubble.
Enlarge. | Via.
Check out Kn 61. It’s a planetary nebula that looks like those soap bubbles you can blow with those magical wands they sell at convenience stores and the like. Perhaps the Omnidimensional Creator had a son or daughter who was bored and it gave them the most enormous of soap bubble matter spewing wands. And thus Kronberger 61 was born. Or maybe it’s the remnants of gas that was sent into space by a dying star. I think I like my explanation more.
THIS WEEK ON True Blood: Me and the Devil.
If the goal of a television show is to keep you watching, then this week’s episode of True Blood succeeded. It had that sort of “son of a bitch it’s over?” cliffhanger ending that makes you regret your inability to pierce time and space with your Dong of Atemporality. If only I can run fast enough, piercing the thin skein that keeps us transcending space and time.
BREAKING BAD: Thirty-Eight Snub
The day after Walter, Jesse, and Mike watched the life bleed out of Victor finds them trying to get their shit together. Walter, who is 100 percent certain Gus is going to kill him, tries to be proactive and buys a gun. Mike goes to a bar and blurs the memory with booze. Jesse moves back into his old place with the gaudiest stereo on earth. Gus decides it’s best to not hang around the lab anymore. He was checkmated by Walter and Jesse shot his hopeful chemist, Gale. Probably a good idea to let those boys cool off and get back to work.
Monday Morning Commute: Livin’ for Sprayin’
Hello.
My name is Rendar Frankenstein and I’m the host of the soiree that is the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! At the beginning of every workweek, I take off my conformity-jacket so that you can peek at the heart on my sleeve. But the Hypernerd Realm is far too vast for one man to map on his own, so I’m going to need a little help. After you check out my methods of leveling-up, hit up the comments section and share yours.
This is about sharing ideas, the most human activity of all.
So let’s dance, you grubby fucks.

One Black Hole Contains 140 Trillion Times the Water On Earth. What A Hog.
There’s a black hole out there a mere 12 billion light-years away that contains 140 trillion times the water on Earth. Son of a bitch is hogging all those resources and here we are feeling guilty for peeing in the ocean and running our showers too long. Greedy piece of space shit.
