Robert Rodriguez Talks ‘Sin City 2.’ Money and Script Coming Together. Sure.
When the first Sin City came out, everyone was all “Oh hey sick!, Rodriguez is going to be making a sequel! Totally gnarly.” It was so long ago that gnarly was in fashion. Since then we’ve been waiting. And waiting. And waiting. While he makes Spy Kids 4D: Jessica Alba’s Stretched Poon.
Well, now it’s really maybe sort of coming. So says Rodriguez.

Ken Levine is one of the visionaries working in video games right now. Say what you want about the ideologies that propel these visions, the dude has got them. So when he talks, I pay attention.

Video: Thug Friends’ Single Is ‘Drunk Off Titty Milk”. Wowzers.
This is probably old. Nonetheless I came across this video today over at Behold the Destroyer’s blog. Thug Friends’ new single is Drunk Off Titty Milk. It is a clear sign of the forthcoming cultural apocalypse that I have no fucking idea whether or not this video is serious. I hope it is. I really do.

FIFA 12 Features In-Game Hair Transplant.
We’ve had video games changed to reflect post-season roster moves. Even in-season roster moves. This is the first time that a video game has been altered to reflect an athlete’s new hairline.
Marvel Releases Second Teaser For ‘4’. FF #600 Hype Train Much?
Marvel’s released a second teaser for ‘4’. I’m going to go ahead and throw my coins in with the lot that believes this is all part of a building hype train for Fantastic Four #600. If that is the case, it’s going to be curious to see if they’re going to run F4 in tandem with Future Foundation, fold one into the other, or have FF #600 and then continue on with the regular numbering. Thing I’m pretty certain of: this isn’t going to be the return of J. Storm. Not yet.

Google Group Uses Facial Recognition To ID London Rioters. The Future.
From what I can tell safely ensconced in my computer chair across the pond, things are getting out of control over in London. A community of people have formed a Google group dedicated to using facial recognition technology to identify London rioters via online photos. Welcome to the future-present.
Sun Unleashes X-Class Solar Flare. Our Star Be Workin’ This Year.
You have to hand it to the Sun this year. It’s been acting up like nobody’s business. Well, except for ours I suppose. Today it set forth a gorgeous X-class solar flare. It’s scientifically proven that anything with an “X” makes it at least 100-times cooler.
Breaking Bad: Bullet Points
Breaking Bad continues its run of having amazing prologues with the chicken truck getting raked with bullets while Mike chills inside. Amazing and a cold, badass performance there from Jonathan Banks. The episode then puts on the brakes for a solid 20 minutes. In this time Skyler researches gambling addicts and runs through Walt’s dramatic confessional for Marie and Hank – to Walt’s dismay. “Terribly?” And just when the episode began to tread water a bit for me (which I’ve never complained about in this series) Gale appears on screen performing karaoke to “Major Tom.” It was like a punch in the gut – something it looks like Walt felt as well.
Video: The Best Moments From This Year’s ‘EVO’ Tournament. Goosebumps? Check.
EVO 2011 was what, a couple of weekends ago? During it, Richard Li strapped a camera to his face and recorded the entire thing. He’s compiled all that swag into a video, and it’s pretty enjoyable. The excitement in the room is palpable, countless gamers watching two people go at it in a method of combat known to geeks through and through. When they lose their shit because of a parry or super that was gorgeous, I feel it down my spine. Very cool.
