The Moon Is 200 Million Years Younger Than Expected. Pock Marks Make You Look Rough, Eh?
The Moon looks rough. Pock marks, craters, what have you. Dull grey. Rough. Just from its looks I would say it’s something like 9-trillion years old. I’d be way, way off. However, even scientist-wunderminds were wrong in their estimation of the Moon’s age for a long time. The pig is 200 million years younger than previously thought.

Apparently Blizzard is very, very, very, totally, not lying we’re legit here serious about bringing Diablo III to consoles. Lead designer Josh Mosqueira for the game made as much clear during at Blizzard’s Gamescom press conference.
Ridley Scott To Produce and Direct New ‘Blade Runner’ Movie. Oh My Psyche.

Video: DC Releases ‘New 52’ Commercial. This Won’t Work.
Putting aside any sort of snark, I cannot fathom this DC commercial for their ‘New 52’ persuading anyone who doesn’t read comic books to come check out their reboot-refresh-tabula-close-t0-rasa bullshit. I really can’t. It’s a cheese vomit concoction.
Hit the jump to check out the video.
And probably shake your head.
EVE Online Ponzi Scheme Brings In $50,000.
EVE Online is home to some dastardly espionage. Real-life ninja spy corporation exploitation shit. The latest in-game wunder is a ponzi scheme that netted the scammers 1 billion ISK. So what? That shit can be exchanged for $50,000 in United States paper things.
Good lord.

Lyle Monroe Bensley broke into a lady’s apartment and bit her neck. Bensley claimed that he was a vampire, and if that’s case can’t we float the kid the pass? The blood thirst!, I mean it totally clouds what is certainly an otherwise rational lad.
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Gets November Release Date. Good Lord.
Even previous to this news. November to my wallet: fuck you. November to my school work: fuck you. November to my sanity: fuck you. The month in games was already too much, now it’s threatening to break me. I never thought I’d actually lament a much-anticipated game’s release date as being too close, but here it is.
Help Man Launch The Island He Made From 135,000+ Plastic Bottles.
Rishi Sowa has built an island out of plastic bottles. The island, which is actually his third, is built out of more than 135,000 plastic bottles and is getting ready to be launched out to sea from the lagoon it’s currently chilling in. Sowa needs cash money to buy the specifics he needs so the pig can stand the cruel waves of the sea. Like all enterprising (eco) artists, Sowa has turned to the formless, enormous inter-space known as the world wide web for some help.
Variant Covers: Make My Matt Murdock A Byronic Hero.
It’s a small week for me. Which is okay, because if we’re all pulling down our pull list pants and baring all for one another, I’ll confess that the only comic book I’ve read from last week’s haul is Fear Itself #5. It isn’t that there wasn’t a healthy amount of titles for me to gorge on. It’s just that I’m the prototypical comic book equivalent of an edger. If you’d like to think of my reading comic books as masturbating (because let’s face it for a comic book geek to talk about actual fornication is just killing the motif), then my reading habits have me perpetually hovering around my favorite titles. The time needs to be perfect. To climax with the titles that truly blow my mind. Last week I didn’t climax, my stack of comic books is blue and bulging and asking for release.
I’m not really sure what I’m writing about anymore.
