Gamers Crack Structure of AIDS-Related Protein. Yeah Man, We Good.
Give it up to us gamers! Granted, a term that is so encompassing across different social and cultural strata that to say “gamers solved it” could mean god knows what anymore. Still though. “We!”, yeah I’m including myself, we solved something pretty fucking fascinating.

‘Batman Incorporated’ Returns In December. Bat-Schwing.
Batman Incorporated is returning this December. This has me very excited, since I love my Morrison draped in a cowl these days. Upon its return it’s promising to kick-off a storyline that is the culmination of six years of Morrison’s work. G’damn.
Rumor: Your Xbox Will Soon Function As Comcast or Verizon Cable Box.
Microsoft hasn’t hid their desire to get into the television business on the 360-degree Xbox. It’s 360-degrees! All inclusive. They got themselves some UFC and some ESPN and some miscellany. Soon! Soon, they may be able to offer their console as a cable box.
Sick.
AMC Extends Running Time Of ‘Mad Men’, Oh My Draper.
It feels like Mad Men has been off the air for fucking ever, thanks to arguments and slap-fights and contractual wrangling between series creator Matthew Weiner and AMC. The good news is that when the son of a bitch returns, it’ll be at a slightly extended running time.
Awesome.
Video: Vader’s ‘Nooooo!’ Inserted Into Classic Movies. T-Rex Goes Emo!
There’s a point where you need to begin to learn to laugh at the travesties. This video infuses classic movies with the horrendous Darth Vader “Nooooo!” which once was only in Ep. III but has since infiltrated The Trilogy.
It’s good shit.
New Marvel Teaser: ‘Defeat the FF, Save The World!’
Marvel’s dropped a new teaser for the awkward, awfully named Fear Itself: The Fearless. Like, really? Clunky a-go-go. Brakes! I’m pumping them. It’s also written by Matt Fraction, and it has Valkyrie wanting to cut down the FF to save the world.
Hit the jump for the teaser.
Openly Gay Character Added To DC’s Relaunched ‘Teen Titans’. Comics Diversity Arms Race.
Well here’s an arms race I’m okay with. Just after Marvel added a multiethnic Spider-Man to their (Ultimate) universe, DC is adding Miguel Jose Barragan to the relaunched Teen Titans. Barragan is openly gay, and according to his creators is much more comfortable with his sexuality than the other gay and lesbian characters of the DCU.
Netflix Splits Streaming and DVD Services Into Two Companies. Adding Video Game Rentals. I’m Confused.
Everyone’s still pissed off about Netflix and its pricing changes, to the tune of a million people leaving the service. Today there’s some more glorious over-complication. Netflix is splitting their DVD service and their streaming service into two distinct companies. And if you want to know which one Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings thinks is going to last, you only need to see which service kept the Netflix name.
Video: New ‘BioShock Infinite’ Trailer From TGS. Glory Be To This Game.
The Tokyo Game Show got itself a ‘new’ BioShock Infinite trailer that interweaves pure gaming porn with footage we’ve seen before and ladles on top of it some new segments. I need this game. What are you waiting for?

Peter Dinklage Wins Emmy For ‘Game of Thrones’ Role. Tyrion Justice.
Peter Dinklage is so excellent in his portrayal of Tyrion on Game of Thrones that I usually take him for granted. Oh another excellent performance. Yawn! But he fucking owns as the Imp. Owns! And while I usually don’t give a fuck about awards shows, for some reason I take a good gleam to the news that Dinklage has cleaned up with an Emmy.
