Video: NASA’s New Mars Rover ‘Curiosity’ Begins 345-Million Mile Journey To The Red Planet.
How fucking awesome is this? NASA launched their new Mars rover today, Curiosity. Even more amazing? I’ve never realized that it’s a 345-million mile journey. Just wrap your brainstem around the sort of distances we can cover. Tremendous.
Hit the jump to see the launch, and for some deets.

Despite having three projects due in three weeks, despite that I could have waited until Christmas and saved cheddar, despite the fact that I haven’t beaten Arkham City, I caved. I couldn’t help it. Bethesda, you devil you.
Press Start!: Homoerotic Rimjobs, Lightsabers and Christmas Moms.
Hello, friends. How you doing? Are you stuffed to the brim with Thanksgiving food? Is your bowel movement the consistency of corn-flavored soft serve ice cream? Then kick your feet up and read this edition of Press Start!, the column where I mouth off about the events in the previous week of gaming. It’s a list! You like lists. Santa likes lists. Everyone is partying in lists. Unbutton them pants, let the stink of your overworked groin-parts lull you into a state of semi-consciousness, and open your gaming Third Eye to me.
‘Star Trek 2’ Dropping In May of 2013. In 3D. Vulcan Grip My Loins!
I’ve been feigning for the Star Trek Lens Flare Extravaganza to get a sequel for a while now, and while I continue to wait I at least know when it shall end. In May of 2013. With Michael Giacchino scoring it. Hell yeah!
Friday Brew Review: Fade to Black (Volume 3)
I love sequels.
After all, what’s better than getting to revisit the worlds that’ve inspired us? The first voyage to these lands sees us falling in love, realizing we’re being changed irrevocably, and then making lifetime commitments. But the subsequent trek? Well, that’s the honeymoon, with garters torn asunder and bed frames busted in half.
That’s not to say that all successors are worthy additions to a franchise. Many aren’t. And some are goddamn abominations. But those sequels that fire on all cylinders? Magic.
The Empire Strikes Back. The Godfather Part II. Die Hard with a Vengeance. Ghostbusters II. Aliens. Terminator II. Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey. Predator II. Temple of Doom. The Two Towers. Army of Darkness. The Dark Knight.
You get the point.
Today, I’m applying my love for sequels to my penchant for Friday beer-drankin’. Instead of guzzling any run-of-the-mill, first go-around brew, I’m sippin’ on the third member of a veritable beer franchise.
Today, I’m drinking Fade to Black Volume 3: Pepper Porter.
Give It Up for THANKS!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving, children and men and babes of the Omega-verse. I know it’s corny, but I kind of like the `ole giving thanks thing. Ya know, sittin’ round the table in the fellowship of friends and family, and letting them know that there are aspects of existence for which we’re appreciative.
So let’s do that. Hit up the comments section and share what you’re actually thankful for this year.
