Canada Has Huge New Evidence-Free Electronic Spying Bill. Canucks!
Canada’s got itself some enormo-legislation that is paving the way for evidence-free spying. Oh Canada! You couldn’t just have your maple syrup, hockey, and insane taxes. No, no. You had to push it.
The Rock Says ‘Fast Six’ Shoots In May! Homoerotic Vroom Time, Huzzah!
I love me the Fast and Furious Bro Dudes and Scantily Clad Bitties franchise. Love it a lot. When they dropped The Rock into it, thick-veined and lightly-misted I let out an audible moan. That moan was more than audible when I came across these details about the next installment.
Babies Can Understand What You’re Saying At 6 Months Old. F**k. S**t.
I often fret about the various dangers of me bringing a baby into the world. (There’s a lot of possible positive attributes, but I have no self-esteem.) One of the is my salty language. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I enjoy swearing. A smidge. A new study shows that babies have a grasp of what we’re saying way earlier than I would have expected.
Trailer: ‘Max Payne 3’ Gets Second Official Reel of Awesome.
Max Payne 3 was originally scheduled to drop the same day as Mass Effect 3, and that was something I resented. With the release date pushed back into May, I’ll be able to saddle-up and enjoy the title. The second trailer brings the storyline into focus while teasing with the sort of bloodied nonsense that has come to be the franchise’s charm.

New ‘Resident Evil 6’ Details! No Rocky/Apollo Confirmation. Frown.
All I want out of Resident Evil 6 is a glorious moment where Leon and Chris skip along a beach holding hands and jumping up and hugging. You know, some Rocky III type shit. New details don’t confirm this, but they do get me excite!!!! for the game.
OL Book Review: Blueprints of the Afterlife
How do you like your post-apocalypse? A wasteland pregnant with zombies? A nuclear winter starring roving bands of leather-clad bastards? I’m tired of all those tripes too. Thankfully, I happened to pick up Ryan Boudinot’s dystopian novel, Blueprints of the Afterlife (published last month), on a whim and was treated to a fresh, complex look at a post-apoc. America. Equal parts Philip K. Dick, Terry Pratchett, and Palahniuk, Blueprints is a time-slipping, anti-corporate tale of survivors just trying to figure shit out. No epic travels across blackened Earth or raids on supply depots. Just people trying to figure out how things got so fucked up.
Mountain Dew Has Brought Back The ‘Purple Poison’, Tell My Tale.
Went Caffeine Stalking yesterday in order to feed the beast, and I came across these beauties. The Purple Poison. Capable of generating burps that leave you in no doubt that you’re rotting your innards with every gratifying gulp. My heart is utterly pissed at this development, but can you put a price on seeing The Eyes of The Gods?
Naw.
Merope’s Reflection Nebula Is Mirror Image Of Beauty. Get It? Rimshots. Everywhere.
Check out Merope’s Reflection Nebula. Looking all pretty and the such. Wouldn’t you know it though, it’s a parasite. Totally piggybacking on the splendor of a nearby star’s light.
‘A New Hope’ Done As An Infographic? Star Wars Bulge.
I love infographics. They always have some wanky information regarding treasured tropes in a slinky minimalist format. Wayne Dorrington has got A New Hope locked down in one, and it’s everything you could hope for. Plus!, a dancing rhinoceros. Okay, I made that part up.
