VIDEO: NASA’S ‘Perpetual Ocean’ Animation is Trippy Ocean Current Bliss
NASA is getting their trippy on with this animation. It depicts all the ocean currents rocking out at once, and we the viewer get to bask in their science. I’m personally doing so in my underwear, mowing a cold can of Campbell’s Chunky soup. You continue on NASA with your wizardy, I’ll continue seeing the bar low for us geeks of the world.

AT-AT Walker Goes Oil Painting; Classy Galaxy Far, Far Away
Ain’t this the veritable mash-up. We have the AT-AT walker meeting an oil painting. It says, “Yeah, I’m sweaty and I like convention circuits, but I also discuss the franchise scat fest George Lucas has created over some wine. That I sip out of my Empire Strikes Back wine glass.”
UK MPs Want Laws Compelling Google To Censor Search Results. Orwell’s Ghost Nods.
Talk about shoehorning bullshit into seemingly harmless legislation. UK MPs want to go about preventing their blood-thirsty press from reporting on celebrities and shiz. Seems harmless enough. However how they want to go about doing so is typical backroom privacy-rights destroying bullshit.
‘THE AVENGERS’ Soundtrack Features Late 90’s Nu-Metal Crap. Also: New Soundgarden
Oh boy! I thought that the awful use of Nine Inch Nails in the trailer for Avengers was bad. I like the song, but holy fuck. Heavy handed. After glancing at the soundtrack listing for the flick, I’m not wishing that was the worst of my problems.
DreamWorks releases the trailer for “Rise of the Guardians”. What the good god hell.
Having been operating under the impression that “How To Train Your Dragon” was a complete one-off, I was shocked when someone on Tumblr linked me to the trailer for DreamWorks’s upcoming film, “Rise of the Guardians”, and it looked good. I mean, really good. The kind of good that usually isn’t associated with DreamWorks.
‘AKIRA’ Creator Is Tagging Back Into Manga. *Cue Tetsuoooooo*
I don’t read manga, but the anime adaptation of Akira is more than responsible for help shaping the warped, bent, broken psyche that I own these days. Katsuhiro Otomo is the creator of the long-as-fuck saga, and he hasn’t written any long-form manga since then.
Until now. Cue dramatic horns!
‘CALL OF DUTY’ Creative Strategist ‘FourZeroTwo’ Resigns. There Was…Creative Strategy?
The creative strategist behind Call of Duty has resigned, prompting me to ask the dickish question. When was the last time we actually found anything resembling creative strategy in the Call of Duty franchise? From the DLC to the ad campaigns to the treatment of their fans. It’s all pretty bland to me.
MERCURY Got Itself Some MYSTERIOUS HOLLOWS. Snape Snickers.
The fun thing about all the bullsquash that NASA is launching into orbit is that not only is it helping the Space Brains of the Blue Marble figure things out, its also raising new questions as well. For what is the imagination for, if it has no room left to guess with? What the fuck…? Anyways, yeah! NASA’s MESSENGER turned up some unexpected hollows on the surface of Mercury.
The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Movies I Hate Yet Everyone Else Loves
We all have movies that we hate yet everyone else we know seems to love. Those movies that are brought up in conversation that we have to bite our tongue lest we incur the wrath of the public. Well in today’s High 5 I’m taking a stand. I encourage all of you to take a stand with me. Yell from the rafters how much you hate a certain classic movie. Or yell at me for hating these particular movies.
This Indie Developer Walked Away From Zynga’s $120 Million Purchase of OMGPOP. Dude’s Got Spine.
Shay Pierce was an employee at OMGPOP, the company behind the infernal Draw Something. Said company was going to be gobbled the fuck up by Zynga to the tune of $120 million. Unlike the rest of his fellow employees at the company, Pierce said “no thanks”, and peaced out of the joint. Why, you ask? Read on.
