[E3 2012 – Watch Dogs] Ubisoft…brings it?
Big-hitters Microsoft and EA really threatened to sabotage expectations for the rest of the show with their media briefings today. Brown-grey shooters nearly impossible to discriminate from one another, QTE gameplay that privileges the spectacle of a cutscene over freedom of gameplay, and gimmick bullshit that flexes a tech muscle over a truly practical one; it was all over the place.
Enter Ubisoft, with a history of terrible press events. Who expected them to steal all the thunder, with not only a stable of solid and exciting games but a new IP to boot!

Monday Morning Commute: Ancient World Cliterature
All hands on deck!
It appears that Spaceship Omega has inadvertently veered off course. Somehow, perhaps because Navigator Burton fell asleep after drinking too many Pepsi-and-gasoline cocktails, we have slipped into a pocket of spacetime usually avoided at all costs. That’s right, folks, batten down the hatches and brace yourselves! We’re headed right for it!
The beginning of the workweek!
As wave after wave of ennui, minutiae, and stress wash over us, we can rest assured. For every passenger of Spaceship Omega has a spot in the refuge known as the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! What is this sanctuary, you ask? Well, this is where I take the time to show you the various bits of entertainment and mind-drivel I’ll be using to survive the onslaught of real-world responsibilities. Then, you hit up the comments section and tell us which floatation device you’ll be clinging to when your ass is tossed into the Ocean of Obligation.
Yes, beneath the half-baked metaphors and bleeding-heart-on-my-sleeve hyperbole, it’s folks tryin’ to point one another in the direction of cool shit.
Oh no! Another wave! Let’s do this!

Nintendo Reveals their “WII U” Hardcore Controller; They Just Rip Off Microsoft.
Nintendo has revealed the controller for the Wii U. You know, the actual controller. Much like their tablet-monstrosity smacks of an iPad, their “pro” controller looks like a repainted Xbox 360 controller. I can’t complain too much however, since the source they’re ninjaing is the best controller on the market.

US And Israel Ordered The Stuxnet Attack Against Iran Nuclear Facilities; No Doi!
Stuxnet was a worm that ran pillaging through the computer mainframe things of Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities. Surprising no one!, it turns out that the son of a bitch as issued by none other than Dr. Swag Nasty Obama (my own nickname for him) and in conjunction with Israel.

Milky Way Galaxy COLLIDING With The Andromeda Galaxy…In 4 Billion Years. Can’t Wait.
I’ve read before about the gnarly collision that is destined between our own home galaxy and that sliding son of a bitch Andromeda. Unfit to let our eventual collision be left as a burden on other homo-martian-neptunians, NASA astronomers have decided to let the world know.
