Video: WILLIAM GIBSON Interview Touching On Drugs, Politics, Cityscapes
William Gibson predicted the future, and as I type on this keyboard to you across our mass hallucination, I’m only ratifying that claim. Here’s a pretty fucking awesome interview by Alex Pasternack in which he gets Gibson to open up on a variety of things. Gods, I love this man.

Vladimir Putin: Russian Has Microwave Mind Control Zombie Gun. Oh Vladdy
Vladimir Putin isn’t fucking around. You can tell that the Lord Emperor of Russian (and tiger kung-fu dominator) takes the USSR’s loss of the Cold War with a particularly chaffed ass. That leads him to dropping little nougats every once in a while about Russian rockitude. Take for example, the microwave zombie gun.
New York State Removes Sex Offenders From Xbox Live. Sensibility ++
This makes almost too much sense. New York State went out of their way this week to remove registered sex offenders from Xbox Live.
NASA made a 30MB gif of the Texas tornadoes. My browser weeps.
I was at work, rendering a 3D model of the thalamus, when I heard about the Texas tornadoes. Well, to be fair, my co-worker came tripping into my desk and exclaimed, “TORNADOES ARE THROWING 18-WHEELERS IN THE AIR LIKE FUCKING GRADUATION CAPS.” Now that is a statement that buys you ten minutes of my undivided attention.
TWO ‘AVENGERS’ TV SPOTS: Hulk Smashes Shit; Cap Leads
I’m becoming a bit of a workaholic here on my blogging grind. 10:30 on a Friday night. Ain’t drunk. Ain’t laid. Ain’t even reading funny books. Blogging. From my (finger)tip(s) to your gaping maw. Here. Have two new TV spots from Avengers. I can’t wait for this shit, even if the Captain America suit continues to look like a Hot Topic nightmare. I mean, shit! How can we complain when the Hulk is ballin’ out of control.
Video: JAMES CAMERON and National Geographic Create New Animation Of Titanic Sinking
James Cameron loves the fuck out of the Titanic. Sometimes he quietly slips into his little underwater scooter thing, pilots down to the wreckage and makes sweet slow love to his hand. Cameron’s sea cucumber enjoys a moment of spillage, and up, up, up he goes. One of the products of this love is a new animation showing how the beauty sank all those years ago.
Chinese Kid Sells Kidney For iPad; Now Needs His Own Kidney Transplant. Dismal ++
This is some dismal shit right here. A Chinese kid was so desperate to own an iPad and iPhone that he took to the black market and sold a kidney. That itself is a damning comment on commodity culture, but since the duder did so it’s been all down hill.
MPAA Boss Says New SOPA Is Happening Behind The Scenes. Duh-Doi!
The MPAA isn’t taking the death of SOPA laying down. They’re doubling-down and coming up with something nefarious to emerge in its place.
Press Start: BioWare Eats A League Of Fart Cup Cakes
Welcome to Press Start!, the weekly column where we blab about the happenings in the world of gaming in the past seven days. It’s done-up as a list, ‘cause motherfuckers love lists. Audience participation is encouraged, so if you see something absent from the list let’s get some dialogue going in the comments section. However as you make your way to the microphone be mindful of the urine-and-tacks filled balloons hanging above. They will punish the spiteful.
NEW ‘PROMETHEUS’ PICS: Riding The Deluge!
New Prometheus pics. You have to had it to the Marketing Squadron. They’ve started putting more and more content out there, but have done so in an intelligent manner. I mean, fuck. All of the new “images” dropping are so heavily derivative of the snacks they’ve already given us. We feel like we’re getting omfg new Prometheus swag, while not really getting much spoiled for us.
