US Military Wants To HACK Foreign Game Consoles, Steal User Information. Dastardly ++
The Department of the Navy must have been watching some Dateline. Their latest and greatest way to spend tax payer money is to employ a company to boat a shitload of used gaming consoles overseas, and then till those consoles for user information. Have to get those terrorists’ information from them video game killer-builder machines.

Damien Hirst Live Video Feed – Coming Soon to OL
British artist Damien Hirst, arguably the richest artist on earth, has implemented a streaming video feed into his studio site, capturing the “magic” of art being created. Wouldn’t it be NEAT if we implemented something similar here at OL? Check it out, after the jump.
COMICS TIME THIS WEEK: Watch The Spaceman Choke, You Assholes.
Do you know how many comic books I read last week? One. I read the newest issue of Prophet and that was that. It was a gloriously hypnotic trek through a devastated post-apocalyptic Hemingway novel, and after that I shut my brain down for the week. I’ve been trying to slice the fatty material out of my comic diet. Much like my life I’m sure I’ll continue to binge, but the ideal is to strip down the pull-list into things I want to read. Not things I want to read, feel implored to read, and have a passing interest in at the cost of my wallet.
With that in mind, this is Comics We’re Buying This Fine Week. The column where we sit cross-legged in a circle, pantless of course, and share what we’re digging on in the funny book universe on a given Wednesday. I’ll go first. You follow me into the closet and count to 20. It’s going to be awesome.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘THE MASTER’ Gets OFFICIAL October Release Date
I thought this year’s movie releases were out of control, and then this happened. Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master has a release date. I wasn’t expecting anything out of this flick during this calendar year, and that was only during the times when I actually believed it would ever see the light of day.
Prometheus WonderCon Exclusive Trailer. The sound I just made wasn’t even human.
Do you know how excited I am for this movie? I’ve been waiting since 1979 — and I wasn’t even fucking born yet. I’ll always love Aliens, but the original Alien owns 42% of my heart (Close Encounters of the Third Kind owns the other 58%). To have Ridley Scott direct the prequel (and don’t tell me it’s not — the fucking space jockey is in the trailer) is pretty much every dream I’ve ever had come true. IN IMAX.
Here is the clip that premiered at WonderCon.
Microsoft Blocking PIRATE BAY LINKS In Instant Messages. Damn The Man!
The Pirate Bay is shucking and jiving like a motherfucker lately to stay ahead of the Popo Zao. Them wily sons a bitches are even contemplating taking their servers to the skies with drones. However, next they might need to figure out how to get around Microsoft blocking their links in their instant messages.
AESOP ROCK’S New Album ‘SKELETHON’ Gets Cover Art & Release Date. F**k Yeah.
Aesop Rock is one of my favorite artists of all time. His mind-bending lyrics are complimented by his humor and social commentary, and through this he has had an effect on how I think and even how I spit out the mindcap nonsense around these parts. There’s been a dry as fuck spell from Bazooka Tooth when it comes to solo albums, and that’s pained me in the nuts. Thankfully it’s all coming to an end this July.
Turkish STAR WARS Knock-Off Figures Are Crazy; Make More Sense Than Prequels
Forget the Force being strong with me, I need to get down with the Uzay. Such is the name of a line of Star Wars action figure knock-offs rolled out in the late 1980s in Turkey. As far as I’m concerned, the Turkish masterminds behind this line of figures were simply cleaning up lore, and elaborating on obvious concepts. Or losing their goddamn minds.
Joel Kinnaman Says The New ‘ROBOCOP’ Will Be More Human. Cause We All Cyborgs Now!
Actor Joel Kinnaman has been cast as the lead in the RoboCop remake, and he’s been speaking out recently about the gig. Usually I wouldn’t really pay attention to this fuzz, but Kinnaman hit on a hot topic that I think may agitate some Nerd Asses.
‘EVE ONLINE’ Players Can Use In-Game Cash To Buy Real-Life Graphics Cards. Rad.
Despite my good friend and occasional commenter Fink trying to explain EVE Online to me, I’ve never been able to fully grasp it. It isn’t that his explanations are poor, but rather it seems an online world of such complexity that it’s something I’d have to experience for myself. I mean, fuck! It’s the sort of game where you can buy real shit with money you earn in game.
