Economically Devastated Greece Has Turned To Internet-Powered Barter Economy. Awesome.
…Not the economically devastated part, mind you. What is awesome is the idea that people of Greece have turned to thinking outside of the (western) culture box and adopted an internet-powered bartering economy. Living in fiction, man. Someone’s dream. Or nightmare.

Stars Put Up Safety Barriers For Planets. COSMIC BUMPERS.
As scientists have used their super-technos to discover more and more planets, they’ve come to notice a pattern between the distance of these planets from their stars.

Bad Guys win and Heroes fall in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
The ferocity with which some fans yearn for ‘traditional’ survival horror from the Resident Evil series often blinds us to just how diverse a series it has managed to become. Throughout its history we have seen it shift to a more contemporary, action-centric pace with Resident Evil 5, have seen it re-interpreted as a lightgun shooter with Darkside Chronicles and now, we see Operation Raccoon City recalling the often forgotten co-op experience of Resident Evil: Outbreak. At first, the idea of setting a team-based, 3rd person tactical shooter within the Resident Evil universe may seem a little jarring, but when you consider the breadth of the series so far, it doesn’t seem that odd after all.
