Creator Of The ‘Konami Code’ Talks About Its Origin.
Either you know the Konami Code, or you’re adrift in geek lore mediocrity. Ever wonder why it was the specific code it was? Neither did I. Get educated anyways.

DINOSAURS, Life On Earth, And Relativity.
This is a bit out there, but hey what the fuck can you do. I was bombing through Warren Ellis and John Cassaday’s Planetary last night when there was a segment about the explosion that wiped out the dinosaurs. As I am wont to be, I got a bit curious and began wondering: just how long enough was this shit?, what were we up to?, and perhaps more vacuously: could people have come to Earth (people being a rather homosapien-heavy filtering of the notion of intelligent life, a concept perhaps even beyond our simian brains to comprehend outside of limited parameters) and I came across a pretty awesome way of looking at Dinosaurs, Us, and How Long We’ve Been Here.

Monday Morning Commute: Peepuhlz of Erph
Hey there!
How’s it going? If you’re a citizen of the Empire like I am, then chances’re that you might have the day off of work for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. I’d like to think that I’m going to spend the day contemplating the racial disparity that’s marred the history of the United States. Perhaps I could even set aside some time to figure out a way to try to oppose the inequality that lingers to this day.
But the fact is that I’m more apt to sleep in late, eat pizza, and straight-chill.
Hey! Don’t judge me! I’m just bein’ honest! If you know something I can do to help the world, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. But if nothing else, I’ll probably figure out some nerdy way to empathize with racial tensions.
Okay, okay – thissere’s the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! I’m going to show you the different bits of entertainment I’ll be using to assemble my own anti-stress mech. After you check out the ways I’m going to entertain myself through the workweek, your task is to hit up the comments section and show off your own wares. Yes, this is essentially show-and-tell, minus the rules and kindergarten teacher who was probably hot back in the 1970s but is now a crabby old bitch.
Let’s rock.
Sunday Brew Review: Innis & Gunn Original
It’s only 15 degrees Fahrenheit outside.
While I don’t have to worry about stray probe droids or wampa attacks, I can’t help but feel like I’m trapped on Hoth. I keep starting my car, just to make sure that its hyperdrive hasn’t been deactivated. After all, I’m going to have to get the fuck out of the driveway once Vader and his crew roll up.
They don’t mess around.
Okay, so I don’t have to worry about the Dark Lord of the Sith tossing my dessicated corpse into a snowbank. But I also don’t have the benefit of taking a dip in a bacta tank. So how am I, a regular fanboy without any mastery of the Force, supposed to survive the frozen hell that is the Bostonian January?
Why, with the sweet warmth of alcohol! On this early Sunday afternoon, I’m tossing back a bottle of the oak-aged elixir that is Innis & Gunn Original.
C’mon Chewie, punch it!

House Ain’t Voting On SOPA Until ‘Consensus’ Reached. White House Won’t Support It.
If you’re on this website, you’re clearly emotionally disturbed. Maybe. Hey don’t take offense. However, if you’re on this website you’re also probably internet savvy and you know all about the SOPA. So I won’t waste my time explaining it for the 1,000th time. However, I will tell you that the House has said they won’t vote on it until a consensus is reached.
Sweet?
The Little Ghost Nebula Offers A Look Into Our Future Oblivion!
Behold the Little Ghost Nebula, founded by astronomy swagger beast William Herschel back in the 18th century. The fuck are you doing with your life? Herschel was finding nebula back in the comparative goddamn dark ages. This little quaint Nebula of Ghostiness may be a look into what’ll happen to our own star.
