Sony On PSN Attack: Customers Woke Up, We Made Money. Ah, Tact.
You have to appreciate Sony’s desire to swagger despite getting hacked this year. Global strategy Fascist Plotter for Sony So Saida has dropped some more encouraging words regarding the attack that spread like a blight across the network and left all of us X-bots giggling. What’d he say? Wasn’t no thang, we made the dough!
THIS WEEK ON The Walking Dead: Bloodletting.
This week’s episode starts with a flashback. It takes place on the same day that Rick gets shot. Initially this scene disturbed me. Not because I’m emotionally invested in the characters. Not because I felt for Lori as she has to tell Carl that his dad was shot, and then explain the possible consequences. Its because I don’t want Walking Dead to be like LOST. I don’t want flashbacks.
Jim Lee Does Spy vs. Spy. Match Made In…Madness?
Does MAD magazine still exist? I used to feign for that shit every time I hit up the Newsstand. Jim Lee’s offered his own take on the classic Spy vs. Spy, and wouldn’t you know it’s as pose-y as ever.
Hit the jump to check it out.
THIS WEEK ON Dexter: A Horse of a Different Color.
Quite often the efficacy of the sidekick is downplayed. They are relegated to pure ancillary uses. You know, serving to wipe down your bloodstains, do the laborious bone sawing. The grunt word of the serial killer underworld. Let us make no mistakes about it, every serial killer aspires to one day have their own lackey. It’s understandable. They’re clutch though, and if you’re going to take a sidekick into your underworld of Blood and Gloom the best advice I can give you is this. Choose carefully. Your enterprise rides on it.

Blizzard Talking Console Controls for ‘Diablo 3’, Still Won’t Confirm It.
Blizzard hasn’t officially confirmed console versions of Diablo 3. That didn’t stop them at Blizzcon from discussing them working on getting the controls right for a console version. Which is about as a soft-but-official acknowledgement as you can get.
Has Joss Whedon Made A Shakespeare Movie? Fillion Says Yes.
Joss Whedon may or may not have made a movie based off of Shakespeare. Whether or not he has depends on what you choose to believe. Which I suppose sounds a lot like most things in life.
Fear Fest: Space Disasters! Quiet, No One Can Hear You Scream.
OCTOBER 23rd, Space Travel Disasters
“Well, the thing about a black hole – its main distinguishing feature – is it’s black. And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour, is black. So how are you supposed to see them.”
-Holly (Red Dwarf)
I love the idea of space travel, I really do. However, when I think of everything that can go wrong it scares the shit out of me. I understand we’ve had about 100 years of flight under our belts now but that still does nothing for my nerves. We don’t have junk floating around in the sky that could cause a collision … unless you count Southwest. Southwest fucking sucks. I’ve flown with them twice and both times they’ve fucked me or someone in my party. But before I get too far off topic, space travel has its fair share of dangers.
OCTOBERFEAST – Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard
[OCTOBERFEAST is the greatest celebration of the year, a revelry dedicated to pop-culture’s most nutritious Halloween detritus. Plastic screams and artificial sweeteners have never been more bountiful. In the old country, villagers refer to the extended party as Satan’s Snacktime]
(I volunteered to help Rendar out today with a post, so sorry for the drop in quality inc.)
Thomas Gray’s true pimp of an elegy, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard is an appropos son of a bitch for this month of the Spirits and Rot. It contains one of my favorite lines in all of the classic British Literature I’ve read throughout my days, and it reminds us that just as the leaves decay and spiral down to the ground below we ourselves continue our march towards Oblivion. Smile, you’re only dying.
