Astronauts are eating the first space-grown vegetables, today. Lettuce celebrate!
Terrible pun! But this is pretty gnarly. Astronauts aboard the ISS are eating the first space-grown vegetables today, in the form of some seriously red romaine lettuce. To space! To Mars! To Andromeda! With ruffage!
Hulu announces they won’t allow binge-watching of their new slate of shows
Hulu ain’t down with binge-watching. The company has announced that you won’t be able to plow through their upcoming slate of offerings in one sitting, instead reverting back to that dusty, moth-covered TV model you all hate. My knee-jerk reaction is to say this is “fucking stupid” and “retrograde.” But you know what? I’ve really enjoyed the hype and conversation that comes with having to wait every week for a new episode of certain shows. Namely, last year’s True Detective. And Mr. Robot this year. There are certainly pros and cons to both models, and while I think they’re going to face a large backlash for this, I’m not holding one of the pitchforks.
‘Final Fantasy XV’ team working on FLYING AIRSHIPS for game with ‘Just Cause’ devs
Oh god. Oh. God. Don’t play with my heart like this, Square Enix. Could airships really be making a return to Final Fantasy?! Ones that you can actually fly?! I don’t care if this is DLC or not. Take my money.
Colin Farrell has been cast in ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’
Despite hating the second season of True Detective, I love me some Colin Farrell. In fact, he’s one of the more enjoyable components of the aforementioned abysmal television season. So I’m down with him being cast in Fantastic Beasts. I imagine I will enjoy this movie moderately more than I have his earnest detecting.
‘World of Warcraft’ subscriber base hits nine-year low
I probably should have posted about this before Blizzard dropped their expansion announcement last week. But you know, moving. Sort of sucked up my energy. Anyways — WoW has seen its subscriber base drop to a nine-year low. I suppose you could view this negatively. Or you could appreciate the utter fucking lasting power of the franchise. Also, pause to appreciate that the game will definitely draw in former players (hi!) when the next expansion hits.
