Fans of Battlestar Galactica who don’t live in China have really been missing out. Apparently there is a whole different series featuring a “Saw-like” ending, while still maintaining its ability to be a “good-hearted tween comedy.” But frankly, I trust “Jom Monaghis of the Geiroit Free Press” over the San Francisco Chronicle (?) any day. Not to mention that this ...

Comb through the streets of Denden town, located in the Nipponbashi district of Osaka, Japan and you might come across something that makes your heart-writhe and your head sing. Super Potato is a gaming and game collectible superstore located in the shopping district of Osaka, and the images I’ve posted speak for themselves. While it’s square-footage is meager, the contents ...

As an iPhone owner myself, I can say that this is unequivocally untrue. If I were running OKCupid, I’d go back and check if iPhone users are also much more likely to pay for sex then other smartphone users. But regardless of my involuntary abstinance, OKCupid says it is so. They also say that the camera you use for your ...

I was playing Duck Hunt the other day for the first time in around 15 years and it made me realize just how great of game it really was/is. I don’t know if it was just because it played such a big role in my childhood, but the game is just painfully addicting, even without the awesome gun controller (I ...

“You got Donkey Kong on this thing?” A boy at the San Francisco Zoo accidentally dropped his Nintendo DSi XL into the gorilla enclosure, resulting in the corruption of at least a pair of gorillas’ fragile brains. As you can tell from the photography captured from the scene, the gorilla proceeded to pick up the DSi and play around with ...

A team of researchers, using 35 years of Google-donated idle CPU time, has mathematically proven that all all 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 Rubik’s Cube arrangements can be solved in 20 moves or less. The God number, as users in the Rubik’s community like to call it. Every solver of the Cube uses an algorithm, which is a sequence of steps for solving the ...

My mom rarely got creative when she made my lunch. I think once or twice she pulled off a crustless star (which sort of sucked, because I fucking loved the crust), but about 99.99% of the time, my sandwiches were limited to the diagonal or vertical cut. Either way, it still tasted the same. Now that I’ve got another woman ...

When I was a kid I had a sick obsession with pens. If it wasn’t for computers being my primary writing utensil I probably still would. From Uniball to Dr. Grip, I cherished them all. I still get an urge to grab boxes of pens whenever I pass the office supply aisle at Walmart. But then I remind myself, what ...

If the newest iOS beta is any sort of indication, the rumors we’ve been hearing about front-facing cameras being key features of new models of the iPod Touch and iPad could be more than just a simple whisper on the streets of Cupertino. The new beta adds a new option for connecting through FaceTime via e-mail addresses, rather than just ...

It all seemed so harmless.The princess was in trouble. What else was he supposed to do? A damsel in distress was always his weakness. But the guilt, it was too much. Not everyone is built for a life of murder and mayhem, no matter how heroic the ultimate goal might seem. He tried to cover up his crimes but the ...
