Hey cool, I just got back from Guatemala for an anthropology field thing. Didn't get to see nearly as many ruins as I'd have liked, but whaddya gonna do. They actually didn't even let us leave the Highlands, because my school's a wuss about malaria and dengue. Read more

That's what weird, is that Mulan wasn't really 'rebellious'. She was just an odd duck. Everything she did, she did for the sake of her family and father.

Mech games especially benefit from being able to constantly see your own machine, and all the pistons and actuators moving around.

It's more of a Shelbyville idea...

God damn, Garrison. Jet Li, Ahnold, and now Andrew WK have all given this the thumbs up. Read more

As with everything else, there was a criminal underusage of Kevin Conroy. Read more

For what it's worth, Ridley Scott's had The Forever War on his docket of upcoming movies for a few years now. Hopefully he can bring in that Prometheus tech. Read more

The combined deflection of blaster bolts by lightsabers and the chronic inaccuracy of on-screen Troopers taught us that they weren't really anything to worry about. Read more

I guess this could go here. Read more

Man, the production values of Takeshi's Castle really have dropped off...

Magneto battles Paul McCartney and Wings on an ice floe.
