The Hearthstone Soundtrack Is So Good

The first thing that struck me about Hearthstone wasn’t the lovely art or the goofy writing; it was the music. That killer music. I’d been waiting to play the game until it came out on iPad, and finally dove in last weekend. The more I played, the more I liked playing. (To the point where,…

I Don’t Get Cats, And Neither Does Science

Dogs are big, dumb, infinitely lovable obedience machines. Cats—love ’em, hate ’em, or spend half your day giggleweeping to Internet videos of them—are anything but. Why are they so willfully difficult? What’s going on in their heads? The short version: we don’t really know. Cats are weird. My cat has done everything from comfort me…

Everything Wrong With Spider-Man In 11 Minutes

I didn’t mind the first Spider-Man movie, but every superhero flick has plenty of crazy continuity errors and ridiculous tropes. Spider-Man‘s tally? 115 in 11 minutes. There are a lot of common sins here, but the one I never would’ve caught is a two-column newspaper blurb that copies text from the first column to fill…

Nintendo’s Secret Weapon

On the third floor of Nintendo’s U.S. headquarters, next to the conference rooms named after Mario and Donkey Kong, there’s a door that you can’t open.

The First Player To Unlock All 2,057 Of World of Warcraft‘s Achievements

No, it wasn’t one of the Blizzard devs, but a rather enthusiastic Russian player, Хируко, who managed to unlock every single achievement in World of Warcraft (that’s 2057 at the moment) and an extra 205 of the ~300 Feats of Strengths unlocked. Technically this means he has nothing left to do (collect missing mounts, maybe?)…
