CBS Unveils Stephen King’s ‘Under The Dome’ Mini-Series, Reminds Me To Read Book Again
Yeah, you ain’t getting out, buddy. I don’t care if you have an owie-boo-boo.
I don’t read enough books to be one of those elite buggers that can claim ‘the book was better’ when said story transitions across media to TV or the silver screen. With the arrival of Stephen King’s Under The Dome, a mini-series that airs on CBS in June, I’ll finally get my chance to don that turtleneck and those thick-rimmed glasses unironically.
‘SimCity’ Still Broken: Mega-City Built With No Power, Water, Or Sewage, Sims Okay With That
It looks kinda like Kowloon City, doesn’t it?
It seems we can’t go a week without some deep-cutting example of SimCity‘s broken design makes its way across the internet. The game I wanted to be the best of the year comes to another turn as reddit user Photism creates a megalopolis of 1.8 million Sims – yes, that many – that don’t have access to any amenities, jobs, or utilities. Great.
StarCraft 2: Heart Of The Swarm (PC) Campaign Review: Falling Out Of Love With Blades
“Yo girl, did you want to like, I don’t know, hang out sometime?”
As of this moment, it’s been three weeks since I installed Heart of the Swarm, the Zerg-themed first expansion to 2010’s StarCraft 2. I had intended to beat it within a week and report my findings, but that just didn’t materialize. Just an hour ago, I opened the game to start my final jaunt toward completing the campaign. I left off with a mission called “Domination” in which the newly re-mutated Kerrigan seeks to regather the Zerg swarm on the fiery world of Char. To do this, she must topple a brood mother holdout named Zagara that’s keeping a chunk of the swarm to herself. But as the mission started, and I was once again greeted with the task of building a base to topple Zagara and complete a variety of secondary missions, I decided I just couldn’t handle it anymore. Not one more time. So I quit.

‘Hotline Miami 2’ Is A Real Thing That’s Coming And I Want It
More senseless blood and gore? Oh yes. Oh… yes.
Hotline Miami was this close to being my game of the year of 2012 and so it brings me great joy that while the Dennaton guys were about to hop off to a new IP altogether, they’re actually bringing us a sequel that’ll take place in the 90210-themed nineties.
Amazon Purchases Goodreads, Deal To Close In Next Few Months
It makes sense, really.
In a move that makes absolute complete sense, so much so that I wonder why they didn’t a long time ago, Amazon has purchased book logger Goodreads, which will soon join the likes of IMDB and Box Office Mojo in their ever-growing “entertainment utility” properties.
Unreal Engine 4 Makes Next-Generation Graphics Look Real Good
Death has never looked so pretty.
It’s been two years since Epic unveiled Unreal Engine 4 and while it was classy, the demo indicated graphics that were still so many years away to matter. Well, with next-generation consoles due out later this year, Epic has ramped up their game (ha!) and brought us a massive presentation of their new Unreal tech.
‘Strip Search’ Recap: Season 1, Episode 9 “You Are Your Brand”
Scott Kurtz arrives to troll the crowd.
This week’s challenge involved a lot of brain power and not a lot of art, which seems like it’d lead to a tame episode. Fortunately for us, the variety of responses here as the contestants are challenged to build their brand over social media was interesting as PVP’s Scott Kurtz graded them.
Tax Day Blues? Be Thankful You’re Not Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg
Oh sure, he’s smiling now.
If you’re like me, you’ve already paid your taxes and the refund check has already made you cheer/amount due made you jeer. Honestly, most of us just have a W-2 and you can spend half an hour with a copy of TaxCut and be done. If you’re not like me, that means you’re probably rich and in the case of Mark Zuckerberg, you’ve probably got a team working for you. Why? Because the IRS is going to ask him for a billion dollars. Literally.
‘Your First Honest Cable Company’ Reminds Us Why We Love Our CableCo So Much
It’s so true!
Do you ever dream of having Google Fiber’s gigabit internet and being able to do anything on the internet at any time in whatever capacity you choose? Have you ever wondered why you’d settle for far less if it were just affordable and not a complete rip-off? Well, check out this short film and you’ll probably agree all the way down the line.
