‘Fast & Furious 6’ Review: Not Quite Fast Enough
Until I sat down to watch Fast & Furious 6 recently, I had never watched any of the previous five movies in the franchise from beginning to end. Obviously the series has come a long way in the past decade, because I was under the impression these movies were supposed be about illegal street races. Fast & Furious 6, however, features an A-team of world renowned thieves teaming up with federal agents to take down a gang of international terrorists. Cars are also involved.

FEZ PRO SHO: Week #20, 2013 – Nintendo, TV Shows, Comedians
Sorry guys, no video this week!
Because N’s laptop decided to die this past week, he spent day after day watching renders fail. So, sadly, no video output for the past week! Instead, you can hear the four of us talk about Nintendo’s future, TV shows that have been canceled (or not canceled!) and why female comedians aren’t funny.

Microsoft Wants To Sell 100M Xbox 360s Before Closing Up Shop, But How?
This, but, like, cheaper. Or smaller.
While 77.5M units sold the Xbox 360 won’t be considered PlayStation successful (at least, their first two consoles), but it’ll simply have to do for Microsoft’s second console, one that lost its early lead to the Wii and later, the PlayStation 3. Microsoft has said that they’ll sell 25 million consoles in the next five years to reach that goal and plan to kick off their effort with a big announcement at E3 to come. But as current-gen sales cool off, how could they possibly attain this? I’ll tell you.

Google Stops Payments To Argentinian Android Developers Indefinitely
Uh, too bad.
Even if you’re a struggling app developer on Android, you can thank your lucky stars you’re not one in Argentina. Google has just informed all developers there that they’re going to cease all customer payments to the store on June 27th. For those who think they can simply release a free app with IAPs (in-app purchases), think again because those are out the window, too. But you can still give away your app. That’s no big deal.

China Will Build World’s Tallest Building In 90 Days Using Pre-Fab Tech. Scary.
…and watch as it falls right over.
Skyscrapers. Impressive structures that technology and untold wealth have turned into icons of architecture. Whether One World Trade Center, Taipei 101 or Burj Khalifa, we just love the darn goofy things and the idea that we can build them higher and higher without much practical reasoning. China’s Broad Group wants to build the world’s tallest inhabited structure using little more than its pre-fabricated modules to pave the way, calling it Sky City. Does that sound scary to anyone else?

The New Google Maps: Hands-On With The Dramatically New Service
Y HELO THAR MOON
It only took a week after Google’s I/O conference to get our invite to try the new Google Maps. Maps has been a regular go-to for over a decade now, besting Mapquest’s directive abilities long ago, and has only gotten stronger since with the acquisition of Keyhole (Earth) and Street View, the you-are-there feature that launched thousands of shutterbug cars and almost as many privacy lawsuits. Well, Google’s made it even better by integrating many of these features into one sleek-looking package. So how does it work (and what are parts that don’t work quite as well? Let’s dive in.

HTC One With Stock Android To Be Best Phone Ever Made?
HTC is in an even bigger pickle than before, but don’t let Sense ruin a good phone.
Rumors abound! While HTC is, apparently, dissolving at its very core with their Facebook phone a non-starter and their flagship One device being vastly overwhelmed by Samsung’s Galaxy S4. The thing is, people really like the HTC One, but what if it ran stock Android and what if you could buy it?
