Movie Review: Bad Teacher

Movie Review: Bad Teacher

I wish I had nice words to say about Bad Teacher. It seems like a cruel tradition around my birthday that I’m subjected to an awful Cameron Diaz vehicle, last year’s being the Tom Cruise-helmed Knight and Day. Okay, here’s the good thing about it: she plays a deceptively cruel middle school teacher whose maniacal schemes and backstabs are more clever than the movie itself. But really, who wants to see Diaz, who’s now just shy of convincingly hot, stomp around the film being an absolute jerk to everyone? Hopefully not you, definitely not me.

Penny Arcade: The Series – Season 2 Review

Penny Arcade: The Series – Season 2 Review

As you’ve probably already figured out, I’m a pretty big fan of Penny Arcade. One thing that I was always curious about, spurred by Mike and Jerry’s mishaps in their early years, was how a company based around a web comic about games could operate. They’d drop hints from time to time, but for the most part, the thing was a mystery. How did they run PAX with a staff of twelve? What about Child’s Play, their gamer-themed charity benefiting hospitalized children? With the first season of Penny Arcade: The Series, many of those questions were answered. So, what was left over for the second season?

After Ruining Amateur Photography, High Dynamic Range Seeks To Destroy Movies, Too

After Ruining Amateur Photography, High Dynamic Range Seeks To Destroy Movies, Too

With great power comes great responsibility. With the release of affordable DSLRs (aka, the fancy cameras with the complex lenses) came an ocean of new “photography studios” (if I could air quote any harder, my fingers would snap right off). While most are rubbish, it makes sense, really: if you own a camera that makes it difficult to screw up a photo and have the skill to purchase and install Photoshop, you can come up with some decent-looking photos. It’s not surprising then that these amateurs can also use the tools of the trade and their complete lack of artistic ability to completely destroy those images. The latest tool in their chest of abomination? High Dynamic Range. And with a recent development in off-the-shelf tech, AMP is bringing us horrible-looking HDR photography (like the murky, blown out shot of Tokyo above) to us in 1080p at 24 frames per second. I fear for the future of our species.

Eve Online Goes Bipedal With Incarna – Gameplay Video Included

Eve Online Goes Bipedal With Incarna – Gameplay Video Included

Ah, good old Eve Online. The sleeper hit MMO which came out years and years ago but is still rated in the top 5 of all MMORPG’s (World of Warcraft doesn’t even come close to Eve’s rating). This absolutely gorgeous game has flown under the radar for a very long time due, in large part, to the fact that you never got to see your character…At least not in his or her physical form.

That’s all changed, now.

Happy Birthday NICK!

Happy Birthday NICK!

That’s right kiddies, it’s Nick’s 27th birthday, today. Everyone make sure you wish him a happy birthday so when he wakes up in the morning, hung-over with 80 proof pee in his pants, he’ll have something to read to take his mind off the fact that he got so drunk he soiled himself.

Hopefully not in front of some hot blonde he wanted to score birthday nook from.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NICK!!!
