‘Defiance’ MMO Not Faring Well As Trion Worlds Unveils Low Gamer Turnout
Did you buy Defiance? Probably not.
When you think about it, six million hours of gameplay sure sounds like a lot of time. That’s the figure announced by Syfy and Trion Worlds in a joint press release (that I’ve included below) on how many gameplay hours had been invested into Defiance, the game half of the multimedia hybrid that’s also a show on the aforementioned network, but when you break it down, it doesn’t really seem like much.

‘Strip Search’ Recap: Season 1, Episode 14 “Game On”
Amy’s playing Miss Reality Show in this episode.
After last week’s big WTF?! moment, watching the contestants react to Lexxy strut back to the house was truly something else. Interestingly enough, we see the first real attempt by the series to show off any drama when the stakes have been pretty low so far.

New ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Trailer Reveals Somber Kirk, Super Enterprise
What a big, uh, ship you have.
Guys, we’re getting really close to the release of that Star Trek movie, so it makes sense that the release content is hitting a fevered pitch. Building on the last trailer, we’re really starting to see the story come together, piece by piece, before our eyes and that makes me so much happier than the debut tease.

I want one yesterday, but what’s inside?
As the first Google Glass Explorer kits are making their way out to new owners everywhere, the mini-computer’s specs are also finding their way out into the open, in part falling in line with what we expected from such a small device, but in part delivering on some unknowns about the device.

New ‘Gears Of War’, ‘God Of War’ Sequels Sell Poorly, Highlight Lame Duck Year In Console Gaming
‘Judgment’ just wasn’t enough.
According to Cowen & Company, the latest installments of Microsoft and Sony’s biggest franchises failed to impress. Selling less than a quarter and a third of their last games respectively, Gears of War Judgment and God of War: Ascension seem to highlight a low-ball commitment from the two platform holders to their current generation of consoles as new consoles loom over the holiday end of the calendar-something they must’ve learned from Nintendo.

Windows 8 To Go Back In Time, Add Start Menu And Desktop Launch? Really?
The future, mysterious…
Word coming across the intertubes today is that with Microsoft’s new Windows 8.1/Blue upgrade, some options can be toggled to revert the OS to a more primordial form. This despite all the headway Microsoft had to make bringing Windows 8’s “OS on top of an OS” aesthetic to life and communicating it to the customer.

The Boston Marathon Bombing: My $0.02
The exact moment of the first explosion
N has already touched on the bombings in Boston today and the cries of “false flag” from the idiotic anti-government conspiracy nuts-who are much higher up the list of suspects than the government is, in my opinion-who immediately blame the government every time something goes awry. I learned about the bombings in Boston right around the same time he did and I’ve been reading and watching video about the situation ever since.
As you would expect, I have something to say.

Kmart Will Have You Shipping Your Pants When You See Their Ad, Too
They are both shipping their pants at this very moment.
Don’t you remember Kmart, the happy-go-lucky department store with the Icees and the exclusive Martha Stewart houseware? Long before Walmart sprung up around my neighborhood, we were in that store at least once a week. They’ve seen better days as their store count shrinks, but it’s this little heap of sunshine that reminds us of that scrappy underdog that’s still… around.

Oh, Wow: People Seriously Believe The Boston Marathon Bombing Was A Government Job
The marathon is going to be a lot different going forward.
We’re not even hours into the wake of the terrible events at today’s Boston Marathon and we’re already being redirected to a political debate of the most absurd proportions. Because some possess this terribly dark side of their souls, they’re framing the tragedy as a ‘False Flag’: a shoehorn for the government to institute Martial law. I cannot possibly express in words how insulting and moronic this notion is.
