Watchmen Characters Revealed »

Today is exactly one year until the movie Watchmen is released, and now they’ve released a group of images of what many of the main characters look like.  Head over to the Watchmen site to see all of the glorious full-size shots.
I have to say that I think these are perfect, especially the Comedian (pictured), […]

Of Martians and JJ Abrams »

One day, a week or two ago, I came across this story about images sent back from the Mars Spirit Rover.  What you see to the right is a small version of a panorama taken at a crater on Mars from this mission, and you can see a super high quality version at Nasa’s site […]

“TETSUO!” “TITANIC!” »

Did not see that one coming…
Leonardo DiCaprio is set to produce a live-action version of anime classic Akira.
Technology may have finally caught up to the point where doing live-action Akira is more feasible than it once was. But how faithful will it be to the original? Who will direct? Will DiCaprio take a role in […]

Who knew one giant gorilla could cause so many problems?
The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is a documentary that primarily follows the story of Steve Wiebe, a laid-off family man who sees the world record in Donkey Kong and decides that he can beat it with the arcade machine sitting in his garage. […]

Inq. of the Week: Blub Blub Blub? »

Though they may not be able to survive in-game, Bards received the most votes for being able to survive into the next edition. I voted for them, but I have to say I’m quite surprised. Druids and Monks were right there too, which probably means that all three of these classes have a unique flavor […]

Movie Review: Cloverfield »

Possibly the best way to start this review is to say: go see this movie. Cloverfield is produced by J.J. Abrams of Lost and Alias fame, and also the director of the upcoming new Star Trek movie. The inspiration for Cloverfield is that America has never really had an equivalent to a Godzilla-style […]
