I like to think I’m an okay gamer. I’ve been playing video games since the Atari 2600, so I can move fairly well within virtual worlds. I can Crippling Slash enemy monks in Guild Wars just as well as I can hoverboard with friendly girls in There.
Maybe that’s why my expectations of Google Lively might seem a little high. Given that games are bigger than movies, however, those expectations could soon become merely average. Read More

Once again, I’m so glad I don’t own an iPhone. As if to commemorate the great iPhone 2.0 activation snafu, Blendtec blends an iPhone 3G.

To borrow a phrase from Samuel L. Jackson, I have had it with these motherfucking snakes in this motherfucking ocean. That’s okay, though, because the Anaconda is a proposed 23-foot wide, 620-foot long generator that harnesses ocean waves to power a thousand homes. No big-ass rubber snakes in the ocean yet, but miniature versions in wave tanks are showing promise.
Yes, it looks like a giant robotic hentai rape tentacle. Get used to it, because you might see these long dongs floating across the ocean soon.
