Click here I always wondered why Sony went with symbols instead of letters for their controllers. I just assumed it was so their controller wouldn’t look like a rip off of the SNES and Genesis controllers. I think this was a bit of a mistake as letters are, IMO, more user friendly. I think it’s [...]

Click here. I sure hope Capcom’s new fighting game is a true sequel to the Street Fighter series. I will probably buy whatever next gen system it comes out on just so I can get that game. The Street Fighter series is probably my favorite series of games. The comics aren’t bad either. Just avoid [...]

From the ones that I’ve seen, Antitrust and Pirates of Silicon Valley are probably my favorites. Also the Matrix, naturally, but that one loses points for having two crappy sequels.

Click here A few of these videos have popped up on the Internets lately. They are short clips to hype up the release of Serenity to its fanbase (as if they needed any hyping.) They seem to be short clips set during River’s time in the Alliance’s “Special Program” for gifted students. I’ll post the [...]

Click here Nuts to the Lego Death Star, I want this! A lego model of a Firefly class transport ship, Serenity to be exact. Looking at sites like this helps to pass the time until Serenity is released on Sept. 30. Later Browncoats

Click here. One interesting thing is that the wired controllers will work as a PC controllers right out of the box. I’m assuming they’re USB. I wish Microsoft would make up their minds about HD-DVD. I don’t want to buy an Xbox 360 knowing that: a. Price drop is inevitable when PS3 is released b. [...]
