Hot: Hey folks, I’m not dead. Now that’s out of the way, on to the main event. I’m quite the fan of Henry Rollins, anything he’s in I’ll watch, any interview that’s out there I’ll look into – I really dig on him. I’ve seen his spoken word twice before, once in my native state [...]
Hot: Edited to remove imeem embed, since it only played 30 seconds. This poppy, energetic, tightly executed ditty grabbed me in the first few seconds the way few songs have in a while (since the Fleet Foxes’ White Winter Hymnal, I reckon). It’s a super catchy balance of techno precision and warm pop sensibilities, wrapped [...]
Hot: With crossovers being a major staple in the world of superheroes, you’d think that twisting together two separate universes wouldn’t be such a foreign koncept. Leave it to long-time game developer Midway to take an idea brimming with awesomeness and lead it down a path toward failure approaching epic proportions with their newest installment [...]
Hot: Well, perhaps not yet “born” yet, per se, but it’s definitely somewhere in its second trimester and we have gotten quite a clear ultrasound at this point of NETdevil’s high concept sci-fi space shooter MMOG, Jumpgate: Evolution. While the game is currently in a solid alpha-build stage, what we’ve been allowed to see thus [...]
Hot: I decided to check out change.gov to see what our President-elect Mr. Obama was up to now that the first big hurdle has been lept. While I was there, skimming the “Additional Issues” section to see what wasn’t a big enough deal to merit it’s own page, I noticed a banner inviting me to [...]
Hot: I suppose it goes without saying that I am, overall disappointed and disgusted in the United States media. However, the blatant negligence on one particular issue has me outraged: on Friday, September 26th a radical, anti-Islamic group in perpetrated a terrorist attack against more than 30 children at the Islamic Society of Greater Dayton, [...]
Hot: To this very day, I maintain that this is one of the most awesome songs I have ever heard. I like it well past its usefulness as a learning aid. As learning aids go, this has to be one of the catchiest things anyone ever came up with. Besides, who doesn’t freaking LOVE that [...]
Hot: So today has been re-affirmed as “Loyalty Day” by our current Commander in Chief. Well… okay, fine, whatever. It’s not as though we don’t already have a number of patriotic-themed holidays that we thoroughly ignore despite these types of reminders. What’s one more? The whole thing smacks of Orwellian doublespeak, to be sure, but [...]
Hot: kuro5hin.org posted a story yesterday that at first made me laugh, then made a minor amount of sense, then made me cluck my tongue in irritation with this country's rampant paranoia. TRON, as in battle bikes, everybody's glow in the dark, Master Control Program TRON – that TRON, has been cited as a “sensitive” [...]
Hot: Challenge: iPods are pretty famous for taking the liberty of wiping themselves out when you plug them into a computer other than the one you set it up on in the first place. It’s got a bad case of “are you my mommy?” that makes it hostile to other PCs but you really want [...]
