brittania-: Hello. My name is Brittany. I’m a writer, I’m Canadian, and I am a TV-aholic. (Hi, Brittany) The above is an image of my personal (ten year grown) DVD collection. I know, right? And yet, I still find myself asking why I have nothing to watch - geekverse problems. Anyway. You’ll notice that the picture up there is mostly comprised of television shows, which is my main topic of...

Okay Tumblr, You Know What To Do
inothernews: evangotlib: I just donated $100 to Ken Aden’s campaign because of this. You know what to do. This is a sickening story.  And we can do something about it, Tumblr. Can we get a warning before linking to that story and that picture?  Once was enough yesterday.  Not that it isn’t worth knowing about or something to fight against but that image is horrid.  For those reading...

Heart of the Swarm 'trailer'
fridgezombies: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/media/videos/?view&keywords=heart-of-the-swarm#/heart-of-the-swarm-trailer Some of the actual CGI clips they throw in there are absolutely beautiful, typical of blizzard :)  Blizzard’s cinematic team is awesome.  I’m quite looking forward to this expansion and some of the new units / abilities look quite awesome.

stfuconservatives: (trigger warning for animal abuse, violence) think-progress: Last night, a Democratic campaign manager in Arkansas arrived home to find his child’s cat murdered, the word ‘LIBERAL’ written on the carcass.  This has literally left me seething with rage.  There aren’t even words to describe how wrong this is.  Do not go to that article if you cannot handle an image...

the-girl-detective-fails: “That’s really all this is. It’s people lending books. And you can’t look on that as a lost sale…. What you’re actually doing is advertising. You’re reaching more people. You’re raising awareness. And understanding that gave me a whole new idea of the shape of copyright and what the web was doing. Because the biggest thing the web was doing is allowing people to hear...

WatchWatch
shortformblog: In case you missed it: Chris Hayes’ roundtable on SOPA is a must-watch, as it directly tackles the major issues around the legislation and explains them in a very effective way, including honestly dealing with the issues his employer, NBC Universal, has with the legislation. (Richard Cotton, one of the major figures representing NBC Universal in the SOPA fight, is part of the...

blissandzen: That meme about how everybody has six names got me thinking again about something I’ve wondered for a long time. We all have a lot of personae, or faces we present to the world at various times, and no one seems to question it. My dad, as an example. He grew up the youngest of six kids, and to… Good post. This is always something I’ve thought even though I’m...

Slartibartfast: "The chances of finding out what's really going on in the Universe are so remote, the only thing to do is hang the sense of it and keep yourself occupied. Look at me, I design coastlines. I'd far rather be happy than right any day."
Arthur: "And are you?"
Slartibartfast: "No. That's where it all falls down, of course."

Scratches on paper.: Video Games are Art. →
/agree superpineapple: I was five when I got my first video game. I remember the sheer amazement I felt when I saw the advertisements for it on television. “Gotta catch em’ all! Pokemon Red and Blue version!!!” So many cool monsters to catch and train, and such a cool handheld devise to play on; I was in love. I remembered seeing ads for a TV show of a similar title, but  only the game held...
