‘STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC’ goes free-to-play. All shall bow.
Star Wars: The Old Republic cost $33 zillion dollars to make. It didn’t make that back. Now it is going free-to-play up until level 50, and Blizzard is once again sucking the marrow out of the bones of a fallen competition.

Cyeah! Here’s the full trailer for Skyfall. It’s got everything you’d expect from Bond. Senseless violence. Senseless seduction. Him trapped to a chair while a villain monologues.

[Interview] Jordie Bellaire – Color Your World!
At its core, the comic book medium can be thought of as the combining of words and images so as to produce a cohesive narrative.

Marc Webb’s return to direct second ‘SPIDER-MAN’ is a tangled web. Get it? Web?
I dug Marc Webb’s riff on Spider-Man, even if the storyline was a cavalcade of mess, wrapped in an entirely gutted plot point. I’d love to see the dude return, and it turns out so would Sony. Shit is just a bit complicated.
Ain’t it always?

SATURN’S MOON IAPETUS got itself some pretty gnarly avalanches.
You think you’re surfing the gnarly waves of crystallized water stuff here on Erf, brah? Think again. Saturn’s moon Iapetus is where all the legitimate skier people are going. We’re talking avalanches like a mofuckah.’
