Mothernature isn’t fucking around. If you have any reservations about the truth that robo-lions will one day rip us from our bunks and eat our souls (the nature-cyborg pairing will be tremendous), then just read this story.

EVE Online is home to some dastardly espionage. Real-life ninja spy corporation exploitation shit. The latest in-game wunder is a ponzi scheme that netted the scammers 1 billion ISK. So what? That shit can be exchanged for $50,000 in United States paper things.

Good lord.

This shit is out of control. Welcome to the fucking future. Word Lens is an app for an iPhone which translates languages in real time. Somehow, the world just got a little bit smaller. And more awesome. How fucking ridiculous is this? Goddamn, I love the time period I live in.

Hit the jump for a video of it in action.

I absolutely love the Fallout: New Vegas wiki. ‘Cause yes, despite my griping, I’m totally into the video game. I don’t contribute anything to it, but I’m ecstatic that every time I have a question about a quest or a location, I can hit up the site and it’ll do my bidding. I’ve always been amazed at how fucking dedicate the people updating it are. Now I know specifically how god damn insane these fellow wastelanders’ work ethic happens to be. In the first week of the game’s release, there were 475,000 man-hours logged on the FNV wiki.

Jesus Christ.

Destructoid:

According to the magic of traffic-measurement tools, it seems that the unofficial Fallout: New Vegas wiki logged over 475,000 man-hours work within less than a week of the game’s release. Traffic spikes hit Wikia’s servers harder than a ground zero detonation, registering some 2.5 million visitors over that period – seven times the normal amount for the network. Fans created and edited hundreds upon hundreds of pages of information full of everything from quest walkthroughs and item locations to obscure trivia and bug reports.

Kudos, you hard working dorks! Now get back to slaving away on it, I have questions. That need answers. Now!
