Dollhouse Canceled; What’s Next for Joss?
FOX has just announced that the Joss Whedon series Dollhouse has gotten the mid-season axe. Though the show has received mixed reviews, it has a pretty devoted fan following, and I was rather fond of it myself. The real tragedy is that it was just getting good – or rather, it started getting really good […]
Microsoft to Xbox modders: See ya!
Microsoft has banned owners of modified Xbox 360s from its online gaming service Live. The precise numbers haven’t been revealed but estimates put it between 600,000 and a million.

British politicians engage in modern warfare
Two British politicians – both from the governing party – have clashed over the newly released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Half of this story comes as no surprise. With the game inevitably (and almost certainly intentionally) attracting controversy over an optional scene where the player must pose as a terrorist during an airport […]

EDIT: Please note that Modern Warfare 3 is now available for preorder on Amazon.com!!! With Modern Warfare 2 barely out on the market, developers are already putting the finishing touches on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which they say will be the most realistic military game ever created. Onion news reporter Jeff Tate has […]
Drinking Liquid Nitrogen
Please do not try this at home. Repeat: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Even though that scientist appears to be drinking liquid nitrogen, it seems that all he’s doing is swallowing the condensed vapor, blowing it out through his mouth and nostrils. In any case, this strikes me as a very bad idea. Oh, […]
