Title: 'Dead Island' Platform reviewed on: Xbox 360 Developer: Techland Publisher: Deep Silver Release Date: September 6, 2011 It's a truism of post-apocalyptic zombie lore: Stay in a group, or your brain will be eaten. That same can be said when playing Techland's action-adventure role…
I did not know that this was a thing, but apparently this is a thing. The Riker Lean.
Title: 'Watch Dogs' Platform reviewed on: Playstation 4 Developer: Ubisoft Montreal Publisher: Ubisoft Release Date: May 27, 2014 If there's anything I've learned from two generations of open-world games, it's that they must do one of two things well to be successful: 1) establish a…
This is the most amazing Kickstarter project ever. No words are needed to describe the awesome. For more details, and to sign up for the (ALREADY FUNDED!) Kickstarter, check out the Bunch O Balloons campaign page here.
I'm a big fan of electronic music, so I thought I'd share with you this collection of the best drops ever. It is a very serious thing, these drops, and I am a very serious person. If those drops are too mega for you, perhaps…
It's a brutal, turn-based Rogue-like game with no save points and no mercy. I still haven't survived longer than a few hours before I die from a traumatic head wound or massive internal bleeding. Like some nightmare version of Groundhog's Day, I start over again…
If you haven't noticed, Summer is in full swing, and that means that the eternal struggle between the sexes over the A/C is also heating up. While not particularly a "tech" thing, I was curious if there was any science behind why women prefer the…
Adobe just recently released three weights of their new Source Serif Pro to the public under the SIL Open Font License, and I couldn't be happier. I am a self-avowed font nerd, and I'm super stoked to see that Adobe is continuing to add to…
My name is Dan I am teaching some journalism students some HTML/CSS at Eastern Washington University. Specifically, I'm embedding a tweet. Right here. Like below this. Can you see it? That's an embedded tweet. A rejected high five is one of the biggest insults there…

Hey everyone, this is really important: Avoid the internet for a while and change all your passwords to everything. This is not a joke. They discovered a bug in OpenSSL, which powers like 2/3 of the internet. It's really, really really bad. If you are…
Out of all the news coming out the the Ukraine, I bet this wasn't a story you were expecting. The Guardian is reporting that the Ukrainian Internet party (UIP) has put forth a new candidate for President. Darth "I am your father" Vader, Sith Lord.…
Facebook just bought Oculus VR. Millions of nerds just died a little inside. To illustrate my response to this news, I made a little graphic:
Players of the game EVE Online have the opportunity to have their character name permanently etched in stone. If you've never played EVE Online, just imagine the biggest, most in-depth space sim you can imagine. Then make it bigger. Then multiply that by the 10…
I got to drive a Tesla Model S P85 today, and it was awesome. It's a serious driving machine, and did I mention it was awesome?
I saw this on Wired and had to share it here. YouTube user NicksplosionFX compiled a video made up of every NES/Famicom start screen ever made. No big deal, right? It's 2 hours, 50 minutes and 12 seconds long. THAT's *kinda* a big deal. Can't…
Well slap my face and call me Sally. Yesterday I posted an article about ditching XP because Microsoft was ending all support, including antivirus support, for that old and aged behemoth. I'll just go ahead and assume that they read my article, because that very…
I'm sorry, that title is a bit misleading, but please continue reading. Because I'm a "computer guy," people always ask me about what anti-virus software to use, even though I'm avowedly a Mac user and haven't regularly used a PC in almost a decade. What's…
All of this discussion of drone photography in the paper reminded me with my close encounter with an unmanned aerial vehicle. Terrified I was, as you can see from the video below. Terrible!
Aren't we used to Hollywood churning out remakes of old movies? I suppose. But I will tell you this, there is no such thing as a bad Godzilla movie. Even the bad ones are great. And the first, the original? It is greatness defined. (Interestingly,…
Now that we have at least one brick-and-mortar establishment (the Volstead Act bar) in Spokane that accepts bitcoin as currency, it's probably a good time to explain what it is and how you use it. Short answer: Bitcoin is magic internet money that you use…
