Pride and Prejudice is actually a really funny book, but it takes a while to adapt to it when you're used to sci-fi/fantasy (in that the humor is all in really subtle character interactions). Adding ultraviolent zombies sounds like it would kill that (in that zombie situations tend to limit your emotional responses to Fear or Rambo--not much room for subtlety).

Anyhow....

ugh. I don't think there's much worse than this kind of abuse of power, and against kids, too. 87 months is far too short a sentence. These bastards should never see the light of day again.

Unrelated note: that flower trailer is really something.

.....Yeah, I pretty much agree.

Really? I thought Flower looked weak at best. It's Sonic/Nights with boring visuals.

Shale · « **Reply #207 on:** February 14, 2009, 03:11:19 AM »

Flower looks gorgeous, but there's nothing in the trailer that makes me want to actually play the game. Watch somebody else play it, maybe.

NotMiki · « **Reply #208 on:** February 14, 2009, 03:16:12 AM »

flower looks simple in a good way. may be wrong about that, of course, since there's not a clear indication of how gameplay goes, but simple and pretty sometimes turns out impressively.

WARNING: NSFW. Violence, language, and some nudity (IE, boobs for like, 5 seconds). So there, I warned you.

Trailer for a new movie coming out. It's basically a 70's blaxploitation film done today. And it looks AWESOME. I love these kind of cheesy movies.

"This is the story of 1970’s action legend Black Dynamite. When “The Man” murders his brother, pumps heroin into local orphanages, and floods the ghetto with adulterated malt liquor, Black Dynamite is the one hero willing to fight all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House."

That movie looks amazing. Not as amazing as The Dolemite Explosion would have been, though.

Name of the link says it all, really.

I love it when the genius of Zimbardo and Milgram gets spread around. They might be being put in a weird bin, but they were both geniuses with the best experiments ever done in the industry.

Needed waaaaayyyyyyy more B F Skinner though.

Edit - Not so much the link as the way it is presented over at Exile, because I love their work.

I seem to recall that Skinner made the mistake of telling people about his more bizarre experiments before he did them, preventing them from being carried out. Which is probably for the best really, although I suppose Nazi science experiments still taught us a lot so who knows.

Epically late, but I'd never seen it before:

I find it funny that this man pioneered a TV station to help relieve the bad views of Muslims after 9/11 that American's had/have.

Then he goes and beheads his wife. Not just murder her... BEHEADS her. Way to go bud... I think that's borderline IotD material.
