 I just saw a headline: "See How L.A. Noire Does Justice to the Faces of Real TV Stars"
Really? REAL TV stars? The true gods among us? Oh, be still my inferior medium's heart!! I've NEVER worked on a game that couldn't be made better (or be fixed) by adding REAL TV STARS!!!
In fact, let's just admit right now that the film/TV medium is the pinnacle of Art, and interactive entertainment is just a tiny boil upon its side. The reason games suck is they don't have the steady hand of Hollywood to guide them, and when a superhuman creator of film deigns to dabble in video game production, only good things can result.

Boingboing.net has a VERY cool video about a video which shows a Lego replica of the Antikythera Mechanism: http://www.boingboing.net/2010/12/09/how-the-antikythera.html
What's the Antikythera Mechanism? Only one of the coolest real-life Ancient Mysteries of the Unknown Strangeness! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism

When I was 16, I had a vision of a game, where my friends' Commodore64s and mine were networked by wire, and we could play together as a spaceship crew. Just like Star Trek, each player would have a workstation, except for the captain, who would have a big chair in the middle, right in front of the big screen.
That idea has stayed with me all these years, and suddenly about 4 weeks ago my muse grabbed me by the collar and said, "Make it. Now." So I'm doing so.

I want to play the Scott Pilgrim downloadable game today. It's available for only $10 as a digital download from the Playstation store. Since I've previously used my credit card to buy PS3 downloadable games, I expected no trouble. But I got some.
I fired up my PS3, logged onto the store, selected my purchase, and agreed to add money to my "wallet". BUT no go. The screen tells me my credit card can't be processed.
This isn't so crazy; the card I used is...
