I was born on a Tuesday.
Well, only six episodes to go. Some of my theories have been dramatically disproven, others are still flopping on the table, awaiting further evidence. It’s been a pretty good ride so far… but there have been almost as many questions as answers, and we have a scant six episodes left. I hope the Lost team can write… Read More
Ladies and Gentlemen, today is a grand day. Today, no pie is safe. The humbug Winterbottom has been loosed on the cobbled streets Live Arcade.
It’s a proud moment for me… ever since I turned ten and got my first NES and a copy of Mario 3, I’ve dreamed about making a console game. I almost… Read More
Sometime last week, as I was rewatching bits and pieces of Season 5, that feeling came back. It’s a sensation that took me back in 2004, when the hatch was closed, the Island was new, and Hurley was just a chubby stranger with a golf fetish. A message wafted through the air waves, repeating the same message over… Read More
There’s a special place in Heaven* for actors who have the guts to play themselves. To look that deeply into your own navel and actually come out with something interesting and/or hilarious is a rare gift.
Here’s my list of ten (or thirteen) souls have pulled it off in style.
Come with me, friends, to another time. Let’s say 1998ish. Ross and Rachel rule the airwaves, ER is hailed as the Best Drama Evar. As the sun sets on Seinfeld, critics mourn its passing, proclaiming that we’re not likely to see a show of its brilliance ever again.
I watched an episode of Seinfeld yesterday. It’s still… Read More
I know we at Popten have a rep for hating on science. But this little theory, perched firmly on the the border between sci and sci-fi, is too awesome to pass up.
If you are a meganerd like me, and the term Large Hadron Collider means something to you, head straight to this article on
We live in interesting times.
Maybe we’re trying to show India who’s boss. Maybe we’re just angry.
Either way,
tonight at, 10/9/09 at 4:30 AM pacific, we are going to bomb the moon to see if there’s water in the fallout. Why weren’t we told earlier? Why isn’t this a national holiday?
Allow me to Infomercial you for a second.
Isn’t Gaming a Hassle? Turning on your television, picking up your controller, turning on your console, waiting for a game to load, turning it off when you’re done.
It’s a short-attention span world. We all want distractions, and the easier the better. That’s why there are web games. Little… Read More
South Africans decided to pit a carrier pigeon against their broadband service. Guess who won?
Full story here.
Thanks to Belinda, our international correspondent, for the scoop.
The moon landing. The assassination of JFK. The Challenger. The Berlin Wall. 9/11.
Big. Fucking. Deal.
I was on Facebook, updating my status. I heard about it via Twitter, and quickly started looking for #gmailfail. At first I couldn’t believe it, but a quick google search confirmed my suspicions. Gmail was down. And according… Read More
Tomorrow marks 100 days since the BP oil spill in the gulf. I know they “successfully” capped it, but as long as that sucker is still leaking, I’m saying there is still an oil spill. But this disaster got me thinking a lot about the good old days of folk – when popular music regularly included anthems… Read More
When I was in my formative high school days, going to the Warped Tour was a highlight of the summer. Just old enough to drive, we’d pile about 9 bros and skateboards into mom-duke’s Ford Exploder and drive at high speed to Fitchburg or some other pseudo-municipality in middle Massachusetts, blasting Rage Against The Machine and… Read More
