Full Throttle Remembered (4) share digg
by John Walker (49) on Rock, Paper, Shotgun (177) 3 days ago permalink
I would like to publically declare my love for Full Throttle. Something very strange happened with history and opinion on that game - it was well received by critics, it was completely fantastic, it was Tim Schafer’s most mature writing (three years before Grim Fandango). And then somehow it became the black sheep of LucasArts’ output, condemned by false memories of being too short, and having awful arcade sequences throughout. Which just isn’t true! Certainly ...

The end of summer vacation season is a good time to take up the hunt for a new, better job, as hiring managers can look at firm schedules and determine what shortfalls need filling. Today and through the rest of this week, we'll be taking a look at tips for finding, interviewing for, negotiating over, and succeeding in a new gig. First off is making inconvenient, low-tech job listing sites—the kind without RSS feeds, email ...

45 Beautiful Motion Blur Photos (199) share digg

By Vailancio Rodrigues and Smashing Editorial Team Photos taken with a camera do not represent a single moment of time. Due to technological constraints these shots stand for some secne over a brief period of time. This time frame depends on the camera’s shutter speed. In motion blur, any object moving with respect to the camera will look blurred or smeared along the direction of relative motion. Motion blur is frequently used to show a ...

Mediocre 6 Piece Luggage Set - $39.99 (1) share digg

Paris! Tahiti! Rio de Janeiro! These are some of the exciting destinations Americans aren’t visiting anymore, because we’re all broke. Forget jet-setting to exotic locales around the globe – nowadays, we’re lucky if we can keep the tank full all the way to the nearest Six Flags. With a sigh of resignation, Americans across America are throwing up their hands and seeking out the delights to be found closer to home, from Pascagoula to Parsippany. ...

2,396 Bikes Stolen and Saved for ... the Apocalypse [w/Pics] (3) share digg

So what does one do with thousands of bicycles? Igor Kenk’s bizarre and record-setting collection has sparked myriad theories, ranging from the obvious: that he was planning to resell them all eventually in his used bicycle shop, to the eccentric: that he was saving them to sell as scrap metal or storing them for the upcoming energy apocalypse.

Is the Earth Quarantined??? [Conspiracy Theory] (48) share digg
by Annalee Newitz (1107) on io9 (4031) 1 week ago permalink
Why haven't we met aliens yet? And why aren't we sending rockets all over the solar system? There is only one plausible explanation. Earth is being quarantined! A combination of higher alien civilizations and our own Earth-based military forces are working together to keep the Earth contained and neutralized. The reasons why they would do this are obvious, but where is the evidence? Below, we've got enough true facts to get your conspiracy engines revved ...

A History of Atari — the Golden Years (5) share digg

Our beloved Transformers: Generation 1 was not without fault. In fact, each iteration of the titular "Robots in Disguise" has seen its share of missteps: The Transformers universe has managed to throw us some unapologetic curves, some wholly ill-conceived characters.
