Having cameos is just a bad move. I think the 3D models look cheap and fake (uncanny valley?) when trying to emulate real people, but the characters of RB have a consistent style. Also: the Smashing Pumpkins' lead singer has a really horrible in-game model.

This video from the Sci Fi Channel explains why the Stargate creation is best left to the professionals. But honestly, this could very well be the funniest video promo I've ever seen — kudos on the sprinkler addition, it's a lovely touch. My jealousy runneth over. Obviously that's a hilarious commercial. Plus what a fantastic McKay cameo. Well done, sir. Since I promised you an actual homemade gate, I've added pictures and another video of ...

Recently, my Xbox headset broke since it is a cheap piece of plastic. Tonight, I took a knife and some tape to my over-the-ear headphones and inserted the microphone and speaker. Now, I have a fully-functioning headset with the bonus feature of game audio in the standard-quality headphones. This benefits me in several ways.1. I have my Rock Band microphone back.2. I can play RB without making a lot of noise (outside of my humming).3. ...

Yes, yes, we get it already: the Republican Prez/Veep ticket looks just like Colonel Tigh and President Roslin from Battlestar Galactica. In what is either a sign that BSG has achieved cultural critical mass or that at least one of the two Republican nominees to office is actually an alcoholic robot, the similarities between the two pairs seemed to be one of the most common commentaries about McCain's choice of Sarah Palin for Vice President ...
