AJ, when were you at GenCon last? My fiancee works there. :)

But still, my point holds: those kinds of vids are everywhere there because that's the kind of thing that sells to an American market.

Unfortunately. :-?

Japanese-style comic book. It started out as a web-comic which you can still read here: www.megatokyo.com , whenever he "feels like" putting up the rest of the story :roll:. That's where the phrase "3v1l l337" first came from. :) For any gamers/geeks/anime-niacs, it's a great read. **EDIT** The arch...

Interesting photographs... Tho I'd hesitate to think that the carnage they portray was anything except necessary.

And if it hadn't been for the Soviet Union, the nuclear arms propigation wouldn't be *nearly* as progressed as it is today.

Buzz? Naw, more like lynch-mobbing. Look, if someone likes his movies, that's great. However, it's pretty obvious that those who do not are the ones who like a self-consistent movie. Sixth Sense was just that - and it was, for a moment at least, quite brilliant. Signs was horribly not so. Something ...

M. Night Shyamalan's Secret...

So, is he a really secretive, mysterious director... or just a hype-hungry young kid trying to get his movie to sell? I'm watching this "documentary" called "The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan." It looks too Blair Witch-ish to really be believed, I think, but I'd still like to know: if anyone s...
