Pretty accurate assessment of how the first movie was good, and the others weren't.

Creepy and panicky. Also, John Lithgow? I guess I'd have to see the whole movie to understand.

I love wacky outdated wartime laws.

I don't know how far the racist element goes, but it has to be a factor on top of everything else.

They must have known that they would be caught, right? Also amusing that Phil Schiller tweeted about it.

Sad and fascinating, like that flower that looks like an extinct bee.

I definitely take the First for granted. It surprises me sometimes how much more restricted speech is in Britain. This documents The Guardian's editor's struggles with the incredibly important Snowden documents.

Beautifully designed, great points. I don't know what happened to Lucas, but I suppose a big part of it was merchandising.

Huh. I had no idea we were talking about this as early as 1937.

I won't deny the temptation of technocracy in Nicktopia.

Pumpkins!

Visiting the Sagrada Familia was the highlight of my Europe trip in 2001. Cool animation of it being finished.

Amazing tools, and a huge step in moving the problem from hardware (expensive, small market) to software (cheap, reaches a much larger market).

I don't want to admit how much clicking I've done.

Basically, no one is reporting this story accurately; they make it sound like the same old left/right false equivalence.

These four rules sound pretty good, but I think there are some nostalgia lenses involved.

I misunderstood the original design, thinking the pads we're stick replacements, instead of being configurable as the typical button layout. Would be fun to try one.

Those EVE ones get large. A good reminder how relatively small ships in Star Trek are.

Memories!

Cool trivia. People moving around changes things in interesting ways.

Why must the gaming community be continually awful to women?

Let's abolish the debt ceiling. That will solve his problem.

Classic piece. Surprised I didn't mark this earlier.

The comments are what you expect.

Yet another example of the advantages of vertical integration, I suppose.

So many fond memories of this game and its sequels. I think this makes some good points about trends in gaming, but I think the author misses some of what's going on in the indie community, stuff that I've seen at the PAX Indie MegaBooth, for example.

I remember some of these references in the show, but missed others.

Very cool use of projection mapping to create the illusion of dancing three-dimensional objects.
