  • WOOW!
    I didn't know that exploding stuff looks so cool!

    Have you seen exploding balloon in slow motion on You Tube? Take a look at it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjcrSGzQgpw

    Pretty impressive.

  • Thank you SouthPaw42!

    certainly cool games, will look at them closer.

    Alan Wake graphics rock!

  • Spore has been canceled, and Halo 3 will not be coming to PC for at least 3 years. You need to do a bit more research next time you do an article.
    Read more

  • Spore has been postponed until fiscal year 09, but that is rumor, though strong rumor… and Halo 3 is an Xbox 360 game, which I made perfectly clear in the article… I don't care if it is coming to the PC, that's not what interests people… it's coming to the 360 this September, and that is what I reported…

  • Games look excellent, you should also check out The Force: Unleashed

    I know the bad rap Star Wars games tend to get, and Im not usually a fan myself, but after watching the previs vids, I have to say, this looks like a damned cool game. The enemy AI is the most advanced I've ever seen, the moves and force powers look like so much evil fun, and the story could actually be engaging. Also, check out the video on the world itself, seems the design team have broken a barrier in regard to realism in material design, i mean the wood actually breaks like wood

  • thank you... gotta check this out

  • I will have a copy of spore the moment it comes out. Do not tell me that it has been cancelled! I will break into Will Wright's home and steal his copy if I must. I shall have the game.

    BTW, anybody see the video of Robin Williams on YouTube playing the game?

  • I liked Crysis, its fantastic mission game with extreme graphics. I like mission games with good team work, also I like challenges for brain in different typical conditions, which I found in this phenomenal video game.

  • I have to commend you on this photo collection. You do a wonderful job of posting some incredible photo collections from so many different areas of interest. But these of the shuttle, crew, and international space station were excellent. I always love looking at pictures in space. The shot from above the shuttle cockpit looking down on the mountainous terrain on Earth was awesome. Thanks again for running such an enjoyable blog.

  • Hi,
    I actually took the second pic - the green and yellow wires connecting two cabinets.

    The pic was taken sometime around 2001 and shows the connections between two floors in the building where I worked, very surprised to see it on the blog as I only emailed it to a few people years ago :D

    another view, from the side: http://pics.spiny.co.uk/dialers/cables.jpg

  • - How do Mantid's Mate and Reproduce? In most cases female eats the male.
    (which serves as a source of protein for the female and her young)


    Even though the notion that the female always eats her mate has long since been disproved, the legend of the always-deadly female persists.
