Really? Indeed! Partially.. Well let me explain: This morning i watched an episode of Mad Labs, a fun science program. Their theory is that if you take a bug like the grasshopper and compare it to a top gun , the response time of the grasshopper is much faster, this is needed for the grasshopper to fly in their huge formations (The largest grasshopper swarm (Locust) covered hundreds of square miles and contained billions of grasshoppers)  Funny enough the reason for this amazing response time is lack of intelligence: Say, we take a fighter pilot, and put him in a plane. As he is in the sky, we make a giant ball appear right in front of him, his brain is instantly going to process a whole lot of data: naturally it's going to send signals to avoid the ball, but also the pilot is going to think: "what the hell was that?, is that a ball?, where did it come from?" and so on. He's also gonna try to remember the special breathing technique that he's learned, to...

Blizzard is adding real money transactions to the Diablo III Auction House In World of Warcraft you can sell the rare items you find in the game, for virtual money on the games Auction House. Blizzards upcoming game Diablo III is going to feature the same kind of auction house, only, the transactions will be with real money. This is going to drastically increase the excitement of finding an extremely rare item drop. The auction house will be separated between regions, (for legal purposes) but the variety of items you can buy will still be massive. Blizzard said that they plan on making the auction house entirely player driven, allowing the marked to naturally grow. It's been predicted that the prices at first will be sky high due to the small amount competition but as more people quickly join the fun, it will balance out. When the "iPhone app store" first launched the prices were ridiculous, but over time the large number of products ...

Why is this series so awesome? Well first of all, it's got Zombies in it something that can only be matched by dragons and boobies. But what makes this series so much different from all the other zombie movies out there, isn't only the fact that it's a TV-Show something that isn't common for Zombie cinema. It's the way it's presented, usually when you watch a Zombie film it's filled with hordes of undead being slaughtered one by one by some dude with a machine gun. But in The Walking Dead  it's all about the setting, instead of the repeating violence they show you how these survivors are living and what horrors they are going through, don't get me wrong there is plenty of brain splattering action too. The show makes great for watching with a friend or two, when i saw episode one with my buddy, we were constantly commenting on the things happening in the episode, discussing what we would do in a situation like that, and how horrible it would be to ...

Notch knows a thing or two about horror With the adventure update, hopefully around the corner, yet another feature have been revealed. A few days ago notch posted this picture on his google + page The above photo with enhanced brightness So Notch was sitting doing some code for the NCP villages and got bored so he decided to create a new mob. These Endermen as they are called, are partly passive mobs, they will be walking around moving blocks, and acting creepy, but if you stare directly at them (crosshair on them) they will stare directly at you, and as soon as you look away they will charge at you with very high speed. If they are too far away they will teleport towards you. Very interesting idea i can't wait to try it out with all the other new features

The inevitable cut has to be made concerning a games graphics when it's being transferred from PC to consoles In game footage As we all know, Battlefield 3 is a beautiful game, and we have been told that it will also feature the biggest maps in any FPS to date. We have been promised 64 people battles on vast areas of warfare, alongside friends and foes. We have been promised, dynamic gameplay, huge physics based environmental destructions and most importantly, Jets. We will get all of this on October 28, and be we i mean PC gamers. Sadly with the evolution of hardware, consoles can't compete with PC's when it comes to raw power. For example: When Microsoft releases a new Xbox , it will be filled with some of the best hardware around, but seeing that it would be unwise to release a new Xbox every year, it will quickly be outdated by even better hardware. But don't worry Battlefield 3 for consoles will have almost all of the features mentioned...

Li Lin and Li Juan, two Chinese parents with a gaming addition way too extreme. The Chinese couple, who are both under 21, met at an internet café and have since continued to play video games such as World of Warcraft on different internet cafés. This has led to them being classified  video game addicts. It has now reached a level of seriousness so great that they have sold all three of their children to be able to fund this hazardous habit. At first they sold their second child, a girl for 500$, but when cash came short, they proceded to sell their first born child, a boy, for 4.600$ and later on when they had yet another kid sold him for 4.600$. Luckily the grandmother of the children turned them in. Yet they claim that they didn't know they were breaking any laws.
