Annie Lennox has given her master tracks to the Awesome DJ Earworm to mash up.

~swoon~

The best of both worlds! Here’s hoping that DJ Earworm does more than just the one song.

Here’s to hoping that Random has this up next week!

New STO screens are up at Kotaku, and…

Hrm…

While the ships are well rendered (and space itself is not), they are not even up to the standards of EVE Online, a six year old game. Even worse are the people….which sadly points to Cryptics rather craptacular level or art and rendering abilities. Cryptic is still doing art work at 2003 levels and does not even seem to desire to do anything better than LOTRO or AoC. To me it seems that their goal is to just do ever so slightly better than WoW and call it good.

Come on Cryptic, it is long past time to get over your unnatural obsession with poorly rendered cartoony toons and just try and make something worthy of running on a computer with more than just a single processor.

If you get a chance, start buying the new comic version of Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep?

The teaser was out last week (amazingly for SDCC) and yeah, gorgeous art work, and it is (as far as I remember from Jr High) following the book. Good stuff Maynard.

Les has the trailer for the Prisoner reboot…and…well….

Wow, it looks like they completely gutted all that made the original great. Though, the sad part is that it will come down to the ending, if they somehow manage to steer this mess to the original ending, or something equally as menacing (depending on your interpretation) , then they may be able to dig themselves out of the great big steaming heap of manure they have put themselves in. But, knowing how things seem to be going lately, have little faith in that happening.

But, so far I am not liking what I am seeing.

Granted, they do have some of the bits and pieces of the original, but the overall feel is….off…wrong…like watching any US remake of an English TV show, movie, book.

The US remakes that have sucked:

Coupling
The Office
Ultraviolet
Thuderbirds
Life on Mars
The Italian Job (while not sucking, it was a pale shadow of the original)

Now we can all look forward to what kind of ruination befalls UFO.

It’s funny cause it’s true…

Top 11 Things Overheard During the World of Warcraft Movie Screening

12. “Hello good sir, we have 20k gold in this theater, would you like to buy some?”
11. “This really captures the frustration of online play.”
10. “Man, I could be ganking Horde in The Barrens instead of watching this…”
9. “WTS Ticket for next showing.”
8. “This movie is only for raiders. I wish they would’ve put in more casual player content.”
7. “The shaman is way overpowered.”
6. “Do you think the characters will reach level 80 in the sequel?”
5. “I loved the cameo by Leroy Jenkins”
4. “Bruce Campbell is the Lich King?”
3. “What is this? 24 FPS? What are they running this on a 300Mhz Celeron with a TNT2 card?!?!!?”
2. “Goddammit! I can’t control my chara… oh.”
1. ” Did you see the video of the kid freaking out because his mom wouldn’t let him see the movie?”

Though, to be a real WoW movie, it needs to be in 733t sp33k.

n00b! needs to be shouted every minute or so.

Gold Farmer Spam needs to fashed across the screen every 10 minutes or so.

There needs to be farmers grinding whatever beasty our intrepid heroes plan too fight.

And lastly, there NEEDS to be Gnome Punting.

Tragic….

Before the murders started, Anthony Marquez’s mom dialed his sergeant at Fort Carson to warn that her son was poised to kill.

It was February 2006, and the 21-year-old soldier had not been the same since being wounded and coming home from Iraq eight months before. He had violent outbursts and thrashing nightmares. He was devouring pain pills and drinking too much. He always packed a gun.

Back home, 10 of its infantrymen have been arrested and accused of murder, attempted murder or manslaughter since 2006. Others have committed suicide, or tried to.

Almost all those soldiers were kids, too young to buy a beer, when they volunteered for one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Almost none had serious criminal backgrounds. Many were awarded medals for good conduct.

But in the vicious confusion of battle in Iraq and with no clear enemy, many said training went out the window. Slaughter became a part of life. Soldiers in body armor went back for round after round of battle that would have killed warriors a generation ago. Discipline deteriorated. Soldiers say the torture and killing of Iraqi civilians lurked in the ranks. And when these soldiers came home to Colorado Springs suffering the emotional wounds of combat, soldiers say, some were ignored, some were neglected, some were thrown away and some were punished.

Some kept killing — this time in Colorado Springs.

Many of those soldiers are now behind bars, but their troubles still reach well beyond the walls of their cells — and even beyond the Army. Their unit deployed again in May, this time to one of Afghanistan’s most dangerous regions, near Khyber Pass.

And it goes on from there…much worse, in part 2.

Science, is there nothing you can’t do to amuse me.

Researchers concluded that levels of sexual desire were higher in women who were moderate drinkers of red wine than in their counterparts who preferred other alcoholic drinks, or were teetotal.

One theory put forward by the team of Italian doctors who carried out the study is that chemical compounds found in red wine may improve sexual functioning by increasing blood flow to key areas of the body.

Well, Italian Doctors….say no more, nudge nudge, wink wink.

After many deaths due to Tasers, I am thinking hoping that this is the final staw:

Officer #3: Do you feel this?

Complainant: Yes, sir.

Officer #3: Do you feel that? That’s my -

Complainant: Okay

Officer #3: -Taser up your ass.

Complainant: Okay

Officer #3: So don’t move.

Complainant: I’m trying not to. I can’t breathe.

Officer #3 also threatened to use the Taser on the suspect’s genitalia.

Here’s more of the transcribed recording of the exchange between Officer #3 and the suspect:

Officer #3: Now do you feel this in your balls?

Complainant: I do, sir. I’m not going to move. I’m not gonna move.

Officer #3 Now I’m gonna tase your balls if you move again.

A minute later, this exchange occurred:

Officer #3: Okay, I’m gonna take this Taser out of your asshole now. Are you going to fight with me?

Complainant: No, not at all, sir.

Time to take the toys away from those that cannot obviously use them properly.

Seriously.

Via, of all places, Gizmodo, who has the audio (as does the paper).
