A wise man once asked, “They can put a man on the moon, but they can’t make killer robot police?” Actually, I think it was The Onion. Regardless, the answer to the question question has come to haunt the residents of a downtown Atlanta neighborhood. As ABCNews.com reports, Rufus Terrill, 57, owner of O’Terrill’s pub, has been using a “300-pound, waist-high robot, marked ‘SECURITY’” to guard his business against loiterers, the homeless and thieves.

Last weekend I met a girl. She is beautiful and funny – we exchanged numbers, and things were looking good.Then at the end of the night as I was falling asleep, my phone chirped to inform me of a new text, from my new girl, “Great 2 meet u.”

Damn. And she had so much potential.

I know, I know, it is a sweet thing to say, but my problem is not with what she said, it’s how. I am the first to admit that I being extremely judgmental, but as an English major and someone who thoroughly enjoys words, I really hate to see them butchered. Read More »

Contrary to popular belief, single unlaid men have plenty of options to score with women. Problem is, they almost all exist online.

Everybody and their mother knows that Wii loves mothers (families in general, but they love moms a lot), from the perpetually PG vibes of their first-party games, to the undercurrent of low quality kiddie titles that would weigh down their entire library if anyone ever took notice.

While I’m in the camp that thinks Nintendo needs a little roughing up — Medal of Honor and other sloppy ports just won’t do — a Pole Dancing Wii game may not be the bridge they’re looking for, either.

From Tech Digest:

“Currently seeking a partner to help license their concept, Peekaboo Pole Dancing has sent out an email announcing their idea for a Wii game that’d have you ’shake your booty’ and ’spin your thing’.

Little else is said about the project, only that it’s a concept, and ‘A-list celebs’ like Carmen Electra, Kylie Minogue, the Spice Girls and Pussycat Dolls are already fans of the company, who currently sell portable dance poles.”

THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Still, it’s a fun thought, Nintendo endorsing a pole dancing title featuring the world’s most famous tramps. The mind boggles at the Wiimote’s possibilities.
