Internet Explorer Coming to an Xbox 360 Near You

Rumor has it that Microsoft is releasing a special version of Internet Explorer for the Xbox 360 as reported by the folks at The Verge. It would appear that this version of IE would be mostly controlled through the Kinect with gesture and voice commands. I will say that I personally think this is something the Xbox has really been lacking and if it’s true it will be another step forward in the Xbox’s complete entertainment dominance.  Source: The Verg...

Project M: Super Smash Bros Melee Revived for a New Generation

Super Smash Bros Melee.  Arguably one of  the best multiplayer games of the last two video game generations.  The customization that could be done with the game allowed it to run the gamut between "amazing party game to play with three buddies" and "fiercely competitive fighter".  Now I'll stop you purists right here - This isn't about IF Melee could be viewed as a competitive game and the huge rift created between people when they discuss it.  It's about a group of people that have collectively taken Super Smash Bros Brawl and combined the best parts of it and Melee into a splendidly nostalgic chimera of...

There are also provisions in place that protect users from wiretapping and disconnection. The net neutrality law prohibits Internet providers from interfering with the traffic of their users. The law allows for traffic management in case of congestion and for network security, as long as these measures serve the interests...

WWE Raw Wrapup - 5/7/2012

WWE Monday Night Raw - May 7th, 2012 We open another Monday night with Big Johnny.  He goes on a tirade about having undisputed authority and wounding John Cena's pride, but most importantly, he declares that nobody may mock his voice.  He shows pictures of his time as Johnny Ace in Japan, trying to gain credibility as an opponent for Cena in two weeks.  After telling us that Lauranaitis vs Cena will be bigger than Rock/Cena and Brock/Cena, CM Punk comes out to interrupt.  Punk tells the boss that he's bold, but he hasn't a clue about "people power".  Punk reminds Ace that the fans don't want to see him.  Punk...

Interview with Joe Kelly: The Man, The Myth, The Legend

I had a unique opportunity to pick the brain of an evil genius - an inmate just like the rest of us - Mr. Joe Kelly - commonly known for re-inventing Deadpool and writer for X-Men, Spiderman, Superman, Ben 10, I Kill Giants… the list goes on and on. This is a man of pure brilliance, captivating and friendly personality, and - not going to lie - great looks to boot. Then again, if my life centered around writing geeky things all day long, I’d probably look that good too! … Oh wait… I had to know what his take was on the Avengers movie. So many times we run into harsh critics when big title movies come out. So I asked. Joe Kelly: “I loved it....

WWE Smackdown Lowdown 5/3/2012

WWE Smackdown, May 3rd, 2012 So here we are between Extreme Rules and Over the Limit.  These are the time periods where we settle into what the programs will be moving forward, who opponents will be and how rematches will get handled.  John Lauranaitis has declared himself John Cena's next PPV opponent, but I think we all see this as a red herring.  We start Friday night's festivities with our World Heavyweight champion. Sheamus tells us all, a bit long-windily, that he loves to fight.  Yay stereotypes!  Sheamus proposes a question to himself - Will he fight Daniel Bryan, even though he almost ripped his arm out...
