I wanted to pick up a pair of their previous ear-forces, and found out that not only do I have to be plugged into the controller, but to my receiver as well. With the wife and dog always walking in front of the T.V., that doesn't work for me.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on WALL-E Gets Arabic Localization, A Middle East First [Updated]]]> It just goes to show how much my brain has been conditioned, but when reading the press release, I read "territories" as "terrorists."

Stupid brain, stop making horrible generalizations!

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Five Superhero Movies We're Glad Didn't Get Made]]> @braak: That is one of, if not THE, worst movie of all time. With such a huge stinking pile of crapcakes, you can't just pull out one little piece and point out how bad it was.

That movie had such potential, and every aspect of it sucked.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Hey Commenters, Can We Have A Talk ?]]> @LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: Wisdom? From a guy with a Buick? LeSabre?!?!

Ah, who am I kidding, he is the best Backwards Bolivian Ping Pong partner this guy has ever had.

Oh, and just as a show of support for you and Carmen, sure you may have gotten a bit off occasionally, but we all have. And I have appreciated the turn away from the Myspacedness that was occurring in the very beginning. Keep up the good work!

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Two Musicals For The Price Of One With New Whedon Movie]]> I may be the only one, but I would like to pay to have no-one, anywhere, ever again, produce a musical.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Power Tool Drag Racing is Our Kind of Non-Sport]]> @DRW-E: I couldn't concentrate on the onscreen action as the soundtrack was forcefully having its way with my ear canal.

I don't know what I was expecting, but that wasn't it. I guess I was imagining setting two circular saws on a big piece of plywood, and seeing which one could cut its way to the end the fastest.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on World's Greatest Astronomical Detective Strikes Again!]]> I have determined, by looking at the style and substance of the design of the table, that "Dogs Playing Poker" was inspired by the backroom location of Ye Olde Bar and Grille in Omaha, NE, at approximately 11:29pm, July 7th, 1974.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Top Gun Theme Free on Guitar Hero III]]> Why all the "Theme" hate? This song is much more iconic than Danger Zone. Yeah, the Loggins song was great, but this is much more inspiring as a theme song.

I put it on par with "Main Title" from Last of the Mohicans and "Axel F" from Beverly Hills Cop as songs that perfectly invoke the tone of the movie. Now, if only there were Orchestra Hero, and Synth Hero, we could enjoy those songs as well.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Our Picks To Play Del Toro's Frankenstein]]> @Log1c: Brilliant choice, my good man.

My choice? Gheorghe Muresan ! [www.imdb.com] He already has the acting chops, and to my eye, looks like a monster.

p.s. kidding about the acting chops.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Hey Commenters, Can We Have A Talk ?]]> So there I was, flickering incandescent bulbs overhead, the slight thrum of a leaky faucet in the hotel room sink, and me, balls deep....

Hey wait, has anyone seen the topic? I seem to have lost it. Oh yeah, shiny gadgets. They are neat!

Reading that made my ass twitch.

Kidding about the not liking you thing, but that is some weird shit!

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Lego]]> @Vonn64: An equal ratio to phones, mp3 players, and teledildonics. Its one of the things that many Giz readers like, so they give us what we want.

Stupid Giz! Stop giving me news on the things I crave!

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Secret Planet Killer: High-Tech Japanese Toilets]]> Maybe its just me, but I DON'T like a warm toilet seat. It makes me think that someone else's ass was just there warming it up, and unless Jessica Alba just walked out of the Loo before me, give me a room temperature ass holder, thanks.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Video of the NYC Waterfalls in Action]]> I don't care what the rest of you say, I like it. I may not be as pompous as the guy in grspec post, but I do think that the idea of such a large amount of water flowing out of a scaffolding, back into a river, is kinda cool.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Bruce Wayne's Backstory, Dateline-Style]]> Nice Joker reference at the end of the "Broadcast."

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on A Night With Bill Gates' New Big Hairy Vision]]> @Brian Lam: you had me at "Aw shit."

Great men are often polarizing, and their "pop culture persona" takes on Caricaturistic proportions. Sure his company has Borg-like assimilation tendancies. Sure, there is probably some truth behind is shady practices in the very begining of the creation of MS Windows.

But, the fact remains that the man is a financial juggernaut, and has more business acumen than any other person alive. Love him or hate him, he has had a profound effect on the way this world currently works, and he did it without a gun or a gas chamber.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Will.I.Am Discusses How He'll Destroy Wolverine Single-Handed]]> @Final: Mos Def would have been a much better choice, were they hell bent on putting a rapper in the film.

Not that Mos Def is not an excellent actor in his own right.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Two New Ways to Access io9]]> I think it should be a bulletin board that can only be accessed by a 300 baud US Robotics Modem.

Anything else is for lightweights.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on JORDY Headset Magnifier: Not Quite as Advanced as Star Trek Version]]> @92BuickLeSabre: I hope you were not under the impression that they really did listen to you?

Thats a novel idea.

In general, not you specifically.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Sonic Crystals to Make Homes, Cars Completely Soundproof]]> Can it be used to completely enclose an object that so no sound gets out? If so, someone please make crystal helmets for Michael Moore, Kanye West, Rush, Lohan (all of them), and that girl I sat next to Con Law.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on This Spaceship Car Doesn't Drive Quite Fast Enough To Get Away From The Haters]]> It may have 12" i-beams all around, but they appear to be lower than the bumper on most SUVs. With its lovely shape, a collision would simply mean that Arnold in the HumVee is going to drive over your car, crushing your skull, and ridding the world of an ugly piece of crap.

Now that I think about it, that is a PERFECT design.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented]]> If anyone on giz buys this, let me know, so I can make sure to move off of, or avoid, the land mass you live on. I need to keep my self away from that dangerous kind of stupid.

]]> <![CDATA[zenpoet commented on Meet Some Rebooted and New io9ers]]> @Annalee Newitz: *at the bar, throwing out the vibe*

Dammit, Andrew, no you!

Anyway, glad to have you both on board. Your background checks are pending, but no red flags yet. I don't want to find a "12 to the Moon" poster rolled up and hidden in your ceiling tiles, or a 2002 Time Machine replica sitting on your work desks.

Lauren, sorry to hear about law school. It is a damp and evil place.
