First review of US Life on Mars online

nobody@vox.com(cat) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:20:07 +0000

The Magic Stick, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Slide Rule

nobody@vox.com(Mr. Guilt) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:21:52 +0000

I've posted of my interest in slide rules before (I blame Asimov, and an outdated-even-in-the-eighties book found in my high school library). Occasionally useful, I share this article's amazement that we were able to get things to the moon and bac...

It’s the new US Life on Mars commercial! (FDA warning: contains 90 per cent new ingredients.) There’s new footage of Sam being hit by a car, this time in New York, and the look certainly is closer to the original, albeit Americanized. I am actuall...

Marshall Lancaster’s best line in last night’s Ashes to Ashes on Prime was cut. I can understand the need to cut for advertisements in New Zealand and we will always argue on what is appropriate and what is not, though if you are my age or older y...

Gang Garrison II is amusing. There's actually a server that people are playing on right now, but there is no Vent server up. :( Snipers are fucking overpowered on it. There's always a fucking Sniper War on the game because you can jump and sho...
