With Star Trek Into Darkness (which inexplicably doesn’t have a colon in the title) coming out tomorrow, what better time is there to look at everything wrong with 2009’s Star Trek reboot.

The Internet Could Be Ruining Your Brain
I love the internet and admittedly spend way too much time online or doing something with electronics. However, I grew up without the internet so most of my learning was done without a computer at my side so I can still learn without Wikipedia and love reading books. But what if I grew up with the internet and computers and social networking all around? What would that do to my brain, my memory and how I lived.

Everything Wrong with Iron Man
I’m sure most of you have seen one of Cinema Sin‘s many videos about sins in modern movies. Their latest video happens to be about a movie that has a sequel coming out today. It’s everything wrong with Iron Man in four minutes.

The XCOM Shooter has a Viral Video Ad
YouTube user Veritas MCMLXII has one video. It’s a video that claims that March’s Russian meteor strike wasn’t actually a meteor but a cover story. He says that they used to erase the data but the truth doesn’t stay covered up forever.
So what does this have to do with the XCOM shooter? Well, in English, the username translates Truth 1962. That would coincide with the recent report that 2K Games has registered domains along the lines of The Bureau and What Happened in ’62. It’s probably not a coincidence that this username is called Truth 1962 and 2K registered whathappenedin62.com.

Game of Dinklage
Along with many geeks (and lovers of good TV), I love Game of Thrones. The last time someone asked me who my favourite character was, I answered with one word: Dinklage. I know that I should have said Tyrion but Tyrion Lannister just wouldn’t be half as awesome a half-man if it wasn’t for Peter Dinklage.
Now, you can catch all of The Dinklage’s greatness in a short compilation of all of Tyrion’s greatest quips and one-liners.

This Duck Hunt Pinball Machine is the Great Game Ever
I’m terrible at pinball but that’s never stopped me from playing a game whenever I get the chance. Given the chance, I would definitely try this Duck Hunt pinball machine by Skit-B Pinball. The game was built as a side project but it’s absolutely spectacular. The playing field (Is that the right term for a pinball machine?) uses visuals that look straight from the game and the video board uses graphics and sound effects straight from the classic NES game.
Best of all, you can give that stupid dog what’s coming to it. This game is probably the only thing in history that has resulted in people wanting to shoot a dog.

He’s Still Super: A New Man of Steel Trailer is Out
As a Superman fan, I am equal parts excited and scared of the upcoming Superman re-reboot Man of Steel. On the one hand, Christopher Nolan is involved as a producer and he brought rebooted Batman back from a joke to something closer to the comics. On the other hand, Man of Steel is being directed by Zack Snyder of 300, Watchmen and Sucker Punch fame. That’s reason to be nervous.
However, the latest trailer for Man of Steel has me optimistic for June. After all, more Jor-El, more Jonathan Kent and more Lois Lane is a good thing.

The History of LucasArts
LucasArts is and was one of my all-time favourite publishers. They facilitated some great games from when I was growing up like the Dark Horse / Jedi Knight series, Tie Fighter, Rebel Assault (Shut up! I liked it.) and Knights of the Old Republic. That’s not counting the other massively popular LucasArts games like Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion and Grim Fandango.
Victor Lucas of the popular Canadian gaming news show Electric Playground looks back at the history of LucasArts. For a quasi-Easter Egg, watch for a young Geoff Keighley at the 3:34 mark as he worked in his early days in the gaming press.
