Comment Am I the only one...? (Score 0) 465

I was actually really annoyed that they had the Cylons "evolve" into humanoids. While the old show was just too damn cheesy, a modern day version of humans versus killer (looking) machines in space would be pretty cool. Instead we got Cylons getting all humanoid and emo about god, and a bunch of other crap I could care less about. And using a computer virus to make all the vipers sitting ducks and getting wiped out? Would prefer a good old space battle to shooting fish in a barrel. What ever happened to the good old "pew pew" with frikin' lasers? Also didn't like the "shakey cam" way it was shot. Probably why I gave up on it shortly into the second season, only to watch the final ep, that could be summed up with "meh". ---Yes I know that will annoy a lot of people, but really, it was terrible.

Robot Drawn Caricatures 29

ptresset writes "From Singularity Hub: 'Artists and programmers in the UK have decided to improve upon the male and female symbols outside many toilet facilities. They’ve developed a set of robotic arms that take pictures of people entering into a bathroom and then use that image to create a unique drawing to place outside the door. It then wipes away this art to make room for the next person’s caricature.'"

GOG.com Not Really Gone 276

gspr writes "On Sunday, Slashdot and many others reported that DRM-free games site GOG.com was shutting down. Now the site is back, revealing that it was all a hoax. According to the site: 'Now it's time we put an end to all the speculations once and for all. It's true that we decided that we couldn't keep GOG.com the way it was so we won't. As you probably know by now, GOG.com is entering its new era with an end of the two-years beta stage and we're launching a brand new GOG.com with new, huge releases.' So it was all an advertising stunt."
