Google Starts Censoring BitTorrent, RapidShare and... →
wilwheaton:
It’s taken a while, but Google has finally caved in to pressure from the entertainment industries including the MPAA and RIAA. The search engine now actively censors terms including BitTorrent, torrent, utorrent, RapidShare and Megaupload from its instant and autocomplete services. The reactions from affected companies and services are not mild, with BitTorrent Inc., RapidShare and...

As we wrote about a few weeks ago, Chick-fil-A’s charitable arm, the WinShape Foundation, has been particularly active in the fight against marriage equality. They’ve hosted conferences with some of the leading opponents of gay marriage in this country. A higher up at WinShape has even praised the efforts of anti-gay activist David Blankenhorn for working against...

I think I speak for everyone when I say FUCK YOU.
EDIT: This is what I get for not researching stories. Apparently the above story is bogus. http://bit.ly/hzvHtT
Would this be insanely difficult?

Setting up Xbox Live for 2 to 4 Xboxes and playing Call of Duty or the like… during a show… at say UCB.
That would be problematic, wouldn’t it? It would be for a show.
I don’t think this is giving away any corporate secrets, so I’ll make this a public post and not an email.

UCB Improv on YouTube
mattmayer:
3pm EST today (so in 40 minutes), live on YouTube. Why did I not know about this before I uncharacteristically clicked to turn the volume on on an ad?
I follow the “blogger in chief” for HP on twitter (he used to be a video game journalist). His post about this thing uses the word skit much more than I would like.
Apparently, you can send suggestions to an Eprinter...
Umm... go to PAX East this year →
Hey friends.
This March 11th-13 with be the second annual Penny Arcade Expo: East Coast (aka PAX East). I had a great weekend last year, and I’ll be there in March.
I would like to see you there! The people and events were awesome. It’s the only community that comes close to the NYC Improv scene in terms of nerdiness and genuine acceptance of whatever weird thing you love. From the...

jawboneradio:
All this week, I have been trying to raise funds to make it to PAX East in March. I’d like to raise enough to pay for my travel, hotel and expenses. I am so close to making my goal and I think this one day auction may push it over the top.
I am selling an uncut sheet of Geek #7: MC Frontalot’s trading card. Back in May, when Frontalot came to Cleveland, I made him a set of...
Dark Knight Rises: Catwoman and Bane →
was just about to post this.
Bane is one of the more “realistic” villains in the Rogue’s Gallery, but that doesn’t make me excited for him. By realistic, I mean he’s not half penguin or a guy obsessed with time. He’s a strong man made stronger by drugs. Nolan’s going to have his work cut out for him to make Bane interesting.
As for Catwoman: I like Anne...

Quoted in HuffPo.
You were quoted in HuffPo saying Diddy was the biggest star to hit that stage (sure you said had the caveat of in-the-moment of pop culture), but you did a Harold with Academy-Award winner Robin Williams! Did you mention that? Because they didn’t!
YEAH JEEZ PAT BAER! ROBIN WILLIAMS IS REALLY SAD NOW!
I did talk about Robin Williams when I...

I’ve talked before about how much I like Tested.com. Their CES coverage was awesome, because it was clear they were having a great time.
