Not a front for a secret organization.

“You know how in an action movie foot chase, the guy being chased will go to unnecessary lengths to shove any extras who are even remotely in his way?
We made a game about that.”
Can't wait!
...actually, it'd be fine all they made was this video. The gameplay sections don't look so hot. But it's an excellent idea!
Sometimes you have to resort to desperate measures to get people to stop driving all over your pickup truck.
I liked reading Kibo so much in high school.
The obstacle at 1:06 made my face really big.
My plan was to watch Contagion as though it was a direct sequel to Rise of the Planet of the APES, since the idea of a pandemic is only suggested in the end title sequence. The biggest problems with this approach are that a) the virus in Contagion doesn’t turn anyone into an APE, and b) that doesn’t happen in the ape movie either.
Instead, we get a fairly “realistic”1 portrayal of what happens to us in an outbreak. And the problem with that is that it’s a little bit boring. Although humanity is decimated, it still feels like nothing much happens. There’s no main character, or anyone whose life, death, or infection status seemed to matter. I didn’t really care about any of the humans in this movie, so on that score, it’s right there with APES, except that unlike that movie, Contagion hasn’t got any apes.
: Whether or not the science is accurate doesn’t matter. The movie is realistic in what seems to be a non-fantasy portrayal of what might happen. It’s probably about as accurate as an XKCD What If? ↩
I originally registered NormalWebsite.com for Leopold, the computer in this clip. I thought that as a computer, he would want a perfectly ordinary website, because one of his two favorite things is fitting in with regular folks.
I'd hate to take that away from him just so I can have fun writing, so hopefully he'll turn up now and then.
