But we already can fly.

Planes can fly, but humans can't.

And we never will be able to fly (on our own). When I said "geek dream" I meant something that could be a possibility. Human beings sprouting wings and flying is impossible.

Stop harshin' our dreams, yo.

Individual flight is certainly possible, given a small/safe enough power source, personal jet-packs are within the realm of possibility. As is some sort of personal anti-gravity. Not any time soon, per se, but if we crack cold fusion (or make an unrelated yet still awesome discovery) it's there.

Little Big Planet 2 today!!!!!!!!!

Collector's edition of course.

In Feb, Marvel vs Capcom 3...now if they would just say Mega man is going to be in it and stop making me wait. Oh and Dante from DMC has 40 special moves...that is absurd. I will master him and he will love me. Love his Demon form Super combo

I just got back from seeing The Green Hornet. It was okay, I guess. Kind of reminded me of the movie "Kick Ass". Hmm, I wonder who would win, Kick Ass and Hit Girl vs. The Green Hornet and Kato. lol :p

What's Little Big Planet 2?

I'm already living my geek dream job as an auto designer.

But, if I had to choose another, though....


I don't know if I could choose just one. It's between driving a Porsche 997 GT2 RS at Nurburgring.

Or watching 24 hours of Le Mans (IRL).

Or test driving Ferraris for a living.

ETA: Probably this one. My geek dream would be to have Jeremy Clarkson's job.:D

Teletransportation or hover cars, so that I don't have to deal with slick, icy or snowy roads ever again. EVER.

The best thing since Super Mario Brothers ...only on the Playstation 3

This...

and I am still sticking with my answer.

Haven't we all seen enough Buck Rogers / James Bond flicks to wish it possible?

Netflix is slowly getting rid of DVDs...resistance is coming

In a seemingly innocent 109-word blog post, Netflix director of product management Jamie Odell announced, "We're removing the 'Add to DVD Queue' option from streaming devices," suggesting that it was being done so that the company "can concentrate on offering you the titles that are available to watch instantly." Granted, the Netflix website still allows DVD queue updating, but this post, dropped on the morning of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, created an immediate firestorm of comments -- most of them very, very angry.

"Clearly Netflix wants to send less discs through the mail, and therefore wants to make it more difficult for the user to add to their queue in furtherance of that," wrote "Eldendor." "Horrible idea!" wrote "usrbingeek." "Especially when there are still few titles available for streaming and the titles that you do have, seem to have very narrow license windows." On and on came the complaints, with most responders saying essentially (1) I like having access to DVDs even if I use a PS3 or mobile phone to stream movies on Netflix; and (2) there aren't enough good titles available on "Watch Instantly." "I think this is a totally foolish move on your part. I like to be able to add movies to my DVD queue from my iPhone," commented "b.dsign." "[I]f this means that netflix is going to add more movies to watch instantly i support the change," "Beto" wrote, "but if they are not, then it's just a bad idea."

As of yet Netflix hasn't released any response, which, really, is their response. Whether customers like or not, Netflix knows that the future is moving away from physical discs and toward instant access. And, really, none of us who use Netflix should be surprised: Back in November the company announced that they were offering a new lower subscription rate for streaming-only customers while increasing the rate for people who still wanted DVDs. Right now, if you want DVDs from Netflix, the company is less than thrilled with you: They need you to get used to the idea of streaming films and TV shows so that you'll drop the physical disc habit: a craving, ironically, that they themselves created thanks to the ease of their iconic red envelopes.

^^ Honestly I don't see this as a move away from DVDs but more making it easier to find streaming when you're looking for streaming. Now, that said adding a checkbox to show/hide DVD only titles would have been smarter. While moving from DVDs may be their goal, I don't see this as relevant to that.

You also need to get off of yahoo blogs >.>

Live-in and I picked it up after work last night. I like the story levels, he likes the created levels. I made it through the first full level only because he wanted to play some of the created ones, and we were actually responsible and went to bed at 11pm instead of staying up all night like we both probably wanted to.

Tonight I have work stuff to do but I will probably play it a little more through the week (although Live-in just got a couple of games that he wants to play, too), but he works on Saturday so I'm planning on scooting through as much as I can.

What I really love:
I can play with my friends without meeting up with them in person (read: I want to wear my rattiest PJs ever while playing this game). I didn't have an account while playing the first one, so I'm not 100% sure if you could do that before, but I love the "join the players" aspect of 2.

Also, the story aspect is more interesting so far.

CG I think you might actually like Little Big Planet. The "story" levels (if you can call what's in the first version an actual story) are kindof similar to Super Mario Bros, but you collect items that help you build your own worlds and you can play the worlds that other players are creating. It's got a social networking aspect that's really quite interesting.

Plus, the sackboy is cute. Well, mine is a sackgirl right now. And she's freaking a-dorable.

@drole...I read this in three other sites and I still think that eventually netflix will try harder to push people away from disks. I mean, they already pushed people away from Blockbuster and the streaming option has grown tremendously within ONE year. They have brokered deals with Starz, ABC and Disney and almost had one with HBO, which would have been a coup, so I would really keep an eye on Netflix this year especially since their price went up.

Hulu needs to start looking over its shoulder.
