Netflix Anime: Samurai 7 Review
If your anything like me you don't have the money to pump into everything that is cool, and for me that includes Anime. But luckily some of us have Netflix, which has done an awesome job of expanding their Anime selection. The best part about Netflix's Anime collection is that thousands of people are being introduced to Anime for the first time.About 2 weeks ago I asked you to watch Samurai 7 with me on Netflix. For those who took the journey with me, thanks! For those who didn't that's fine, maybe next time. But was Samurai 7 worth 2 weeks?

New Bane Picture Shows Scar
Here we have a behind the scene picture of Tom Hardy aka Bane, with his mask off. Though we don't see his front, we see some cool scars on his neck and the top right part of his skull. From other pictures of Bane with his mask on we don't see scars, at least from what I can tell. So wonder if that's reason he wears a mask in Nolan's Batman.

3D Printer
Recreating physical things in the digital world is nothing new. We’ve been doing it, and getting better at it, for the past several decades. We’ve seen tons of different methods of recreating something here as a believable digital something there, from basic CGI to emerging tech like the insane facial-recognition software used for the game L.A. Noire. None of them, however, have been quite as cool as the OrcaM reconstruction sphere. This is some straight-up Tron shit right here.

Scientist Experiment with Multiverse
So the first time I heard the word Multiverse was actually from the Chronicles of Riddick. But the Multiverse the idea that multiple universes exist, with multiple copies of you and I sure seems like an idea for a Sci-Fi book. Well according to PopSci scientists are experimenting with neutrons jumping from universe to universe. The notion of multiple universes is one that cosmologists like to theorize about but generally don’t relish proving, mainly because doing so would be very difficult. But a team of researchers that showed a few years ago how matter might travel between our universe and others now think they ought to be able to observe this phenomenon in action using existing technology, lendingcredence to the multiverse theory. All they need is a neutron bottle, some neutrons, and a year.

A rocky exoplanet about the size of Mercury appears to be evaporating before our eyes. If confirmed, this would be the first time a rocky planet has been found turning to gas, demonstrating just how wacky alien planets can be. The provocative suggestion may also foreshadow the fate of Mercury.

Don't worry we're OK, it's not like a Death Star hanging over Alderaan or anything. NewScientist has the details,It turns out that increased solar activity in recent years has removed some of the satellite debris that clogs this region, making it temporarily safer for other satellites and astronauts.

When Robots are LIfelike
All Super Nerds are merely waiting for the Robots to rise up and take over the world...hehe. That is why we're reading this article isn't it....hehehe.Anyways New Scientist has a cool article about Robots becoming more lifelike,
FROM robotic slug-killers to dancing humanoids, there's a lot of media buzz around robots. But the roboticists behind such ventures need a serious reality check.As a founder of iRobot Corporation, based in Bedford, Massachusetts, and CEO of robotics start-up CyPhy Works, it's clear to me that merely engineering "cool" robots does little to advance the field. If robotics is to succeed like computing, what matters is making practical robots that do jobs well and affordably - factors that tend to get lost as people fascinate over the latest autonomous party pieces.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Review
Final Fantasy XIII-2 proves itself the better game, but it lacks the same focused storytelling employed in the original. It benefits from an improved battle system, open environments, and an overall level of polish that deserves a nod of respect.Despite its severe lack of closure, Final Fantasy XIII-2 still deserves your time, especially for a few poignant moments set at the end of days.

"We need different rhythms in our life, don’t we, and to me it would be the wrong rhythm to jump into a franchise at this point. For now, no, I’d be looking for new experiences."The greatness of Batman:
"I had never been someone into comic books, it just didn’t interest me. It wasn’t my thing. [After reading BATMAN: YEAR ONE], I found Batman has so many issues, he’s not a healthy individual, this is somebody that is doing good, but he’s right on the verge of doing bad. He’s got that killer within him that he’s desperately not trying to let off his leash."

Chronicles of Riddick 3 Dave Bautista
Sackhoff, who cemented herself into sci-fi history as the cigar-chomping, bar-brawling, viper-flying Starbuck, is locking in a
deal to play Dahl, a Nordic mercenary on the hunt for Richard B. Riddick.The actress was rumoured as being involved as far back as November last year, along with Bokeem Woodbine and Dave Bautista, but the casting process was put on hold when the finances looked a little wobbly and production on the new film was briefly shut down. Things seem to be fully back on track now, and we expect the others to sign on shortly, assuming they haven’t had to move on to other projects.They’ll all join Diesel and Karl Urban, who is reprising his role as Necromonger Vaako. With David Twohy back on writing and directing duties,Riddick (or whatever it ends up being called) should be out either later this year or mid 2013.

Battlestar Galactica Blood and Chrome Update
Remember the Battlestar Galactica spin-off? No, not Caprica, the other one. We’re talking about Blood & Chrome, which would explore the oft-discussed but seldom-seen original Cylon war, and would focus on a young fighter pilot named William Adama (played by Luke Pasqualino). We know a pilot was shot, but the last we heard of the series was back in August, when Syfy exec Mark Stern said that they weren’t even sure if the series would actually air on the network, or whether it might end up as aweb series. That wasn’t exactly encouraging news, and the long silence might have lead some to assume the project was dead and buried. Not so, according to Stern, who gave a brief update on the project during the Television Critics Association press tour, as reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Of course, just because it’s alive doesn’t mean we’ll actually see it anytime soon.According to Stern, the lack of updates owes simply to two factors: Syfy’s ongoing efforts to figure out how to make the production work in an affordable way, and the large amount of post-production required. That latter element is because the pilot was shot almost entirely on green screen. Because of all the post-production work required, Syfy executives didn’t even see a cut of the pilot until this past November. As Stern explains:We’re applying this idea of virtual sets on a whole new level. We took photos and digitized all the ‘Battlestar Galactica’ sets before we struck them. So when you see two actors walking down a hallway, they’re [really] walking down a green hallway and then we put photo-real shots of hallways and CIC and all the sets we had behind them.

What every Super Nerd's living room needs is a giant NES controller right? Mail Online got the scoop,The world's largest video game controller, 30 times the size of a standard joypad, was unveiled today as one of the wackier winners in the new Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition. The fully working device, which is an oversized replica of the pads on Nintendo's iconic NES console, was on display at Liverpool St Station, London. If you wanted to use it like a standard handheld pad, you would need to be 51m (167ft) tall – the same height as London landmark Nelson’s Column.The pad, created by a team of students from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, went on display to promote the Guinness World Records 2012 Gamer’s Edition.British engineering student Ben Allen, 23, was one of the three who built the device as apart of a university project.Mr Allen said: 'This is really a labour of love. We’re passionate about gaming and wanted to honour its most iconic device; the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) joypad.
