I know it’s not out in the UK, but I hope Top Gear will drive the Tesla Roadster in its next series, supposedly starting in October. Odd though, isn’t it, how a car built in Britain with help from a British car manufacturer (Lotus) doesn’t have right–hand drive.

This circuit looks like a lot of fun. What‽ McLaren put those gullwing aerodynamics back on the front of their car! Why? They look terrible! Haha, “Trulli Train”… A little “oops” for Piquet. Oh well. Massa’s done it again‽ WTF‽ Oh right, it’s stuck. Why does Freewire keep disconnecting? This is getting beyond annoying. Sutil’s car’s on...

Just read the Halo Graphic Novel. Normally I wouldn’t pick up something like this, since I’m not a comic reader. But hey, it’s Halo. I have to say: it’s good. I liked all of the stories, but “Breaking Quarantine” was my favourite, and looked the best IMHO. And some of the supplemental artwork at the back of the book are just incredible. Damn I wish I can draw like...

So I was watching the second trailer for “Quantum of Solace”, and I have to say, based on what I see, the filmmakers were probably right. Maybe the line “Bond, James Bond” actually might not fit in with the overall tone of the story.

I was watching “The Dark Knight” just now, and just realised that, in the fight scene in 1IFC in Hong Kong, the window that Batman escaped from is opposite the spot he was standing from on 2IFC. In other words, there’s no way he could’ve got the explosives to latch on to the window in the first place. That notches up the error count in that scene up to two. The other one is when...

iTunes under threat as bands take their business... →

Look, either make bloody good albums or bloody good singles. I’m not going to buy your album unless I like (or marginally like) at least half to three quarters of the songs, which unfortunately is very rare these days (The Script, Viva La Vida, and Minutes to Midnight are one of these rare albums, IMHO). I will happily pay for music, and I do. But if it’s not on iTunes (and I’m...

Watch

rickyv: After hearing Matt Damon’s brilliant comparison of a Sarah Palin presidency to a bad Disney movie, I called up Sam and said “Let’s make a trailer for what that movie would look like.” Within hours, Dan and Amir were writing it, Ben and the CHTV crew were casting and producing it, and two weeks later, here it is. Digg?

Thought: Could the blast seen in Bungie’s new teaser be the slip space jump made by Regret? If so, could this new game be a story about what happened in New Mombassa between Halo 2 and Halo 3? (Specifically how the city was lost, and what the second, Truth-led Covenant invasion was like.)

Bungie's Tease →

Halo-related? I’m excited! Doesn’t say too much at first watch. Will do frame-by-frame later. City shown is probably Tokyo (since it’s been mentioned before). City shown is a deserted New Mombassa, as the red sign on the top left corner of the deserted street scene. Interesting art style, by the way. The space elevator looks completely different than the one in Halo 2. The...
