Alright, I have to share this one . . . my duty as both a PS3 owner and a guy who has no qualms with crapping his pants over things of epically awesome proportions.
Alright, here's the premise . . .
New game coming out for the PS3 this month called LittleBigPlanet. It's a basic side-scroller of "get from point A to point B" that features crazy cool physics-based puzzles and the like. More importantly, though, it will feature a lot of network-based sharing and multiplayer capabilities. What are people sharing? Levels you can create yourself with all the physics the game gives you, be they platforms, objects, levers, pulleys, or what have you.
If you really want more info, Wiki link is here and half of a level demo is here.
So how far can you actually go with the level-creator and the physics of the game? Well, one Beta tester made a calculator . . .
He basically made an adding machine out of... 610 magnetic switches, 500 wires, 430 pistons, 70 emitters and more. All using the in-game physics and rules. And this was only with the beta version of the game!
This game could very well nuke us all once it becomes self-aware . . .

*shot with a canon*
Here's My Result:
Mad Dog Rackham.
Part crazy, part mangy, all rabid, you're the pirate all the others fear might just snap soon. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

Join us - TimeChaser, Katana, and Shinmaru - for the next Movie Sign on theOtaku Community Chat.
What is Movie Sign?
Each week, we watch an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 while having a fun, spammy chat about it. We use episodes available on You Tube so everyone can watch them simultaneously.
What is MST3K?
It's a comedy show about a man and his robots being forced to watch bad movies as part of a mad scientist's experiment. The man, Joel Robinson or Mike Nelson, and the robots Tom Servo and Crow, watch real B-movies and riff on them, that is make jokes and talk back to the films.
Next Episode
The alien arachnids have landed in Episode 810 - The Giant Spider Invasion. When a meteor crashes in rural Wisconsin, it opens a gateway to another dimension, letting loose the titular spider invasion. The film, released in 1975, stars several has-been actors, the most notable being Alan Hale, Jr. (Skipper on Gilligan's Island).
Host Segment Highlights: Mike and the Bots have to deal with an invasion of body-snatching alien pods.
Here is a compilation of scenes from the film:
So be there next Sunday night and join in the fun! Movie starts at 8 PM EST, chat opens at 7:30.
