For the most part, the people who have made and criticized films over the past two decades have shared little love for video games — which remains to be perceived, by skeptics, as a half-formed medium for puerile loners swilling Mountain Dew and struggling to bleach Cheetos stains from their sweatpants. Studios have occasionally taken interest in video games in the way coastal businessmen eyed mining towns. A series of middling to terrible game-to-movie adaptations tried to harvest games of their audiences, leaving both filmmakers and game publishers bitter and skeptical. Every now and then a studio returns to adapt a video game, like it’s some trendy form of masochism unique to the bouge neighborhoods of Los Angeles. To this day, film critics use video games as pejorative when describing lesser films that are too frenetic or emotionally vacant. When sought for approval, the most famous and beloved film critic of them all, the late Roger Ebert, lifted his nose in disgust, … [Read more...] about Uncharted 4 is the best (and possibly last) game of its kind

The authors called the resulting aggregate a POD, for Protease Operated Depot. Over several days, the body's protein cutting enzymes (proteases) would gradually chew up the aggregate, slowly releasing the GLP-1 in the process. The authors found that a single POD injection could keep the peptide levels in the blood stream of a test animal stable for up to five days. And they suggest that, by varying the sites that triggered the GLP-1 release, they could stretch that out even longer. … [Read more...] about Peptide depots and DNA tattoos could deliver drugs in the future

The lightweight nature of Google’s balloons, however, comes with certain advantages. Free internet access sounds benevolent, but flying dozens or even hundreds of aircraft in constant orbit over a sovereign nation can raise a lot of questions from local governments. "Whatever goes into China’s airspace is going to end up on the ground," says McClatchie with a chuckle. Project Loon is far more innocuous, joining upwards of 70,000 weather balloons that orbit the planet at any given time. Given the US history with drones, many countries may be nervous about allowing a private fleet of them to orbit in their airspace, even if Facebook promises they’re doing nothing beyond providing internet access. … [Read more...] about Google’s balloons versus Facebook’s drones: the dogfight to send internet from the sky

Not everyone loved Battlestar Galactica's finale, but I think Ron Moore closed the loop in an ingenious, and unexpected, way: The fleet settled here and became our forefathers. Flash-forward to present day -- our present day -- as scientists have discovered the bones of a common matrilineal ancestor (Hera!). Meanwhile,  increasingly human robots are taking the stage. Our stage. By weaving real-world events into Galactica's narrative, Moore beautifully dovetailed his fiction with our reality. … [Read more...] about Battlestar Galactica’s on Peacock: Top moments from the best sci-fi series ever
