BL2 screenshots and weird book titles
As promised, here are some screenies from Borderlands 2 Vita. Some seriously epic parking. Was a total accident; I'd been driving at a couple hundred miles per hour and hit a wall. This was the...
Borderlands 2 Vita verdict
So. I've spent the last two days playing Borderlands 2 on the PS Vita, and I can honestly say, without bias of any kind, that it is the tits. It's not perfect, by any stretch of the imagination;...
Why aren't my fingers in someone's eye sockets right now? (Go to 2:12) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GFiTU4br394#t=132

A trip to Hell and back
Well. Turns out that Borderlands 2 was released in the UK yesterday, on the PSN. For some reason, physical copies don't get released until tomorrow. The trip to Hell stems from the fact that I p...
Hardcore hip-hop
This is the real stuff. Not that Kanye bollocks, this is hardcore rap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGz6Y0k9m4o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXc8CbSoPsw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvux...
Scenes from Aliens, recreated in LEGO
This is awesome.
Oh, God DAMN it.
Why the Hell does every gaming website on the planet say that Borderlands 2 Vita is released in Europe today? It doesn't get a release until the 30th, and I only found that out after I went to th...
Borderlands 2 tomorrow
BL2 gets a Vita release tomorrow in the UK. Awesome, I can't wait. My laptop can run Borderlands 1, just about, but not 2. I've played and completed the sequel when it was released, but I haven't...

Lulz Talk Radio talks about the Elliot Rodger thing: http://www.spreaker.com/user/lulztalkradio/elliot-rodger-is-an-american-hero WARNING: If you're offended, don't be a little bitch about it. ...
UKIP
If any of you mongoloid fucks vote for UKIP, I will personally come to your house and kick you in the testicles. Now, I was going to say "kick you in the cunt", but I changed it at the last sec...
War Locke
Day after tomorrow comes Borderlands 2 Vita. Can't wait. Thinking about that little privileged virgin who did the sorority drive-by recently. For some reason this video stuck in my head, so here...
Music stuffs
If you play the first few seconds of Ozzy Osbourne's song Bloodbath in Paradise backwards, you hear the words "your mother sells whelks in Hull". On Mike Oldfield's Amarok, at 48:05, you can hea...
Elliot Rodger
What a little pussy. That video was the epitome of cringe. Offing yourself, I got that, but why'd you have to take out 6 others? At least he died like he lived. A virgin.

Yay
Just bought a 32GB iPod touch for £65. Quite happy because it's still cheaper than buying a 32GB Vita card and I can delete all the music off my Vita and have more room for games. Bitching. It's...

Man
I'm going out tonight. I don't expect to enjoy it. I'd far rather be here inside where the idiots can't get to me, but I suppose I should see the outside world for a change. Being social isn't on...

Terraria: Plantera
The music in Terraria tends to piss me off, not really being into that kind of electronic glitchy 8-bit-style chiptunes crap, but the Plantera boss music is awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Fucking beards
God, I hate these fucking beardos. To me, the beard has become a bullseye for a fist on the face of a smug hipster. That's it. Very few men can get away with beards. Apparently, beards are all th...

Book Description
Transhumanism is a loosely defined movement that has developed gradually over the past two decades. It promotes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and evaluating the opportunities for enhancing the human condition and the human organism opened up by the advancement of technology. Attention is given to both present technologies, like genetic engineering and information technology, and anticipated future ones, such as molecular nanotechnology and artificial intelligence.
The enhancement options being discussed include radical extension of human health-span, eradication of disease, elimination of unnecessary suffering, and augmentation of human intellectual, physical, and emotional capacities. Other transhumanist themes include space colonization and the possibility of creating superintelligent machines, along with other potential developments that could profoundly alter the human condition. The ambit is not limited to gadgets and medicine, but encompasses also economic, social, institutional designs, cultural development, and psychological skills and techniques.
