Culture Buzz This makes me sad. Taken in a deprived area of Kingston, London.
DC Comics honchos Jim Lee and Geoff Johns are subjected to an intense grilling by BuzzFeed editors about their massive relaunch, The New 52. Virtually all of the major DC titles, from Batman to Wonder Woman, are starting over at #1 with brand new stories and mythologies. We confront the DC creative team about this very important event with very stupid questions.
C'mon, let your colors burst. It's a safe bet that some Lady Gaga is played.
Culture Buzz It's been a long day of heartbreaking news. Let's unwind with the definition of frivolous: a Charlie Sheen Flash game where you run over pedestrians and prostitutes with a car. Once you power up with tiger blood, you can blow up ambulances. Surprisingly diverting!
While vacationing in Barbados, it looks like Rihanna was asked to autograph a few souvenirs. Is there anything Rihanna can't take in stride? UPDATE! Now you can introduce Rihanna's crazy topless friend to whomever you'd like with our handy photo editor. Just scroll to the bottom of the page and get to boobifying!
Culture Buzz Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, et al. reimagined as contemporaries of the Sex Pistols. Another Warren Ellis challenge from the Whitechapel forums. In the same vein as Batman Steampunk Posters, just minus the steam.

It may be small, but Lithuania is the geographic center of Europe, and the meeting of Western and Eastern culture is evident. Lithuania is known worldwide for its love of basketball, but today we’ll acquaint you with its Web design industry. In Web design, Lithuania is still a young country; the Internet boom began only about five years ago, and the country doesn’t have a good Web design school.

Steve Jobs insists that he isn’t out to crush Adobe (ADBE). But at the opening session of the D8 conference, the Apple (AAPL) CEO explained at length why he’s done with Adobe’s Flash: It’s a technology that’s outlived its usefulness, much like floppy disks and serial ports.
Sometimes fanboys are so subtle, I can't even tell if the message they're trying to get across is pro-Apple or anti-Apple. Either way, it makes a great t-shirt.
Tech Buzz The Apple/Adobe war continues apace! Steve Jobs has just posted a lengthy disquisition about his thoughts on Flash, which is generating a lot of discussion on Twitter and other geek havens. In a nutshell, Steve Jobs' thoughts on Flash are that 1) Flash is not as “open” as Adobe likes to claim, 2) Flash has security issues, and 3) It's time to move on. 'Cuz this is annoying (and so is this. And this.).
When using a comic book reader app on your iPhone or iPad, be prepared to run into a few problems. He must have done something to make Steve Jobs angry.
Tech Buzz Howdy, pardners, it's iPad review day! And all the tech cowboys out there are a hootin' and a hollerin'.
Tech Buzz Oh, is the little King sleeping? Oh, we'd hate to disturb you — psych! Hey everybody! Here's a game that's waaaay better than that week B.S. that Jack posted. But I bet you can find something yet better! Submit yours on the Game Battle Channel!
Tech Buzz Finally, a new defense Flash game that lives up to the standard set by Desktop Tower Defense. A thoroughly enjoyable time waster, with a wider-than-usual array of towers to choose from and multiple maps.
Culture Buzz Sometimes they were for viral ads, sometimes they were just good clean fun, but either way 2009 was a great year for people getting together in large groups and dancing in sync.
Tech Buzz A Challenger Appears! With Scott wussing out this week, I thought I'd try to take on Jack's game with Upgrade Complete. In Upgrade Complete, the one objective is to just upgrade everything, not just in game, but everything out of game too. Good Luck.
Tech Buzz My new favorite Flash game: navigate these puzzling landscapes in the dark, but be sure to bring a light with you. Where there's darkness, there's nothing. I'm too enthusiastic about it to even talk any trash about whatever game Jack is rustling up.
