Dark Souls is on sale for $7.49 right now. It's a no-brainer. You can't call yourself a gamer and not play this game.

I was editing a few files earlier and I had to pause for a few seconds when I came across this comment... April 26th, 2004. Almost exactly nine years ago.
Yikes.

This is a photo taken from a microscope, can you identify what it is?

I'm a big fan of the PC Gamer podcast, and every fifty issues, they record a special edition. This #350 is the funniest of them all, highly recommended.

Terraria is getting a new update, I'm so looking forward to it. I bought this game for something like $3 and spent about 100 hours on it. Can't wait to go back to it.

Is Basic dead? I don't think so. Actually, Steam is about to welcome its first ever QBasic game. It's a single file, 12,000 line source.

To watch or not to watch... I will probably abstain, but it will be hard.
Dark Souls is in the top 2 the best games I played this past decade, it's hard to imagine a sequel could hold up to that, but I'll definitely buy it the day it comes out.

I am a pretty relaxed person and I like a good joke as much as anyone else, but this is taking it too far.
TOO FAR, STEAM, DO YOU HEAR ME?

Haven't encountered that in Kerbal Space Program yet, but it's a matter of time before they add lightning strikes I bet.
"SCE to AUX", I'll try to remember that.

Another feature request for Google Keep: geolocation.
If I take a note and I tag it as "Location aware" (obviously a terrible name), I want Google Keep to bring that note up next time I'm in the same area.
For example, I go to a restaurant, strike a conversation with the owner, I write down "His name is Steve and he likes kite surfing". Next time I'm at this restaurant, pop up a notification with that note.
Any other use cases for this feature?

Google Keep looks nice but no sharing of notes, seriously?
Either Google is not understanding this particular market or they were pressured to ship early because the product leaked before they were ready.
Either way, not really thrilled (and still a bit bitter about that Google Reader assassination too, and wondering if Google Keep won't suffer the same fate in a few months).

Congratulations to the Gmail team (and whatever former colleagues of mine are still working on Gmail): this is pure awesomeness.

Functional programming is important but this is probably not the best way to describe why.

I have to admit enjoying watching Wipeout, because the people who designed the traps are evil geniuses. It's just impossible not to chuckle at the face plants caused by the smack wall and the hidden motivator.

Is it possible on the Android 4.2.1 camera to directly access the gallery (or better, directly share the picture I just took)? The previous version had a handy button that allowed me to view my photos and share them, but I can't find anything like this on 4.2.1 so I'm forced to go to the Gallery to share my pictures.
On a similar note, because of the very barebones camera UI, I haven't found how to access the list of settings, such as configuring the flash, etc... Interestingly, Google searches for "Android camera manual" and similar yields absolutely nothing of interest.
Edit: just realize that pressing the lower right icon will make the wheel change in the middle of the screen. I guess I missed it because the UI feedback of my action is not happening where I provided it... bit confusing.

Am I the only one bothered by all these "+" signs that litter the comments? It's fine as a way to link someone into the discussion, but why keep these in the text once the comment has been submitted?

Just received my Nexus 4, yeah! Unfortunately, I didn't realize it needs a micro-SIM card... doh. Does anyone have any experience switching a regular SIM card for a micro at a T-Mobile store?

If you are an iPhone user and you use either Google calendar or the iPhone's calendar to keep track of the friends you meet with, please send me an email: I'd like to get you in on an experiment that you might find interesting.

I am looking for a video player capable of playing standard video formats (mp4, etc...) and sending the output to RCA (this is to play movies on the DVD system in the car for the kids, hence the weird RCA requirement).
This seems surprisingly hard to find. It doesn't look like the Nexus 7 has any output capabilities, so this is right out. Quality/loss of signal is not critical, so I don't mind having a non-RCA output (meaning I'll have to use a converter before feeding the signal to the DVD screen RCA input).
Any suggestions?
