When your TV show's writing staff includes folks with PhDs in maths and sciences, you're bound to end up with some spectacularly nerdy jokes. And if you dig a little deeper into some of the jokes in Futurama, you won't just laugh — you may actually learn something.
A friendly reminder: if you're hoping to get an Xbox One for $350, you only have a few more days to do so. In a post on the Xbox Wire today, Microsoft said that the $50 discount expires this coming Saturday, January 3rd. You can almost afford a brand new game with those savings!
Sometimes you love a game so much you've just gotta create a short animated holiday special based on it, and so we have Wind-up Dog Animation's short but sweet Shovel Knight Animated Holiday Special.
Here's a great tutorial for using ribbon, baubles, and googly eyes to honor the Christmas Spirit intrinsic in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with your festive Krampusbush. Read the rest
The holidays on Pinterest usually mean crafty recipes like melted snowman cookies or pretty table decorating ideas like olives on a bed of rosemary. That's why when I saw a slew of photos of bread shaped to look like Santa Claus in my feed, I was a little concerned. Would you eat something that looked like this?
Sony's big screen adaptation of Patrick Jean's outstanding games-versus-real-life animated short scored a trio of new posters today, evoking far greater majesty than a movie starring Adam Sandler has any right to.
An "exploration of the truth." This is exactly what Pesco and I were thinking a few days ago.

The visual style and fashion of Twin Peaks has never looked so cool as it does these days, if you ask me.
Giant Bomb's Site Mashup Papers, Please Coming to iPad With Some Unfortunate Changes
When Papers, Please was released, it was an obvious candidate for tablets. An iPad version is coming very soon, but designer Lucas Pope has revealed Apple's restrictive guidelines means it's been altered.
Most notably, Pope was forced to remove the player's ability to screen individuals, which allowed you see them semi-naked. The decision to (or to not) screen was one of many uncomfortable decisions players grappled with in Papers, Please, and it's removal from the iPad version dulls some of the game's impact.
The iPad version has no full nudity option for the search scanner photos. Apple rejected that build for containing "pornographic content."

I did this iPad version myself. The Vita port has way more dependencies so there's still no ETA on that. I probably announced it too early.

The iPad version is coming tomorrow, December 12.

Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome Good At Your Job: Mesmerizing 9V Battery Packing Robots
This is a video of two mesmerizing 9V battery packing robots recently on display at PackExpo 2014, which, yes, is a trade show about packaging things. Just look at those robots go! Way more efficient that people. If they had actually people doing this you'd have Lucille Ball standing there with a mouthful of 9V batteries. Keep going for the video, plus one of the best I Love Lucy scenes of all time.Sent with Reeder
When I first started using a slow cooker, I was delighted to prepare ingredients before I went to work so I could come home to a hot meal. Sometimes, however, there just isn't time in my morning routine. Searing meat, cooking vegetables, and reducing liquids sometimes amounts to an hour of prep or more.
Then I decided to start using my slow cooker the other way: overnight instead.
Deadspin Ryan Leaf Is Out Of Prison And He Looks Terrible
Why, yes, the tale of Ryan Leaf can get sadder. For proof, here is his latest mugshot, snapped yesterday before he was released from a Montana prison. Leaf, once the man with the arm that could not fail (except it did), now kinda looks like a sad dad. A really sad dad. Oh boy, this is sad.
