Review: In Time

Type: Science Fiction Adventure Written and Directed By: Andrew Niccol Starring: Justin Timberlake In Time is a movie that takes the phrase “time is money” very literally. It begins with a voice over narration of Justin Timberlake explaining the concept: every person has been genetically engineered to die a year after they turn 25, but

Steve Jobs: Sociopath

Published by in tech on October 26th, 2011

Despite all of the fond memories, condolences, and blatant attempts at being relevant amongst their peers that flooded the internet and various other lesser media in the weeks since Steve Jobs died, most of it is completely unfounded. He made his career by stealing ideas from Intel, IBM, Xerox, and that was just in the

Advice From the Bathroom is a weekly post where D-Sane regurgitates and dissects a piece of advice that an anonymous stranger leaves in the bathroom of his office every week. The ultimate goal is to attempt to uncover why said advice is left for all bathroom goers to see. Advice From the Bathroom: If we

Review: Once Upon A Time

Published by in review, tv on October 23rd, 2011

Network: ABC Creators: Adam Horowitz, Edward Kitsis Episode: Pilot After bitter disappointment with the series finale of LOST, a new series from the same writers is hardly a way to advertise a new series. After creating an entirely science fiction series that ends in a wild bout of fantasy, they have decided to create an entirely fantasy

Batman Arkham City Spoilers

Published by in games on October 22nd, 2011

Batman catches all of the bad guys.

Lions and tigers and bears! Oh my!

With everything that’s fucked up in the world right now, it’s always nice to hear a feel good story every once in a while.  Several exotic animals sprang free from their cages at a private zoo in Ohio this past Wednesday, released by their owner just before he released himself from his life.  Over 50

Today’s Bullshit: T-Mobile Has No iPhone

Apparently it’s news to some asshole over at CNet, but phone service provider T-Mobile doesn’t have the iPhone.  Who gives a shit?  The world keeps spinning.  If T-Mobile customers were looking for an iPhone, they’d switch services.  There’s nothing stopping them.  T-Mobile has (for a very long time now) had 4G service that would be

DEAD: Muammar Gadhafi

Saif Gadhafi and Mutassim Gadhafi have also also been slaughtered. Libyan revolutionary forces plan to drag the corpses through the streets.

Review: Catherine

Publisher: Atlus Platform: PS3/360 Type: Demented Anime Puzzler Catherine is a game where you move blocks around in a nightmare while being attacked by sheep, robot babies, vaginas with tongues coming out of them, and all manner of other beasts (such as a gigantic man’s floating face made entirely from smaller sheep-men).  It uses religious

How You Are Helping Bring Back Jesus

There’s this rather insane group of people around today, who claim they can bring back Jesus. All they have to do is help some poor pathetic people capture some land. How this is supposed to bring back Jesus is beyond me. And the people who have to occupy the land are Jews. Since when do

Review: The Walking Dead (Season 1)

Published by in review, tv on October 16th, 2011

Developer: Frank Darabont Network: AMC Type: Post Apocalyptic Zombie-World Drama In a world overrun by zombie-related memes and media, is an hour long TV show based on a comic book really that necessary? Yes. Yes it is.

Today’s Bullshit: Week Starts On?

I’m going to keep this short, because frankly it speaks for itself. Why is there an option to change what day the week starts on? The week only starts on Sunday. What’s the point of even defining a week if you’re just going to bend the rules for your own purpose anyway? Even more confusing

Stop Having Babies

It’s come to my attention that as a species, we are approaching 7 billion people concurrently living and using the resources of the Earth. In this video however, we learn that this 7 billionth person is no longer a long way off. He or she is coming at the end of the month, just in

When Will They Axe “Whitney”?

Published by in tv on October 13th, 2011

The most unfunny new show on TV this season is without a doubt Whitney. You’ve heard us talk before about this show in our recent look at new TV for the fall, but I think the fact that the show is still on the air is a testament to the need for me to rip

Herman Cain, Mayor of Sim City & Avid Gamer

Herman Cain’s new “9-9-9″ plan for taxes came directly from his stint as the mayor of Sim City. Maybe he has some political experience after all?

Sony PS Vita’s 3G Model Deemed Useless

Published by in games, tech on October 13th, 2011

It was announced today that Sony’s PS Vita 3G would have a 20 MB download cap, similar to it’s Japanese counterpart. The utterly preposterous download cap serves to gimp the device’s functionality in a way that makes it completely obsolete. See, Sony is also selling a non-3G device (both of which support wifi downloads) for

Mass Effect 3 Will Have Multiplayer

Published by in games on October 13th, 2011

Internet Reaction: WAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Cries of “this game does not need multiplayer,” echoed across the internet at Monday’s announcement of there being a multiplayer option in a sequel to a series of games that have been notorious for their single player, story driven narratives. Crybabies everywhere pissed their diapers in response due to the multiplayer functions

Eight Dead in Seal Beach Shooting

Some one down in some bumfuck town near L.A. is shooting people dead outside of a beauty salon. Their reason is undisclosed at this time, but what is known is that eight people are dead. One more has Battle Damage™ and is headed off to some local hospital. That kinda sucks I guess. The assassin

Apple iOS 5: 200 New Features Android Already Has

Published by in tech on October 13th, 2011

Apple has released an update to their needlessly popular Apple devices. This update brings 200 new features to compatible devices, none of which are Flash. The features they do include however, are simply amazing. A new notification center has been stolen quite blatantly from android, in classic Jobs style. You’re sure he’s dead? The rest
