Welcome back to the workweek, Kotaku readers. I know. Bummer. But weâre back from Comic-Con, better rested and in possession of two new Slimes. That, ladies and gentlemen, represents the entirety of my Comic-Con haul. Did you fare any better?
Granted, I did walk away with a free book and one free Team Fortress 2 gun (or at least a download code for the thing), but I wasnât big on spending at this yearâs annual geek convention. Sure, there were plenty of toys, figurines and comic books that I wanted to buy, but Iâve already got enough plastic crap. With the exception of two Dragon Quest slimes that is.
You can use this thread as a sounding board, a place to brag about sweet loot you acquired or just a place to make some conversation. Or you can enjoy the following links. Look, Iâm not the boss of you. Do want you want, man.
How a Mars rover lands on the surface â Bad ass. The math has me reeling.
New (red band) trailer for Drive â The smart looking Ryan Gosling stunt driver flick. Also bad ass.
This American Life focuses on the business of patents and patent trolls â Listen to this.
The Atlanticâs heartbreaking, graphic gallery of scenes from Osloâs terrorist attack â Helps put Utoya Island and the youth camp in perspective.
Steven Soderberghâs odd-looking Haywire â The action flick starring American Gladiator Gina Carano and more recognizable names. I dunno.
