The 84th Oscars have finally come and gone. The golden statues handed out, the envelopes grasped in sweaty palms and the parties have finally ended this cool, gray morning in California…and the world awaits the question burning on the minds of the populace, who won the bragging rights from The Techmenteers.
We have received the final count from Dice, Powerhouse and Hooper the three unemployed accountants I found at the local home improvement store for $20.00. Here are the results:

The Adventures of Fenn Shea in SWTOR: Patch 1.1.2 – Now you can continue to run if you die and a bunch of classes got nerfed when fighting a boss. FennShea is now at level 34, I’m completed Act 1 and am off to take on the galaxy. http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes/1.1.2/272012
Name one superhero (who hasn’t already had their own movie) you would like to see on the big screen. How would you make their story compelling?

Steven Spielberg discusses his next project, an adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson’s book:
“”It’s a movie about a global war between man and machine. I had a great time creating the future on Minority Report, and it’s a future that is coming true faster than any of us thought it would. ‘Robopocalypse’ takes place in 15 or 20 years, so it’ll be another future we can relate to. It’s about the consequences of creating technologies which make our lives easier, and what happens when that technology becomes smarter than we are. It’s not the newest theme, it’s been done throughout science fiction, but it’s a theme that becomes more relevant every year.”"

“Star Wars: Underworld” is reportedly the working title for the live action series. Producer Rick McCallum dropped hints that the series will deal with the the hive of scum and villainy that takes place between Episode 4 and Episode 5.
