But a recent event coinciding with the annual meeting of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (ASSC) in New York serves as an example of how far we've come in efforts to model the basic mechanisms of human thinking.Judges in an adversarial meeting of the minds determined that a series…

via 20th Century Fox Despite both properties being owned by the same studio and residing in an industry where franchises are of the utmost importance, it took a remarkable 25 years for Alien vs. Predator to make it to the big screen. When it did, it would be fair to say the wait absolutely wasn’t worth it. The iconic sci-fi creatures first squared off in a 1989 comic book series, which was then followed by novelizations. Predator 2 dropped the first real hint that a live-action version was on the table with an…

American McGee, a game developer who worked on various id Software titles in the ‘90s, has paid back a loan to the studio’s founder John Carmack after 25 years.

He was fired in 1998 due to “internal politics and my own failings,” but was apparently never given a reason by id Software. He joined EA shortly afterward and worked as creative director on American Mcgee’s Alice which spawned a number of spin-off projects. McGee also…

The PSOne version would launch just a few weeks later on December 12. It could be that Rockstar drops the…

via Sony As far as blatantly transparent cash-grabs designed explicitly to cash in on a hot trend go, they don’t come more egregious than I Know What You Did Last Summer. After Wes Craven’s Scream turned the entire slasher genre on its head to give the tiring format a self-aware and wonderfully fresh coat of postmodern paint, it was inevitable that a deluge of imitators would follow. Funnily enough, Ghostface creator Kevin Williamson had just the screenplay he’d already written, which was then rushed through…
