The game isn’t set to come out until October 25, but Batman: Arkham Origins has been pumping the gaming community full of adrenalin for months with teases about new characters and storylines. Today is no different. Warner Bros. Games Montreal has released a 41-second teaser trailer for the…
I have to get a new Xbox before October somehow. Batman and I need to clean up this damn city.
News spread like wildfire yesterday about Apple banning the sale of Saga #12 due to it containing graphic imagery of gay sex, even if the images were relatively small. Now, it turns out that ComiXology is lifting the blame form Apple and putting it on itself instead. Today, ComiXology CEO David…
Apple didn’t ban a comic from being published through its iOS devices because of depictions of gay sex. Also, it may not even have been the orientation, but the graphic nature displayed. Pictures and more inside. (That’s some clickbait right there, it is.)
Thanks to hair-brained Twitter schemes by those who thankfully don’t know any better than to offend, an angry feminist can also be a funny feminist when making pointed social commentary. Back in February, those who lead the MRA (men’s rights activists) movement created the hashtag…
On this April Fools’ Day, see some people mock some real fools who deserve it. And then join in to do the same.
Without any fanfare, Tumblr managed to tick up to and past the 100 million blog mark this week. The burgeoning internet giant, founded in 2007 by David Karp, has gone on to have more than 44.6 billion posts by its many users. Blogs range from the celebrity-run kind to social movements to…
Happy milestone achievement, Tumblr. Now, to start scrolling again…and again…and again… and…
The past few days have busy for ComiXology thanks to different developments at SXSW. In fact, it seems like they’ve been a bit too busy for the company to handle. First, ComiXology announced a new Submit program for aspiring comic book creators to self-publish through its platform. Then,…

Techcitement learned of Marvel’s upcoming Project Gamma announcement at SXSW and knew this would be a perfect topic for Sensitive Hulk to discuss. IS OKAY, HULK HAVE SPOT OF DUST IN HIS EYE. HULK NOT CRYBABY. HULK SENSITIVE, NOT WUSS. SOMETIME HULK JUST GET MAD AT PR INDUSTRY. HULK…
SENSITIVE HULK SMASH BAD MARKETING DECISIONS.
Normally, we at Techcitement blanch at the thought of publicizing a company’s obvious attempt at viral-video marketing, but sometimes the stars align to make the perfect mix of humor, marketing, and startled disbelief. Such is the case with this beautifully odd video from the best terrible…
So odd. Can’t look away. Can’t look away. So odd. Can’t look away.
What exactly is Marvel planning for SXSW 2013? For the last few weeks, the entertainment giant has been hinting at a mysterious first it plans to announce at the festival. Last year, saw the release of Marvel ReEvolution during the SXSW Interactive’s ScreenBurn Arcade (now simply called SXSW…
Smashing together two of my obsessions, comic books and Techcitement.
A little under a year ago, Techcitement published a list of murderous robots, partially because the Powers That Be here wanted to protect the future of humanity from the mechanical hordes. People mostly laughed at the aforementioned list. Robotic research think tank Boston Dynamics, who we…
And in today’s frightening news, we have this beast.
Creators, both of the tangible and intangible kind, construct some of the most appealing and memorable robots out of a mixture of ideas from the past, present, and future. That exact idea is what led product and toy designer Marco Fernandes to create R³bots.

I want all of these.

Time for a software upgrade, NASA.
Some have pointed out the interesting fact that Apple’s iPhone 4s is four times more powerful than the new rover. This has an additional cool factor too when you consider that the 4S is “old tech” already.
On the topic of old tech, NASA …
