Today Google announced the Google Chrome OS, an open-source web-based operating system. What is it? Well, Google's already stated that "Googlel Chrome OS is Chrome", meaning that the operating system is basically Chrome used to manage your computer. Only since it's a web-based OS, your data is not physically on your machine, but in the Google data cloud. Check out the video below for a good amount of explanation.

I can fucking hear you already... "Well, it would look like Earth. With rings." Yeah smartass, that's right. But some guy rendered not only what Earth would look like from the outside if it was a ringed planet, but also what the rings would look like from various points on Earth looking up. Holy fuck, I want a ringed planet now. That looks so badass.

First off, this song would be awesome if it weren't for the video. Tom motherfucking Waits and Kool Keith. An odd, but awesome combination. But add in one of the most wickedest 5 minutes of animations and it's a winner with a capital W.

These days, just killing someone in a normal fashion is just so blase. Today's video game super heroes have to get all crazy with their murderous rampages. This latest Bayonetta video explains the magic attack system. Landing successive blows on enemies without being struck fills the magic bar, allowing Bayonetta to unleash some particularly nasty finishing moves.

Hitman Monkey? Yes, Hitman Monkey. Like a guy in a stupid spandex monkey suit? No. Like a jazz-loving 30 pound Japanese macaque in a suit with duel handguns. This is the fucking superhero anti-hero the world has been waiting for. Hitman Monkey will make his debut in Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited this December, making for the first time ever that Marvel has debuted a brand new character in digital form first. But this is a motherfucking monkey. With guns. He can do whatever the fuck he wants.

Good thing: Making people more aware of domestic violence and how to prevent it, how to deal with it etc. Bad thing: Making people more aware of domestic violence with a website called "Hit the Bitch" where you can virtually beat the holy hell out of a woman. Denmark, should we talk? Is something wrong?
