Movie Review: Hostel: Part III

Warhammer 40K: Dark Angels Goodness…again

Dark Angels, Dark Angels, Dark Angels. I keep coming back to these guys for a couple reasons, some of which I outlined in a previous post. But with all the Necron hype, and residually fading Dark Eldar\Grey Knights, there has been a slow simmer of talk about the faq’d Dark Angels. The sixth edition rumors [...]

In a post to the Nmap Hackers list Nmap author Fyodor accuses Download.com of wrapping a trojan installer (as detected by various AV applications when submitted to VirusTotal) around software including Nmap and VLC Media Player.

Review: Aliens: Fast Track to Heaven

  Without a doubt, the “Aliens” storyline has set itself apart from any otherworldly creature franchise.  For years, fans have been raving over the genius of H.R. Geiger’s original concept of an ultra-violent, black exo-skeletoned, killing machine with glass knives for teeth and a tongue with a mini chomping head attached to it.  Over the [...]
