E.g., in the episode "Digital Estate Planning," it looks like the gang enters a world of 16-bit wonder (ignore the "8-bit" nonsense above, as no one seems to remember what that really means any more)! And yes, this does sound pretty hackneyed, but this is exactly the sort of shit Community does so brilliantly it gets away with it, so shut up. SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE! WOO!]]>

      <![CDATA[Do you have a Roomba? Have you ever said to yourself, "Boy, I love that it vacuums up my living area without any work on my part, but what would be nice is if it depended on me emotionally"? If so, you're in for a treat, because Sharp is releasing the Cocorobo, a highly advanced Roomba on crack with also crippling emotional needs. You'll have to speak to and/or use the Cocorobo every day to keep it happy, or... well, I don't know, because the video sinisterly doesn't answer this question. Does it stop cleaning? Does it hide your car keys? If you ignore it for too long, will it jump into your bathtub while you're showering to attempt a murder-suicide pact? Or does it simply use its advanced cleaning capabilities to make sure no trace of your body is ever found again? Thanks to&nbsp;Ken_Shiro for the tip.]]>

      More accurate outfits and actual weaponry aren&apos;t the only additions to G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Looks like there&apos;ll be a few toy-inspired vehicles making their appearance in the movie too, like the HISS Tank above (as revealed by Cobra Special Forces). It&apos;s not 100% accurate to the original toy, but it&apos;s a damn sight better than the white Budget rental van Joe drove around Paris in in Rise of Cobra, so I&apos;m digging it immensely.

      The only thing I know less about True Blood is if any TR readers enjoy it or consider it nerdy. However, the only alternative I had to running this full trailer for True Blood season 5 was yet more Prometheus and Amazing Spider-Man bullshit, I figured a bit of total True Blood ignorance would be a pleasant change of pace to my constant Prometheus/Spidey bitching. Question: Can I assume Chris Meloni&apos;s True Blood character is the same fridge-humping cafeteria worker he played in Wet Hot American Summer? &apos;Cause that would be pretty awesome.

      Science has yet to isolate and identify the strain of the gene that makes game developers and fans alike to think that a game based on a movie based on a game is a good idea, but we know it exists. How? Because every couple of years this bizarre phenomenon pops up. It isn&apos;t even really a trend in gaming since over the years you can count the total number of times telephone has been played with a game-related intellectual property on one hand. The thumb on this mutated hand flicks out with Battleship: The Video Game (which has been met with skeptical scorn), which was inspired by the Battleship film (which has been met with derisive eye rolls so violent literally half of America has gone blind). But it&apos;s not the only time developers have tried to make a game out of what was originally a game and somehow failed miserably.
