I am fortunate enough to have a fairly unimportant job. I spend most of my time either cranking out programs, cranking out articles, or cranking out various substances which I'm told are "inappropriate to discuss on a professional website." All but that last one require me to work at a keyboard, which means that the occasional typo is inevitable. For me, the worst that usually happens is a bad compile or some embarrassment. For some, the consequences can be slightly worse.

Just in case you weren't anticipating Civ V eagerly enough, it looks like you'll be able to get your hands on some bonus material if you pick it up on Steam! Not only that, but it will make use of Steamworks, so Steam integration should be pretty complete. Read on for the official release from 2K Games.

It is hard to stand out sometimes. There are seven billion people in the world, which means that even if you are a one in a million kind of guy there are seven THOUSAND people out there just like you. Even if you are a one in a billion kind of guy, your duplicates could form a boy band and leave you out. With so many people striving for all of the same things, getting what you're after is tough. Fame? Fortune? Get in line, pal. The secret to achieving greatness, then, is to find your niche. As always, BrainLazy is here to show you where there are still plenty of opportunities.

B movies are great. Awful effects, awful acting, awful plots. They are great because they try so hard to be good and fail on every level. It is different when a show or film actually has a chance to be good. Decent acting, reasonable plot, and then comes the wretched effect that causes you to change the channel. Good effects can help, sure, but bad effects? Well, sometimes they can be worse than nothing at all.

BrainLazy has existed for a while, but it wasn't until PAX East this year that we actually grew a beard and started pumping out consistent material. As part of that push, we got set up with Google Analytics to see if we could quantify our swift and steady decent into irrelevancy following our convention coverage. While we haven?t quite shriveled up and blown away as completely as I'd expected, I sure learned a lot of wacky stuff from Google's data. From constructive ignorance to friendly Australians, let's do it top 10 style.
