So, somehow the Meet the Spy video from Valve’s tactical team combat based shooter Team Fortress 2 was leaked.  Anyway, here it is:

I was looking at my “recommended videos” on YouTube the other day, and guess which videos it recommended for me? Two Rick Astely songs, “Never Gonna Give You Up” aka “Rick Roll” and “Whenever You Need.”  Now I know I’ve been rick rolled a few times, but enough times for it to recommend similar, or in this case, the same, video to me?

Sorry for the bad quality of the screen cap, mspaint sucks at compressing GIFs.  Also what the hell is with the other three videos it recommended for me?

I usually don’t get excited over movie trailers… but the new trailer for Moon has me wishing June 12th would come sooner.  Sam Rockwell looks amazing, albeit from the trailer alone.  He was most notably and recently in Frost/Nixon and before that Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.   Apple has this to say about it:

It is the near future. Astronaut Sam Bell is living on the far side of the moon, completing a three-year contract with Lunar Industries to mine Earth’s primary source of energy, Helium-3. It is a lonely job, made harder by a broken satellite that allows no live communications home. Taped messages are all Sam can send and receive. Thankfully, his time on the moon is nearly over, and Sam will be reunited with his wife, Tess, and their three-year-old daughter, Eve, in only a few short weeks. Finally, he will leave the isolation of “Sarang,” the moon base that has been his home for so long, and he will finally have someone to talk to beyond “Gerty,” the base’s well-intentioned, but rather uncomplicated computer.

It looks like a much needed diversion from modern sci-fi’s “pew pew” to a more restrained and psychological, an old throwback to the Arthur C. Clarke days.   Well, what are you waiting for? Go watch the trailer. Now.
