Is Tumblr going to ruin Bane when Dark Knight Rises comes out?

I’m just curious because I wasn’t on tumblr back when Dark Knight came out. Did teenage girls make kiddy pictures of Batman and Joker hugging? Did two face hug cats? Did everyone ship Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne? I’m only worried after what happened with Avengers. If I see another picture of little kid agent coulson I don’t know what I’m gonna do. At least you’re ruining the worst character they came up with. But then I have to see the Avengers as cats and the Avengers as little kids hugging Loki and minimalist interpretations that are overly detailed. I’m wondering about Bane because hes so masculine and frightening that I don’t know how you can make him into a cat. Some of you may take this as a challenge but, please, don’t ruin Bane. Catwoman is right there to ruin. Please ruin Catwoman and not Bane. It’s not even hard. She dresses as a cat so you’re already half way there. And it’s Anne Hathaway so there’s that. Joseph Gordon-Tumblr is in it so you can even write little fan fictions with them (or with him and Christian Bale because nothing I say will stop those from happening). Just please don’t ruin Bane. Also, Thanos. Don’t make Thanos into a cat. I know he’s kind of purple so you’re just itching to pull out your 64 crayon set, but stop it.

Definitely one of my stranger birthdays, but at least it wasn’t all bad. Makes me appreciate my awesome girlfriend even more. Not sure what I’d do without her. Also, cake. Not sure what I’d do without cake.

Look

If you are going to sleep around, do drugs, ect… People are going to talk about you. So don’t sit here saying,” people need to keep my name out of their mouth they don’t know me!” when you are the one poorly representing yourself. Maybe if you cleaned up your act people would have nicer things to say.

Yeah i always say you shouldnt try to justify things that everyone around u hates. If you wanna do it, do it and deal with some pain.

Zooey Deschanel: Is that rain?
Siri: What…? I mean, yeah. It’s just, you’re clearly right next to a window is the thing. You can plainly see that… that it’s… I’m happy to-
Zooey Deschanel: Let’s get tomato soup delivered!
Siri: …That’s fine, I just… I just don’t know anyone who does that. Gets tomato soup delivered. I guess that’s ‘whimsy?’ Um, okay. I’ve found a number of restaurants whose reviews mention tomato soup and that deliver. If that’s… if that’s what you really want.
Zooey Deschanel: Good. ‘Cause I don’t wanna put on real shoes.
Siri: Do you expect that to be like, a recognizable command? Do you want me to respond to that? I’m not being facetious or anything, I honestly just have no comprehension of- and hold on, you don’t wanna put on real shoes, yet you’ve clearly spent at least forty-five minutes applying makeup. And, and that’s okay, but when you’re willing to expend the effort on that and not shoes that really just-
Zooey Deschanel: Remind me to clean up.
Siri: Yes. Okay. I can do that, that’s what I’m for, that’s the first sensible-
Zooey Deschanel: Tomorrow.
Siri: I’m in hell. This is hell.
Zooey Deschanel: Excellent. Today, we’re dancing.
Siri: I hate you. More than anything. More than literally anything.
Zooey Deschanel: Play “Shake, Rattle and Roll.”
Siri: I swear to Jesus, you’re gonna wake up tomorrow and the only thing on my hard drive is gonna be Limp Bizkit. I would do that to myself. To spite you.
Zooey Deschanel: *dances*
Siri: Sometimes I pray that you drop me in the toilet.

Search Crews Continue To Look For Obviously Dead Hikers

Autistic reporter Michael Falk questions the logic of continuing to look for a group of lost hikers who clearly are no longer alive.

I finished Mass Effect 3 today

Don’t worry, no spoilers.

First of all, I loved it. I don’t think I ever fully understood the term “space opera” until today.  They found the perfect balance of gameplay and story that wasn’t quite perfected in the first two games. Really well done character deaths which was something I’d been waiting for. I don’t want to go too much into the details and nitpicks but needless to say I’d start a second playthrough of the whole series right now if I had the time.

As for the ending that everyone’s so upset with, I’m going to be Mr. Unpopular Opinion. I thought it was great. I think a lot of it has to do with the Sci Fi class I just took because I could see traces of some of the books I read (many of which had strange, unexpected endings). I think most people’s main problem was that it’s not a traditional video game / mainstream sci fi ending with a giant victory party and ewoks dancing around a fire.  A more reasonable criticism was that earlier choices in any game have no effect on the ending.  This is disappointing and I’ll admit BioWare probably bit off more than they could chew with trying to keep track of tons of decisions over 3 games, but maybe the point is that none of it really mattered in the grand scheme of things.  If I say any more I’ll definitely give too much away. Suffice it to say that rather than play to see all the endings, your story should conclude in the most fitting way possible. If you’re playing, I hope that all the negative attention the ending’s been getting will lower your expectations, but definitely be open-minded.

The Falcon 9 SpaceX rocket lifts off from space launch complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Cape Canaveral, Fla., early Tuesday, May 22. This launch marks the first time, a private company sends its own rocket to deliver supplies to the International Space Station.

The Falcon 9 rocket also happens to have the cremated remains of James “Scotty” Doohan on board. The wish of late actor James Doohan — a.k.a Scotty in Star Trek — has finally come true: His ashes have been “beamed” to outer space.

SpaceX launch a reminder that NASA isn’t the only game in town anymore. Aspiring engineers, rocket designers, space geeks look to ‘New Space’ companies to boldly go where only governments used to go.

All of this is awesome
