Kotaku Off-Topic: Oh, Hell, When is Daylight Saving Time Again? [How Is This News?]

Surprise, it’s not today. Made you look! Which I had to do because, once upon a time, we had these things called “newspapers” and on the day of the switch, if all else failed, the front page reminded you. Instead it is next week, March 14. That’s when you take that bonus hour of sleep that feels so good and put it in the bank for October. Meantime, occupy yourselves with whatever’s on your mind. Here’s a quartet of conversation starters for you: Tonight, of course, the 82nd Academy Awards will be broadcast at 8:30 p.m. U.S. Eastern/5:30 p.m. Pacific. Apparently they fired Wolverine, so Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are your hosts. The joke’s been done to death, but I secretly hope for some kind of “Coffee’s for Closers” sendup. Here’s some advice. If your license has been suspended for five years, you can’t drive any vehicle that doesn’t have the blow-and-go breathalyzer, and the day before you have been convicted of another DUI, and despite all of that should you still choose to drive, don’t do so while shaving your genitals . Blade Runner’s emotional climax – in LEGO . And this still chokes me up. We post our share of crafts sold through the site Etsy – here’s a repository of those that never should have been made in the first place.

Gearbox Said Nothankyou.jpg To A Blade Runner Game [Gearbox]

Here’s a story close to our hearts . Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has revealed that his studio recently wanted to develop a Blade Runner game. A game that, sadly, never saw the light of day. “One of my partners, Brian Martell, had Blade Runner on the list [of IPs we wanted to use],” he told the Official Xbox Magazine. “We chased it down and we coulda had it. But that one failed on the business side, because the way we wanted to do it we wanted to spend 25 million dollars. And when you do the math on that, we weren’t going to make it back.” Shame. Then again, the world already has a Blade Runner game and , advanced years or not, it’s fantastic. So it’s not a total loss. And what is it with Gearbox and movie adaptations? Blade Runner, Aliens, Heat …what’s next, Robot Jox? Because that would be awesome . Gearbox: Blade Runner canned because it wouldn’t sell [OXM]
