LED Watches and Laser Pointer

 Right on the heels of Stacking's release and the ipad screen protector announcement of a new Sesame Street game, Double Fine revealed its latest downloadable title during last night's Game Developers Choice Awards ceremony.

 

Trenched's trailer shows aliens or robots invading the United States. The country's military has been decimated with the exception of the Mobile Trench Brigade. The gameplay footage shown looks like a new MechAssault game with customizable mechs. It's mentioned that there are "stationary defenses," making it sound as if there might be tower defense elements.

 

Trenched will be exclusively available on the Xbox Live Arcade. No release date has been announced. PS3 fans, are you tired of hearing from your friends with Xbox 360s about how incredibly awesome Call of Duty: Black Ops First Strike Map Pack DLC is? Well wake up, because your time has come! We're giving away ip camera download codes all day!

 

For those of you who already own Blops on 360, you should pay attention too - we're giving away Playstation 3 consoles as well! Either way, here's how to frag the competition: It looks like the Retronauts podcast just might be back for good thanks to its new call-in format. Episodes 1 and 2 of Retronauts Live have been a huge success, so now we're branching out into things that don't involve The Legend of Zelda. Unfortunately, we're not straying too far away just yet: this Friday's episode will focus on the electronic cigarette history of Pokémon.

 

Too much Nintendo, too soon? Yeah, maybe. But come on; the series celebrated its 15th anniversary a few days ago, and the fifth generation (Black & White) are due for release on Sunday. Why, we'd be downright irresponsible not to commemorate its history.

Google wrote on its blog that you may not see the site disappear right away if you simply refresh your browser with the same search, but running a new search should get that domain out of your face for good. "The next time you’re searching and a blocked page would have appeared, you’ll see a message telling you results have been blocked, making it easy to manage your personal list of blocked sites," Google Search quality engineers LED Watch Amay Champaneria and Beverly Yang wrote. "This message will appear at the top or bottom of the results page depending on the relevance of the blocked pages.

 

But what if a huge group of people—say, Anonymous—decide to block the same site thousands of times in hopes of getting it demoted by Google's algorithm? Google says it's not currently using the blacklists as a signal in ranking, but "we’ll look at the data and see whether it would be useful as we continue to evaluate and improve our search results in the future."  So, it's possible that the blacklists could affect page rank one day, but it's not happening right now.  Like all Google updates, this one is rolling Laser pointer out slowly over a period of days and currently only works for those using Chrome 9+, IE8+, and Firefox 3.5+ (sorry Safari and Opera users).
