http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/01/500x_jack_bauer.jpgIt's not really fair. The Kotaku morning crew gets Talk Amongst Yourselves (http://kotaku.com/tag/talkamongstyourselves), the open thread that commenters control, where (almost) anything goes. What does the Kotaku night crew get? The vastly superior Off Topic (http://kotaku.com/tag/offtopic/), starting today.
What is Off Topic? Well, it's not really about video games, but it's also open to video game discussion. It's an end of day link dump, a nightly open thread for us to share the best and worst of the web, hopefully just a step or two away from the expected area of coverage. We give you links and potentially interesting topics of discussion and you, hopefully, do the same. Cool?
Here's what I was reading/watching/enjoying over the past few days.
'Heroes' is most-pirated TV show of 2009 (http://www.thresq.com/2010/01/top-pirated-tv-shows-2009.html) - It's a shame. What, exactly, I'm not sure yet.
Soundgarden to reunite (http://soundgardenworld.com/) - Gosh, I hope this doesn't mean an end to Chris Cornell solo albums!
The Danish cartoonist who survived an axe attack (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jan/04/danish-cartoonist-axe-attack) - Editorial cartoons still serious business.
2009 US Movie Box Office (http://www.xach.com/moviecharts/2009.html) - A lovely, informative graph that contains Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
The G-spot 'doesn't appear to exist', say researchers (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8439000.stm) - We have no counter-evidence.
VH1 Reality Show Bus Crashes In California Causing Major Slut Spill (http://www.theonion.com/content/video/vh1_reality_show_bus_crashes_in) - Gave my commute gonorrhea.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USg7oX-y3nc - Damn it! Now I'm interested!
