So sayeth american scientists. According to Rebecca Bendic from University of Montana and Roger Bilham from University of Colorado, the increased number of earthquakes (first time I hear of earthquakes being a more common occurence nowadays) are taking place due to our planet’s moon slowing down Earth’s circumvolution. What is more, this process will only increase over time, eventually leading to Earth’s day being 648 hours (twenty seven days) long. This process will take its sweet time, though – it will take millions of years before humanity would any significant ...

Genesis is being made by Airship Syndicate, a somewhat obscure studio composed partly of the people who made the first Darksiders game. Sounds good.Game’s trailer can be watched ...
