Tecmo Koei has released some details about a mode found in the upcoming Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z which presents cutscenes with chunky sprites and plays in a 2D scrolling mode, an homage to the original NES and arcade games from the franchise. Unlocked through progress in the main game, Tecmo Koei has stated that "Ninja Gaiden Z" mode will feature a high level of difficulty.

I still have no idea what to make of Yaiba. Part of me wants to appreciate that it's not yet another overblown major franchise entry, none of which I've found to be particularly enjoyable since it went to 3D. And this mode seems designed to speak to that, but it doesn't succeed in making the product feel more attractive. I can't tell if I'm going to love it because it's crazy and exciting or hate it because it's confusing and base, whether what I feel about it is anticipation or dread.

In 2012, just over half of all Internet traffic came from bots and, according to the latest data from security CDN service Incapsula, this year the number has increased to 61.5 percent.

At first glance, this sounds like this means the number of nefarious attacks is up, but Incapsula actually notes that the bulk of growth in this number is due to what it calls “good bots.” Visits from certified agents from search engines and similar tools increased from 20 percent to 31 percent, for example. According to Incapsula, many search engines have lately increased their sampling rates. In addition, the SEO tools that try to help websites rank higher once they are crawled, also now often visit sites more often than ever before.

About a third of bots, the company argues, are malicious, but thanks to Google’s Penguin update making comment spam relatively useless as an SEO technique, the number of spam bots has decreased from 2 percent in 2012 to just 0.5 percent this year.

What’s up, though, is the number of bots that try to impersonate a real use. Incapsula believes most of these are “automated spy bots, human-like DDoS agents or a Trojan-activated barebones browsers.”

One thing to note here is that Incapsula gathered this data by looking at stats from its own 20,000 customers. The companies that sign up for the kinds of security services the company offers may not be exactly representative of the Internet as a whole. Not every site, for example, has to deal with regular DDoS attacks and needs Incapsula to mitigate these. Still, the company’s data clearly shows that the number of bots is on the rise, though the numbers for your own site will likely be quite a bit different.

What would the world look like if you could see cell phone radiation? Artist Nickolay Lamm has tried to answer that question. In July, Lamm released a series of illustrations imagining a Washington, D.C., where Wi-Fi was visible, bathing famous sites in a rainbow of colors. On Wednesday, he finished a sequel of sorts -- a series of pictures of U.S. cities and landmarks, this time with cell phone radiation visible as a hazy, multicolored, strangely geometric overlay. ...

The trailers for Cark Rinsch‘s samurai epic 47 Ronin have not been short on action or spectacle. But if you were too busy being dazzled by the colorful, fantastical CG effects to pay attention to the story, the new short 47 Ronin: The Way of the Warrior should help set you straight.

The animated prequel delves into who, exactly, the titular 47 Ronin are, and how they got to a place where Keanu Reeves is their only hope. Check it out after the jump.

Crave Online debuted the video.

It’s not nearly as attention-grabbing as the trailers for the actual movie have been, and the story might be more exciting if it weren’t so simplistic. But it does a lot to explain the world of the movie, like the code of honor that these characters live by and the fantastical creatures that populate their world. Plus, there are some lovely images to look at in the meantime.

47 Ronin opens Christmas Day. Rinko Kikuchi, Tadanobu Asano, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Kô Shibasaki also star.

Keanu Reeves makes an explosive return to action-adventure in 47 Ronin. After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and restore honor to their people. Driven from their homes and dispersed across the land, this band of Ronin must seek the help of Kai (Reeves) — a half-breed they once rejected — as they fight their way across a savage world of mythic beasts, shape-shifting witchcraft and wondrous terrors.

As this exiled, enslaved outcast becomes their most deadly weapon, he will transform into the hero who inspires this band of outnumbered rebels to seize eternity.

Helmed by director Carl Rinsch (The Gift), 47 Ronin is produced by Scott Stuber (Ted, Identity Thief), Pamela Abdy (Identity Thief, upcoming Kill the Messenger) and Eric McLeod (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Austin Powers series).

The vetting of a sign language interpreter who got within three feet of world leaders including President Barack Obama during Nelson Mandela's memorial was called into question Thursday after organizers admitted they were unaware of his violent history of schizophrenic episodes.

US Airways recently introduced a special half fare for wives who accompanied their husbands on business trips.

Expecting valuable testimonials, the PR department sent out letters to all the wives of businessmen who had used the special rates, asking how they enjoyed their trip.

Letters are still pouring in asking, "What trip?"

Turkey-ricotta burgers cook up incredibly moist, with a fluffy, yielding texture and tons of flavor. [Photograph: Lauren Rothman]

I love making turkey burgers: ground turkey, which can be kind of bland, is a perfect vehicle for a variety of spices and flavorings. When I cook beef burgers, I always keep things simple with plenty of salt and freshly ground black pepper; with turkey I tend to go pretty crazy, never making my burgers the same way twice but always adding plenty of dried and fresh herbs, spices, and often a dollop of something moist and fatty like yogurt to keep the meat juicy as it cooks.

I seem to have extraordinary luck with these turkey burgers, and they always come out great. So when I was recently mulling over the idea of a "meat lite" turkey burger—seems like an oxymoron, doesn't it?—the nutty idea of replacing quite a bit of the turkey meat with rich, milky ricotta cheese flew into my mind, and I decided to just go for it, whipping up a turkey and ricotta mixture folded through with soft leeks and garlic, accented with fresh dill, and all fried up in a cast-iron pan.

People: I had never made these "burgers" before tonight, and they are singularly the best turkey burger I have ever cooked or eaten. The light, delicate meat mixture barely bound with just a bit of fresh breadcrumbs and broken up here and there by the oniony sweetness of caramelized leeks cooks up incredibly moist, with a fluffy, yielding texture and so much flavor that the burgers barely need any condiments, just a warm toasted bun. My days of kitchen-sink turkey burgers are over: this is the only recipe I'll need from now on.
