Mark the date, ladies. It's September 5, 2012, and Late Night Computing demands your attention.

Every time new content is added to one of the streaming services I subscribed to (disclosure: I use Netflix and Amazon Prime), I do a little happy dance. Much to my surprise, Netflix added Dinosaurs to its instant library this week, and I couldn't be more thrilled. I've been giggling like a little school girl every time the Baby shows his smug little face, probably more out of nostalgia than anything.

Now, if Amazon or Netflix would just add streaming access to Boy Meets World, I'd be a happy camper!

• "So I know we've had a lot of threads lately where people express how jaded they are with games and how they have no more time or motivation to play through their backlog, but isn't it a great feeling when you are able to get back into it after a long break? For the past few months I've also been pretty apathetic toward games but a few weeks ago a sudden wave of fanatical gaming zeal swept over me. Now all I can think about is getting home from work and parking my ass in front of my computer for six straight hours. It's always nice when you're able to break out of that rut and get a strong, reinvigorated interest in our favorite pastime and I can safely say I haven't had this level of fervor since I was a child. Guild Wars 2, Darksiders, Dark Souls, the list goes on. What are you guys playing at the moment?" [by The Grolar Bear]

• Red Eclipse Galactic Edition 1.3.1 free game. "Red Eclipse is a free and open source game using SDL and OpenGL. It's a single-player and multi-player first-person ego-shooter, built as a total conversion of Cube Engine 2, which lends itself toward a balanced gameplay, completely at the control of map makers, while maintaining a general theme of agility in a variety of environments. The game consists of a variety of modes, which can be extended with any of twelve "mutators". For example, the 'Capture the Flag' mode can be used in conjunction with the 'Instagib' and 'Jetpack' mutators, changing how the game is played. This allows players to experience more flexibility and variety when playing the same mode. There are also seven mode-exclusive mutators, which can only be played in certain modes." Download the free game for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
