Such Wondrous Dimensions

November 7, 2007 by Bartoneus

I really could not resist coming up with a few joke ideas for the RPG Superstar contest, the problem is that I’m also very interested in seriously entering but all I have spent time on is things like you see here.  It seems like some of the steps in this contest will be harder to […]

YouTubes of the Week: No Connection At All Edition

October 30, 2007 by Dave

Two videos I just had to blog about this week, but they’re both short. The first, “Mike Tyson’s Brunch Out” which is hilarious and difficult to describe. And after the jump, the first trailer for the first Dragonlance animated movie… and boy, it does not look good, despite some awesome voice talent.

YouTube of the Week: Sorta Lightsabers Edition

October 16, 2007 by Dave

Inq. of the Week: Famous Dragons

October 15, 2007 by Dave

Of course, the original Nintendo Entertainment System rules the day as most owned console, and indeed, the greatest. Playstation 2 came in second, with third being the original Playstation, and the Super Nintendo close behind. At the bottom end, nobody owned a Neo Geo (and you thought the PS3 was expensive.) Only one person admitted […]

YouTube of the Week: Exterminate the Flab Edition

A Dalek workout video. Not sure why I think this is so funny, except I always find the Dalek voices hilarious.
