Ia Ia Etc Etc

September 26, 2007 by Dave

Yeah, so, pretty much inevitable: LOLCats + Cthulhu = LOLTHULHU. My favorite so far is “I HAS A COLOR, IT FROM BEYOND SPACE.” Meanwhile, SuicideGirls News [NSFW] argues that a mysterious undersea noise coming from a gigantic undersea creature (known to scientists as the Bloop) actually already has a name.

YouTube of the Week: Let's Blow This Thing Edition

September 25, 2007 by Dave

Music from the Star Wars musical synched to the original footage. I was reminded of it after the excellent Family Guy Star Wars episode last Sunday.

First Impressions: Chuck, Heroes, and Journeyman

September 24, 2007 by Dave

I caught NBC’s Monday premieres tonight: the series premieres of Chuck and Journeyman, and the season premiere of Heroes. Here’s my quick thoughts: Chuck was a lot better than I was expecting. It’s not the out and out comedy that the commercials make it out to be, but it was very well directed (by McG, […]

Review: The Film Crew: "Killers from Space"

September 23, 2007 by Dave

In High School, nearly every Saturday at Sion‘s house meant three things for me: GURPS, Swiss Cake Rolls, and Mystery Science Theater 3000. We were big fans of the show, and kicked off many a game session with a bad movie. Of course, when the show went off the air (with an excellent finale) we […]

Robert Jordan, We Will Miss You

September 17, 2007 by Bartoneus

It is with a heavy heart that I report that Robert Jordan died yesterday, September 16th at 2:45 pm. He was 58 years old, and most of you should know him as the author of the very popular Wheel of Time series. I was particularly sad to see this news because my wife and I […]

Inq. of the Week: Science Fiction/Fantasy Fall Shows

September 17, 2007 by Dave

Will the Playstation 3 make a come back? Survey says… no. The 360 and the Wii seem to have no sign of slowing down, and the PS3 is just too far behind to make a come back. Sony is still a big company with plenty of capital behind it, so I’d be surprised if the […]

Real Ultimate Showdown Round 1

September 13, 2007 by Dave

[This round is over, go vote in the FINAL ROUND] Many a rivalry is legendary. Pirates vs. Ninjas. Robots vs. Zombies. Werewolves vs. Unicorns. But which one of these groups is truly best? joshx0rfz and I were talking about how the Muse video that was posted yesterday was all kinds of awesomeness, and discussed what […]

Sweet Merciful Crap

September 12, 2007 by Bartoneus

What makes one damn good music video? One of the best songs in the universe, that’s what!

"It's like… has anyone seen that movie Tron?"

September 11, 2007 by Dave

I’m not sure what else I can say about this, other than at least it’s not a remake. Maybe they’ll get the cast of Babylon 5 in it again!
