Don't Believe the Anti-Hype

March 28, 2007 by Bartoneus

No Random Encounter this week, I’m too busy prepping for next week’s excellence! ‘Nerd Culture’ is a very unique thing; we place much of our spirits upon movies and games, the things which entertain us the most. We become inextricably attached to these things, and we grow to love or nurture them, investing a part […]

300 Week

March 27, 2007 by Bartoneus

I figure we might as well call this 300 week, as nearly every post will apparently be about the movie in some way! I wanted to share a couple of the very funny parody images I’d seen around the net, if you find more please share them and I’ll add them in! Edit by TheGame: […]

Inq. of the Week: For Violence!

March 26, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week’s Inquisition turned out a bit skewed, as some one/thing decided to spam vote for Superman 24 times in a row one morning.  Adjusting for this, the end results included 46 votes and I’d like to thank everyone who voted (and didn’t cheat) for participating!  It turns out the most of you (28%) would […]

Antarctica: Explored

March 23, 2007 by Bartoneus

The Washington Post has put up a very interesting article about one of the Earth’s most over-looked continents, Antarctica.  What you will find at the site is a collection of breath-taking images of snow, rock, blue skies, and explorers as well as videos and sound bites from the expedition.  Many of which end up looking digitally altered due to the […]

Nostradamus Called It

March 21, 2007 by Bartoneus

A quickie for this week, which disheartens me because of the last two weeks missed, bringing my tally for the year to -3 comics from the goal. I keep not illusions of necessarily ending the year in the positive, simply an improvement over last year will suit me well enough, but I wouldn’t have set […]

WoW Action Figures Update

March 21, 2007 by Bartoneus

To tide you over until the Random Encounter is up later today, I wanted to fulfill one of my promises made back in early February.  I said that I would post images of the World of Warcraft action figures as soon as they came out, but as I don’t visit the WoW homepage very often I must […]

Can't Wait for Spiderman 3

March 15, 2007 by Bartoneus

My lovely wife pointed the way to some IMDb boards (login necessary) with some killer sneak peaks at Topher Grace as Venom.  I’ve been curious since the villains were announced what Venom in physical form would end up looking like, and it appears that now I have my first good glimpses.  The IMDb boards point […]

A Bucket of Bolts Mailbox

March 13, 2007 by Bartoneus

 Thanks to Jami over at his blog AZM for posting this one; I just couldn’t pass up posting it.  Apparently the USPS is celebrating Star Wars’ 30th anniversary by unleashing a mob of R2-D2 mailboxes, which if nothing else look pretty darn interesting. “There are 80-something postal districts around the country, most of which are getting four of the […]

Inq. of the Week: Sparta!

March 12, 2007 by Bartoneus

Last week we decided to test another actor vs. self poll, between Saruman the White, Dracula, and Count Dooku.  Out of 30 votes, it looks like 40% of you chose Saruman, 40% chose Dracula, with the remaining piddly 20%  going to Dooku.  I have to agree, while some readers questioned the abilities and frailties of good old fellow Dracul, […]

"The City is Afraid of Me."

March 9, 2007 by Bartoneus

Thanks to TheMainEvent, who showed me this excellent news. Apparently in a trailer for 300 (which I’ll be seeing tonight around 8:15) there is a hidden image of some importance. The image appears at 1 minute 52 seconds (3:38 in reverse time) into the youtube uncut and extended trailer. Yep, that’s right! It’s pretty much […]
