This last Friday the cartoon Star Wars: The Clone Wars premiered on Cartoon Network in the form of two episodes. I caught them because I’m a nerd, Star Wars geek, and was one of the five people that liked the version that was in theaters. Hell, not only did I like it but I vigorously defended it. So it was a little disappointing that the first episode was pretty shitty.
mundAIM is the creation of a Mr. Jacob Baake who in addition to being a crime fighting unicorn is also a spectacular comic book colorist who also has some groovy illustration skills. His coloring work has appeared in many places, most notably in the pages of Hector plasm and Popgun. mundAIM features real life IM conversations between Jacob and his friends that are a dozen times funnier than your average Garfield strip at worst and pure Comedy Gold at it’s best.
Remember kids, talent shouldn’t starve. You can get a nifty Baake designed shirt here:
I’ve got to take a moment and break from the robot and boob talk to relate to you a small incident from my life. My wife has aspirations to go to law school and in order to do that you must take an LSat. This last Sunday we took a trip to the test location at The University of Santa Clara to scope the area out.
If there’s one thing that the Bible has taught me, it’s that Dungeons and Dragons is evil. The tool of the devil, which disguises itself as a “game”, is a gateway to the world of the occult and Satan worship. In order to better illustrate this I’m posting Dark Dungeons, an informative little piece written in the early eighties that I should have known existed, but didn’t until I discovered it in a Topless Robot article.
You can’t tell me there’s not at least one fatty that plays with this group. This is also the only D&D session in the history of mankind where the number of girls equals the number of guys and there’s a hot female DM.
While not being the most spectacular show on television, The Sarah Connor Chronicles does a very good job of not being completely offensive to Terminator fans and that’s the least we could ask. However, there is one aspect of the show that’s completely unbelievable… John Connor never tries to have sex with his Terminator protector-bot, Cameron.
I’m a big fan of Aliens vs. Predator and Peanut Butter vs. Jelly, but I’ve never been a big fan of Robocop vs. Terminator. However, this fan made video is friggen awesome. I can’t believe how well this thing was handled. It looks like the characters are actually together in the same scene, which is pretty hard to pull off.
My one gripe is the Predator would never do that. He’s not some D bag that drops an ultimate weapon on someone, that’s a last resort thing. Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m a freakish geek. Hide your children.
If you haven’t read a lot of comics lately, then you might not know that they’ve been taken over by huge mega events that are impossible to follow for a casual comics fan. I managed to read the entire Countdown to Final Crisis event that DC had about a year or so ago and… well I wish I had that time back. Still, there was one thing that made it worth reading:
Atomic Knights whose trusty mounts are Dalmatians. I don’t think I need to clarify why that’s an omega level of awesome.
