Baby Jesus Hates The Troops

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

Why else would Evangelical Christian group Operation Standup (which is actually just a clever anagram of their true name, “Porn Audio Patents”) send our fighting men and women crappy video games like Left Behind: Eternal Forces?
The game, which raised the ire of many activist groups for its promotion of killing and converting non-Christians, will come [...]

Trash Gordon

Monday, August 13th, 2007

I’m not sure where SciFi got the idea that Flash Gordon fans were clamoring for a watered-down, understated series produced with a small budget, scatter shot story, and complete lack of chemistry between the leads, but that’s exactly what they produced.

From Yahoo News:

So who’s copying who now?

Re-Animated Corpse of Stan Lee Is Kind Of A Dick

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Led on less by any true entertainment value and more by sheer morbid curiosity, I am currently choking down the second season of Who Wants to be a Superhero.

Your Friday Glimpse Into Madness

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

Y’all are complete Youtube slackers this week. Fortunately Colin came through, proving he’s not just about the robot soccer:

So. Cute.
Colin informs me this is “an octopus larva.” (originally seen here1.) As if. Colin is obviously R’lyeh’s Minister of Information. “Just an octopus larva, nothing to see here, you are not being [...]

Life’s a Litch: New WoW Expansion FAQ Revealed

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

Or so we’re being asked to believe.

All you need to know: The level cap has been raised to 80.  Yaaaay, time to put on yer grindin’ boots! (Snarky purists will also note that WoW most certainly copied this [...]
