Biggest Nerd Ever? Red Shirt Guy kind of schools World of Warcraft I'm a geek, a pop cultural geek, but even I can't beak the level of nerd this Red Shirt guy is on. They might as well crown him the king of Fanboys. Sadly, there is a guy exactly like him at my work, except the guy I know is skinny. We call him Halo-Reach-around, because he's a big Halo fan. I kind of like that the Red Shirt Guy actually knows more about the WOW universe than the actual creators. I don't think he got any XP on that attack though. I love the reaction from the creators. When I first heard his voice, I thought, “Man, this guy is never going to get a girlfriend.” I'll give him points for actually going up and asking questions and not being scared of the Nerd Backlash, but damn this video is funny. Remixed Red Shirt Guy The Red Shirt Guy made a response to his new found Nerd fame. Was this an epic win or fail?  

Scooby-doo: Google Style Google, I love you. Thanks for dropping in some Scooby-Doo cartoons. If you go to the main Google page, you will see some really cool Scooby-Doo cartoon images that you can scroll through. It images actually tell a complete story.    When I first saw this picture I didn't notice the Mystery Van in the back. I thought it was some random cartoon characters from a newer show. ________________________________________________________________   I've noticed that they've really updated Velma's character model. They've slimmed her down considerably. It probably has to do with Linda Cardellini's portray of her in the live action films. I kind of liked the old character model because she was a little dumpy and rounder. Now, she's almost as skinny as Daphne. You should also notice the basketball players in the background. Is that a reference to the Harlem Globetrotters?    ________________________________________________________...

Charlie Chaplin Time Traveling mystery…not really. Yep, there were people believing that there was a cell phone in the Charlie Chaplin movie “The Circus”.   This movie came out in 1928, so people were wondering if the movie makers caught a time-traveling woman on film.   Uh, yeah… George Clarke discovered the cell phone footage.   I can see why he thought he saw a cell phone, but it looks like someone actually found out what the woman was holding in her hand .   It was a Siemens hearing aid.   Will we ever meet some time travelers?   Probably not. Sorry, Charlie…(yes I went there)

 New Coke: Brad Tries New Coke ( Wiki page ) I wrote about New Coke back in 2007 , but I wanted to bring it back for this video. I'm a huge Coca-Cola fan, so this video brought back memories. I like 80s Guy bit. I had no idea New Coke (Coke II) was still around in the 2000s in the US. To show my age, I remember drinking New Coke and I hated the new formula. I actually thought New Coke tasted more like Pepsi. And to be fair, the Coke Classic formula isn't the original formula anyway. It has a different taste than the old Coke before the New Coke Change over. And, Brad is right that Mexican Coke is the original coke formula. Mexican Cokes are much sweater than the (New) Classic Coke formula. Actually, I am going to the store and pick up some Mexican Coke. Pepsi takes a jab at New Coke Info on New Coke

Batman: Under the Red Hood Based loosely on the comic book stories “Death in the Family” and “Under the Red Hood”, this gritty Batman animated movie is dark and entertaining with amazing animation thrown in for good measure.   The Joker ends up capturing the second Robin (Jason Todd).   He beats the young sidekick with a crowbar to near death.   The Joker then blows up Robin right before Batman can get there to save him.   A few years later, Batman discovers that there is a new villain bringing all the mobsters and drug dealers into one group.   These groups of mobsters have to go by strict rules under the regulation of the Red Hood.   The new Red Hood also has a beef with both Batman and The Joker.   Black Mask, who control most of the crime world in Gotham City, isn’t too pleased about this new character.   This home-DVD story is an extremely well put together Batman movie.   It’s dark and violent with a tragic emotional story.   The ...

Halloween for Adults? I partly agree with him, but I really like the sexy female Halloween costumes…when the woman actually has the body to pull off the costume. By the way, just Google Image Sexy Halloween Costumes and see what you get.  But, yeah, we kind of forget that this is more of a children’s holiday than anything else.  But, it just gives people another excuse to dress in goofy outfits, get drunk and get screwed.  And, not always in that order either. Plus, this post gives me another excuse to post more sexy Halloween pictures…   Ghostbusters:  Sadly, most women between the age of 18 to 22 will probably have no idea what a Ghostbuster really is, and they’ve probably never seen the movie.   __________________________________________________ Uh, we can’t get a Supergirl remake off the ground yet?  Note:  Look at the directions the fanboys are looking in the picture.  At least act like you’re not checking them out. ...

Danno:  "Hey,  Jack Lord , William Shatner called and he wants his ego back." ________________________________________________________ Random Things ~ House of the Dead reviewed by Phelous . I got a kick out this review. I actually watched about 30 minutes of the House of Dead. I couldn't get through the random clips of the game-play footage that Boll put into the film. It just makes the movie even more awkward than it should be. Bad music and bad editing makes this one of Boll's worst movies by far. I have to get enough courage to sit through this movie. I'm guessing a cable channel will show this movie again during the Halloween season. ~ James MacArthur passes away: He was the character Danno on Hawaii Five-O. The main character would always say, “Book em, Danno.” I can't count the number of episodes I've watched from the HFO series when I was a kid. My mother would watch the show, and I'd watch it too. And, the show had one of the b...

So, the new name of the Batman 3 movie is...The Dark Knight Rises That's a very Frank Miller title. I actually like the new title. It tells you that Batman will probably clear his name in this movie and rises to become a hero again. From Popeater.com, (( "It won't be the Riddler," Nolan said. He has also previously ruled out Mr. Freeze and the Penguin making any appearances.  E!Online.com  also reports that the director has been meeting with actresses in their 20s and 30s--maybe trying to cast Catwoman?  )) I think the Riddler or Penguin would fit perfectly into the Nolan version of Batman. Anyway, it is better than the title Transformers: The Dark of the Moon.  

  Guest Blogger Post: Star Wars 3-D As I've done early in the season, I've opened my blog up to guest bloggers. Writer Jillian Interlichia from My Dog Ate My Blog has an interesting take on the upcoming Star Wars 3-D conversions re-releases. Star Wars 3-D: Coming Soon to a Galaxy Near You George Lucas recently announced that he will be rereleasing his Star Wars saga in 3-D, coming to a theater near you in 2012.  This has resulted in a mixed-bag of reactions, from “this is the end of the world the Aztecs predicted” to “well, Avatar was pretty awesome in 3-D…” Given Lucas’s previous track record of ruining childhood memories with unnecessary digitalization and fiddling, the rerelease may not bode well for the saga.  Factor in the snooze-fest of the three “prequels” and we could have a giant Hollywood turkey of  Gigli  proportions on our hands.  Bear in mind that to film a movie in 3-D, filmmakers must position two cameras on both sides of...

Sonic The Hedgehog Love and Game Gear No, he’s not talking about Ron Jeremy, but the fast moving blue guy.   Where did he find an old Game Gear?   I remember liking the colored screen on the Game Gear over the green/black screened Gameboy.   Here’s a review on the Game Gear.  

Alexander Piggee: Hated Gamestop and Malls? Alexander Piggee had a bad day, a really bad day. He burned down portions of a mall and a GameStop store. This guy walked into a Gamestop with a backpack full of chemicals and burned the place down. He also took half the mall with the videogame store. Why aim for the videogame store first? Did they sell him a Red-Ringed X-Box? From CBS News , ((The incident began just after 10 a.m. when the 23-year-old suspect entered a GameStop store located on the mall's second floor. Employees at the store say the suspect, who a friend and co-worker identified as Piggee, made some incoherent remarks about his sister being held captive and ordered employees out of the store, telling them that he had a gun. The man then set a fire inside the store. Witnesses told CBS affiliate KOVR that they saw smoke billowing out the front doors of the GameStop and then saw SWAT officers with guns drawn approaching the store and ordered the suspect out.)) Even Govern...

Halloween Meme Megan did a Halloween Meme over at her blog and I decided to do the same one with my spin on it. Halloween has always been my least favorite holiday.  I can’t pen point why that this, but I wasn’t in for dressing up but for the candy.  By the way, I hate when people try to remove the darker elements of the holiday by calling it something other than Halloween or All Hallows .  1 What is the worst treat to get when trick-or-treating?: Rocks, isn't that what Charlie Brown used to get all the time? Have you tried eating rocks? They have very little taste other than a mossy/dirt taste. Kidding aside, probably candy corn at this point. I used to like candy corn, but it just doesn't have the thrill for me anymore. The thrill is gone. 2 What character from any horror film would you most like to play?: Jason probably because I kind of loom over people just like he does.  I think I’d make a good Jason.  However, Freddy is the one that seems to have all t...

Kanye West: Runaway This is the reason I hate and like Kanye West. His ego is so big that he is willing try doing new things that are completely out of the realm or the Hip-Hop world. “Runaway” pretty much is an outgrowth of his ego but in a good way. This video is basically a sampler of all of his new tracks. Kanye does fairly good job in the directing chair. The transitions from each song and scene is fairly seamless. Lady Gaga could takes notes on how to ~Some of the quiet moments between songs might turn some people off. ~Half Naked Bird Woman? I have no problem with. She has an amazing body. Selita Ebanks plays the strange bird woman (The Phoenix). She was a Victoria's Secret Angel. Now, I under why she looks good in the outfit. ~I kind of like seeing Kanye West playing around with a drum machine. ~There is a tribute to Michael Jackson at the 8 min mark. ~Somehow he’s made ballerinas sexy. This is probably one of my favorite sections from the video. It is just a nice little s...

Their Logo is so Extreme that it constantly on fire.  Those are passion flames from the heart of gamers everywhere.  BTW, what's up with the green tracing on the logo?  Is a Green Lantern protecting it? _____________________________________________________________________ Random Thoughts ~ Game Crazy ?: I had no idea that Game Crazy was even around. I remember EB Games and Game Stop. Game Crazy had a really bad training Video for new employees. Spoony decided to riff on this s trange Training Video . What were they thinking when they made the training video? Having the lamest woman in the word speak in slang is just stupid. True that, peeps. Just watch the videos to see what I mean. ~Wikileaks: That sounds like a peeing problem to me. Anyway, I've heard a lot about this group, and didn't know what to think about them. But after reading about the group pissing off the Space Church , I'm totally behind them. ~ Paranormal Activity 2 made 20 million on just Friday . Jac...

Double Dragon theme with DeStorm I wonder what other old school videogames tunes can be slowed down and turned into hip-hop tunes.   I like the blowing into the Nintendo cartridge.   Everyone had to do to his or her games.   I wonder why Nintendo’s system was the only one that didn’t work well with dust?   I remember having a Sega Master System, and I never had to worry about blowing into the thing. (That sounded strange) I did have a few glitches with the Master System, but nothing like Nintendo.   I want them to bring back the Blowing technique for nostalgia stake.   Anyway, my brother and I used to play Double Dragon for hours in the arcades.   I also had fun with the game on the console too.   Now, the Double Dragon movie is better left ignored.   

I had Arabic coffee today, and I think I drink too much… My teacher brought in Syrian Coffee and I had a half of a normal cup of coffee.  That is considered too much because Arabic Coffee is very strong.  You’re only supposed to drink from a tiny cup.  I really feeling it because I don’t think I can go to sleep now because I am so wired.  BTW, the blend he gave me was bitter and sweet.  I’m not a coffee drinker, but I kind of liked it.
