​ So many people today get caught up in the wrong things. We spend so much time worrying about things that are none of our business -- is this person gay, is this person straight -- that we forget the ...

It took a while, but that latest Star Wars Burlesque show -- yes, the one with the incredibly creepy sexy Chewbacca and sexy C-3PO -- has a video, courtesy of G4. The TV channel went behind the scenes to talk ...

I had thought that Konami, along with its new Rush n' Attack game, had released a new trailer from the Kojima Productions-made Castlevania: Lord of Shadows game, and that I was going to have to run it. But they didn't, ...

​Ian Curtis wasn't bullshitting when he said that love will tear us apart. Dating is a brutal process that is often punctuated by differing expectations and awkwardness aplenty, yet it still beats sitting alone on a Saturday night alphabetizing your ...

​Sorry, folks -- there's no famous people or characters canoodling in this week's installment of Fan Fiction Friday. Instead, it's just two girls who happen to meet each other in the park, getting ready to have an adventure, although I ...

Hmm. I thought there'd be more gibbering cock monsters, frankly. (Via /Film) Excerpt from: A Better Look at the Harry Potter Theme Park

​In nearly every movie concerning ventriloquists, they are portrayed as schizophrenic, nefarious creeps with serious social problems. Where does this stereotype come from? The art itself goes back to necromancers, who would pretend to act as speakers for the dead ...

​As a group of superheroes, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are widely known for their comic books, movies, cartoons, video games, and toys. However, there are actually multiple comic continuities, one of which was squarely aimed at younger audiences ...

​It used to be that movies that got games based around them mostly fell into two categories - action and adventure. A brief journey down the up-and-down history of movie-based games, including the now infamous E.T. on the Atari ...

I already mentioned that the Clone Wars was bringing back young Boba Fett in order to utterly eradicate the mystery that even the Clone Wars director Dave Filoni knows is the reason the character is cool. But I'm actually showing ...

Neither of which are coming out, of course. But go back to this Duke Nukem Forever video leaked in May of last year, featuring an immense amount of character and enemy animations, some neat environments, and generally, some shit you ...

​Man oh man. I don't know that I can say this was the best contest ever, but I definitely enjoyed the hell out of it. I think you guys figured out pretty quick that I really just wanted entertaining RPG ...

​"I'm the best at what I do and what I do ain't very nice" says Wolverine at almost every opportunity. While unclear on what he actually does, this mission statement is abundantly clear that Wolverine is the best at it, ...

Oh, happy day! Everyone's favorite movie reviewer/serial killer Mr. Plinkett is back, this time reviewing Attack of the Clones in a massive but scathingly brilliant 9-part, 90 minute review. The first part starts here, but if you don't have time ...

​The original Transformers cartoon played a huge part in ensuring the success of a brand that's still going strong today. It was made to sell toys first and foremost, and accomplished this by presenting kids with robot characters they cared ...

​Shaun's "Ways D&D Characters Die" list got me reminiscing on my own RPG days, and how stupid they were. I wasn't the most awful player, but when I was bad, I was pretty damn bad. Once, I got tired of ...

​Today's story is from Hunterjeanmidna, an author I'm not convinced isn't just a fake profile for writing nonsense. Still, as always, there's a line between slyly writing crack fics and just ending up writing ridiculous porn, and I'll leave it ...

​As alluded to in Jill's awesomely silly Daily List, DC's Blackest Night finally ended this week, and Brightest Day is about to start. Of course, Blackest Night ended with a few... let's just call them additions, which might be of ...

​Clue is one of the best movies of all time. I have pretty much the entire thing memorized. If you haven't seen it or don't like it, well, shame on you. I have no idea why the original board game ...

Okay. Let's consider this post entirely about a new Iron Man 2 featurette, with some cool behind-the-scenes stuff, a nice shot of Scarlet Johahnsson and her breasts, and a bit of new footage from the movie. That's fine. All good. ...

​With the recent debate on healthcare in this country, it's important to note all of the people without healthcare in this country -- most notably Dungeons & Dragons characters. Oh sure, they have healing potions and spells, but any table-top ...

I think we can get back to rejoicing. Because there's a new trailer of the Team Ninja-developed Metroid: Other M game, and instead of some girl staring wistfully out a window for five straight minutes, it actually has Samus, in ...

​We live in a new golden age of kid's cartoons. Kid's shows today are, by and large, slick, hip, and most importantly, smart -- they're meant to make the parents laugh as much as their kids. Call it the Pixar ...

​Although there were only 250 or so entries in this weekend's contest, it was even harder to judge than usual. Partially because most people wrote full-on biographies of their birthday experiences, and partially because... well, I'll get to the other ...

​It's not much of a secret that videogame publishers love money, so when a game becomes a hit, a sequel is almost 100% guaranteed. When the sequels succeed, then the threat of the videogame spin-off emerges. Guitar Hero leads to ...

Remember the other day when I told you that Toei was making CG movies of Captain Harlock and Gaiking, and that I was totally excited about Harlock and not Gaiking?I've changed my mind. Thanks to GalvaTRION for the tip. See the ...

​When the Power Rangers first kicked, punched and explosion-flipped their way into American pop culture in 1993, they proved two very important things: first, Japanese television shows are completely fucking nuts; and secondly, if a show contains martial arts, monsters ...

​There have been many Fan Fiction Fridays where we, as readers, have not understood the sexual appeal of the story's content, e.g., we don't want to have sex with baby animals, so the story fails to arouse. There have been ...

​The use of film scores can be polarizing for movies nerds. Some argue that scores are simply manipulative tools that toy with a viewer's emotion; filling in for a lack of real dramatic content. But what would Star Wars be ...

​Let's face it, pretty much everyone loves something Alan Moore's written. Even if Watchmen isn't your cup of Earl Grey, you've probably dug The Killing Joke or Saga of the Swamp Thing, V For Vendetta or For the Man Who ...

​The first marriage of zinc sulfide into plastic isn't recorded in history, but it's still a happy day for kids everywhere. It's the day that someone figured out that you could make plastic glow-in-the-dark, a scientific breakthrough that has benefited ...

​You guys know my love of Final Fantasy. You know how excited I was when Final Fantasy XIII came out on March 9th. I've probably mentioned my ridiculous college thesis on TR a dozen or so times. As nerdy as ...

​Well, my plan to limit the number of entries by having an anime-themed contest failed spectacularly. Guess I should have known that hate beats genre every time. I also forgot to ask you guys to limit your diatribes, so I ...
