Fox Retro promo
Check out this awesome promo video for “Fox Retro”, a block of programming (or maybe a channel) for Fox Italy. They re-imagined a bunch of 80′s shows in to 8-bit video games. So amazing! (I’ll forgive the fact that it’s FOX..this time) ...continue reading
New York Comic-Con 2011
Yeah yeah I know I’m like a week late on posting my NYCC pic. I’ve been busy. NYCC was a blast! It does feel like it’s outgrowing the Javitz center space but I have no idea where else in NYC it could be. Comic-Cons are the best. I love that Cosplaying has become such a ...continue reading
Live-action Voltron short film
Check out this pretty awesome short Voltron live-action film by director Alex Albrecht (Diggnation, Totally Rad Show). Pretty nice. He takes a more serious angle in the short and decided not to show much of the actual tiger space ships, which is understandable because it could easily end up looking real cheesy in live-action format ...continue reading
LARP in the media
LARPing seems to be getting a lot of attention in the last few years. The movie Role Models had a large LARPing part that was completely omitted from the commercials and trailers that I saw for it. Maybe producers thought that wouldn’t be a draw for general audiences. I thought it made the movie. Without ...continue reading
2 Broke Girls – My preliminary thoughts based on previews
There are many sitcoms that come and go, or stay and never go away, so what’s one more right? And why am I giving this one in particular more attention? Well I’ll tell ya. 2 Broke Girls stars Kat Dennings and some other girl living it up (or down) in Brooklyn. Kat’s characters (yeah we’re ...continue reading
Ghosts of TV’s past: Super Mario Bros Super Show
“We’re the Mario Bros and plumbing’s our game, we found the secret warp zone while working on the drain” These are lyrics that will stand the test of time… ok not really but they do for me. For some reason they stuck in my head and so I could never forget the Super Mario Bros ...continue reading
Cartoon Network’s new line-up
Get ready for some awesomeness! Cartoon Network premiered a bunch of stuff at Comic-Con. Some old, some new, but mostly all of it looks cool. Videos below, but unfortunately because Cartoon Network’s parent company TNT are assholes and do not understand the usefulness of blogs and how it helps promote their shows, they do not ...continue reading
Comic-Con ’11 including Nerdist Live Podcast
I’m going to keep this short mainly because I’m probably going to say what has been said already a million times, the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of like-minded people just showers you in such a positivity that Comic-Con truly feels magical (yeah I said “magical”, deal with it). I attended my first Comic-Con ...continue reading

Adventure Time goes all CG and stuff
Just watched an extra awesome, old-school video game themed, episode of Adventure Time that premiered tonight (Feb 21) on Cartoon Network.

Ghosts of TV’s past: Video Power
Every once in a while I get this vague memory of an old TV show pop-up in my head. Â I finally decided to look it up. I couldn’t remember much of it except that it was a show that had tips on Nintendo games. Â After some quick googling I found what I was trying to ...continue reading
