Get off my Lawn!!

Bad Mary Poppins

I soo need this

I normally would hate to link to Fox News ...

... but they were the ones to report that George Lucas thought that Spider-Man 3 was "silly".

From the FA:

Lucas told me he has seen all the summer movies since his company, Industrial Light and Magic, does most of the special effects. The only one they didn't work on was "Spider-Man 3." What did he think of it?

"It's silly. It's a silly movie," he said. "There just isn't much there. Once you take it all apart, there's not much story, is there?"

Well, it's not "Star Wars."

"People thought 'Star Wars' was silly, too," he added, with a wink. "But it wasn't."

Do I even need to comment on this??

How much you wanna bet ...

... that they bury this fucker in an unmarked grave?

Jerry Falwell, dead at 73.

'Cause you know that grave would be desecrated like a mother fucker by everyone he's ever pissed off. Probably arranged to have an armed guard for it. Rot in Hell, you cocksucker!

CthulhuTech

he Last War
2085. Humanity faces extinction. Alien insects from the edge of our solar system, long hidden behind the façade of reality, descend to enslave us. Hordes of unspeakable horrors roll out from Central Asia, laying waste to anything in their path. The church of the fish-god scours the world for lost occult secrets to unleash terrible forces. Dead gods awaken and turn their dreadful eyes toward the Earth. And within hides a cancer, eating away at the very heart of the New Earth Government.

This is the Aeon War. This is the time of CthulhuTech.

Climb inside a thirty-foot tall war machine and rain down hell on the unwavering Migou. Fight tooth and nail on the front lines against the horrific beasts of the Rapine Storm. Seek out the disgusting corruption of the insidious Esoteric Order of Dagon. Explore the dark world of the malignant Chrysalis Corporation and their unseen monstrous agents. Sift through secrets long thought lost and bend the power of the cosmos to your will. Join in symbiosis with something beyond time and space and become a shape-shifting bringer of wrath.

Nowhere else will you find a setting like this.

Now I know what to get Rod for his birthday.

Blood puddle pillows.

They're so cute!

Cuddly Investigators

It all starts so innocently ...

... but then it rapidly deteriorates.

Check it out for daily updates.

Finally caught up with heroes

Holy Crap.

I dig the future heroes, you know, dark and badass!

I did not expect the whole bit about who the president really is. And I dig a superhero story where some motherfuckers gotta die.

Nothing drives hoplessness home like 2 bullets in the back!

Man, we're rackin' them up this month

Tom Poston, dead at 85.

See, you young 'uns might not remember him, but he was one of the funniest guys around back in the day. He did everything, and got to bone Suzanne Pleshette too ...

"Hi, I'm Jack Valenti ...

" ... and this is my corpse."

Jack Valenti, former head of the MPAA, dead at 85. He was kinda a douche, but he did do an episode of Freakazoid, which forgives many sins.

Bobby "Boris" Pickett, dead at 69

"Who?", I hear you cry.

"Philistines!", say I, and direct you here.

that public doamin torrent tracker is the goodness

Dude, some of these flicks are drive in classics.

I already downloaded 4 movies (slow!)and it is good

Little something for the WoW fans ...

... or the Muppet fans ...
... or fans of l33t ...
... or Gene Kelly fans ...

Just watch the damn thing!

Holy Crap... She is fucking 9!!!

Mmmm, public domain goodness ...

Public Domain Torrents offers several Bittorrent powered downloads of public domain movies. There's a lot of stinkers there, but a few real gems. If you've never seen the 1940's Superman animated shorts, you could do a lot worse.

Pearl the Landlord

A pretty funny clip from Will Ferrell. Parents with kids will be especially pleased, I think ....

Whoa. Just ... whoa.

Dungeon and Dragon magazines cease publication in September.

Whoa. I can't say I'm overly surprised, considering the move to on-line publishing most companies have done, but it's still a bit of a shock.

Any bets on there being a wake at Gencon?

Motivational Thursday

Things have not gone well for the froggy one.

I mean, how pathetic is this:

Honey, can we take a vacation here?

Irish town wants to change it's name to Fort of the Harlot.

Sounds like my kinda place ... :)

Entertainment: Richard Jeni Dead At 45, Probable Suicide

Whoa. Just ... whoa.

"Platypus Man" was one of my all time favorite comedy specials, and his Jacques Clouseau routine is a classic.

You will be missed.

Shadowrun player convicted of holding up a lingerie shop

BBC NEWS | UK | Northern Ireland | 'Elf' lingerie thief found guilty

Yes, a man playing Shadowrun dressed up as his female elf character and held up a lingerie shop.

Hilarity ensues.

Of course, it would have had to be Shadowrun ... fuckin' elves ...

Now I know what I want for Easter!

"Of course I'll share my Dalek Chocolate Cake with you and Erin, honey. Just make sure we have some insulin handy."

Warhammer 40K MMORPG

Just when I think I don't care about MMOs anymore...

Hard Rock Zombies

This is the only "you tube" clip I could find... but I watched this movie last night. Netflix, I didnt buy it.

I only have one thing to tell you... Eva Braun is a zombie werewolf in California in 1985 !?!?!

Jet Li in The Mummy 3

I dug the Mummy flicks in a Saturday matinee way, so I'm sorta stoked about this. Could be a lot of fun. The article mentions both Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh. Groovy.

SCI FI Drive-In

The Sci Fi channel launched a free streaming movie site called Sci Fi Drive-In. They're all old flicks but they have some classics like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Metropolis along with some more obscure stuff.
Sci Fi Drive-In

Greatest ... Movie ... Evar?!?

Whoa. This looks very promising.



Heh, heh; Violence of the Lambs, indeed.

They can rebuild him...sort of

Monkey Head Transplant!!

Didn't I run this game before?

New movie coming out in March from the guys who did the Saw movies. Plot line is very similar to something I ran in my first Cthulhu campaign ... which resulted in one exploded house and an entire party on the run from the law. Good times, good times ...

Glee!

Top Shelf comics has announced LXG 3 to be released in 2008. This is not the same as The Black Dossier, which is another companion volume coming out from DC Comics, but an entirely new story.

I'm as giddy as a schoolboy ...

I'm not dead yet...

Tiiiiiim, Tiiiiiim, I am the ghost of Nukem Future...

DVD's have officially Jumped the Shark

Bad enough that Sledge Hammer is available on DVD, but coming out tomorrow is both Gymkata and Looker ... at least with Looker you can get tits in the afternoon any time you want ...

You know how I know you're gay ...

... you listen to any of the bands on this list.

Strangely enough, Asia is noticeably absent ...

Forget about Spider-Man 3 and the 300 ...

Here's the next movie I can't wait to see ...



From the guys who brought us Shaun of the Dead ... bloody brilliant ...

Zombie Infection Simulation

See what your computer thinks our chances are.

Drinking, drugs, and Trek

The 60s were awesome...

Man, I gotta get an Xbox 360 ...

Check out the newly announced extra tracks for the XBox 360 edition of Guitar Hero II. I mean, The Trooper!!!! I am so there.

Five Geek Social Fallacies

I mentioned the Five Geek Social Fallacies in conversation with John and Tom earlier tonight, and I wanted to share with everyone. See how many people you know who have suffered under one or more of these delusions ...

College students and stoners are in mourning everywhere

Because the inventor of Cup O' Noodles has died. I wonder if he'll be cremated, then stored in one of those little styrofoam cups ...

And people wonder why I'm not a Trek fan ...

The song in this video is by Voltaire, who was also responsible for The Vampire Club, which some of you might remember from my con road trip mix ... Good times, good times...

The Seventh Seal Has Been Broken

Could go either way but I'm extremely happy about this.

Saddam is dead

Right around 11pm (our time) on December 29th, or about 6am on the 30th in Iraq. They showed Hussein being led to the gallows and the noose being placed on his neck, but Iraqi state TV froze the picture before the actual hanging.

The Taliban and Al Qaeda are already asserting that the Jihad against the United States and it's allies will intensify. Even though he was found guilty and sentanced to death by a court comprised of Iraqi's.

So, I was watching CNN at 3 in the morning... a car bomb was set off in a parking garage at a Madrid airport. Reps from the airport said they got a warning call 45 minutes before the bomb was detinated.

They said this is the M.O. of Baathist separatists. Saddam was the leader of the Baath Party... Coincedence?

I was oddly aroused... is that wrong?

Joseph Barbera Dies

Joseph Barbera, one half of the team behind such cartoon classics as The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Scooby-Doo and Huckleberry Hound, has died, aged 95.

Can "The Watchmen" be far behind??

First Superman Returns, then Batman Begins, then Cyberpunk 2.0, now this: the trailer for Live Free or Die Hard is out. My list is getting smaller by the day ...

Stop Motion Music

Now we can all be rock stars.

A friend of a friend from my old game group at USC made this. Make sure you watch this one to the end. ;)

Raise one for one of the greats ...

Peter Boyle of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' dies - CNN.com

All together now: "Puttin' on the RIIIITTZ!!!"

I kinda know how they feel ... :)

A particularly appropriate sentiment in today's Dork Tower. Not that there's anything wrong with that ... ;)

I figure it's time for this perennial Christmas favorite!

The Ghostbusters/Lovecraft fan Holy Grail!

Yes, it's the Collect Call of Cthulhu episode from The Real Ghostbusters, Parts 1 and Part 2, from your friends at You Tube! WHEEEE!!!

Hell, I'm-a gonna buy one of these for everybody!

For Those About To Geek

This girl kicks major ass !!!

Correcting a gross oversight ...

Oh man, I thought this was added to the sidebar, but I guess not. If you haven't read The Order of the Stick, do it right fucking now!!! I'll be adding it to the sidebar as well, for posterity.

The reason why I hate Thanksgiving

A night-time prayer from your Uncle Bill ...

Thanks for the wild turkey and
the passenger pigeons, destined
to be shit out through wholesome
American guts.

Thanks for a continent to despoil
and poison.

Thanks for Indians to provide a
modicum of challenge and
danger.

Thanks for vast herds of bison to
kill and skin leaving the
carcasses to rot.

Thanks for bounties on wolves
and coyotes.

Thanks for the American dream,
To vulgarize and to falsify until
the bare lies shine through.

Thanks for the KKK.

For nigger-killin' lawmen,
feelin' their notches.

For decent church-goin' women,
with their mean, pinched, bitter,
evil faces.

Thanks for "Kill a Queer for
Christ" stickers.

Thanks for laboratory AIDS.

Thanks for Prohibition and the
war against drugs.

Thanks for a country where
nobody's allowed to mind their
own business.

Thanks for a nation of finks.

Yes, thanks for all the
memories-- all right let's see
your arms!

You always were a headache and
you always were a bore.

Thanks for the last and greatest
betrayal of the last and greatest
of human dreams.

Welcoming the Holidays

Not what I needed to see...

Should have seen it coming I guess.

Organized Chaos, Inc.

Ok here's the link for Mount and Blade, the shareware game I can't shut up about. You have to stick with the game until you get on a horse in a big battle. www.taleworlds.com They have a very cool LOTR mod and the Story mod is very good as well.

The geekery made my ass twitch.

The LARP geeks have spawned a cottage industry...

This made me snarf...

Why can't US TV ads be like this?

Here's a link to the Japanese commercial for DOAX2. I'm sold ... ;)

Man... I think I have to finally give up on them.

His voice is gone, and without the growl... there is nothing left. Load and Reload had a couple of good moments (there were 4 or 5 good songs spread over those 2 albums), St. Anger was horrible - and if this is any indication it will be more of the same Bob Rock influenced shit. I held out a glimmer of hope because Rick Rubin is producing the next album. But, I think the king is dead...

This brought a tear to my eye

This is a bunch of Japanese chicks watching 'Ringu'

I just want to reiterate that she WILL be mine!

This one too...

Con Goodness?

How was the convention... anything wacky happen?

New games?
New takes on old games?
New venerial diseases?
