Felicia Day should probably never be allowed to pilot a BattleMech.

Her brother, on the other hand, would be useful if you ever have need for a rampage of mindless destruction.


Holy crap, that cartridge looked like it had been stored poorly. Remember kids, always take care of your games, especially the older ones. Sega made those big VHS sized cases for a reason!

Hijinks Ensue's Joel Watson sums up the entire Sherlock fandom in one comic

It's true. I too have felt the siren call of fine writing and Benedict Cumberbatch fine chiseled cheekbones and general lankiness.

Anyone remember The Addams Family cartoon?

I used to watch when I was a kid, but I honestly cannot remember anything in particular, other than the redheaded kid's parents constantly scheming to get rid of the Addams, because they didn't like the latter's lifestyle. I liked the Beetlejuice cartoon more.

This picture of Emma Frost is horrifying

I was reading Multiversity Comics article today about the dos and don'ts of being a comic book pro on Twitter when I saw this picture of Emma Frost:

Do.not.want.

Jesus, she looks like one of those forty-somethings that wears clothes meant for women younger than them, bleaches their hair weekly and overdoes their makeup. Emma's face looks like she chain smokes too. Who in the name of the Gods of Kobol drew this picture?

I think I've figured out the real reason behind CM Punk's recent heel turn

For the non-wrestling fans, CM Punk is a wrestler who works for the WWE (formerly WWF), where he is their WWE Champion. You can't see it in the above picture, but one of Punk's many, many tattoos is the emblem for COBRA Command from G.I. Joe.

What I never noticed until last night, when that picture was taken, was that he also had the symbol of the Arashikage Ninja Clan (also from G.I. Joe) tattooed on his right forearm (the red blocks). Snake-Eyes and every member of that clan has that tattoo, which, combined with the COBRA tattoo, led me to only one conclusion...

Arashikage ain't nothin' to fuck with!

...CM Punk is Storm Shadow! That would explain the heel turn - COBRA kidnapped Punk and brainwashed him into doing their bidding (again)! IT ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE!

So now I'm wondering if that makes Colt Cobana Snake-Eyes?

Watch artist Hong Yi set fire to Adele (sort of)

Completely and utterly amazing.


According to Hong Yi, this is part of a project where she creates art using one of the four elements of nature - Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. No idea if Heart will be used, though she should be cautious, as that has a tendency to summon Captain Planet, when combined with the other four.

Though using a heart wouldn't be advisable.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlepersons just gave me a massive nerdgasm

You have no idea how badly I want this to be a thing that is real. Unfortunately, it isn't. Instead, this is the masterwork of Chris Bird from MightyGodKing and Andrew Wheeler, with art by Davinder Brar. Based, of course, on Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Here's a description of the plot:

Abuse of Playback, the technologically-derived drug made from distilled human memories, is sweeping the world – and Special Agent Fox Mulder learned too late that Playback was put forth on this planet by the Purity, seeking to condition humanity to their rule so as to better combat the Deadite incursion threatening the aliens’ homeworld. Now Mulder is missing, and it falls to his partner, Dana Scully, to re-activate secret protocol LXG-71, the “League of Extraordinary Gentlepersons” (protocol renamed 1993 for “sensitivity reasons”).
Scully swiftly collects Hong Kong Detective-Inspector “Tequila” Yuen, hyperviolent Wiccan practitioner Nancy Downs, the biological experiment/walking weapon known only as “Edward,” and a young high-functioning sociopath named Zack Morris who has the strange ability to stop the flow of time itself. Perhaps it is this last who attracts the attention of an enigmatic man who answers only to “Rufus,” and who asks Scully to “set history right” and see that two young musicians – that, so far as she can tell, never existed – be born anew, so that peace may flourish on Earth. But the Purity have never shown any signs of temporal travel capability… so who, then, altered history?

If some of the names sound unfamiliar, here's a rundown:

• Tequila Yuen is from the movie 1992 film Hard Boiled, played by Chow Yun-fat.
• Nancy Downs is Fairuza Balk's character from the 1996 film The Craft. I actually thought it was Winona Ryder's character from Beetlejuice.
• Dana Scully is obvious from the X-Files.
• Zack Morris is from Saved By The Bell. I never saw him as a sociopath, but I guess his constant plots and schemes could mark him as one.
• Rufus is from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey.
• Edward Scissorhands is well, that's pretty self-explanatory.

My favorite parts are the pokeball in the glass case and the pictures on the wall. I have no idea who the person with the question mark for a head is supposed to be. Oh yeah, you can buy a print of it here.

Jarred Super Friends, collect them all!

I don't know what's harder to believe: that Superman can punch out of a jar,
or that Batman doesn't have a can of jar repellent spray in his belt.

The Super Friends Collector Jar Series was great, but they got progressively more disappointing after the fourth wave. I think they still have a warehouse full of the El Dorado ones in Indonesia.
