I Fucking Love Science leaps to TV with Craig Ferguson
The Facebook page I Fucking Love Science is a gathering place of all sorts of oddities in the science world, that not only educates you on how amazing our world truely is, but it also entertains. Well it will be taking the next logical leap to TV on the Science Channel (with a bit of censorship in its title) via Green Mountain West Productions and Karga7 Productions, and today at South by Southwest in Austin it was announced that Late...
Hoverboards are Real – Nope.
The elaborate and brief hoax had every geek busting at the seams with glee as it appeared a company named Huvr had actually accomplished the impossible and invented the hovering skateboard we have been waiting for since 1989. Great Scott! The Hoverboard is REAL!! Only it isn’t. The above video is a very clever and well done promo with celebrity endorsements like Back to the Future star Christopher Lloyd, Mobi and Skater legend...
Thief Compared on all Available Platforms
One of the upcoming hottest games on the market has to be Thief. Aside from the nostalgia factor of this franchise being reborn on next gen consoles, one of the things contributing to its popularity has to be its wide distribution across all platforms. The game is released on PC, XBox360, XBoxOne, Playstation3 and Playstation4. But this is not about the popularity of the game, but rather this multiplatform release gives us the...
Game of Thrones Puzzle and Popup Book are Awesome
I have always wanted a map that was the opening sequence of Game of Thrones, with its little expanding clockwork cities and landscape models. I thought that would make for an impressive piece of art. They haven’t quite done this, however the closest we are going to get to a retail product is this layered 3d puzzle of Westeros complete with tiny city models and landmarks! And if that wasn’t enough, we also tripped across...
How to win at Flappy Birds
Remember when you were younger playing video games and there was always one level you just couldn’t get past so you either ragequit the game or you got a buddy or older sibling to get past it for you? Well that is the entire premise of the now legendary Flappy Birds. However, two inventive robotics geeks in China have created a robot that will beat the hell out of this copyright infringing game. Liu Yang and Shi Xuekun made a...
Boy and his Dog are the Cutest Thing You will see Today
Oh Monday, how can we get this day started and still be friends? Yeah, we will have to agree to disagree on any suggestions you might have, but this is my offer. A super cute photoshoot of a boy and his long haired Dachshund named Chewbacca. And check out the video they made of the photoshoot. See a few more pics from this series over at...
Harold Ramis Passes Away at 69
The legendary Director and Actor Harold Ramis has left the mortal plane as the result of a complication of a rare blood disease. ABC reports: Ramis was surrounded by family in his Chicago home, where he’s lived since 1996, when he died early this morning from complications of autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, his wife Erica Mann Ramis told the Chicago Tribune. Ramis is probably best known for his in-front-of-the-camera work in...
First Look at Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman Physique
The controversial casting choice of Ben Affleck as Batman in the Man of Steel sequel has been overshadowed by casting a 110lb underwear model as Wonder Woman. But it seems that Gal Gadot is making the effort to be a lot more buff so she can pass as the Amazon Warrior Princess. Now at very least physically she is looking more the part. Wonder Woman is fit, but still very slight in appearance. She didn’t have body builder muscles...
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark Game Trailer
Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark looks to be continuing the fun and style of War for Cybertron for the gaming world. The film versions of the Transformers seem to have a bit of influence on the prequel generation of Transformers found in the game. Looks like a lot of fun. I wished there were more Transformer games like War for Cybertron, and it looks like there will be! Which side would you be playing? Autobots or...
Nike Promises Power Laces by 2015
Despite many bad photoshopped images claiming the day which Marty McFly would travel to the future in Back to the Future 2, the real date is in 2015. We are desperately close to looking forward to the wonder technology they predicted. While it is still unlikely we will have a useable version of the hover skateboard, it appears Nike is looking at making sure at least one technology will exist. Power Laces. Gizmodo reports: designer...
Doctor Horrible 2 will still Happen
If there is one constant coming from the camp of the Doctor Horrible cast, is that a sequel is inevitable. For those not privy to this aforementioned camp, Doctor Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog was a pet project of the Brothers Whedon during the Writer’s Strike. The webfilm was released in three installments featuring Neil Patrick Harris as an aspiring super villain attempting to secure a spot in the Evil League of Evil, but...
Glorious Cosplayer of the Week: Featherweight
I have seen the work of Devin Harrigan for years now, but just recently discovered as much. He goes by the name Featherweight, and his cosplay is amazing as it is ambitious. He also is a fantastic prop maker, artist, cartoonist and writer. Featherweight once created a costume of the Fantastic Four’s Thing made out of real rocks. I wonder if it is a tribute to his chosen name that his future endeavours all weighed less. Check out...
Podcast with a Porpoise – X-Men Franchise Speculation
Here is the first episode of the Podcast with a Porpoise. I was just driving home from the grocery store when an idea struck me, so come for a drive with me and discuss my hopes for the X-Men film franchise, reflecting on the source material, the existing films and those already...
Glorious Cosplayer of the Week: Courtoon
This week we are featuring the saccharine sweet Courtney – also known as Courtoon as our Glorious Cosplayer of the Week. The thing I like most about this cosplayer is how much fun she has in creating the costumes as much as wearing them to events and photoshoots. She does gravitate toward the Disney Princesses and adorably cutesy costumes which really compliment her personality. Take a look: The lovely Courtoon can be found on...
All 25 Empire Covers for Days of Future Past
Empire Magazine has released all 25 of their promotional variant covers for X-Men Days of Future Past and the images all line up for one impressive image. Blink and Bishop are pretty awesome, but I was really hoping to see Scarlet Witch. And of course, the banner image itself can be seen in all 19ft of its glory by clicking on the image...
Fantastic Four Reboot Synopsis Found in Casting Call
It appears that a synopsis was online attached to a casting call for the upcoming reboot of the Fantastic Four films, and the story isn’t exactly how most of us will expect. TheMovieSnitch shares: The Fantastic Four will tell the tale of two very young friends, Reed Richards and Ben Grimm. After an event transforms the boys, they find themselves empowered with bizarre new abilities. Reed becomes a scientific genius who can...
Was ET a Jedi?
This has been popping up on social media lately and I had to take a closer look. It seems that the Easter Egg tradeoffs between ET The Extra Terestrial and Star Wars was more than just a little nod to the bromance of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Check it out: It is also revealed thanks to Wookieepedia, that ET’s race is called Grebleips from the planet Brodo Asogi. Of course this Easter Egg does present a bigger picture if...
Amazon to Ship Orders before You Place Them!
It’s a new breakthrough in home delievery marketing! It is in your mailbox before your order is even placed! USA TODAY says: Amazon says it may box and ship products that it expects customers in a specific area will want, based on previous orders and other factors it gleans from its customers’ shopping patterns, even before they place an online order. Among those other factors: previous orders, product searches, wish...
Glorious Cosplayer of the Week: Jessica Nigri
Our featured Cosplayer of the week is the fabulous Jessica Nigri. Aside from being a first class dork, Nigri also manages to be a very attractive and creative cosplayer. While her enhanced features make her picture perfect for many buxom characters, it is her personality and genuine love for these characters that I really find is her strength. That last one is my favourite as Nausicaa holds a very special place in my heart and she...
Google Streetview Into the Tardis
Google Maps – especially StreetView has a lot of great hidden Easter Eggs but some are just for the Geeky types. This one is for you Doctor Who enthusiasts – or Whovians! If you visit the link (attached to the picture below), you will get to see a common British Police Box which of course is the form chosen by the Tardis, The Doctor’s personal time travel vessel. Now if you navigate down the road, you will just see...
