The Physics Of My Little Pony
Are you a fan of My Little Pony? I don’t mean the geeky modded My Little Ponies like Pony Stark. I mean the core My Little Pony franchise. I’ve some bad news for you. It turns out that the cartoons aren’t very accurate. In fact, the physics of the My Little Pony world are laden […]
Star Wars do Welcome to the Jungle
I wonder what music was playing when the Empire arrived on the Forest Moon on Endor? For some reason Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries seems approporate for the Stormtroopers. Mind you; what if the music was coming from the dangerous locals rather than the imperial forces. What if the music was Guns N Roses’ Welcome […]
Goldfish – We Come Together: 8 bit music video
This music video is packed with geek cred. Not only will you notice some of your 8-bit heroes in the quirky animation but I suspect you may notice some sci-fi faces and even some cheeky cartoons. The video is an international production with pixel artists coming from Canada, UK, Germany, USA, Australia, India, Brazil, Spain, […]

Shadows of the Damned: Enlarge Your Johnson
EA and Grasshopper Manufacture’s gory horror “Shadows of the Damned” has taken a turn for the outright silly with their “Enlarge Your Johnson” video. Not really sure what to say about this – except, fear not (quite so much), as “Johnson” refers to your weapon. Okay, the hero might hold his gun in, um, interesting […]
Veebeam offers easier streaming
When I can get my hands on legal anime downloads – you know, those teaser clips, trailers, featurettes or even sometimes fan made movies – I often like to stream them from my deskbound laptop to my large HD TV. Makes for a better watching experience, right? I think I’ve got a pretty good set […]
