Well, there is just no way I cannot get this game now . . . listen to it just for it’s awesome 8-bit soundtrack!

I cross my fingers that the game takes several times to start, or you have to press “y” to blow on the cartridge . . . that would totally add to the authenticity!

So there are a bunch of fans of Joss Whedon’s Firefly and Serenity fans who spend their days and possibly nights creating space ships that might exist in said self same galaxy, including for the fan film Bellflower.

So they were quite surprised to see images of their ships appear in the recent Dark Horse Serenity series, Float Out.

Chris Arrant over at Newsrama has posted a pretty awesome interview with Marian Churchland about her involvement with Elephantmen and some of her other projects. I personally dig her art a ton, and really enjoyed what she did with the Elephantmen from an art persepctive, and she will also be the writer on an upcoming one shot . . . looking forward to that!

The Geek’s Grimoire is a blog run by a buddy of the show. Check it out by clicking on the banner above. And here is a sample of some of the geekery you should come to expect below:

It all started in a department store.

Pittsburgh, some time in the early 1980s

My brother and I have arrived at (probably) K-Mart. Both of us have fresh allowance money in our pocket, so we head directly to our favorite part of the store: the toy department.

Within moments, we’re in the action figures aisle, searching for the Star Wars figures. Unfortunately, Star Wars is already falling out of favor, and the only action figures that we can find already exist in our collection at home. As awesome as Darth Vader is, we really don’t need a third one.

Immediately adjacent to the Star Wars figures, something new and interesting has appeared. These newcomers are military action figures. They’re a bit different from our usual sci-fi toys, but they are about the same size, so they’ll fit in with our existing armies. After a little deliberation, we each select a toy and head for the checkout.

Little did we know, our young lives had just changed.

Present day

So, what was that pivotal purchase?

Over the next decade, my brother and I would invest a large quantity of our allowance in GI Joe action figures, vehicles, and even the occasional comic book. When the TV show surfaced, we immediately became devoted fans, and our backyard was filled with cries of “Yo Joe!”

My love for GI Joe faded into the fog of memory for quite a while, just as Star Wars had, until the Cartoon Network produced GI Joe Resolute. The cartoon that I had grown up with had grown up as well, and it was good.

Today, I’ve returned to the GI Joe universe. I’m a regular reader of several ongoing GI Joe comic books, I’ve got a handful of GI Joe action figures on my desk, and I’m re-reading the original Marvel Comics series. All because K-Mart was out of new Star Wars figures way back when.

I wonder how different life might have been if they’d had Zuckuss in stock…

Check it out fast, it might just go missing soon with all the studios and Youtube cracking down on this . . . but this one has been on awhile . . . strange, maybe AMC is being smart about the whole thing and realizes that this will be the best exposure they can get! The show seems like it is going to be a good adaptation, things are changed, which should keep it fresh, but it seems to also remain true to the formula for the most part (at least in this short clip). And the little girl zombie is creeeeeeeeeeeepy!

Could they have cast someone better than Paul Giamatti as Frankie? So far, the look of the film is great, can’t wait to see more!

Continuing the week of featuring online comic strips, here is a great parody one called Garfield Minus Garfield, where Garfield and his dialogue is literally erased out of scenes, which leads to some creepy and disturbing comic strips!

XKCD.COM

Just in case you consider yourself a great geek or nerd, and haven’t been directed to this website before (or stumbled into it in a drunk internet search), this is one of the best comic strips on the internet. Mixing math, pop culture, science, logic and hilarity all the strips. Check it out, and for fun, if you don’t know what XKCD means, go look it up . . . internet searches are fun!

Oh, and don’t forget when you are looking at the strips on the site to leave your mouse over the comics so the ALT text appears . . . it is like free hilarious commentary (or a bonus jokes!)
