George Takei is Our New Nerd King
Some of you may be following the sci-fi spat between William Shatner and Carrie Fisher, or respectively, Capt. Kirk from Star Trek and Princess Leia from Star Wars. I haven’t been, because I don’t like to indulge in celebrity BS. A new chapter of the spat has unfolded, however, one that I have to share. But to set the scene, Shatner started the whole mess in an interview by saying Star Wars was derivative of Star Trek. Then Carrie Fisher did her own interview refuting him. Then Shatner made a personal video message to Fisher. Good-natured snarky fun was hard by all.
Well Star Trek’s George Takei has stepped forward to try and broker peace in a video that must be viewed by all science fiction fans.
The Henchman-4-Hire hereby pledges himself to George Takei’s cause! We must unite, my brothers and sisters in nerd!
The Funniest Pokemon Battle Ever!
Be warned, there is excessive swearing in this video.
But the guys at Egorapter animated the funniest fucking pokemon battle ever. It’s well animated and very well written. One tip for people who aren’t familiar with pokemon, the creatures are only supposed to say their name. Watch and enjoy, my friends!
The Adorableness of Batgirl and Supergirl
It is my sworn duty as a geeky, niche comic blogger to bring you, my faithful readers, the best comic book stuff from all corners of the Internet. The Information Superhighway is a big place, and there is all manner of delightful fun out there. Today is the adorable art of Mike Maihack. He seems to be a big fan of Batgirl, as you will soon see in this pair of strips starring Batgirl and Supergirl.

Here’s hoping he makes some more soon!
How X-Men: First Class Should Have Ended
If you’re like me, then you know all about the ‘How It Should Have Ended’ cartoon series on Youtube. The name is self-explanatory, and these guys have done it for a ton of movies, mostly superhero movies. X-Men: First Class is the latest cartoon, and it’s fantastic and funny! So consider this your introduction to the awesome world of these cartoons!
I’ve Got a Skyrim Song in My Heart
So I don’t know if I’ll ever write a review of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The game is just too massive, too wildly untamed, to really get it down in review form. I may whip something up someday, but for now, I figured I’d just update everybody on my status. Maybe some of you care, maybe some of you don’t. For those that do, keep reading. For those that don’t, at least enjoy this fun video.
Made by the same guys that did the earlier Skyrim songs.
Now then, my orc warrior Tannenbaum has continued to explore the world of Skyrim. He’s been to the frozen north and the jungles of the south. He’s been inside a magic black gemstone and he’s slain ghosts, giants, and humans alike. He’s even killed a few orcs who deserved it. Tannenbaum hasn’t chosen a side in the civil war, but who needs to? He’s the dragon-slayer!
The townsfolk were very grateful and came out to watch
And from that dragon, I crafted a legendary suit of dragon-scale armor.
I also made orphans out of its children
And I met a comely wench who sang the song of the dragon-slayer!
Very comely in the chest
Good times.
