Wise Gaming Advice
I am a man who loves cleverness. And clearly this Brental Floss guy is one clever fella. He puts to song what we’re all thinking. You’d have to be some kind of maniac to want to buy the Playstation 4 or the X-Box One on launch day. Follow the talking Game Boy’s advice: be staunch, don’t buy at launch.
I Like Weird Things, and That Includes ‘Bee and Puppycat’
Oh wow, has the Internet delivered! The second episode of Bee and Puppycat is online, and it’s an utter delight.
So Bee and Puppycat is made by Natasha Allegri, who has worked on Adventure Time, another show I love. And you can clearly see the Adventure Time influence in Bee and Puppycat. My love for these little shorts is hard to explain. Bee and Puppycat is insane…but it’s an adorable kind of insane. And if something is adorable, it can pretty much get away with anything. But there’s another level where Bee, the main character, is also kind of realistic. She may be on this wild adventure, but she’s also awkward and neurotic, adding to the utter cuteness of the whole thing. Plus her voice is just fantastic.
Bee and Puppycat may be my new favorite Internet thing. And you can watch the first episode after the jump.
Starcher Trek Goes Where All Nerds Wish They Could Go
Some enterprising geeks decided to dub dialogue from Archer over the old animated Star Trek show just for kicks and giggles!

Why can’t we live in a world where this sort of thing happens more often?
Also, all you blog fans, I’m still sort of recovering/unpacking from my trip to Boston Comic-Con over the weekend. It didn’t help that I had to go to work this morning. Why I didn’t add Monday to my vacation, I’ll never know. Anyway, stay tuned this week for a recap of my Con adventure and tons of cosplay pictures!
Honest Trailers Tackles the Big One
I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve seen from the Screen Junkies team, and now they up the ante by giving the Honest Trailers treatment to the worst superhero movie ever made. I’m talking, of course, about Batman and Robin.
I can’t believe young, teenage Sean loved this movie, and Batman Forever. I’m fairly certain I was just blind and dumb as a kid. High school straightened me right out. Now I dislike and giggle at these films with the appropriate amount of disdain.
The Artsiest Fan-Film You Will Probably Ever See
The following 17-minute movie is about a comic book character, but I’m not going to spoil who. You’re just going to have to watch and enjoy.
The little movie is written and directed by Joe Lynch, the same guy behind that Punisher fan-film Dirty Laundry from a few years ago. This film is long, sure, and it’s in an odd black and white style, similar to a classic foreign film called Man Bites Dog. But don’t let that scare you. Like I said, it’s the artsiest and neatest fan film you will probably ever see.
