First Look at Super Best Friends Forever!
Super Best Friends Forever looks to be one of the cutest, funnest superhero cartoons ever. All thanks to the brilliant and adorable mind of Lauren Faust, the creative wizard behind My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I am a brony, by the way, and proud to admit it. So I’m really looking forward to what Faust can do with Batgirl, Supergirl and Wonder Girl in the new shorts that will debut as part of the DC Nation block this Saturday.
Here’s our first actual teaser clip!
What the heck is up with Batgirl?
Otherwise, it looks fantastic!!
The Greatest Recipe for Time Travel I Have Ever Seen – Also, Mineral Water
Do you like mineral water? You will after drinking Vytautas Mineral Water! It’s made from Earth! And has something to do with a giant space bear, three random animals and spinning an electric eel so fast you tear a whole in the space time continuum! Watch and be amazed!
My 6 Favorite Star Wars Expanded Universe Characters
Have you ever wondered what kind of power vacuum there must have been in the Empire after the Rebels blew up the second Death Star, killing Darth Vader and the Emperor? Or who were the first Jedi who discovered the Force and built the first lightsabers? Did Han Solo and Princess Leia ever settle down and have kids? Or if Luke Skywalker heralded the ‘Return of Jedi’, who were the rest? Well wonder no more, because pop culture has you covered. Welcome to the Star Wars Expanded Universe, a collection of books, comics, video games and cartoons that tell the rest of the story.
For the saga of Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance is only a fraction of the larger, grander Star Wars Universe. Dedicated fans, geeks and professional writers have expanded beyond the movies to tell more and more stories. The Expanded Universe is the greatest, geekiest bit of fandom there’s every been – and what’s more, it’s all A-OK’d by George Lucas himself. It’s all licensed and approved!
We're talking Jedi Wookies with lightsabers, people!
I love the Expanded Universe. I think it’s gloriously geeky and riveting. I love that for every single minor or background character that appears in the six main movies, the fans and professional writers have created full and rich backstories. I once read a book called Death Star, about the building of the first Death Star (bad book, don’t read it). Several times in the first Star Wars film, A New Hope, Darth Vader meets with other Imperial agents aboard the Death Star. Well one of the armed guards standing at the door in the background of those scenes is a main character in the book Death Star. So every time I watch A New Hope, I can point to the guard and say ‘that’s Atour Riten!’ Weird name.
But that’s the glory of the Expanded Universe, filling in the cracks and telling the stories beyond the six movies. Allow me to introduce you to My 6 Favorite Star Wars Expanded Universe Characters.
Mr. Freeze: The Musical
The genius of the Internet strikes again with a musical based on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s performance as Mr. Freeze, in what has collectively been decided is the worst movie of all time: Batman and Robin. That movie exists now to be mocked, and the brilliance of Legolambs have stepped up. They are the same people who made Mario: The 8-Bit Opera and Conan: The Musical.
Listen and be happy that such people exist.
There Are More Giant Little Girls in Mass Effect Than I Remember
The glory that is Tobuscus is back with a Literal interpretation of the Mass Effect 3 trailer. You may remember him from that Literal Lord of the Rings trailer that I posted and loved? Well I love this one just as much! I may now spend my entire afternoon watching Tobuscus Literal trailers.
Also, I plan to get Mass Effect 3 one of these days…
