Harpuahound, a member of the Engraver’s Cafe forum, made this wonderful ring with the TARDIS in the middle, the Starfleet logo on one side and (not shown) the space shuttle on the opposite side. Is the shuttle an Armageddon reference?

Sending a secret holographic message with an astromech droid? That's so outdated!

Want to know what two googly eyed chins thought about the blockbuster movie The Avengers? They loved it, and if you have a strange sense of humor you’ll love watching them talk about The Avengers, and other weird stuff, like a pair of real life chinigans.
Spoiler alert: the chins talk about something that happens within the first ten minutes of the film, so if you’re worried about going in to see the movie without knowing anything about it don’t watch. Otherwise, enjoy the madness review!

If you know and love the Back To The Future trilogy, but you’ve never understood how they filmed the hoverboard scene, or made a Delorean fly through the air, then this set of behind the scene photos might help.
Some are candid portraits, others show the crew hard at work getting the shot to look just right, and they all show the cast and crew having a genuinely good time filming the iconic trilogy.
And with 65 pics in this collection, it’s nerd-stalgia at its finest!

Tyler Garcia found a vinyl record of Gustav Holst’s “The Planets” and, like Michelangelo and the stone, saw an AT-AT inside. Also, a clock.
Each one of his handcrafted vinyl cuttings, most of which do not have Star Wars themes, is made to order.
Sometime in the future, your consciousness may be salvaged after your body dies and stored digitally in cyberspace. What could possibly go wrong? Tom Scott speculates on the computer world called “Life.” The subtitle is “the singularity, ruined by lawyers.” Link -via Metafilter
It’s good to know that if we ever find ourselves in the midst of a zombie apocalypse we’ll still be able to order out for pizza and a video!
The team behind Apocalypse Pizza Video are hoping to turn their project into a feature film, and by the look of this trailer it could be a lot of fun to watch! (NSFWish due to coarse language and humor)

I’ve seen my share of case mods, but this one is seriously impressive. Of course, while it looks amazing, it also seems like a huge pain in the butt to actually use on a real basis. I mean, who has room for this thing on their desk?

Show your fellow cosplayers that you mean business with this DIY Gears Of War replica shotgun, which lets you load actual shells and scare the crap out of anyone suckered in to believing it actually fires live ammo.
Built by Mike Iverson of Blind Squirrel Props, the end result is stunningly realistic, and Mike was kind enough to include exhaustive step by step photos of the process, and basic plans so you can build one of these bad boys for yourself.
Now that’s one good looking boomstick!

Leonard McCoy, Julian Bashir and the Emergency Medical Holographic program from Star Trek are doctors. They are not many, many things. This video lists all of those disclaimed occupations.
YouTube user kss5095 decided to get creative and show his love of video games at the same time with his final project for Advanced Mechatronics at Penn State, so he built a fully functioning turret like you’d find in the video game series Portal.
The turret is so sweet that it even has a soothing voice recording, which lures you out of hiding so it can blast you with laser guided NERF missiles.
This guy has a long career ahead of him in either animatronics or engineering weapons for the military, but for now he has the ultimate home defense system at his disposal, that is once he upgrades to live rounds!

The Brood Princess is hungry, so a few industrious little aliens hit that buffet counter known as Earth to find her the perfect meal, in episode 2 of Invageddon called “The Big Eating”.
This animated short delivers plenty of laughs, and the style reminds me of the video game series Alien Hominid, so it’s a win-win for cartoon fanatics like me!
If you enjoyed this short then head over to the StarArena YouTube page and check out the other animated mayhem they have to offer, it’s a good waste of time!

The Ewoks tried to eat Han, Leia and Luke. Now it’s payback time. Cake Central member Promeegirl made this cake modeled on Wicket Wystri Warrick. His features are formed with fondant and gum paste.
If you’re having trouble getting around on your own these days, why not take a tip from Star Wars and get this sweet AT-AT styled walker?
It will make you the geekiest resident at the senior center, and a big hit with the Leias at bingo night. Cool hydraulic sound effects not included.

Admit it Futurama fans, you’ve always wanted Fry & Leela to hook up, but have you ever wondered what the long-term effects of their love would be? These two youngsters seem like a pretty good guess.

How do you make a tough little critter like Pikachu even tougher? Add Gundam technology and watch him soar!
This mecha enhanced version of the pint sized furry lightning generator is probably illegal to use in most battle arenas, but when Team Rocket comes to town you’ll be glad Gundamchu is on your side.
That little droid and I have been through a lot of coffee together. Instructables user iminthebathroom made a custom coffeemaker that every Star Wars fan would love. It even talks, but you’ll need a protocol droid to translate. Watch a video at the link.
Hoth is a beautiful, but inhospitable land. In fact, it’s so rough that even when shot in Lego version, it still seems terrible rather than silly -with the exception of those sweet pictures of Darth and the storm troopers skiing.
Jill of Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons has a knack for making food crafts that are simple but completely convincing. She assembled her latest creation for her five-year old Star Wars fan. To duplicate it, all you’ll need is an apple, a marshmallow, 2 chocolate chips, peanut butter and a toothpick.

The Dalek Empire has fallen on hard times, according to Martyn Crofts. Here he is on Britain’s Got Talent singing Roger Miller’s “King of the Road.” His costume is slightly inferior to that of the first Daleks to appear on Doctor Who. It’s a pot on his head.
Mr. Crofts did not win, which I think is a travesty.

Ridley Scott’s prequel Prometheus comes out next month, so prepare yourself by revisiting the original Alien movies. Or maybe just the first couple of them. Go look at a collection of photographs taken on the set of the first film -and you’ll get to see the actor who is inside this Alien Queen costume. Link

Yodeling is retro-cool on Dagobah now. Still, I suspect that this is not the real Yoda and that someone has manipulated the video.

If The Avengers was a stage play in 1887 rather than a movie in 2012, then the Black Widow would still be just as sexy…just in a completely different way. So would Princess Leia, Cat Woman, Wonder Woman and Red Sonia. Depending on where you stand on historical lingerie, you may, or may not, prefer these antique versions (I personally do). Needless to say, some of the pictures are a touch risque although none of them feature nudity or anything too raunchy.
If you think of yourself as a serious gamer, yet you’ve never played the 1993 Super Nintendo classic Star Fox then you owe it to yourself to hunt down the emulator ROM and give it a whirl because it is an awesome gaming experience.
Youtuber Rickonami is obviously a fan of Star Fox, since he an a few friends created this shiny new intro sequence as a tribute to the game’s greatness, complete with updated 3d models and visual effects.

With Avengers fever sweeping through movie theaters across the globe, it’s time for yet another Avengers related post-now with cute side-by-side comparisons!
Here are eight dogs that resemble the cast of The Avengers and they’re pretty much spot on, especially the cocker spaniel-Scarlett Johansson resemblance. Is there a sequel with an all canine cast in the works?
