“I say that we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.” You know, over the years, I’ve found that there are very few problems for which this is not an appropriate solution.

Comments Off It was so much easier when he was just a baby. But now that you’re Predator son is growing up, you want to teach him the things that he’ll need when he’s trying to make it on his own. How do you get through to him? How do you make him understand that you really do love him, or you wouldn’t be dragging him out to this alien planet to hunt humans?

This futile little game could only be improved by making it accessible in a command line prompt. I found it on a Joystick Division list of playable video game parodies. Among them is a RPG consisting entirely of inventory changes and a text-based version of Guitar Hero.

Comments Off The above video is a fake trailer for a movie called Blackstar Warrior — a blacksploitation film centered on Lando Calrissian. Sadly, it was never made. But you can view videos from a mockumentary about the making of this film at the link.

Comments Off Xbox’s new Kinect gaming platform may seem nifty and high-tech, but as this video shows, it can’t do all of the things that Connect Four can. It’s four times as advanced — or else, they would have called it “Connect” instead of “Connect Four, right?. Comedy courtesy of IGN.

Comments Off The comedy team Smosh consists of Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox. In this video, they explain why it would be bad for cartoons to be realistic using scenes from alternative versions of Pokémon, Dragon Ball Z, The Simpsons, He-Man, and others.

Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church cult are protesting Comic-Con in San Diego. I guess that God Hates Geeks or something. Anyway, geeks in attendance have staged a large counter-protect. Urlesque has a roundup of some of the funniest signs and costumes used.
Chuck & Beans = perfection.

New Grounds user JohnnyUtah made this short flash film that introduces the Transformers from the era of silent films. The quality is outstanding, and it’s simply cute. The video is about a minute and a half long.
Comments Off Superdouche!, a short film by Jonathan Emmerling, reminds us that there’s a lot that Superman could do around the world, but he mostly just hangs around Metropolis solving minor problems. That’s basically the point (and more) of Superdickery, an archive of Superman doing terrible things to his friends.

Comments Off College Humor takes a look at what video games would be like if they had a really, really easy mode. It gets increasingly and deliciously absurd. The Wii Fitness bit is the best.
In this great clip, clearly from a convention, Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner do a comedy routine about when Shatner stole Nimoy’s bicycle. Several times. And then chained it to a fire hydrant. Nimoy’s point? “This is not a nice guy.”
