A gag based on an old Apple IIe game. Does it get any better? ;)

So Telltale (makers of the latest Back to the Future game) want to take a crack at King's Quest next.

Yeah, um...

This isn't like what they're doing with Back to the Future. This will be a reboot. The phrase "don't fix what ain't broke" comes to mind.

Remember in Superman The Animated Series when Mr. Mxyzptlk inserted himself into Clark Kent's Sunday comics page? Well, here's a screenshot. I didn't know the page also had knockoffs of Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, and other popular strips.

Someone singing the theme to The Original Series, complete with the lyrics that Gene Roddenberry wrote. Y'know, the ones that were never meant to be sung?

I have a book of Star Trek sheet music that has those lyrics. I didn't realize they were written by Gene Roddenberry. Weird.

This'll be a double link.

I was feeling nostalgic, so I looked up the Popcorn Song:

In elementary school they used to play this song when we played Parachute Popcorn:

(I recommend putting the game video into a loop when listening to the music. Use the Endless YouTube site at http://endlessvideo.com/)

Parachute Popcorn was fun. :)

Some geeks attempting to eat some Four Horseman Burgers. Apparently eating these absurdly spicy burgers is a challenge.

(As an aside, extra kudos for the guy wearing the Overclocked Remix shirt)

A 99 cents store is now trying to take even more money. Now instead of the prices ending in 99 cents, they end in 99.99 cents.

This is even worse than when the gas pumps did it. Ugh.

A fanvid making fun of the time travel in Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask by using jokes from Back to the Future. By the end Link is wearing Marty's orange vest. Funny!

A NextGen joke in XKCD. Groovy.

You guys just had to see this. They actually made Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures wearing Star Trek uniforms.

Nate the Great 06-22-2011 12:43 AM

As a fan of Duke Nukem I've long been following the Duke Nukem Forever fiasco. I was heartened to hear that the guy with the ancient preorder reciept is getting his dues at last:

The preorder reciept itself.

The load of swag he got.

Just when I thought I knew all the tricks and glitches in Ocarina of Time, Mike of Cinemassacre teaches me a new one: swimming on land.

I'm sure we all love it when the EMH turns into the Emergency Command Hologram, but what happens when someone turns Voyager into a James Bond movie starring everyone's favorite Holodoc?

Epicness, that's what.

At 6:50 the California Raisins do a Star Trek spoof. Um, yeah...

NAHTMMM 07-11-2011 12:37 PM

:D :D Good stuff!

A blog whose purpose is to cut candy bars in half and take high-resolution scans of their cross-sections so we can see them. In a way, it's relaxing.

A short CG cartoon in honor of the 20th anniversary of The Rocketeer! I'll be the first to admit it's not the greatest movie ever, but it's fun escapism.

http://xkcd.com/980/huge/#x=-3352&y=-7184&z=4

XKCD did a breakdown of what all of the gifts mentioned in the song "If I had $1000000" would cost. If you don't want to zoom among the picture I'll just list the relevant figures:

Furniture: $21,160
Plymouth Reliant: $3,000
Tree Fort: $15,000
Llama: $2,120
Joseph Merrick's Remains: Unavailable.
House: $224, 820
Tiny Fridge: $99.08
Gourmet Pre-Wrapped Sausages: $34.48
Kraft Dinner: $3.06
Expensive Ketchup: $10.75
Faux Fur Coat: $198.00
Limo Ride to Store: $186.59

They claim all of this would be $263,330

Um, not all items are listed. Mentioned in the song but not priced are:

Joseph Merrick's Remains: Sure, you can't BUY them, but with a million dollars I'm sure you could arrange a theft. This guy is trying to impress his girlfriend, right?
Limo: Um, I'm sure the singer wasn't thinking of "a" limo ride to the store (listed above), but actually purchasing and maintaining a limousine. And the services of a chauffeur, too.
Green (but not REAL green) dress: Probably skipped because "dress" is such a vague term. What size? What brand? How fancy of a dress?
Picasso or Garfunkel Painting: Seriously, I refuse to believe that every single painting made by these two is unavailable for purchase.
Monkey: If pet llamas are available, why not monkeys?
