Enjoy.

Tauntaun Sleeping Bag!!!

Yes my friends, that is a sleeping bag that looks like a tautaun from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and this is no joke.

Remember when Han and Luke were stranded in the snowy desert of Hoth. Han used Luke’s lightsaber to cut open a tauntaun and sleep within it’s warm guts. Now your child can experience that awesome moment with the Tauntaun sleeping bag.

It comes complete with a lightsaber zipper, because there is absolutely no other way to open up your tauntaun. It also has a printed organ pattern on the inside for that extra bit of detail.

You can sleep in a tauntaun for $99.99 on ThinkGeek.com.

So you’ve read all of this?

You must be a Star Wars fan.

Here’s a little something special for you. The deeper you get into this video, the funnier it gets.

I love how pleased the guy is with himself. Superb.

Modern Warfare 2 Breaks Records, Sequel in the Works

The new first-person shooter, Modern Warfare 2 has smashed the entertainment industry’s sales records selling 4.7 million copies on its release date (Crosswalk). A new sequel is already in the works. The Onion News Network has the scoop on their next war game; this time it’s as realistic as it’s ever going to get.

Windows 7 Inspired By Mac OS X & Other Obvious Stuff

A Microsoft official admitted that Windows 7 is inspired by Apple’s operating system (Microsoft official admits Windows 7 design inspired by Mac OS X).

In other news, the Droid is inspired by the iPhone, cigarettes lead to cancer, consuming alcohol will get you drunk, and the Pope poops (when he’s having a good day).

Reading that post gave me the urge to state the obscenely obvious.

Monday Morning Silliness

Andrew WK’s music doesn’t do a thing for me, but he is clearly a funny dude.

Happy Halloween

The Legend of Neil

There is a growing number of quality web video series that are mostly target towards geekier audiences, in large part because geeks are the web pioneers, and geeks are also the early adopters of this kind of stuff.

With that in mind, I present to you, The Legend of Neil.

The Legend of Neil is a web series that is based on the classic videogame, The Legend of Zelda. Basically, a loser named Neil is sucked into the videogame where he is the game where he assumes the role of the hero.

The show is ridiculously funny, but it’s one of those things where you probably should have played at least one Zelda game to fully appreciate. For instance, if you don’t know that the hero of the Zelda games is a guy named Link, you most likely won’t have enough background knowledge to completely enjoy the show.

Actress and geek queen bee, Felicia Day shows up to costar in a few of the episodes as the Fairy. All I’ll say is that Ms. Day is usually typcast as the crazy cat girl or the geeky friend by Hollywood… her role here is absolutely not the crazy cat girl or the geeky friend.

Finally, The Legend of Neil is not safe for work. In terms of humor, it takes quite a bit to really shock me. The Legend of Neil made me blush on a number of occasions.

You can watch all 14 (4-9 minute) episodes on the show’s website: http://effinfunny.com/legend-of-neil

my parents were awesome dot com

Oh BoingBoing, you give me the greatest gifts… and now I’m sharing.

Behold! My Parents Were Awesome.

For the record, these people are not my parents.

Yeah, that’s right, people can submit photos of their parents from long forgotten era (perhaps they never remembered in the first place).

Don’t Make Me Do My Special Move!

My friend, coworker, and designer extraordinaire RJay Haluko photoshopped the hell out of a picture of me from a company bowling outing.

I saw a videogame called “Dragon Punch” and couldn’t help but strike my best Street Fighter pose… he did the rest in about 15 minutes while I was picking up lunch.

P.S. – If you found this site by googling “RJay Haluko,” who are you? Fess up to your stalking here. You know who you are.

Bringing the Funny

It’s been a long day of air travel and unnecessary BS. Before I pass out I’d like to share an epic YouTube video of a candid camera gag going horribly wrong somewhere in Europe… incidentally, this video is a perfect metaphor for my day.

More Cowbell!

I’ve covered a number of pop culture references on this blog, but if there is one that I want everyone in the world to understand, it’s the phrase “more cowbell.”

If you already get it, you can just move on. If you don’t, please stick around and catch the “fever.”

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Christopher Walken on SNL circa 2000… before SNL sucked.

(Click here to view the video; I can’t find an embeddable one)

Want to find out more? There’s a rather extensive Wikipedia page on the subject of “More Cowbell…” no joke.

Sell the Vatican

In less than a day, Sarah Silverman’s latest video has almost 30,000 views on YouTube. The odds are good that this won’t be the last time someone shows you this video this week.

She really has incredible delivery of her material.

Maybe Disney can buy the Vatican. “Purity rings” all around!

Who the Hell is Patti Ann Browne?

Geek news & entertainment show, Attack of the Show (AOTS as it is referred to by geeks on message boards) aired a series of clips of Fox News anchor Patti Ann Browne… she’s clearly nuts and awesome (this stuff is real).

Crazy right? Here’s some more…

Fox News seems like the wrong fit for her, CBS should get rid of that has-been Letterman and hire her.

“Keep Fucking That Chicken”

Dear Al Gore,

New York News anchor Ernie Anastos made some unexpected and embarrassing statements on the air a few days ago. Before you invented the Internet, that would have been over in a flash.

Those who were watching would have been shocked. Maybe they would question if they heard what they thought they heard. Some would have spoken with their friends. It would have been a tiny local issue.

Now Ernie isn’t just famous in the greater New York City area, he is Internet famous! His statement will never die. Lucky him.

Thanks Al for creating the Internet to preserve and pass on stupidity like this.

Hulk-Ku

The new video game Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is a pretty big waste of time. I’m kind of mortified that I took the time to play it through to the end. However, there was one thing at the end that almost made it worth my time; Hulk reciting a series of haiku.

Allow me to save you $60.00 and a bunch of time by sharing a video of the audio file:

As far as the game goes, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 commits a few major gaming offenses.

1. The enemies all feel the same. The big difference is that some of them take more time to kill. Otherwise, everything feels very repetitive.
2. It rewards you greatly for breaking things in the scenery. Rewarding a player for doing pointless things like breaking scenery means that they will. It’s an annoying waste of time.
3. Unlocking characters. I’m pretty tired of having to unlock characters. Why all of the hoop jumping?

I love the characters. I wanted to enjoy the game… but I can’t. It’s just not very good.
