We love video mashups, but this is insane, several songs and score segments come together to make one excellent music video and mashup.
Stop motion plus some favorite retro toys equals one awesome video titled The King of LEGOland. And yes, Micronauts are still cool.
Talked about for months, the official Dragon Age webseries, titled “Redemption”, hits the web. Enjoy it here!
In getting you ready for this weekend’s prequel/reboot of The Thing, here’s a flashy musical that wraps up John Carpenter’s classic film nicely.
In what should become a regular prank at Madame Tussauds, Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu put the scare into some unsuspecting football fans.

This week, we’ve been bringing you tons of coverage from Comic-Con International 2011, a great deal of which included some great interviews with the modern era “Geek Girl.” Those names were only the snack to the main course which is the ultimate geek girl: Felicia Day.
Best known for several shorts on the web from Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog to her own series with MSN, The Guild, Felicia has lately shifted over to the world of TV with an upcoming stint on Syfy’s Eureka.
So now after taking over our internet tubes and our TV boxes, what’s left for geek goddess Felicia Day? How about the rest of the year off?
Looks like it takes a lot out of one to be in so many places at once, so she’ll be taking the rest of this year off to focus on writing and a few other low-key projects.
Take a look at what else Felicia had to say about her upcoming sabbatical and her role on Eureka. Also, be sure to keep it here for more interviews and exclusive content straight from San Diego Comic-Con 2011.

One of the great things about producing a series for the web is that quite often, you get to do a project that has tremendous geek-appeal, yet whose economics are such it would never make it to television or the movies. Felicia Day is living that dream as the star of a new six-episode web-series based on Bioware’s successful Dragon Age video game.
Felicia day is, of course, already well-known to video game fans as the creative force behind The Guild web series, a hilarious sit-com now in its fifth season. The web-series follows a group of players of a fictitious MMORPG (largely based on WoW) and focuses on both their in-game and out-of-game hi jinx.
Felicia is reportedly writing, producing, directing and starring in the new series as sexy elven assassin, “Tallis.” The events take place around the same time period as Bioware’s forthcoming sequel, Dragon Age II. Fans of the original game can look forward to a demo of Dragon Age II on February 22 for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 as well as a PC-version. The game will be available in stores in North America on March 8, 2011 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 console, PC and Mac.

While most folks like to sleep in after consuming mass quantities of tryptophan and sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving day, some crazies (myself included) are up at the crack of dawn the next day, waiting in line at the local electronics and DVD store to fight the masses and get the best deals.
Luckily, with the invention of the Internet comes some sly dogs who have posted most of the great Black Friday deals online, mere days before the epic sales. Thanks to sites like BlackFriday.info and GottaDeal.com, we can now sit back in the luxury of our homes to check out some of the great deals we plan on taking advantage of this Friday.
Of the many, many deals going on that day, we’ve decided to break down a few of our favorite picks for the holiday sale, just for you, our loyal readers. One of the best picks, by far, is Best Buy’s Samsung Blu-Ray Player with Netflix and Pandora support for $149.99. If you’re looking to finally upgrade to Blu-ray, that would be the machine to start with.
Once you’ve got the Blu-ray player out of the way, why not grab some good Blu-ray discs? If you don’t want to leave the house, Amazon has got some great deals including Chuck: The Complete First Season for $20.99, the Batman Anthology for $51.99, and even Ocean’s Eleven and Twelve for $9.99.
Switching over to video games, Best Buy seems to have some of the better deals (even the “best”), but only if you’re able to get to the store before noon on Friday. You can pick up Brutal Legend, Left 4 Dead 2, and Dragon Age for the Next Gen systems for only $34.99.
These are just some of the great deals going on Friday, and we hope you’re able to get out to the stores (or not) and take advantage of some of these great sales. Happy Thanksgiving!
