We like quirky, and so should you. It’s fun and often ends up giving us some insight into the human condition while also being entertaining. That’s a good thing.

And speaking of quirky (see what we did there?) IFC has a new show premiering tomorrow night (Friday) called Out There and we gotta say, it looks pretty interesting — and yes, quirky.

We’ve got a little preview for the series after the jump, so be sure and check that out. Also, in case you were wondering, here’s some info about the show itself:

The ten episode series chronicles the socially awkward Chad Stevens and his best friend, Chris Novak. Living in the small town of Holford in the middle of nowhere, the boys wander the surreal, bleak landscape waiting out their last few years of high school and discovering that growing up is weird to do.

As we told you earlier, Microsoft kicked off their E3 festivities with what could be considered a fairly standard and unsurprising Press Conference. As expected, they announced the anticipated console exclusive, Halo 4. Upping the ante from last year, this E3 brought gameplay footage of Halo 4 to the audience with a first look at the new enemies and weapons as well as some familiar faces from past Halos. Microsoft would follow with footage of the new Splinter Cell: Black List which uses enhanced Kinect controls.

Following on the Kinect bandwagon, EA debuted footage of the latest Fifa and Madden franchises. In Fifa, players will be able to make coaching decisions and their reactions will be read by the Kinect and penalties may even be awarded based on poor sportsmanship. In Madden, NFL Hall of Fame Quarterback Joe Montana demonstrated the game’s new Kinect enabled play calling features.

After the Fable: The Journey trailer, Microsoft Studios brought out studio head Phil Spencer who introduced the trailer for the new Gears of War: Judgment, staring Baird, and then the latest racing experience with Forza Horizon.

South Park is one of those shows that just doesn’t seem to get old. After years and years of popular TV, a theatrical movie and countless other tie-ins, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have been able to keep the franchise fresh. A lot of that is due to the timely and topical nature of the series, which in and of itself is born from the show’s simplicity.

That simplicity can be deceptive, so when Obsidian claimed they were making an epic RPG based on South Park that would feel like you were playing an actual episode there was skepticism. Sure the screen caps looked stellar, but those are easy to produce, we needed to see something more.

At the 2012 E3 Microsoft Conference we finally got our first glimpse at the game in action, and it looks like mission accomplished for Obsidian. The animation looks smooth, the designs are awesome and most importantly the humor is there. One big reason for that last part is the game itself is being written by Trek Parker and Matt Stone, making this truly as much on an interactive episode as you could possibly get.

The game will be released on the PS3 and 360 in early 2013, but for now take a look at the full E3 trailer after the jump.

It’s that time of year. No, we don’t mean Girl Scout Cookie time. It’s time for an all new batch of episodes from our favorite degenerate animators Matt Stone and Trey Parker (along with their hard-working crew). Comedy Central returns with its flagship animated sitcom, South Park this Wednesday at 10PM.

This week, the envelope is once again pushed with an episode titled “Reverse Cowgirl.” Here’s an official synopsis.

One of the boys had been told time and time again about leaving the toilet seat up after he goes to the bathroom, but he didn’t listen. His actions have consequences and ultimately result in an unimaginable catastrophe.

As if that isn’t enough for you, be sure to take a look at an exclusive clip after the jump. Catch “Reverse Cowgirl” on Comedy Central this Wednesday night at 10PM.

The Bitcast returns this week with their record setting 8th Episode featuring the Flickcast’s own version of Mario & Luigi, though JC and WallE will both always lay claim to being the star of the episode.

In the News of the Week, JC and WallE discuss the upcoming Spike Video Game Awards show and speculate on the upcoming announcement from Epic Games, the makers of Gears of War and the Infinity Blade franchises. They also discuss the 10th Anniversary of Grand Theft Auto III coming to iOS before getting into detail with South Park: The Game coming from Obsidian. They even talk Beta numbers for Star Wars: The Old Republic and announce the current and upcoming DLC for Goldeneye 007: Reloaded, sadly with the absence of Sean Bean.

In the Long Grind in Skyrim this week, JC gets in detail on both the dragons and music of the Elder Scrolls V.

For the Topic of the Week, WallE shows that he can handle both movies and gaming as he discusses the scores composed for some of the most influential titles in gaming history.

Coming off of the heels of potentially tragic news in the world of comedy television in NBC putting Community on ice, there is some excellent news to brighten our spirits. Comedy Central has agreed to renew South Park through its full 20 seasons, bringing it through 2016.

Deadline was able to nail down the comedic duo of Matt Stone and Trey Parker to see what they had to say.

Parker and Stone will continue to write, direct and edit every episode of South Park, as they have since the series’ premiere in 1997. “The collective genius of Matt and Trey knows no bounds,” Comedy Central’s president Michele Ganeless said. “Week after week and season after season they continue to surprise and delight South Park fans, and that includes all of us here at Comedy Central. We’re thrilled that the adventures of Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman will continue through 2016.”

Last Sunday, Adult Swim premiered their newest foray into the realm of live action spoofs: The Heart, She Holler. Consider it Twin Peaks meets Passions with loads of incest and moments you can’t forget if you tried.

We got the chance to speak with the series’ star, Patton Oswalt, about the insanity of the show on Friday, and even he couldn’t do it justice with a description. Now, we’ve got the mastermind behind the show, Vernon Chatman, to shed some light on the its origin. Let’s see if he can do a better job.

Chatman is best known for some of the weirdest and funniest television of the past few years like Wonder Showzen, Xavier: Renegade Angel, and even doing tons of work (not to mention being the voice of “Towlie”) for South Park.

After the jump, check out what Chatman had to say about The Heart, She Holler, and catch the miniseries airing every night this week, and repeating every night after Sunday at 12:45pm, only on Adult Swim. 

• It’s a complete nerd circle of life as the Imperial March from Star Wars is performed using two floppy disk drives.

• What happens when Looney Tunes meets Anime meets heavy rock music? A complete f’ing 80’s metal dream, that’s what.

• We’ve gotten our fair share of art and set pics from The Avengers, but now we’re getting them all together for the cover of Entertainment Weekly.

• The sheer fact that Superman’s Girl, Lois Lane was an actual comic at one point is ridiculous enough, but here are some of the most ludicrous covers from the series.

• Apparently, people are still going nuts for how awesome The Big Lebowski was, here are some awesome original paintings of scenes from the film.

• Not much is known about how quickly episodes are made for Comedy Central’s South Park, but finally we’ll get an idea with the new documentary 6 Days to Air.

Trey Parker has always been vocal about his love of musicals. Dating back to his time in college and his first feature film, Parker has shown a consistent appreciation of the musical experience. So it was only a natural that he would parlay that success into an actual Broadway show.

After the mega success of South Park and several feature films, Trey Parker and Matt Stone invaded Broadway with their brand of irreverent humor and sharp social commentary with The Book of Mormon. It premiered to critical acclaim, and sold out shows, igniting a new found passion for musicals amongst fans who would otherwise avoid Broadway.

That success has not gone unnoticed by the theater community, The Book of Mormon has recently received 14 Tony nominations. This puts Trey and Matt that much closer to the elusive “EGOT,”  the quintuple victory that nets the recipient an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.

Trey and Matt have already won multiple Emmy’s and have been nominated for Grammy’s and an Oscar. Of all the current entertainers working today, Matt and Trey hold a unique position  as champions of alternative forms of entertainment.

The Book of Mormon is currently playing on Broadway, and the 15th season of South Park can be seen on Comedy Central Wednesdays at 10/9C.

This week on The Flickcast Chris and Matt are back to doing what they do best: working alone and without a net. Not only that but, as usual, they discuss and debate all manner of new and returning topics.

This week those include HBO’s Game of Thrones, The Avengers, Smallville and Lex Luthor’s return. In addition, they talked about the Thor movies (yes, both of them), Portal 2, a brand new, exciting product from Apple called the HumancentiPad and pretty much whatever the hell ‘else they want to talk about..

Of course, your hosts also made some picks this week including Matt’s pick of the movie Matinee and Chris’ pick of the returning HBO series Treme.
