Hate me all you want

but I'm actually pretty stoked about the My Chemical Romance album coming out next month.



I've always been a fan of My Chemical Romance. They have a fabulously tongue-in-cheek sense of humor about themselves that I think a lot more bands should take to heart. they have fun onstage while being fun to watch, making them easily my favorite band to see live.

Anyone who knows me at all will pick up immediately on the aesthetic vibe of this video being pretty much what the inside of my brain looks like. It's like a ten year old boy circa 1995 on a post-Halloween sugar high trying to explain the Tank Girl movie, but without the kangaroos. There's nothing about it that I don't absolutely love. Plus, death by Power Glove. I mean, COME ON. The only way you could possibly hate on this is if you hate fun.


A word of warning, though: the song is catchy as all hell and WILL get stuck in your head.

the best calendar of 2011 is already up for preorder!

Those of you who know me already know that I can't say enough great things about OtakuBooty.com, my favorite social networking site for people who are completely functional adults and just-so-happen to have some nerdy interests. I've met some amazing people through OtakuBooty, and will absolutely continue to support it even in these tough economic times.

With that said, the economic strain is absolutely being felt over there, and the owner/admin is doing everything in his power to keep the site running at a nearly nonexistent subscription price. That's where some incredibly giving members of the site stepped in.

The ladies of Pixelette Pinups in Atlanta, GA had the great idea to put together a pin-up calendar to benefit the site. All of the photographers, models, and stylists are members of Otaku Booty who donated their time, effort, and in some cases even flew across the country to be involved. Many of the models dipped into their own pockets for costumes and props, and the Pixelette studio had to shut down to paying customers for several days to get all the photos done in time.

From what I've seen so far and the other photos that Pixelette host on their site, the calendar is sure to be phenomenal. It will, however, be only a limited print beyond what their preorder count is, so click the banner above and reserve a copy now!

an interval of silliness (VIDEO NSFW)

this is probably the shortest video that Happy Harry Toons has posted to youtube, but it's easily one of my favorites.

have a great weekend, everyone!

it's a bird! it's a plane! it's another sketchdump!

what ever happened to puppeteering as a form of entertainment?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mark Hamill on the Muppet Show circa 1980.


REMEMBER ALDERAAAAANNNNNN!

viewing this for the first time since childhood has confirmed something for me:

Family programming really WAS better when we were kids*. It's not just the nostaglia rose-colored glasses on this one. Then again, there was an infinitely higher demand for programming for the entire family before the internet.

If you're old enough to remember before the internet became a household thing, I want you to meditate on that for a second. Think about that first dial-up modem and the screeching sounds it made when you connected. If you were the first cool kid on the block with a computer, remember having a limited number of minutes each month that you could be on line, like cell phone minutes.

Now try and picture how you're going to explain to your kids someday that you're older than the internet.







*(I use the term 'we' in the vaguest sense, as none of us at YourGeekWorld.com were born yet when The Muppet Show was canceled in 1981, though it was still on the air throughout most of our childhoods.)

the ultimate team-up, coming soon!

oh, that's right.

Dr. McNinja and Axe Cop. Together for six pages!

I've spent the last two years with the same nagging question in the back of my head every time I peruse the internet. Is there anything out there that makes less sense than jedichefs.com?

After many exhausting hours of research, I've resigned myself to the fact that, as far as pages written in English (excluding fetish porn), there really isn't.

So, what's their deal?

I honestly have no idea. I've been poking around the website for over an hour, and I'm still not sure. I do, however, know that they raise money for Cancer Research UK, So I suppose that even nonsense has its merits.


I think the part of Jedi Chefs that's most confusing is the Celebrity Jedi Chef page, which is an alphabetized list of image galleries featuring pictures of celebrities, primarily from sci-fi shows, donning the website's signature floppy chef hats and wielding lightsabers. For the most part, the celebs look just as confused as we are, though some of them seem to have excellent sense of humor about the whole ordeal.

Alan Tudyk, for example, is looking a little scared. His former 'Firefly' co-star Sean Maher, however, seems to be taking it in stride.
The number of celebrities they've managed to get to take these ridiculous pictures is staggering. A considerable amount of the casts of Buffy, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, Stargate SG-1,various Star Treks, the new and old Star Wars trilogies, and folks from all over Doctor Who fill the list, making me wonder if perhaps the YGW Away Team needs a silly gimmick to get us some celebrity endorsements. I'm pretty sure there isn't anything the guys wouldn't be willing to do if it meant a picture of them with, say for example, Felicia Day.


I don't know what confuses me more: what's going on, or why so many geek celebs are in on it!
