Geek Culture & Nostalgia
Filmmaker Freddie Wong imagines the future of gaming as an alternate reality shooter with a slick heads-up display. In his clever video we see a really cool sci-fi scenario being played out. Could we all be gearing up for back-alley shoot outs in a few years? If it has to involve the poorly received PlayStation Movie, I’m guessing the answer is “no.”

If you visualized the contents of the Internet in the form of a pie chart, the two largest portions would be cat videos and discussions about Star Wars. This video intersects both subjects with cute and hilarious results.
I thoroughly enjoyed the new Captain America movie. In fact, I think it’s safe to say that I loved it. Since seeing it I’ve been absorbing the character in as many ways as I can, through cartoons, the movie from the 90s, and now the 1944 serial. The story hardly has anything to do with the Captain America you know and love, but it’s an interesting piece of geek history.
Make sure to stick around until the 4:40 mark or so to hear a scientist say “How did you find out about my vibrator?”

In the third episode of Bubble Pipe Theater, Rob, John, and Tommy are joined by a very special guest, Alex Deligiannis. Alex is a color stylist at Nickelodeon, having worked on The Fairly Odd Parents and the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, and he created our wonderful sasquatch illustration. Join us as we talk about TMNT, comic books, video games, and movies.
DeviantART user and Tumblr-er Demiurgic has a lot of great art on her sites, but I can’t stop going back to her versions of the Mario Bros. and Link. They’re just too cute. I love the style of her work, I just wish she had some prints available.
Be sure to check out all her pieces, she’s got everything from a super cute surfing Pikachu to Ed and Shaun and the TMNT. Keep up the awesome work Becky!
