Our torrid love affair with the art of Patrick Ballesteros continues! If you’ve somehow missed the 4 other times we’ve featured and blogged about his work, go here. This time he’s back with an Indiana Jones inspired piece called Indy Art. The piece will be on display at Bottleneck Gallery until May 26, where the theme of the [...]

On the heels of DC Comics’ announcement that He-Man and the Masters of the Universe will once more face off against DC’s mightiest heroes, Funny Or Die has released this parody NBC video announcing She-Ra (“starring” Kylie Minogue) as a new show on their schedule. Gotta say, “She-Ra Weintraub” is still a better alias than [...]

One thing I’ve noticed since I began blogging and podcasting: people will go out of their way to tell you they don’t care about you and your opinions. That’s what makes Michael Ian Black’s response to one of the first (of many) who jumped on him for tweeting a Dos Equis-sponsored message so great. @michaelianblack [...]

Check out this “Girls of Greyskull” album showcasing the lovely ladies of Masters of the Universe. I stumbled onto this via Reddit- if anyone knows who the artist is, I’d love to give them credit and link to any other work they’ve done. There was no additional info on Reddit or imgur that I could [...]

I love it when a mashup comes together. As far as sci-fi juggernaut + 80s TV theme mashups go, this Avengers + The A-Team intro is as good as (if not better than) the Star Wars/Magnum P.I. one from 2009 (Han Solo, P.I.) Can somebody get on a Thor/Fall Guy for me? What other good [...]

Let us be the first to say it – May the 4th be with you! OK, technically Star Wars Day isn’t until tomorrow, but nobody visits our site on the weekends so we had to post this a day early, and frankly, this is a topic that we should have tackled long ago (in [...]

There is a time in the lives of many many geeks: a time when someone finds it in their heart to sleep with us. Then there’s another time: a time a couple of weeks later when there is an awkward silence after the two of you stare at a stick with some piss on it. [...]

There are many great things about being young and single: drinking, being hung over, pissing through money to name a few. Possibly the greatest of them all: complete enjoyment of television shows without any debate. Back then I could hold anything I saw on TV as the gospel truth. Problems were solved in half an [...]

It’s deceptively simple to become a pro wrestler. I’ve met and talked with many in my day, some I consider friends. Here’s how it’s done: Find a wrestling school. Don’t give up. Drive hundreds and thousands of miles honing your craft. Earn everything you get. Along the way there will be bills that need to [...]

This video, which makes all other Rube Goldberg machines look like this, is insanely elaborate and visually stunning. The video for A-Trak (1/3 of the trio behind one of my favorite songs of 2012) & Tommy Trash’s “Tuna Melt” is directed by Ryan Staake, but what I want to know is who is the camera operator [...]

This infographic from Online Schools was created back in 2011. I missed it then, so I figured I’d share it in case any of my fellow Joe fans missed it as well. Apologies for the small and fuzzy print, the embed code from the original source isn’t working anymore, so this is the most I [...]

In case you missed it, I had a conniption last month over an artist’s rendering of Masters of the Universe LEGO Minifigures. That artist was Gregos Thomas, and he was cool enough to send over a few more images of the MOTU LEGO Minifigs after seeing how bonkers I was for them. I’ve been fortunate to email [...]

It was announced yesterday that WWE’s Bella Twins, along with fellow Divas The Funkadactyls, Natalya and Eva Marie will be starring in a new E! reality series following their “challenges both inside and outside of the ring”. I’ll resist the urge to speculate on what kind of “challenges” the Divas endure outside of the ring, but [...]

As more and more comic book properties are converted to major motion picture franchises, some amount of straying from the source material is to be expected. We’ve lucked out with many successful comic book movie franchises, but there have been some stinkers and false starts. When a comic based movie is unsuccessful, fanboys typically cite [...]

You know what I’m sick of? The allusion that video games are still just child’s play. Family-friendly mascots like Mario and Sonic are still around, but seriously, let’s have a look at the facts. The biggest selling entertainment properties on the planet include a series of hard-nosed military shooters, and football games that appeal [...]

It’s not hard to pinpoint the time frame that influenced artist Christopher Lee. He’s clearly a fellow child of the 80s, and a talented one at that. I had bookmarked a link to his Masters of the Universe Compendium Poster (which I will have, bills be damned) a while back, but just got a chance to [...]

With the recent news that Paramount has greenlit a third G.I. Joe movie, one thing can be said about G.I. Joe: Retaliation- it truly was in the hands of a lifelong G.I. Joe fan. When Jon Chu was announced as the director of Retaliation, Joe fans were optimistic about his credentials (including me - I only asked [...]
