Former child actor Corey Haim reportedly died Wednesday morning of an apparent overdose, several media outlets have confirmed. The 38-year-old who was a teen heartthrob during the late 80’s and early 90’s and known as Half of the Two Coreys. His good looks and patented laugh rose with his star when the 2 met on the set of one of the greatest Vamp movies ever “The Lost Boys” (more…)

This is not, I repeat NOT our “Sexy Cosplay of The Week” (which is up every Fri. afternoon). No, what this is, is the equivilant of taking your genitals, putting them in a blender and setting it to frap. To say this is a poor execution of cosplay would be a severe understatement. Will never look  at Felicia from Capcom’s Dark Stalkers the same ever again . As much as we are inclined to comment on this great big mess we’re just too afraid of Karma and well, fat girl backlash. We’re bastards but we’re not mean bastards. That’s what the comment section is for. I  am, though, reminded of a old sang thats rings true for todays example of Cosplay gone wrong. As Mama always said “If you can’t be a good example, you just have to be a horrible warning”. This couldn’t be more of a clearer warning to the walking mounds of flesh out there wishing to dress up as their favorite character from pop culture. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Well if this isn’t the best way to end a workday, I don’t know what is. Star Wars + Legend of Zelda + accordion – Weird Al hair = win! (more…)

It was bound to happen sooner or later, I mean c’mon, with the name iPad,some company out there would take advantage of what I think was a dumb name. The HipHandMaids has available for $40, but $30 if ya pre-order before its release, are protective sleeves for your iPad that actually has padding and wings. Here is the descriptive info for the product:

“With its durable vinyl outer layer and plush, quilted-cotton sleeve, the iMaxi helps keep your iPad clean and dry. Plus, the iMaxi’s Velcro-latched, advanced wing design wraps snugly around your device, so your iPad always stays where it should. Best of all, it shields it from all those unsightly and embarrassing data leaks that would make any motherboard worry!
It’s the perfect one-of-a-kind embarrassing gift for the Apple geek in your life! Don’t be caught letting your iPad show! ”

Yeah, I dunno if any of my Apple loving friends would want this but I could see some people getting this as  joke, but if anyone is going to get this, they should get the following color:Yeah, gotta love’em bloody.

So after what was dubbed “ApocalyPS3″ where all Original/Phat PS3 were not working because the internal clock thought it was February 29th and now with the problem all solved, it seems like the videogame world can’t rest as something else has happened. Apparently, a bunch of security showed up in the office of Infinity Ward, the developers that brought us Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare & Modern Warfare 2, and scared a bunch of the workers as they had no idea what was going on. Vince Zampella & Jason West, the two top heads of Infinity Ward, has been missing since they left for a meeting with Activision this morning.  A lot of people don’t know what to say about this as there is not much info around. There is speculation that this could be a stunt to get people not to focus on tomorrow’s release of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and have gamers pay attention to the upcoming DLC for Modern Warfare 2. Hopefully nothing really bad did or does happen or this week will indeed be a weird week of video games.

Update: Looks like we got an update and that Jason West, one of the the founding members of Infinity Ward, has parted ways with the company. There has been word that there is tension between Activision and Infinity Ward and this may be the result of it. No word on Vince Zampella at the moment.

Update 2: It seems that Activision filed an SEC, citing “breaches into contracts and insubordination by two senior employees at Infinity Ward.” As to what was breached, has not been said but this isn’t the first time Activision took a developing team to court, as one would remember they tried to sue Tim Schafer’s (Psychonauts, Brutal Legend) Double Fine for going to EA after Activision dropped them in ditch and believed that Brutal Legend wasn’t going to sell. While it’s not confirmed, Vince Zampella may be the second person mention in the SEC but has not been confirmed. One can only wonder if this will affect  the future of  the Modern Warfare franchise seeing how Activision’s favorite thing to do is milk a franchise to death, like Guitar Hero.

Update 3: It has now been confirmed that Vince Zampella has also parted ways. Sucks how they weren’t even able to go back to their offices and have a proper farewell with their co-workers.

It’s a sad day for Star Trek fans and nerds alike. We are sorry to report that actor Andrew Koenig the son of Star Treks Walter Koenig has commited suicide. The actor whose work includes Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, voicework on GI Joe and Batman fan film Dead End was supposed to be on a flight back to the United States from Vancouver, Canada, on Feb. 16th but didn’t make it back. Walter Koenig appeared at a press conference Thursday evening to confirm that a body found earlier in the day in Vancouver’s Stanley Park was that of his missing son, Andrew Koenig, the Los Angeles Times reported. “My son took his own life,” Walter Koenig said, wife Judy at his side. The Koenigs pleaded with others who may have depressed family members to recognize the signs. Walter was qouted saying:

“If you can learn anything from this, it’s that there are people out there who really care, and you may not think so, and ultimately it may not be enough, but … before you make that final decision, check it out again, talk to somebody.”

This is just terrile news. No parent should have to bury their child. We will grieve for the Koening family, pray for them and hope they can find peace as time passes.

Sometimes you find gold in the strangest of places. No link to another site. No “VIA”. Just stumbled upon. No, not “Stumble Upon” but I actually just saw it under a stack of those old archaic dinosaurs we used to look at called books. Released just a few months back, was a super weird yet hilariously accurate and based on actual events.

The Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean by Edward Kritzler. Yes. It’s a real thing and garnered it’s own hilarious review by the Washington Post. (more…)

Would you like to see San Diego Comic Con move to Anaheim, CA or Las Vegas, NV? Blashemy right? Well according to the San Diego Union Tribune these two locals are currently drawing up plans to make formal bids to house Comic Con as early as 2013. Our whole audience is or should somewhat be familiar with Comic Con. We are stating the obvious here but for those that have never been or don’t know much about it, Comic Con is the Mecca for nerds/geeks. It started in the late 70’s as a local comic book convention. Since then, the nerd/geek culture has exploded into the mainstream and Comic Con has grown with it. Once a small venue for comic book enthusisists it has evolved into a massive promo market for movie, television, video games and so on. For four full days, July 22-25, attendees can visit panels, showroom and signings, meet comic book, television and film creatives and gather with other like-minded individuals. In other words, nerd F’N paradise! However, as any past attendee can tell you, Comic is too big for its own good. In the course of 4 days and 5 nights (Fifth night being a preview night) the halls of the San Diego Convention Center see over 126,000 people. That’s a lot of people. As big as the convention center is it quite frankly can’t house that many people. Hell, when your walking around the exhibit floor your bumping shoulders with a bunch of sweaty mouth breathers and as we all know nerds don’t often shower. It’s kinda gross. Giving up personal space is not so troubling as much as not being able to get at anything. You want to check out a booth that’s 5 feet away it takes you 10 minutes to get there because the path is just jammed with people. Even if you were Andre the Giant screaming “EVERYBODY MOVE”, you wouldn’t get thru any faster because there is no room for anyone to go anywhere. That’s just getting there, never mind the wall of flesh surrounding the booth.  It’s a fucking nightmare! There are many other issues we could vent about but perhaps the biggest issue, next to convention center space, is limited hotel availability. If you are traveling to Comic Con and plan on staying then you have to book your trip a half a year if not a full year in advance or else your fucked. You won’t find a place to stay. So with these problems it’s not hard to see that Comic Con is outgrowing it’s venue. San Diego has more demands that it can meet but cities like Anaheim and Las Vegas, with their convention centers and hotels, can easily accomodate.  For Comic Con purists like myself I can’t imagine the convention anywhere else. It was born in San Diego and should remain there. However, with conventions centers like in Anaheim, which has half a million more square feet of convention space, I might be inclined to sacrfice my loyalty for a better experince. Then again, there are a bunch of other traffic like nightmares that one would have to encur should Comic Con move to Anaheim or Vegas. Anaheim is a huge tourist area. Need I mention Disney Land? F’N Vegas is just as bad. Ya, they have more hotel rooms, plenty of convention space and everything is within walking distance but the Vegas strip is as crowded as the halls of San Diego Comic Con. Despite those potential problems the benefits probably still out way the cons (haha pun intended). Despite the benefits I personally don’t see Comic Con going anywhere. It really all comes down to the fans. We are the ones that made this popular and our voice carries a lot of weight. If I’m right, fans won’t want the convention moved. Am I right in that assement? Would you guys and gals like to see Comic Con moved to a bigger and better venue like Las Vegas or are you a San Diego loyalist?

Just so you all know the organation behind the show has a contract to stay in San Diego through 2012. Anaheim is drawing up a plan to formally bid for Comic Con, and the board at Comic Con International is expected to make a decision about whether to move within the next month. Will keep you posted

Can you spot the difference with one vending machine with the others? No? Look at the ground…do you see it? The one on the bottom has FEET!!! Thats right, it’s a person disguising themselves as a Coke vending machine. Aya Tsukioka, who was inspired by ninjas, designed this skirt in which you can lift it to disguise into a vending machine when one feels the need to protect oneself from an attacker. How is it inspired by ninjas you asked? Well, when a ninja needed to hide, they bust out a black blanket like cloth to hide themselves in the night, or in some anime, a cloak that has chameleon like powers and hide anywhere they want. Tsukioka designed the skirt to let women feel a bit safer at night with this skirt and did say it may take some practice to do it quick. Check after the jump for images of the “amazing transformation” into a vending machine. (more…)

What we have here is a display of a mans fetish for latex and Spiderman. It’s by far the creepiest thing we’ve ever posted.  We advise you not to watch. No, seriously don’t. You will feel weird, strange and confused. The world just won’t make any sense to you. Please this is your last chance, turn back while you still can……..Your watching the video aren’t you? Don’t say we didn’t warn you. All there is to see is 2 minutes of a guy in a Spiderman, latex, outfit caressing himself and breathing hard. Mind you that’s 2 minutes of your life you won’t get back. That’s 2 minutes of you questioning your sexuality. That’s 2 minutes of you wondering where the hell does one find a Spiderman suit with crotch zippers? There’s just too many questions and too many wrong feelings. Just stop watching, you’ll be better for it. We promise. You finished the video didn’t you? Well congratulations. You F’N pervert, welcome to the team. Now go get a buddy or lady friend and make them watch it. No, seriously it will be funny. Oh and there is a bonus video (after the jump) of the same guy in Spidermans black suit. Which is more disturbing? Will let you and your friends decide.
