Those who know me know how rarely this happens, but I am at a loss for words.

The video, shown below, has the Legend of Zelda theme played on Tesla coils. That is everything you need to know.

This video, at less than a minute, is the coolest thing I have seen recently (and I was just in Europe and the UK!). The site Dorkly Video also had the best description for the video ever, so I will leave you with that:

Wow, the new Tesla temple looks awesome.

FYI: Article starts with loosely related Jusitn Bieber rant.

I’m sorry but if you like Justin Bieber then you’re an asshole. I hate him and you should too. Not just because it’s the culturally thing to do, but because he’s a gay little-boy, studio whore. His factory made music and music like his is the reason we can’t have nice things on the radio. Oi, sorry I had to get that out. Slow him down 800 percent however, and maybe, just maybe his music won’t sound like audio diarrhea. In fact, if your into some of that ‘Pure Moods’ shit it might be just the thing to light a candle to when you break out the tissues and a bottle of Astroglide for those special alone times. What am I talking about? I’m referring to when the Internet went crazy over Justin Bieber’s anthem “U Smile” slowed down 800 percent. It was creepy cool, but we didn’t write about it because it wasn’t nerdy enough to acknowledge. But take classic Sci-Fi themes and slow them down in the same manner, and we have nerdy material worth posting.

The masterful minds at i09.com took the effect to the tunes of Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Babylon 5, Buffy, Star Trek, Star Wars and more. As i09 says: “The overall effect of these slowed-down classics is one of spookiness — but they might also recharge your “sense of wonder.” We couldn’t agree more. Ominous, and foreboding, but totally awesome. A neat technique that will elevate your nerdiness in a beyond weird spiritual level. And, that’s without the use of mind altering substances.

This is a song and music video entitled, ‘Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury’ by Rachel Bloom. It’s about some chick who wants to get boned by Ray Bradbury. It’s a catchy little tune with some fair production value and I love how she slaps Kurt Vonnegut at the end, but ultimately it’s a nerd fail. It needed more cowbell. Seriously, the song is nothing but a two minute bit about fucking. But really, is there anything even wrong with that? Her boobs, sexual innuendos and mere mention of Ray Bradbury is a service to fans is it not? So what if she the vaguest familiarity with Ray Bradbury? So what if he would be insulted to be referred to as a Sci-Fi writer? This hot nerdy girlie has some titties that we suck you in like tractor beams. That’s all that matters doesn’t it?

Found a video today that might be interesting for all you devoted readers. Some nice person with a lot of free time decided to edit a chase scene from Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins and added Danny Elfman’s Batman theme music from the first two Burton directed films.

I’m a huge Tim Burton fan (or former fan, if he keeps up with the bullshit) so I can pick out a Danny Elfman tune from a mile away, how’s about you? Anyway, the funny thing is this kind of seems to fit, though the comments on the youtube page for it would tell you otherwise. What do you think? Would Danny Elfman’s music be up to par with the dark grittiness of Nolan’s Batman series? Watch the video and see for yourself.

Take the garage band experience, add some Star Trek, some sex, and some more sex, and you have the ingredients for Warp 11, A Star Trek band from Sacramento, California.

And this isn’t like a bunch of nerds translating “Surfin’ Bird” into Klingon. (”GhajtaH Qoyta’ toQ. toQ toQ toQ, toQ ‘oH mu’. yImev SoH Sov toQ? SovtaH vetlh toQ ‘oH mu’!”) These are funny, mildly dirty songs involving Star Trek.

Check out just a sampling of song titles:

“Replicate My Love”
“Baby Take Me to Your Nuclear Wessel”
“They Put Creatures in Our Bodies”
“Suck My Spock”
“Boldly Go Down on Me”

Ah, but how does it sound? Well, try this on for size:

You’re welcome.

Damn that nerd has mad rhyming skills. Oh yeah, you read that right. This music video comes courtesy of a British mc named Dan Bull. When he’s not writing an open fuck you letter to Lily Allen in song format over a “borrowed” beat he’s busy being a bonified musician. His debut LP Safe was released last year and “Generation Gaming” is one of the singles.  You may have heard parts of this song before, but this is the official extended version. Wanna see 20 years of gaming all jam packed into about 4 minutes? Enjoy the catchy single below.

UPDATE: It seems that Team Teamwork has received a Cease-and-Desisted and sadly the site is no more. However, this is the internet and I’m sure you guys may be able to find other ways to get these as I personally do love these mixes and should have been up much longer that it should of have.

Final Fantasy 7, one of the RPG’s that made an impact when it came out in the PS1 era and introduced us to what many would consider the greatest enemy ever, Sephiroth, who happened to be a momma’s boy. One thing about the game that I remember greatly was the soundtrack. It has memorable music and I could immediately remember any moment of the game if I heard a music piece from it. Well, Team Teamwork, who also brought us The Ocarina of Rhyme mix, has released their latest creation, Vinyl Fantasy 7. Sure you may think how dare they mix rap with this stuff, but after listening to the tracks, I can easily say, I’m impressed. These are well done mixes and they deserve to get some exposure. So head on to their website and check out the tracks, and if you happen to like it, there is an option to download the album for what ever price you want. Now all I can think of is if Tifa would have this playing in her bar with Barret trying to break it down to the beat.

I, like  you, have always wondered….why is Captain Kirk climbing the mountain??? WHY I ASK YOU!!? Thankfully today Greatwhitesnark.com ran across the answer.

But before I share the answer to this age-old question with you, dear nerds, I’d like to give you a few preparatory tips.

1. Get comfy…why not throw on some denim and flannel? Believe me you’ll thank me later.

2. Blur your lines between Captain Kirk and William Shatner, as “he” has done here.

3. Prepare for mid-thickness Shatner

Oooooooooh Shatner(d), you’ve done it again…you’ve made me want to go dig out my life-size poster of you that I talked the guy at Time Warp Comics (Boulder, Colorado) out of so many years back. Back in college when you were second on my crush list only to Leonard Nimoy (Spock Nimoy not turtlenecked In Search Of Nimoy…I’m not that f’ed up). I mean, just think, I lived in Colorado and had no idea you were trying to “make love to the mountain” — SO WAS I KIRK…so was I.

I pity da foo' who doesn't know what this is.

There are a lot of bad movies floating around, and there are a lot of bad songs that go along with them. Action films — particularly those from the 1980s — have many of the worst soundtracks, and yet some of our most iconic verses have come from Rocky, The Karate Kid and so forth. Did any of the Members Only-jacket-wearing producers at the time know this would happen? Of course not. Will they take credit for our love of cheesy lyrics and guitar solos? Absolutely.

After the jump, check out 10 oddly mesmerizing songs from the action films of yesteryear. Fair warning: these songs will suck up valuable brain space, and you’ll be singing them for hours.
