New Lollipop Chainsaw trailer

Just in time for your ghoulish Halloween activities tonight is a new trailer for Lollipop Chainsaw. It's chocked full of fun for the kiddies.

Seriously, I'm super amped for this game (and yes I know that says way to much about me). I'm probably going to have to hide it from my wife though. I guess I could be hiding worse things, dead bodies or other families for example. I hear that's what broke up Kim Kardashian and her marriage to that guy, dead bodies.

Corolla...

Here's a guy selling a 2000 Toyota Corolla. It's way more entertaining than it sounds. Trust me.

Stephen Speilberg blames George Lucas for Indy 4 being awful. My favorite part about this is that Speilberg says it was Lucas' idea to use space aliens which of course "ruined" the movie. However it was Speilberg's idea to have Indy survive a nuclear explosion in a refrigerator. How about we just say it was a team effort?

Yes Google Stole from Apple, and it's a good thing. I can't believe Jobs had the balls to sue google for stealing from Apple given how much IP Apple has stolen. The best part of the article is the apple freaks in the comments section that can't help but defend the double standard.

Real World Star sues MTV. Tanya, who has always been one of my favorite Challenge veterans, claims that a Kenny and Evan sexually assaulted her with a toothbrush. I'm not sure which is worse, the allegation or discovering that MTV actually has a "rape clause" in their contracts.

Patton Oswalt narrates a reality star's trip to the pumpkin patch. I have no idea who he's ripping on but it's highlarious none the less.

Win a Prize; Tackle a Girl

I love how they use the phrase "see if you can take down an LFL player". Not only are they openly challenging your manhood but there's a subtle reference to oral sex hiding between the all the overtly sexual references.

True story time. I took a writing class once (yeah, I know. what happened?) and the teacher taught us that 99 percent of all ad copy is sexual in some way. Now I can't look at an ad for anything without making it all about sex. Old Spice: High Endurance? They totally mean high endurance in the sack. Burger King lets you have it your way? Yeah, "your way" as in doing it in the kitchen.

What were we talking about? Oh yeah, I think the NFL needs to run the same promo. If I can enter a contest to tackle Mark Rypien's daughter I think it's only fair that my wife should have the chance to tackle Red Bryant.

The Pillars of Battlefield 3: Destruction

This is the week, the week I ignore my real family and embrace my new family of M1-A1s and AR-15s. I know this sounds stupid for a 30 year old with a toddler at home but I was honestly bummed when I found out the Fred Meyer by my house was opening tonight at midnight just for Battlefield 3. I've already pre-ordered my copy at the Game Stop by work. Meaning instead of being late to work Wednesday because I've been up all night playing the most awesomest game since Bonestorm, I could have been late to work Tuesday. That's a whole day earlier! Think of how behind I'm going to be. ARGH!

Oh yeah, here's a new commercial or something. Does it even matter at this point?!

after the jump I've included trailers highlighting the new Vehicles plus Multiplayer and Single Player game modes.

Lets talk about how awful this is

Here's the first Lucasfilms stamp of approved trailer for the Phantom Menace rerelease.. in 3d!

You know what, I don't think I want to talk about how awful this is. There's just so much to hate.. the idea that Lucas honestly believe you should see Episodes I-III before you watch IV-VI is just sooo argh!

See I told you I didn't want to talk about this.

The plan here is that Lucas is going to rerelease each movie, in 3-d, about a year apart from each other. Which if my math doesn't fail me, means my son will be 5 years old when the good trilogy hits theaters. That leaves me in quite a pickle. Nothing and I mean nothing would make me happier than seeing these movies in the theater with my son. The problem is they won't really be the movies I love anymore. They'll be in glorious Han shot first 3d! I don't even want to think about it..

This is why parenting is so hard. Maybe Logan will really like Star Trek.

Cronicle, the shaky cam, emo superhero movie you didn't know you wanted

So.. Here's a trailer for the movie Cronicle, which sort of looks to be the Cloverfield of superhero movies. I kind of dig it, kind of hate it. I mean, I'm over 30 so I'm naturally inclined to hate teenagers (get off my lawn! literally. There were kids on my lawn this morning), on the other hand I'm a huge geek so I'm drawn to anything with superpowers. Plus the movie takes place in Seattle. I'll watch anything if it takes place in Seattle.

Seriously, I watched Assasins a couple months ago just because it was shot in Seattle. 10 things I Hate About You, Say Anything, Singles, all classics. I know I'm a total goober, but I love pointing and being all like "I drive by that McDonalds every day!".

Anyhoo back to the point. Cronicle looks ok, but I can't help feeling it would be better if it was called Chronical and it starred Redman and Method Man.

My name is Inigo Montoya. You didn't do your homework, prepare to die

My son Logan turns 2 in November. I'd like to think in my almost 2 years of being a parent I've learned a bunch about parenting, some of it through books, some though experience, most of it through Yo Gabba Gabba. One thing I learned early on, you can't sword fight your kids. No matter how much they talk back. Take it away Q13news!

Fremont Seay, the father, tried to discipline his daughter by hitting her with multiple switches. Then as a tactic change, he made her dress in medieval clothing and fight him for hours with a wooden sword.

Seay allegedly told investigators that he was a renaissance fighter and that because his daughter was 16, he had the right to fight her with a wooden sword.

After the sword fight, the girl texted a friend who called 911.

Wait a minute! She was 16? 16 seems about the right age to challenge your children to swordfights. Are we supposed to wait until they're 18?

Zombieland the TV show, why not?

Yesterday Vulture (which is a thing on the internet, I guess) reported that Fox is looking to adapt Zombieland into a TV show. Take it away Vulture:

We hear talks are well under way with Fox Broadcasting and Columbia’s sister unit, Sony Pictures Television, to put the zom-com into development for the 2012-13 season. If it happens, it will actually be sort of fitting.

As Zombieland producer Gavin Polone noted, “The original plan for this was to make it as a TV show.” Indeed, CBS actually ordered a pilot script for the concept all the way back in 2005, “but they did what networks do, which is to take all the good stuff out.”

I'm shocked it took this long for another network to get on board the zombie train (I'm looking at you CW). I mean everyone LOVES The Walking Dead and it's not even that good. I mean it's good, it's just not that good. Certianly not good enough to be the only zombie show on TV.

Besides Zombieland is fun, you ever read The Walking Dead comic? After every issue I feel like taking a shower and hugging my family for about 20 minutes. Zombieland just made me want to hang out with Bill Murray and shoot things, advantage Zombieland.

Family Feud is dirtier than I remember

Anyone who's watched more than 5 minutes of Family Feud knows that every once in a while the producers throw a question in there meant to embarrass everyone involved. I'm guessing someone got a huge bonus when they came up with the question "name something you put in your mouth but don't swallow".

TV’s Best Worst Very Special Episodes

Uber nerd Jeff Wysaski, of PleatedJeans fame, put together a supercut of Very Special Episodes from the 80s and 90s. I haven't watched it yet, cause the internet at work SUCKS.. plus I probably shouldn't be watching youtube clips at work anyway, which also sucks. However, I've been told this does include the time when Tom Hanks was on Family Ties as Michael J Fox's drunk uncle which was AWESOME.

Up until that episode I had no idea cough syrup had alcohol in it. Cough Syrup! I have tons of that lying around the house. It's delicious, and helped clear up my sinuses.

Another Batman Arkham City Trailer

Another week another trailer for Arkham City. This one is the final "launch trailer" so I guess that makes it special. The game comes out tomorrow and sadly I won't be getting a copy. Good news for you is that makes shopping for me this Christmas way easier.

Also a heads up don't buy me a used copy of this one, if you do you end up having to pay an extra 10 bucks to unlock Catwoman (a one time code included with any new copy of the game). Stupid greedy video game companies.

The new Muppets trailer

Here's the new trailer for The Muppets. It looks pretty awesome. And not just awesome for a kids movie, I mean awesome for any sort of movie.

I just wikipediaed it, and while it seems unbelievable, this is the first Muppet movie since 1999s Muppets from Space. That's 12 years since the last Muppet movie! How did that happen? Also what ever happened to TRL? man I loved that show.

Cute kid Kumite

This seals it, my son Logan is totally learning some Karate. He's already sort of a bully at day care, if he learned any sort of martial arts he'd be unstoppable.

BTW, have you ever thought about how many kids you could take in a fight? I figure if they're under the age of 5 I could probably take on like 40 or 50 before I punched myself tired. However if they're around 10 I'd probably only be able to take out a handful before they went all 3 ninjas on me.

Darth Maul, 1999-99.. and now 2012? George Lucas wants the producers of the Clone Wars to bring back Darth Maul. Of course he does. In 20 years when the original trilogy is released on holo-disc I'm guessing he'll get edited into the cantina scene. It helps tie the trilogies together!

Ace is the helpful hardware place.. for Zombies

The Westlake Ace hardware in Lenexa Kansas is trying to corner the market on Zombie preparedness. No fooling. Take it away Westlake Ace Hardware press release:

There has been a rise of the undead across the country, but this doesn’t have to put a damper on the daily lives of our citizens. As the zombie awakening spreads across the country, Westlake Ace Hardware is the Zombie Preparedness Headquarters.

Westlake Hardware’s online Zombie Preparedness Center (wesklakehardware.com/zombies) is the first stop for identifying and handling any zombie-related need, from getting rid of the smell of rot and decay to safely removing zombie limbs from your yard.

Westlake Hardware’s Zombie Preparedness Experts can help you find the best protective gear for your individual needs. These experts advise residents in adopting best practices for dealing with zombies.

It's a brilliant move for them. Have you ever been to an Ace Hardware? It's the home improvement equivalent of shopping at Best Buy for a computer. If you check out their website you'll notice they don't just sell stuff to help humans with the inevitable zombie horde, they also sell things for the modern day zombie looking to stave off decay while staying active around the house.

While I'm pretty satisfied with my overall zombie preparedness, I'm bookmarking their page just in case I ever turn.

Here's DJ Lance Rock and the rest of the Yo Gabba Gabba crew plus The Roots and Bootsie and Biz Markie singing We're Gonna Party Today.

If you have kids or you're really high, you're welcome.

The Avengers trailer is here

Set your nerd boners to turgent, 'cause here's the official trailer for The Avengers. It's a pretty solid first showing for what Marvel hopes will be the blockbuster of 2012. Every main character gets a small chance to shine and we get a general idea of the plot. The only villain they show is Loki but I'd be surprised if some Skrulls or Kree don't show up. The trailer seems to imply an alien invasion kind of storyline, and while it might stay true to the comic book origin of the Avengers, I just don't see Joss Wheadon reusing the villain from Thor and calling it a day.

Also 2/1 odds that Eliza Dushku shows up somewhere.

I wanted to post this earlier today but I had to wait for the trailer to show up on youtube. Apple's media player sucks, it's not hulu bad but it's close. Honestly iTunes is the reason I don't have an iPhone. The nicest thing I've ever heard anyone say about iTunes is that "it's not that bad".

Funny, no one was using that quote on facebook last week.

Epic Playstation commerical is indeed epic

This new ad for the Playstation 3 is pretty freaking cool. I didn't watch it at first because I was all like "PS3 sux", but now I'm all like "PS3 is rad". It's 1,000 times better than all those Xbox commercials where they slow down the action and play some sad song, like slaughtering mutants with chainsaw guns is supposed to be poignant.

Also I have a feeling if all the games I played met at a bar to talk about me, they'd be all like "Kevin abandoned us right when the game got difficult. Huzzah!"

Please don't do this to your dog

that is all.

The Official Trailer for Mr. Kong

Here's the official trailer to the fake movie Mr. Kong. It's only 2 and a half minutes long and it already looks like the best video game movie ever made. Seriously, I would pay to see this in theaters.

In fact if a studio had the cojones to actually make this movie maybe they'd bring back Yoshi Lime slurpees. Man I miss Yoshi lime...

C-3PO sounds a bit more "urban"

I'm not sure if Black C-3PO was meant to be a Blue Ray edit gag or not. Either way it's easily the funniest Star Wars joke I've seen in a long long time. In fact, if I had to spend $79.99 on either this 3 minute youtube clip or the Star Wars Blue Ray pack I'm pretty sure I'd buy the youtube clip.

Just kidding, I don't have $79.99.

The first time I used an Apple Computer. Unlike some nerds I don't have a whole bunch of positive things to say about Steve Jobs or Apple. But I can say one nice thing. Steve Jobs was the co-founder of the company that created the first computer I ever used, the Apple IIe, and my favorite computer or all time, the Apple IIgs. So for that, I'll admit he's had a big influence in my life.

Why Marvel's Spider-Island should work, but does. The other day I posted something about Spider-Man on facebook and some hipster responded all "you still read spider-man? there are way better comics out there".

1,000 Popsicle stick stickbomb

I'm not sure if this is really a "new record" but this 1,000 Popsicle stick stickbomb is impressive none the less. If you don't know what a stick bomb is it's basically a way of weaving Popsicle sticks or tongue depressors together under tension so that if you push or pull a trigger stick the whole thing jumps in the air. Laying one out like dominoes makes for a super cool floaty effect thing that I think scientists actually call the stickbomb floaty effect. Or they don't, what do I know.

The Angry Soccer birds are here

Here's a couple soccer goalies pulling off some sweet trick shots with an Angry Birds theme.

A couple years ago I had a discussion with a friend of mine that went like this. If you put a world class goal keeper like Kasey Keller (who was at the time) on an average rec team would he be able to score like 20 goals and just completely dominate? At first I was all like, nuh-uh he's a keeper he probably doesn't even know how to dribble. However, the video above combined with the fact that my rec team last week was worked over by a guy who played keeper in college lead me to believe yes, Casey Keller would score about 20 goals if he ever played against any rec team I've ever played on.

That is until I stepped on his achilles out of frustration that no one on my team was marking Keller. He's just scored 20 goals why isn't anyone following him!?

Nic Cage could've been the Scarecrow

Lets cut to the quick. If Batman and Robin hadn't tanked so bad* the next Batman film Joel Schumacher was working on would have stared Nic Cage as the Scarecrow.

Nic Cage as the Scarecrow... Directed by Joel Schumacher.

Supposedably the plot would have revolved around the Scarecrow doping Batman into seeing all of his worst enemies including Jack Nicholson (still under contract) as the Joker. Now I've expressed my morbid desire to see Nic Cage as superman before, but Nic Cage shoulder to shoulder with Jack Nicholson? I now know what I'll be dreaming about tonight...

.. that did not sound right.

* Believe it or not Batman and Robin made tons of cash. Technically it was a hit, however it was so critically panned that the studio decided they should put the property on the shelf for a while

Emma Frost needs a vesty pantsuit

It's no secret that Emma Frost has a pretty ridiculous costume. Sometimes she gets to wear pants, but most of the time she's basically wearing white lingerie. It's one of those things that somehow is so insane it just seems right. You'll find 100 times as many angry nerds ranting about Power Girl's boob window than you will about Emma Frost's thigh highs. Well Sebastian Shaw is sick of that shit.

The Walking Dead: Torn Apart

So for whatever reason the producers of the Walking Dead decided to throw us bloodthirsty TV zombies a bone in the form of a couple of webisodes. They're pretty good I guess. Part of my kind of feels like they're ripping off that Dead Island trailer in a generic sort of way. Like they thought if they just threw some random family falling apart I'd start squirting tears.

Maybe I'd feel more for this family if they had a reasonable zombie plan. I mean seriously, zombies start attacking everyone and the first thing they do is to tell little Timmy and Jimmy to go play in the other room?

There's always money in the banana stand

So my tumblrs just blew up with the news that a Arrested Development is getting a new 10 episode season and a movie. Ok to be technical about it, my tumblrs might have blown up yesterday. I'm on vacation so I'm barely even paying attention to anything.

”Arrested Development creator Mitchell Hurwitz, at the New Yorker Festival cast reunion, just announced plans to bring back the critically acclaimed TV series for one more season — ahead of a long-anticipated Arrested Development movie.

The New York Times’ Dave Itzkoff reports that the new season will be composed of 9-10 “where are they now” episodes, providing context for the film.”

via buzzfeed.

Jason Bateman and Will Arnett have confirmed the news via twitter, which I think it legally binding these days. So either this is the greatest day ever for nerdy TV viewers or we're all in the middle of the worst episode or Punked ever. I guess we'll know for sure if Dax Shepard shows up to the set in place of Michael Cera.
