Game Crush is your hook up. Your sad, lonely, nerdy hook up.

if you thought geek squad charged to much..
I'm pretty sure I blogged about this story when it first hit, but when you crank out as much awesomeness as I do it's easy to lose track.

GameCrush is a new on-line gaming service where sweaty nerds everywhere can pay hot chicks to curb stomp them in Gears of War 2. I know it sounds ridiculous but you ever played Halo online? I'd consider paying extra just to play without all the racist 12 years olds much less with "cute" girls.

Six-minute sessions involve real face-to-face time over webcam with the girl over a casual game of checkers, pool or Battleship. Those looking for more hardcore action can game time over Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.

GameCrush has created four zones to help define the type of interaction between Players and PlayDates (the girls). These zones include:

* The Arcade - Fun is the name of the game. Nice and chill.
* The Arena - For serious gamers. Butt-kickings handed out left and right.
* The Academy - Learn tips and tricks from experienced PlayDates.
* The Edge - Not for the faint of heart. This could get interesting.

You know what's totally sad. I also think I would pay to play in the Academy zone. I've played Modern Warfare 2 on-line for about 20 minutes and I racked up all of one kill.. and I think that guy was in the bathroom at the time.

This Gigantic Robot Kills

This morning I was very close to posting this video of Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon rapping but instead I went with the new MC Lars video for This Gigantic Robot Kills. I stand by my decision.

American Idol is screwed

Earlier this week It was revealed that Nicole Scherzinger would join Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell as the hosts of The X Factor. The show that's just like American Idol and will more than likely end up replacing American Idol just as it did in England when it replaced it's predecessor Pop Idol.

Wait a minute? Didn't American Idol announce it's new All-star judges just last week? Ummm yeah about that... Now I like Aerosmith as much as the next guy (as long as the next guy and I both think they should have died in a bus accident in 1982) and J-Lo could be spectacularly bad in a Paula Abdul sort of way, but come on. I mean come on. Here's Cheryl Cole and Nicole Scherzinger.


And here's Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez.


Again Cheryl Cole and Nicole Scherzinger.


And again Stev... no wait, here's more Cheryl and Nicole


See ya later American Idol. We'll always have Jordin Sparks.

George Lucas will be raping your childhood again

like this but with more pew pew
So George Lucas has decided to release all 5 Star Wars films (attack of the clones doesn't count) in glorious 3-d. It's one of those news stories that's not really news since everyone knew it was coming. Kinda like "peace talks in the middle east break down". I mean you know it's going to happen eventually but when it actually does you're still really sad.

Anyway, lets just get this over with Fox News:

George Lucas plans to rerelease the entire Star Wars saga in 3D starting in 2012. First up: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.

According to a report in industry newspaper The Hollywood Reporter, Lucas has held off on releasing 3D versions of the films until there were enough screens available to make Star Wars 3D a sizeable event.

Oh thank goodness. For a minute there I was worried that this wasn't an artistic decision but instead just some sort of cash grab. Now that I know this will be an "event" it sounds like a great idea.

Lucas purportedly is lining up the theatrical rereleases as a lead-in to the ultimate home-viewing experience. Beyond that, the property would launch to other 3D media.

What the F does that mean? Other 3d media? Are there 3d newspapers out there and no one is telling me about them? Damn it Fox News, talk about burying the lead.

I keep hearing good things about this Scientology stuff

So if you don't hang out in the deep dark corners of the internet you're probably not that familiar with "anonymous", don't worry ignorance is bliss. Of course what's more blissier (it's a word) are these awesome pictures of anonymous protesting Scientology.

Tumblr Tuesday

I've decided I need more reoccurring tropes in my blog. Zombies and Megan Fox's toe thumbs are only going to get you so far. With that in mind welcome to Tumblr Tuesday, where every Tuesday we'll highlight a new and fabulous tumblr blog.

This week it's lolslater.

taking legal advise from screech seems ill advised
I can't believe there was a time in my life when I thought Saved by the Bell was an actual TV show. Now I realize it was just a 30 minute commercial for hair clips and ray bans. Check back in next Tuesday when we look at another awesome tumblr blog.

The Walking Dead Opening Credits

Ok so this isn't the real opening credits for The Walking Dead, but it should be. Super fanDaniel Kanemoto made this from scanned pages of the comic and it's just amazing. If AMC was smart they'd steal this and then just show up at the dudes house with a suitcase full of cash. That's how these things work right?

Finally, an iPod I would buy

From all reports you have to have hands the size of a premature chinese baby (not the babies hands, but the actual baby) to operate the new iPod nano, rendering it a pretty useless MP3 player. However, if you shoehorn one of those babies (the ipod nano not the premature chinese baby previously mentioned) into a sega VMU unit you're left with pretty much the greatest invention know to man.

For whatever reason this dreamcast talk really makes me want to go play Shenmue, I guess I'll see you in 3 months.
