Get Your Ass to Mars: The Mars One Project
If you’re anything like me, you’ve contemplated leaving the planet forever rather than deal with 90% of the mouth breathing mall zombies we happen to share this rock with. When you realize that you’re stuck here, you then begin to wonder how easy it would be just to blow the whole damn place up. Well fret no longer because Mars One is coming up with a solution. Hit the jump for some info and your orientation.

The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Movies Every Prospective College Student Needs to See
June is upon us my friends. And that can mean only two things, beach days and high school graduations. This high five will be dealing with the latter. As a new high school grad, there are some notions of college life that have to be explained. Where better to look than the silver screen? These are the top 5 movies every prospective college student should see, and subsequently emulate (not really) if they want to fully embrace the collegiate experience.
The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Historical Figures I Want to Have a Beer With
I don’t go gaga over celebrities. There’s no band in existence I want to see before I die. There are very few people that I put on pedestals. Why is this? What makes me different? Well, I’m a sociopath for one, so its easy to dismiss all other beings as supporting players in my movie of life. The other reason is George Lucas. He taught me that no one is bullet proof. He was my first hero, and he failed me. I’m not bitter, it made me stronger. The solution was to hero worship people whose accomplishments were complete. People who could no longer ruin their legacy. So, since there are no living people that I would want to have a beer with, these are the people of the past that I would love to sit down, throw a few back, and discuss the finer points of life with.
The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Sidekicks.
We all are the heroes of our own stories. So what does that make our friends? Our loyal sidekicks of course. But if they are the heroes of their own stories, does that make us their sidekicks? It’s a bit confusing. So today’s High 5 is a salute to the sidekicks and second fiddles out there that don’t have identity issues. They are there to support our lovable protagonists and put their own interests aside for the sake of their friend’s goals. So here we go, these are the people I want riding shotgun if I have to step up and save the world … or solve a crime … or find a way to get reasonable prices on Red Sox tickets (If I even wanted to see a 5th place team in person).
The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Quotable Movies
Walking around and making dumb ass movie references is one of our most sacred American traditions. Be it children running around pretending to be the characters themselves to adults wishing to convey a complex scenario with just a few words, quotes are embedded in our everyday lives. I don’t know about you, but I take comfort in that.
The Dude’s High 5s: Girl Power – Top 5 Kickass Female Protagonists
With Mother’s Day fast approaching I wanted to pay homage to the fairer sex in some way. I thought to myself; why not send out a High 5 to the kickass ladies of Hollywood? I wanted to steer clear of the Suzy-Homemakers and the Damsel in Distress tropes that pop up everywhere. So here we go, 5 ladies that kickass and take names … no word on their stance on bubble gum.
Art of the Con: Adventures at Boston Comicon
For someone who is outside the realm of comics, a comic con is certainly a lot to take in. There are cosplayers of all ages, ranging from Green Lanterns to Mr. T. Boston comic con is certainly an experience that will take a lot of drugs and booze to forget.
The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Fictional Handheld Weapons I Want To Own [Video Game Edition]
Not only am I the Dude, but I’m also A dude. Like most males that are stuffed with testosterone and swagger like pirate god kings I love violence. Let me be a bit more specific, I like the idea of violence. I’d rather see it done in a movie or on a TV show in real life. Better yet, I’d rather be the one doing the violence in a video game. Today’s High 5 will look at the tools of the trade. These are the weapons I’d want to wield if I was about to run through the streets on an anger fueled GTA killing spree (Probably in Salem, MA … driving in that city is aggravating).
The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Misunderstood Videogame Henchmen
So last week I shat in the pool and started pointing fingers. I get it, some of you were unhappy with my High 5. I’m gonna let you in on a little secret, that’s how I like it. This is a melting pot of ideas and opinions.
This week we’re moving into the realm of video games; a realm that I have disgracefully ignored until now. Today it’s about henchmen, specifically the waves and waves of baddies that you as the protagonist dispatch without hesitation. These aren’t the run of the mill bad guys. Perhaps these guys don’t quite deserve the hurting that you put on them. Maybe next time you encounter them, you’ll think a little more and just let them pass.
Going to BOSTON COMICON?
I’ll be there both days hanging out with the crew from Five and Dime comics. Stop by and say hello, buy a print, talk comics, or just skulk by and give me the finger.
