Video: Meteor Over Georgia Is Flaming Rock of Awesome.
On August 28 there was a pretty righteous meteor rocketing across the night sky in Georgia. It was like Deep Impact except not cataclysmic. Just rad.

Ecto Cooler Recipe Revealed, My Childhood Groin Swells.
This is my first memory regarding Hi-C’s Ecto Cooler. Projectile vomiting it all over a fellow classmate’s neck during a bus ride coming home from a field trip. This is my second memory regarding it: infinitely awesome snack times almost entirely because of its glory. Its taste. It disappeared like a spirit in the night, but now it may be back. Ghost Busters Chicago Division has cracked the code. Hell yeah.

DOOM and DOOM 2 No Longer Considered Porn In Germany!
I don’t understand the regulatory rules for many foreign countries. Well, most of them. I’m an American! My life stops at our shores! I do know that I find it odd that a country that cranks out scat porn like its going out of vogue (never!) somehow also groups a video game like DOOM in the same restrictive category as it.
Well, until now.
George Lucas Spoke Out Against Changing Films In 1988. Body Snatched, IMO.
Last George Lucas post of the day. I promise. This one is too delicious to pass up. Earlier this summer, Steven Spielberg said he regretted making changes to E.T. and spoke out against digital changes in general. I said, derpa!, George needs his friend to talk some sense into it. Well it turns out Lucas understood this concept.
Back in 1988.
The Omega-Level Rebel Alliance: Let’s Create a Kickstarter Campaign to Buy Star Wars
Hey, OL readers.
In case you missed it, Caffeine Powered posted yesterday (and today) about how George Lucas is, once again, messing with the glory of the original Star Wars trilogy. Understandably, we all found it horrendous. Then Seth, one of our finest commenters, came up with a pretty great idea: It would be cool if all Star Wars fans could pool money together in order buy the movies/franchise. I heartily agreed with him and now I offer it up for debate: Should Omega-Level back this enterprise and create a kickstarter campaign dedicated to raising the insane amount of money needed to buy the Star Wars franchise? And if we were to do such a ridiculous thing (that is, make a kickstarter, not actually raise the necessary billions), what would we stand for? Caffeine Powered and I agree that preserving the original Star Wars trilogy and offering a pure blu-ray set of them would be priority number one. But is there anything else we could do? What would be our Omega-Level Rebel Alliance credo, our mission statement?

Video: More Star Wars Blu-Ray Changes: Death Star Run, Artoo…Hiding Better. I’m Not F**King Kidding.
Ah well whatever what the fuck! This is fucking madness. Lucas has truly pulled down his pants and gleefully, happily shit out kernels of hate and comeuppance for us fans daring to point out that the prequels sucked. Now he’s just changing shit. It’s amazing. Like the bored fat fuck he is. He’s added more X-Wings to the Jedi Death Star run. Okay. Whatever. Needless but fine.
Also?
Now in A New Hope, R2D2 is hiding better behind rocks. Oh, and Jabba’s Palace’s door looks massive. And pointless.
Fuck all this noise.

New Technology: Box Keeps A *Heart Beating* Without A Body On Way To A Transplant.
No more fucking ice and prayers and other medieval shit when transporting hearts. Not if ULCA’s heart-lung transport team have their way. They’ve invented a box that keeps the heart pumping outside the body. This is the sort of wizardy science fiction bullshit that makes me so stoked to be alive in the time period I am. That and toilets.
