Video: Parents Are Super Pissed in 1991 About Having To Buy SNES. Damn Consoles!
Parents back in 1991 were friggin’ cheesed off, man. They had just bought Johnny Snotnose his first Nintendo Entertainment System. And now here comes a new console that all the kids will want. Well guess what Mr. and Mrs. Smith, that’s what your dumb asses get for being late adopters!
You know how I got my SNES? I cried at Child World when my grandma took me there right near launch. Oh, I’m a bitch? Yeah well I was the first kid in my grade playing Super Mario World. So fuck you.

Trailer: Star Wars XXX, A Porn Parody That Does Lucas Better Than Lucas. [SFW]
The trailer for Star Wars XXX has dropped, and it’s surprisingly…entertaining. All right so there’s no fucking, which means that it’s pretty much just a fan recreation of A New Hope. Still though. Rocks. Brainstorm: is this thing going to feature Luke/Leia fucking? That’ll really get off the Jaime/Cersei shippers.
Also, it features fucking Porkins. Anything that features Porkins is ++ in my book.
Hit the jump for the trailer.
Second Life Rakes In $100 Million In Revenue A Year. Most Impressive.
I’ve never logged into Second Life. I’d like to, just to see what’s going on. At this point though, it feels like coming into a millennia-long debate in the middle of it. Regardless of my interaction in this other world, it is doing quite fine. To the tune of $100 million a year.
Manipulable Panorama Of Hiroshima After The Bomb Is Desolating, Creepy.
360 Cities has a collection of 360 degree panoramics of photos taken in August, 1945 after the US deonated a nuclear bomb in Hiroshima. Through the power of technology, you can now manipulate these images. It’s creepy.

Ridley Scott Working On ‘Call of Duty: Elite’ Content. Srsly? Interesting.
There’s nothing that’s going to get me to subscribe to Call of Duty: Elite. Right? Well maybe if signing up gets you the Call of Duty DLC deluge for a reduced price. Or. Or. Or if Ridley Scott released something so asshole-quiveringly dope through the service that my fanboy soul needs it. This is somehow, oddly, a distinct possibility now that Scott has signed-up to provide the service with new content.
NGC 1929 Is Looking To Inflict Street Justice On A Cosmic Scale.
[Click image to enlarge.]
While Phil Plait sees a monkey with a gaping hole in its skull when looking at NGC 1929, I see one-half of the Punisher’s symbol. To each his own. Regardless of your psychic disposition when reading this image, NGC 1929 is a rather gorgeous gathering of stars.
Bruce Willis Playing Original Joe In ‘G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation’? Yes Please.
The cast for G.I. Joe 2 is already ridiculous. The Rock. Wonder Woman. That guy from Wu-Tang. All augmenting the cast of a super-cheesy but really fun original movie. Yeah, I enjoyed it. Do something! Now the rumors about Bruce Willis joining the cast are heating up. Let’s get this! Get this done.
Marvel Releases Third Teaser For Hickman’s ‘4’, This One Is Flame-On.
Marvel’s released a third teaser for November’s ‘4’ event which is looking more and more like a commomeration of Fantastic Four #600. I predicted it would be J. Storm-less. Today I’m feeling foolish.

Neil deGrasse Tyson To Host New Series of ‘Cosmos’, Galactic Swag!
Neil deGrasse Tyson is my current favorite astrophysicist. I don’t know many, but I know him and his smooth voice and his ability to distill the impossibly complex into easily digestible metaphor. His new gig is going to rule.
Video: Mario and Luigi Cut A Rug At the 2011 National Jitterbug Championships
First off, I love that there’s a national jitterbug championship. Fantastic. Secondly, I love swingers Morgan Day and Emily Wigger. They danced to what Michael McWherton accurately calls “chippy Mario tunes”. It’s a total dork lovefest, complete with level clear music and actual props.
Dig it.
