‘FANTOMA’ TEASER TRAILER: Ben, Joseph, and Ghosts. Yes.
Came across this hot toddy today in my email from none other than Mr. Benjamin Santiago. It is a trailer for his upcoming webseries about ghosts. I’m significantly stoked. Pi-Day! Be there.

Joss Whedon: I wouldn’t have brought back original characters for ‘EPISODE VII.’
Well, here is the big comment from Whedon that is slithering its way through the Inter-Pipes of Geek-Fandom tonight. Let’s engage it, and then let me know where you side in the debate. Me? I’m pretty much in the middle. I would have been happy if they weren’t in the series, but I’m also okay with it. Provided, of course, it is done well. At the very least, I feel Whedon’s sentiment.
SNYDER and CAPULLO teaming up to tell BATMAN’S NEW 52 origin. Yawncore.
I’m trying my hardest not to be snarky, because I love Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. However, the last thing that would really glaze my goodies at this point is yet another Batman origin. Well, I better start self-applicating the tests lacquer myself, because that is exactly what we’re getting.
JOSS WHEDON on why AGENT COULSON lives in ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ I got you, bro.
Recently at SXSW, Joss Whedon broke down why Agent Coulson ain’t fucking dead. I mean, I thought that Whedon got a legitimate erection when he killed off a character. A throbbing, pulsating dong-hammer. So bringing the Agent back has to be for a good reason, right? Right?! Whedon’s reasoning makes sense to me.
‘EVIL DEAD 4’ is actually ‘ARMY OF DARKNESS 2.’ My boomstick stiffens.
Let there be light! Or at the very least, let there be Army of Darkness 2. Samuel Raimi’s producer has recently let drop that the fourth installment of Evil Dead is actually going to be Army of Darkness 2. Sort of. Please. Yes, please.
WEB-BASED BRAIN for robots goes live. Skynet shudders itself awake.
Oh sweet lord. Thanks to Nick Altonaga for bringing this Harbinger of Doom. There is a web-based brain out there in the clouds out there for robots now. They will access it to upgrade their knowledge, but c’mon. How long before they are using it to plan meetings, and our demise? I say not long.
‘EPISODE VII’ Luke Skywalker by PHIL NOTO. Hell yeah.
Okay, I don’t know if it is technically an Episode VII rendition of Luke Skywalker by Phil Noto. What I do know is that it is a gorgeous rendition of an older Skywalker by the brilliant artist. I can’t get enough.
Monday Morning Commute: Hark, the Lady Spring Sings
Mother Nature must be feeling guilty for those of us in New England. Friday morning I awoke to an onslaught of the Slushy Shit. It was draped across my car, down my driveway, coating the streets. What had been proposed as four inches of snow had turned into two feet of nightmare whilst I slept. Perhaps feeling a smidgen bit cruel for this deceit, Ole Lady Nature has turned the last two days into full blown Spring. You know you’ve been double-fisted by the Winter when forty-degree days are a salve on your soul. A balm on the chapped balls that weather has wrought. I’ll take it, and mix it together with some Daylight Savings Time. Despite the bullshit that is yanking an hour of weekend slumber out from underneath our feet, the bonus sunlight at the end of the day is bueno. As someone who is known to eat chapped stick in single bites while screaming at passersby when my sadness overwhelms me, any extra rays are salvation. They burn away the delirium that the Darkness brings.
Enough about me. How the fuck are you gals, guys, and every other combination? This is Monday Morning Commute, the column where you and I share the various happy happenings in our lives on a given week. The ointments that help soothe the irritation of the grind.
Let’s do this.
Press Start: Dads N’ Damsels
This week in gaming, millions of male gamers still found a way to wax their poles to the new, gritty Tomb Raider; Sim City went into complete shit-ridden meltdown and I continued to play a tonne of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The only thing that comforts me after typing that ridiculous name is the unrelenting entertainment value of tearing out cyborg spines. Third playthrough down and I’m still digging the most violent method of electrolyte extraction known to man.
SEATTLE BAR becomes first join to ban GOOGLE GLASS. No word on fire, or the wheel.
Props to frequent member of the community Cacophonous Kevos for bringing this to my attention. A bar out in Seattle has already banned Google Glass. You know, the AR glasses that aren’t really out in the public yet. Their reasoning works on a certain level, but I can’t get behind it. We need to embrace the disembracement of the flesh-sac! C’mon, folks. Let us transcend this mortal bodies. Or at least be allowed to wear glasses so we can stare at bums on tumblr in our tech-goggles whilst drinking a pint. Right?
