There’s a simulated Mars colony happening in Utah. Lucky Martian devils!

Out in the vast wilderness of Utah, there is a Mars colony afoot! I have no idea what Utah actually looks like, but from the pictures it seems like endless rolling red sand and Martian colonies. Okay, so I haven’t looked at the pictures either. Who the fuck cares. What does matter is that there is a legitimately simulated Mars colony, and we aren’t there.

Listen: ‘MASS EFFECT’ Reaper noises go dubstep.

An enterprising gentleman by the user name of Rig on Soundcloud has taken the various Reaper sounds from the Mass Effect series and smashed them together to create a wonderful cacophony. The track also confirms that dubstep does, in fact, sound like the robot apocalypse.

The Dude’s High 5s: Warriors of the Squared Circle

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  I spent the day in my PJs playing video games and watching crappy movies, so despite me not celebrating the holiday, my ritual didn’t change.  Over the course of the day I wondered what other institutions I put aside when growing older.  A big one for me was wrestling.  I used to be a huge fan of it.  I grew up in the Attitude era.  For the uninitiated, this was like growing up a Celtics fan in the 60’s (from 1959-1969 they won 9 championships).  I would always get offended when people would say that wrestling was fake, its not.  Like ballet, it’s choreographed, but fake?  No, the athleticism is real.  Today mixed martial arts fills the void that wrestling used to occupy in my life.  So to end my pointless ramblings here are my favorite wrestlers of all time.  CAUTION, I will be using a lot of wrestling terms.  If you don’t know what they are, feel free to look them up or ask in the comments.

J.J. Abrams turned down ‘EPISODE VII’, Trekkies cackle.

The wonderful thing about being bipolar is that I can take on seemingly different stances, mere days apart! A hop and skip after bemoaning Abrams’ tendency for being self-satisfied in relation to the plot for Star Trek Down The Mountain, I can now tell you that I’m pretty bummed that Abrams’ turned down the chance to direct Episode VII. Why, you ask? ‘Cause I do love the dude’s visual splendor, and I have a sneaking suspicion that whoever is foisted upon the director’s throne won’t match Abrams’ ability. Despite, you know, his proclivity for lens flares, back patting, and time travel.

NASA’s new spacesuit has that Buzz Lightyear swagger.

And here I thought that Disney’s dopest cultural contribution was giving birth to a hockey team named after one of the greatest movies of all time. Nope. Nope! Now they’re totally influencing (obviously) the design of NASA’s newest spacesuit prototype. Wee!

Jonathan Hickman on making ‘FANTASTIC FOUR’ relevant again. Feels, man.

Johnny Hickman’s run on Fantastic Four is one of my favorite collections of consecutive creator awesomeness ever. So when I stumbled across a quote where he is explaining his aims for the title, I figured I’d save it for posterity. It perfectly captures what I love about the entire run. Oh and yeah, if you have any idea what it is from, let me know.
