Jace Hall was one of the co-founders of Monolith, who made Blood and Shogo, among other things. He’s since branched out and one of the things that he’s been doing is the reality show the Jace Hall Show. It’s funny, but this episode is especially good cause of a visit to Blizzard and a rematch between Dolph Lundgren and Carl Weathers (who fought in Rocky IV).

This doesn’t look too bad, really. I am, of course, reminded of that line from the IT Crowd: “Team. Team. Team. Team. Team. Team. I even love saying the word team. You probably think that’s a picture of my family. Nuh uh. It’s the A Team. Body; Doyle; Tiger; The Jewellery Man. The whole lot of them.”

Holy shit! This is seriously awesome. Jaroo is a new site that lets you watch cartoons online, and they’ve got A LOT of them! Of particular interest, they’ve got Zelda, Captain N, and StarCom. Hopefully more will be added later.

Jaroo.

This is awesome! It shows nothing, but it’s got me so excited!

Interesting.

Wrestling manager Captain Lou, Cyndi Lauper’s fake dad, and Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, Lou Albano passed away today at the age of 76.

Aw, man. I think I’m going to have to get back to watching all of the Super Mario Bros Super Show that I have on DVD.

Reality TV is generally a wasteland, and it’s no different in this case, but this is just too funny/ridiculous not to post.

Oh hell no.

As excited as I was about the return of Futurama, FOX has once again ruined that experience by their callous actions. According to no less than cast members John DiMaggio, Phil LaMarr, and Maurice LaMarche on their Facebook pages, a casting notice has gone out to replace actors DiMaggio, LaMarche, Billy West and Katy Sagal.

So, Amanda and I are thinking it might be fun to go to FanExpo this year. The convention is like a celebration of all our geeky interests in one big place. Comics, Sci-fi, Anime, Gaming, and Horror all rolled into one. The event is in downtown Toronto on the 28th of August to the 30th. Tickets are between $10 and $75, depending on which package you get. Bring your wives, your girlfriends, your friends, whoever you want! When we know who’s coming, we can sort out the details of meeting near the convention centre and going in together, or whatever works best for everyone. Let me know if you’re interested!

The original Star Trek only managed to make 80 episodes before running out of Dilithium. Not enough! So we mixed up the show’s most frequent plot twists, to create a foolproof Trek story generator.
