Forget Bruckheimer! Look to Tollywood for some serious action!

I feel sorry for the horses, though.

I hope The Old Republic is exactly like this! I’ll be very disappointed otherwise.

Chilling. It’s a trailer for a documentary of the same name.

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!

Well, I’m thoroughly creeped out now.

NSFW, but hilarious! I gotta start sending this to girls I like and see what happens.

Some of you have probably already seen this, but if you haven’t, well… you’re in for a treat.

Epic.

To be honest, I actually kind of want one.

In 2000, Kevin somehow convinced the town council of Pauls Valley, Oklahoma that they needed a museum or tourist attraction, and that his incredibly large collection of toys and action figures should be it. In 2005, the museum opened up, and in 2009 you found out about it and tried to figure out a good reason to go to Pauls Valley, Oklahoma.

Kevin Stark has a bit of an obsession with collecting action figures. But instead of hiding his nerdy hobby, he’s turned it into a business by opening The Toy and Action Figure Museum.

Believe me, it’s not at all what you think.

In what is probably the coolest conference-talk attention grab I’ve ever heard of, Bill Gates apparently just released a swarm of mosquitoes into the crowd at TED, the geniuses-only mind meld. Holy shit.

“Not only poor people should experience this,” the Tweetosphere has Gates saying as he released the swarm into the audience. Malaria is a cause that Bill and Melinda have been hitting hard with their philanthropy, and this is certainly a way to drive that point home.

No word yet on the size of said swarm, or confirmation that they weren’t actually infected with malaria for that matter, but as far as stunts go, this is prit-tay fucking awesome. We would know.

This is like that guy in India who couldn’t pass 9th grade or whatever it was.

A dogged South Korean grandmother has failed her driving test 771 times, police said Thursday, but a local newspaper reported she will keep trying.

The 68-year-old, identified only by her last name Cha, has taken the test almost every working day since 2005 in the southwestern city of Jeonju. She failed again Monday for the 771st time.

“It was a record-breaking number here,” Choi Yong-Cheol, a police sergeant supervising the test in the city’s Deokjingu district, told AFP.

“I wonder if she will try it again for a 772nd time.”

This is an oldie, but a goodie.

I think this could be just the thing to put that little-known console, the Wii, on the map. You might not have heard of it, but it’s got spunk!

The company, known for its Carmen Electra-branded poledancing kit — The Electrapole — announced its plans to bring this time-honored tradition to Wii consoles across the nation earlier this year. MTV’s Tracey John is a big fan of female degradation and visits all manner of illicit sex houses frequently, so she caught up with Peekaboo Pole Dancing to see how their game is getting on.

“We have not managed to tie up a deal for this yet but we still remain hopeful,” stated a rep. “We have, however, connected with a company that is manufacturing a peripheral product and we are investigating mutual publishing opportunities. Please feel free to give a shout out to any developers or publishers who want to give this a crack. [The game] just needs someone with a little nerve.”

This is pretty slick.

This is the new game from the guy who brought you Katamari Damacy.

Yeah, I don’t get it either.
