We warned you about this. All 4 day passes, both with and without preview night, for the 2010 San Diego Comic Con are sold out. Now, you can try to whine, cry, complain, or blame Team Edward, but nothing you do now will get you a 4-day pass to the mecca of Comic nerdery. Your only option now is to wait for 1-day passes to go on sale online on December 15th and buy a pass for each day.  If you miss those tickets, then I don’t know what to do for you.

Found this graph in a Michael Jackson Reddit thread from user unearth52:

RIP Michael Jackson.

Advanced CG Graphics are being used for Bumble Bee

The popularity of Transformers 2 is bewildering.

It looks like brilliant advertising has made it impossible for consumers to discern (1) a movie with big explosions, flashing lights and a pair of tits from (2) a genuinely shitty movie.

A midnight opening was once reserved for a certain (negative) stereotype, but it has somehow found its way onto the Twitters and Facebook statuses of the mainstream.

The numbers at the box office make one wonder: how many of those ticket-buyers have actually heard of or seen the original Transformers? And while it’s not intended to be a condescending speculation, it’s hard for me to believe that the majority of the (millions of) people who have seen it (and who will see it) were interested in overgrown transforming robots from the 80s.

So, what makes these CGI’d Takara toys so appealing and how were so many people enticed?

I can only conclude that the media has done a wonderful job of spoon-feeding us gold plated piles of shit – the kind with big explosions, flashing lights and a pair of tits.

What will they think of next?

First things first.

This post is not about Leonard Nimoy. This post is DEFINITELY NOT about Zachary Quinto. This post is about Spock and why I wouldn’t mind having a little bit of (perhaps half) Vulcan in me.

Seeing as how this is the most obvious reason for Spock’s sex appeal, let’s get it out of the way quickly – the guy is insanely intelligent. With a brain that big, you’d have to assume proportionality worked in his favor. He served as Science Officer under two different captains, and I wouldn’t mind serving as a “science officer” under him.

Spock is notorious for his inability (or refusal?) to display emotions. Even the beautiful Leila Kalomi couldn’t get the words out of him without using a pod plant to infect Spock’s emotional control. Granted, if he tells you that he loves you, he’d have to really fucking love you. Be wary, however – while he might declare his devotion, he might not tell you if he has another name.

27-YEAR-OLD SPOILER ALERT, he dies. In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Khan activated the Genesis Device to fuck up the Enterprise. The warp drive got damaged and released all sorts of radiation. Spock restores power to the ship but dies from the radiation poisoning. The crew holds a funeral and shoots his body into space; he eventually lands on the Genesis planet, which reverses his body into a baby again. The point? Spock can love you forever.

Although he comes off as a gentle and reserved being, Spock is honed with impressive physical abilities. In addition to his strength, stamina, and agility, he also seems to know the exact points on the human body for instant reaction – namely, the Vulcan nerve pinch. Perhaps he is aware of other nerve pinches that can deliver an equally climactic sensation? Also, let’s not overlook the fact that he doesn’t need food or sleep for days on end – a remarkable endurance that can easily come in handy.

While it may require a bit of usurping, Spock will sing beautifully to you. Perhaps even pants-less. In addition to this musical talent, he can also play the piano and the beautiful Vulcan lute. What other finger and throat exercises do you need, Mr. Spock? Here’s a clip of him singing in “Plato’s Stepchildren.” Pay close attention to the lyrics – I know I did.

Spock knows how to do it: he can share thoughts, experiences, memories and knowledge with other beings, simply from the act of touching. He can do it with one hand, two hands, or no hands. Do you know what this entails? Dirty talk from across the room. Knowing exactly why you’re mad even though you say you’re not mad. Endless mindfucking. I’ll admit it: he can mind-meld me without my consent any time he wants.

Everything adds up – Spock is a bold, bold man. He handles the Horta when Kirk is too much of a pussy. His evil alter-ego can sport a goatee. He even made out with Uhura. He’s a man of poise and assertiveness. Given his confidence in taking risks, I’d have no problem in casually running into him while he’s going into pon farr. And should he ever break my heart, I trust in knowing that he is, and always will be, my friend.

I’ve already announced the type of man I’m looking for on Craigslist and I declared my love for five video game characters. Granted, I hope that this post comes as no surprise to you.

Dear Jamie,

I watch very, very little television, and the few shows I do watch come from BitTorrents.

Ever watch House?

Signed,
Ted

Dear Ted,

Oh. House. Hrm. I have seen an episode once and I very much enjoyed it. It involved a circus midget describing her sex life.

Anyhow, I agree with you very much on the television. I don’t watch it anymore, but thanks to torrent files, I was able to enjoy the first few seasons of How I Met Your Mother.

Good luck, Geek.
Jamie

I am at just pure awe at the level of talent put into this video.  There is so much creativity going on that my head was about to explode.  From the fact that it’s all shot in one take, to the perfect lighting, to the awesome lyrics of a REAL (non-auto-tuned) rapper, to the introductions of each part that helped the beat bulid.

I truly hope this guy makes it big.  Mainstream rap hasn’t been the same lately and we need to bring REAL rap back - starting with this guy.

====

UPDATE: Sammy points out that the beat originally came from Lil Wayne.  After a quick Google search, I come to see that Sammy is correct.  But Lil’ Wayne’s version just sounds like regular mainstream clear channel trash.  Good beat, but it doesn’t actually “build” up like Nyle’s version.  Plus, Nyle’s version has lyrics you can understand and enjoy while Lil’ Wayne is just sounding like a guy who is high or drunk (or both). Lil’ Wayne is “acting like he’s street, but (hes) barely sidewalk.”

More props to you Nyle. You have made a new fan out of me for your work as a true musician of the lost art called Rap. If you don’t agree with my opinion, listen to it below:

Let The Beat Build – Lil Wayne

If you still don’t agree with me, that’s ok. Everyone has different tastes and ear drums. But I’m just waiting for this whole “auto-tuned” rap fad to die out and rhythmic poetry to come back.
