    Adventures, Work

    Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.

    Oh hi there! Fancy seeing you here.
    What have you been up to the last few months? Oh, really? That’s cool!
    Oh me? Oh not too much, same old, same old. Well I mean there was Vegas, which was indescribable… And then my Dad came over for his 60th birthday which was a ridiculous amount of fun… [...]

    You Taste Like a Burger!

    Do you know what one of my favourite things in the entire universe is? Pulling an all-nighter. In particular, pulling an all-nighter to get work done; be it a website, an assignment or just writing. I absolutely love it. I love the added pressure of knowing a deadline is looming around the corner, I love [...]

    Identity Crisis: Is it time to hang up the cape?

    I’m not going to lie, today was a very difficult day for me. I went to Wizard World Toronto this afternoon. As my friends know, this was a huge deal for me. As a massive geek, this would officially be my first BIG comic convention! In the early and mid-nineties I had been to the [...]

    Facebook, now in new delicious flavours such as Tentacle Grape!

    Today, while sending a message on Facebook, I was presented with a captcha to verify my identity. While odd to begin with, it wasn’t half as odd as the actual captcha Facebook gave me:

    Needless to say, I definitely lol’d. Yeah you read that right: “forcing her.”
    Highly inappropriate Facebook, highly inappropriate.

    I was born ready, Kaneda!

    Breaking news at this hours: THE NEWS IS BREAKING!!!!

    Almost two years ago (to the day) it was announced Warner Bros and Leonardo DiCaprio were teaming up to bring a live adaptation of Akira to the big screen. After two years of virtually no news (two or three updates max if I recall), it seems that [...]

    Of Pokemon, Tom Selleck and Improv

    1. Thanks go to to Topless Robot this week for sharing the greatest improv show of all time. Edmonton based improv crew Rapid Fire Theatre recently put on a Hallowe’en performance as classic DC comic characters. Not just dressed as the characters mind you, but completely in character. Basically it’s the greatest/nerdiest improv performance of [...]

    Oh Ghostbear, I guess you’re here after all!

    1) You had me at Decepticon with pom-poms. The above video marks everything that is right with the internet. You know what everyone? I think we’re going to be okay, we’re going to be okay. *Cue California by Phantom Planet*
    2) While we’re talking about parodies of anime, Grand Theft Auto has taken anime parodies to [...]

    We Came, We Saw, We Kicked It’s Ass!

    1) Unbelievably rad video above is “The Golden Age of Video” by Ricardo Autobahn. It’s uber catchy and quite well done. Some great samples of some epic lines through film and television; double points for using “Lisa needs braces” and “I want to go to there.” You can check out more of Ricardo Autobahn’s work [...]
