Fake Toys Are Funnier Than Official Ones. Here’s Proof.

Sure, you could buy official Lego and official nerdy trading cards for franchises like Batman or Star Wars. The toys would probably be well-made and exactly what you’d expect them to be.

You Might Think This Is a Star Wars VII Trailer. It’s Not.

This is exactly how I’d imagine the first trailer for J. J. Abrams’ Star Wars flick to look like. Except with more lens flare. And music from Two Steps From Hell. And some extra scenes with space battles in them. On second thought, it wouldn’t look like this at all. Director Todd Sandler calls his…

The Old Republic‘s New Space Battles Have So Many Lasers, Y’all

Are we killing each other in space yet? Not yet. Star Wars: The Old Republic‘s skies don’t fill with fire until the subscriber early start of the Galactic Starfighter expansion on December 3, but you can see them now via this handy video dealio.

Kid Only Stops Screaming For Star Wars Theme Song

Ever had a newborn kid? Or even been around one? They are the worst. You treasure any moment of peace and serenity available, and if you see a chance to create one, you take it. If you think this is somehow staged, I can assure you, babies are weird. They’ll find the strangest tranquillisers. My…

Star Wars Bloopers Turned Into Hilarious Star Wars Trailer

So a few days back a fantastic blooper reel from the filming of the first Star Wars was found. Naturally, this footage has now been cut into a trailer for the movie. Based on the very first Star Wars trailer – which my poor brain now associates with Unkleinstead of the movie – it swaps…

Too ​Many Choices Of The Past Gaming Era Weren’t Choices At All

Great characters are usually at their best when they’re surprising us. A villain who is purely evil is never as interesting as a villain who sometimes expresses kindness. A killer with a code; a monster with a soft spot for kittens. Yet some video games this past generation just didn’t seem to get that—they pushed…

A Taste Of What Could’ve Been Had Nintendo Bought Star Wars

Hint: it would have been insane and filled with nostalgia. Okay, let’s be honest. Something like a full-length Star Wars-Nintendo mash-up movie could never, ever, ever have actually happened—which should certainly make us appreciate James Farr’s latest eight-minute masterpiece that much more, in which Link Skywalker faces Ganon-Darth and the evil Empire in a quest…

The Old Spice Guy, As A Super Annoying Comic Book Nerd

Isaiah Mustafa, aka The Old Spice Guy, is in real life a huge comic book nerd. So enjoy, as in this short he plays the role of a…huge comic book nerd. And plays it well OK, so the clip’s not perfect, and not all the jokes make it. But Mustafa is worth it. WHAT’S IN…

The Greatest Sith Warrior In The Old Republic Is Even Scarier Up Close
