The Origin of Futurama’s Bender?
The likeness of the robot in the Above cover to Futurama’s Bender is too striking to be a coincidence. To top it off, an prototype Bending Unit worked on by Prof. Farnsworth in a later Futurama episode bears even more resemblance. Just some interesting Futurama info for you to enjoy while celebrating the series apparent return.
Saturday Morning Watchmen
Watchmen combined with a cheesy 80’s Saturday Morning Cartoon. Amazingly well done.
When Life Imitates Webcomics…
When life imitates webcomics, we are all doomed. And lo, the first harbinger of your animated apocalypse. Not too long ago, an xkcd comic proposed a fictional virus which read comments on You Tube aloud before they are posted. Today, You Tube unveiled a spiffy new feature, audio preview on comments. Bow before the power of xkcd.
PAX08 Recap
With the weekend now gone, it’s time to recap what we saw at PAX08.
PAX was, in short, fucking amazing. Ken Levine of BioShock fame lead things off with a tremendous Key Note, audio available at Joystiq on what it was that all brought us to Seattle. As Ken put it, we’re all just a bunch of fucking nerds. PAX is a nerd mecca, with panels, concerts and guests tailored to the nerdish pallette.

What we said then: Comic about a bunch of gamers living together. Very funny stuff.
And today: The comic has evolved quite a bit and isn’t often about gamers or even games anymore, but still remains a damn funny web comic.
