The Most Amazing Thing I've Seen In YEARS.

So I was looking for some funny spoof videos of Harry Potter for tonight's "Wizarding Wednesday", when I stumbled across the most amazing mash-up ever made. Being a HUGE fan of the Canadian television show "Trailer Park Boys" and a fan of "The Wire", this video is unreal. If you've never watched these shows, you absolutely should. All the good shows are going on winter hiatus soon, so it's the perfect opportunity to watch both shows in their entirety. For those of you who have seen the shows, I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

And for those of you dying to see a Harry Potter spoof, I give you a great SNL classic featuring the trainwreck known as Ms. Lindsay Lohan as Hermoine.

Wizarding Wednesdays!

Due to my current state of laziness at the moment, I will be taking the easy way out again today. I promise you will get your fill of "Hot Nerd Thursday" tomorrow! Now presenting, trailers for upcoming kick ass movies!

Wizarding Wednesdays!

Hidey ho! Here I am, all hopped up on "Smallville"! I'm currently on the 21st episode of the 8th season.... Why do these seasons have to be so loooooong? Lol. So, after reading copious amounts of the new series of "Batgirl" the comic book last night, I have decided that if you are a chick and want to get into comics (Deadlie Mercury, I'm talking to you), "Batgirl" is the place to start. Basically, the new Batgirl is a somewhat ditzy, disaster magnet. I love it because she is just like me, only she can kick way more ass. You watch her go through most things a late teen's/early 20's chick does. Things like, making time for school and friends and boys, having awkward run-ins with her ex, and constantly seeking approval. Other first time comics for chicks to read include "Supergirl", "Fables", "Brids of Prey" and "Gotham City Sirens". They are all female empowermenty, have good stories and are incredibly easy to relate to, considering it could never really happen.

My apologies for playing the "girl power" card. If you haven't noticed, I'm buying time, because I don't have those promised character sheets for Aberrant... I kinda, sorta, fell asleep at the table last week, and I have no idea where we're at. Sorry! Hopefully tonight will be a "Lunch Money" kind of night. "Lunch Money" is a super fun card game based on girls in the playground catfighting. You basically just kick the crap out of each other (with our imaginations, not physically). It keeps me engaged much more that RPG games do, I'm sad to say. I just have a short attention span, kind of like that of a goldfish. It's part of my charm. I'll be back tomorrow with "Hot Nerd Thursday". Blog ya later!

Best. Game. Ever.

Wizarding Wednesdays!

Hey everyone! Here we are again, another fantastic Wednesday evening. The Editor and myself figured out how to make the heat work in the house, so here we are, nice and toasty warm. :-) The game of the night is Aberrant. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's kind of like D&D, only you you create a superhero instead of an Elf or a Dwarf. By the end of the night, I will have full character descriptions on everyone here, which I will post with an illustration next week. Prior to Aberrant we're having the Nerdfest premier of "The Walking Dead". Since The Editor and I have already watched it, I'm going to take this opportunity to write my review of it.

Cooler than D&D (in my opinion)

 The Walking Dead is a comic that I have been reading for several years now. I'm actually the one who got the majority of my guy friends reading it. I love Robert Kirkman. He has yet to write something that disappoints me. He is one of the EP's on the television show, and I couldn't be happier. The first episode of the show did not fail to disappoint at all. It was certainly an introduction show, but they did a great job of developing the characters, some of which I haven't seen in years. There are going to be some additions in the show (according to what was said about the show at NYCC) which Robert Kirkman helped develop, so I'm looking forward to seeing that too. The first episode basically revolved around Rick Grimes, a cop who gets shot, and goes into a coma. When Rick gets out of the coma the world around him has changed. The dead are alive, and attacking the living. His wife and son are missing, and he's not entirely sure of what is going on. He meets up with a man and his son, and befriends them while trying to figure it all out. The man tells Rick that they were told told to head for the cities for protection, and Rick decides to head to Atlanta. The episode ends with our protagonist is trapped inside of a tank, surrounded by zombies.

While we were at NYCC we got to watch the first six minutes of the second episode, and I can honestly say, if you didn't like the first episode, because it may have been a little slow, just give it one more episode and you'll be hooked. I enjoyed the first episode, but I will be happy once we get all of the character development out of the way, and get to really get into the meat of the show. This show is NOT a zombie TV show. It's a show about the human condition, and how one would behave once the world has ended. It will leave you hoping that you will never know what it will be like to live in a world like that.

If you haven't read the trades, please do. There is so much content and awesomeness in them. From what I understand, the show is almost exactly like the book, however, I think that they will be different enough from each other, that it would be totally worth the read. I mean, I LOVE "True Blood" and I LOVE the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris, that the show is based around, but the two mediums are just different enough to make it worthwhile to read or watch.

I'll have full character work ups next Wednesday for you guys. So until tomorrow, stay classy internets...

Wizarding Wednesdays!

Hello all! It's The Editors big 3-0 birthday today, so the post is going to be short and have nothing at all to do with wizarding. Below are a few videos that gave someone the idea for the television show "Jersey Shore"! So ladies and gentlemen, I give you (temporarily) Guido (G)Wednesday!









Hope you enjoy! And always remember.... a guido never cries...

Wizarding Wednesdays!

Hello again all! Guess who has the flu + a sinus infection? Yup, it's me! Is that going to keep me from posting? Heck no! All the regular Wizarding folk will be over in a bit, I'll just be on the couch flipping through the TV I have on the box. Since it's "Wizarding Wednesday", I have no choice but to watch "Merlin". As previously stated, not my favorite BBC show, but it'll do. Especially in a situation like this. :-)

I thought I would do some more research about what the "outside" world  thinks about the D&D world. When I started my descent into the topic, I knew I'd run into some crazy ignorance, I just didn't know HOW crazy. It seems to me like each church group that has an issue with D&D has had someone they know PERSONALLY commit suicide because of D&D. I'm going to let it be known now that in my 26 (almost 27) years on this planet, I have never known a single person to commit suicide because of D&D. Weird that all these churches can....

This guy is thinking "Ugggggh, that dick DM totally almost killed my character! Gimmie some Cheetos", NOT, "Wooooow, I think I'll kill myself".

Did you also know that D&D is a cult? According to my research, it totally is! Let us forget for a moment  that the game helps kids (and some adults) develop social relationships with their peers and forces you to use your imagination, instead of playing video games. According to one of the websites I visited (adequacy.org) the people you play D&D with are not your friends, and would never be there for you in a time of need. This is absolutely ridiculous. The people I play D&D with are some of my best friends on the planet. They would do (and have done) anything for me. And I would do anything for them. When I had my tonsils out, they were there the next night with Popsicles in hand.  When the day comes that I have kids, I would absolutely trust any of them to watch my children. To some people, that may make me a horrible parent, but who else would I rather watch my kids than a group of people with college degrees and huge imaginations?

Wizarding Wednesday group: Lock your doors and hide your children. These are the most dangerous people you will ever meet.

I feel like the people making a stink about D&D are the same people who think that Harry Potter is going to pollute the minds of children and make them evil. This is nothing more than ignorance, pure and simple. Remember "Footloose"? All the guy wanted to do is dance. Nothing evil. Just dance and be with the girl he loved. Her Bible-thumping father wouldn't let them be together because of the dancing. So silly. Chances are, if there is a boy who hangs around your daughter and all he wants to do is dance, you don't need to worry about him sleeping her. Remember the Salem Witch Trials? Ignorance was what sent all of those people to their deaths.
 
There are always going to be bad people in the world. Dancing, playing D&D, video games or the music you listen to does not have any effect on whether or not your child becomes a murderer or a thief. That being said, if you approach things with an open mind, the world becomes a much nicer place. In no way am I saying to compromise what you believe in, all I'm saying is, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. :-)

If you happened to read this post and still feel like you would like to be an evil cult leader, here is a video showing you how to achieve that dream.

Wizarding Wednesdays

Happy Hump day y'all! Tonight is going to be a short post from me, with some fun comics for you to enjoy! Tonight we will also be introducing Carly on Comics guest author, Evan T. He will be bringing you bio's on some of your favorite comic book characters that never existed, beginning with the exclusive premiere of Space Woman!

Anyhoo, I'm going to go get ready for Wednesday Night Nerdfest, and get my level 5 Elf Fighter on! 

Now, here are some comics to teach you about the evils of Dungeons and Dragons. I find it hilarious. Please do enjoy.

 Moral of the story: Always be yourself. Oh, and don't join a cult. Unless you want magical powers.
