Epic Geek Fan Made Trailers = WIN

So I've been off playing WoW - trying to get gear and raid like a good little girl. If my guild wasn't full of jackass's I might be better off. But they often ignore me and I don't care anymore.

But more and more the fans seem to have better eyes and visions for how movies should be then how they are getting made. It makes me cry right now that they are REMAKING Alien and Buffy. Not the Buffy TV show - the movie that predates the tv show. WHAT THE FUCK?! Okay okay.. I can see Buffy. It was fairly corny, cheesy and was meant to ride on a special actors 90210 fandom. Fail there.. But Alien? ZOMG FAIL NO. NO.

What makes me think that fans have better eyes for what should be done? Well thanks to Topless Robot post. I can bring you this :

And I quote from TR :

Fillion himself has seen it and deemed it "awesome," so you know it's good. I swear, I know Warner Bros. probably wants to cast somebody young like Chris Pine or Bradley Cooper in the role of Hal Jordan, but I don't know how you can look at Fillion's square jaw and not think of Hal Jordan.

I WHOLE HEARTILY agree sir. Most whole heartily. More geek fan made goodies after the jump..

These are just proof that Hollywood really needs to listen to the fans. YES, they need to make a movie that everyone can see/understand. But they fail to acknowledge a good portion of those dropping the money opening weekend are the fans they need to please. Cause as the please the nerd friends, they tell non-nerd friends to see it. Who then are drawn to what originally made the film. Least those with a brain and the natural human curiosity still working for them.

And yes.. I know there are HUNDREDS of HUNDREDS of bad fan made trailers. But I still think when Hollywood see's ones like those above.. they need to stand up and pay attention to the makers of them. Seriously.

Epic Red Dragon is a piece of Cake.. Litterly!!

All that is geek and great rejoice. I was highly amused to come across a picture post. So much so, that I felt the need to share with the geeks who read this. A Epic Red Dragon Cake. *squeal of joy* The dragon sits a top a mega mat play mat with gold coins scattered about its massive body and a extremely large D20 under its front right paw. With a commanding gaze and a knowing smirk of the ass kicking it will/would have in store for some poor adventurers - that is if it wasn't a great Geek Birthday Cake!

Now if your interested in having this hansom devil of a dragon grace a table for your next Geek Event, it only cost a easy $750. Much credit for the brilliant creation of this delicious monster goes to the baker, a Mike McCarey of Mike’s Amazing Cakes.

More pictures after the jump!

I am still in hiding...

Nothing against you - my valued readers(if any). I've been sick and busy dealing with other stuff that involves actually being paid monies. So here is the new Watchmen trailer to make up some for it. It actually gives people who've not read the graphic novel a bit more insight in to the plot of the movie. As well as builds on the pure music trailer put out back in July.

I'll be back on Monday with an actual blog as I plan to cave to the curiosity by picking up my game and a time card. Cause I really should talk to my friends there again. Have a good weekend folks!

The Blogger.. Part 2

So picking up where I paused at the other night. My gaming education then shifted gears as I got in to RTS and MUDs online. Now by this time I was in High School and my gaming for consoles was a observation through one cousin who was still gaming strong.

Time drags on.

I started dating and a few boyfriends in I find one in to gaming on consoles. And fearing to be rusty as he's on a PS2, I'm more curious to watch and observe over his shoulder then jump in to gaming. At one point a friend of his finds out about this and attempts to convince him to marry me as soon as he can. I find the humor in it of course, but whats even funnier is I'm still with him to this day. Gaming away, but I'm getting a head of my self.

Creepy mofo you really wana keep the camera on.

It is with the PS2 I find New additions to the Silent Hill and RE families. A few sleepless weekends later of gaming at his place I add these to my happy memory box. I soon discover Fatal Frame. It was like the rush when I discovered Silent Hill. The game play was new and unusual - if a bit frustrating at times with the restrictions to camera movements but the game didn't lose its hold on me. I soon added it to my list of games to play till the disk broke.

I get in to playing with him in Slayers and other fighting games. You win some and lose some. Then one day when we were hanging out I wander in to the game room to find him playing a curious game on the PC. I'd never seen it before, it looked like some card game but not with playing cards. So in my usual way, I sat and watched. It was a couple days till I got the urge to ask him to play my self. He sat by my side and helped walk me through my new addiction - Magic the Gathering. The game, now seriously out dated, was a PC version in which you played a Plains Walker trying to save a world from being taken over. It was amusing, but he soon told me that it wasn't just a PC game. WHAT? I had to see this.

So we dug around in a closet in his room to find a moving box full of MtG cards. I dove in reading what I could get my hands on. It wasn't long till he was helping me build a Green deck. And he found his old decks for us to play with. It became something fun for us to do when we just wanted to sit and spend time together. Playing with the cards, making new decks or looking at what was coming out.

Another skip in years, we move (as in him and I) and the addiction keeps going. We find places to play against others. We become regulars and get better at our skills and game styles - he's more aggressive while I play on strategy. After some time of learning rules and getting better I take over running the weekly events for a friend at his Comic and Gaming Shop. I get to be a bigger geek by picking up my comics on top of gaming. Go me.

It gets better though, as my friend loses his shop help he asks me to take his place in helping him run the shop. I gladly agree to it, while working with my boyfriend to get him in place to run the FNM when I wasn't able to. Now at the shop we cover all types of gaming, table top, console, LAN gaming and miniatures. So now on a daily bases I get a great big helping of other types of gaming. This is where I get an exposure to WoW. At first I giggle and mock it, amused by it in truth. Months though in what is really a far more stressful job then some might think, I cave and make a trial account to vent some stress. It was better then I expected and far more entertaining.

In between all of this insanity - I get in to Anime. LORD do I get in to it, Cosplaying and all. My best friend took me to my first AnimeCon. BEST TIME EVER. Anyway I can sum this part up in one word - Otaku. Tyvm. My mom also raised me on Star Wars, Star Trek and M*A*S*H. So yeah I'm just all over the f*king place really.

Currently I still work for this shop, I'm still with the boyfriend and I'm a big geek. As it stands my Boss got in to Warhammer and 40k. I'm currently looking at building my own army, as well as my boyfriend. I still play Magic, if anything to appease the guys surprised to hear a girl plays. I play WoW.. and consoles.. and more then I really have money for. God Help me.

But hey... I'm a Gamer.
