Have I mentioned being a DCAU fan yet?


Watchtower Database is a YouTube channel that covers every corner of the DCAU, released and unreleased. In this video they talk about the final issues of the DCAU Batman comic, what they would've revealed about the canon had they been released. Interesting stuff.



One thing that annoys me is that the Bat-Embargo even extended to comics. Because The Batman had comics, they couldn't make BTAS comics anymore? What stupidity...

One of the classic early College Humor videos is The Tetris God.


Well, years later some actual Tetris players did an analysis of the "game". Funny stuff. My biggest problem is that they didn't bring up the fact that College Humor didn't use the official names for the tetrominos. Actual Tetris players don't say "squiggly", they say "S block", etc.

TV Tunes Acapella does a cover of the TOS theme. You know, the one that sounds like opera singers who have just had bricks dropped on their feet.


I think there's a reason why we don't use this version of the theme very much anymore. The STTMP version is much cooler.

An Imgur user made a gif about Ro Laren's earring being on the wrong ear and Riker making her switch it.


Yes, Ro wears her earring on the wrong ear. They were still working out the kinks in the Bajoran culture at this point.



The novels actually tackled this question. Ro is still sort of devout, so she wears the earring. However, she was annoyed by Vedeks who kept trying to grab her right ear a la Kai Opaka. So she swapped the earring so they couldn't do that.

John C. Worsley's Trek videos have appeared on this thread before, but his best are the Trek/Christmas song mashups. This year it's "All I Want For Christmas is You", Picard style.

I'll admit that King's Quest V isn't as good as VI, but I still have nostalgic feelings for it.



However, some people are almost psychotic about it, and they've been tearing the game apart looking for timesaves. A history of KQV speedruns.

I don't claim to be the world's biggest Animaniacs fan (no, I won't be watching the reboot), but I was a casual watcher back in the day.



The Nations of the World, Annotated



I'm surprised at how many mistakes they made.

The Silurian TARDIS by PaulHanley on DeviantArt

Quote:
Definitely a fun gig- my first honest stab at doing an original console room design. More radical than I'd go with a "standard" attempt, but the "Sil Doctor" is supposed to be a pretty radical break from the standard. An interesting experiment in how far you can push a design while still keeping it at least vaguely recognizable as a TARDIS.

How to survive a Harem Anime


Just a friendly PSA just in case you end up in an anime world.

Someone found a geode that looks like Cookie Monster inside.
