Someone remade the overworld from the first Legend of Zelda in 3D.


This sort of stuff amazes me.

A fan documentary about the development of Superman the Animated Series.


And the amazing thing that I learned today was that early designs for Brainiac were based on Ruk from TOS!

Today's Star Trek Advent Calendar entry is a couple stickers, one of which is of the thirteen-star TOS Federation flag. I still wish they had decided what the thirteen members were.

Cracked published an article about Wah Chang today.


Of course you all know about Wah Chang.



Thanks to Inside Star Trek I already knew that he designed the classic phaser, tricorder, and communicator, but going through Memory Alpha let's look at his full contributions...


* The "Cage" laser pistol
* Romulan Bird-of-Prey (the "Balance of Terror" version, also called Vas Hatham class in the Expanded Universe)
* The original tribbles
* The salt vampire (I just can't call it the M-113 creature)
* The flying parasites from "Operation: Annihilate" (sometimes called blastoneurons).



Wah Chang's full involvement in TOS was suppressed for the longest time because he wasn't a member of the propmaker's union.

Your daily dose of weirdness is the 1967 Wonder Woman screen test.


I certainly wasn't expecting the same narrator as Batman 1966. Or the costume to be so pathetic.
