Someone suggested this contest a while ago, and I have no idea who. My apologies, whoever you are. The reason I waited so long to run this contest despite it being an obviously great idea -- thus forgetting the suggestor -- is that I personally have no idea when I first realized I was a nerd. I ...

Dear TR reader MakaCat alerted me to these four fabulous commercials for the mysterious and powerful PRIME computer of '80s England, being shilled by Doctor Who (yes, yes, I know it's just "The Doctor," Who fans) in his Tom Baker mode. Amazing that I've never heard of such an incredible computer ...

I let you guys off easy the past couple of weeks, so you know what that means. Today's FFF comes to us from Byron V, who says, "I have a friend who's a huge HP nerd and she, being the evil woman that
she is, sent this to me as a laugh. If I never see or read about Lucius

Fuck Smallville right in its ear. I want to watch a show about the kid who got this detention report:If anyone has any right to sing Five for Fighting's ridiculous "Superman" song -- and I'm not convinced they do -- it would have to be this kid. Getting detention while trying to save the world? ...

Be careful -- this song, performed by Mixel Pixel, has been known to cause children to go insane and kill, as it has to do with Dungeons & Dragons. It's also kind of erotic, thanks to all the drawings that look vaguely like vaginas in the beginning. No? You don't see 'em? Just me? Well, then ...

Comic Book Resources alerted to me to this commercial for the Teenage Muant Ninja Turtles 25th anniversary crossover/event/cartoon movie Turtles Forever, which in turn alerted me to the fact that it's airing tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. EST on whatever channel 4Kids.tv is slumming it on (The CW, ...

So the new Twilight movie comes out today, and, in order to combat the plaque of sparkly vampires that are consuming the public consciousness, I wanted to focus on some other vampires... who are almost as goofy. Luckily, a new TV ad for Daybreakers -- that vampires-in-charge-of-the-world flick ...

Star Wars revealed Gentle Giant's newest statue, due next spring, to be R2-D2 with all the bells and whistles. And when I say bells and whistles, I mean saws and lightsabers and shit. This fully-loaded, 7-inch Artoo statue has 8 accessories for you to attach or not attach, including:• The ...

Want to start your Friday by watching every single murder in Total Recall? Let me answer that for you -- yes, you do (it even includes the fish). You know, if you take out all the bits where people aren't dying horribly, Total Recall can seem like a very violent movie. (Via /Film)

Bat-fans in the '60s tuned into the Adam West Batman TV show for one reason: the awesome villain guest-stars. Sure, West was campy, Yvonne Craig's Batgirl was hot, and Stafford Repp's Chief O'Hara was painfully Irish, but none of them held a Bat-candle to the weekly parade of ...

Okay. So maybe this 1985 Canadian look at Dungeons & Dragons doesn't have any hard proof that the famous role-playing game instantly turns its players into murderers, suicides and lunatics. But I think we can all read between the lines, can't we? Good lord. I feel sorry for all the crazy ...

Yes. A Star Trek phaser -- as in

Kotaku says this is an Asian commercial for Pringles, and I'm inclined to believe them. Frankly, I can't think of any other explanation for this video that makes any more sense. I mean, it starts with a dude wandering about some abandoned/haunted building straight out of Silent Hill, complete ...

It's Biff's world, we just live in it -- that is, until Marty goes back and recovers that damned sports almanac he accidentally left in 1956 and prevents the rise of BiffCo. But you can celebrate the Biff-laden alternate reality with this fine shirt from Wake Up Time to Die for 18 pounds (or a ...

Ladies and gentlemen, please let me introduce you to the greatest game of 2010. It's a Half-Life 2 mod called Dino D-Day, and if you're reading this before you watched the video, it's about World War II where the Nazis have dinosaurs. So you fight Nazis. And dinosaurs. And Nazi skywalking ...

Oh, poor James Cameron. First, everyone makes fun of his 10-years-in-the-making furry fan-fic Avatar, and now, thanks to listings for the official Avatar soundtrack, the "plot" has been revealed for all to see. I put plot in quotes not because I think Avatar is plotless, but because I'm pretty ...

Samurai Jack was Good Shit. Probably because it was made by Genndy Tartakovsky (although I won't go into my 2-D animated Clone Wars spiel here), and he does good work. Which is why, even though this was announced on a blog by a little known film production company called Frederator, the news ...

Before I lose my mind, let me let the Minneapolis CityPages lay down the facts:d'Armond Speers spoke only Klingon to his child for the first three years of its life.

Dago-bam, motherskywalkers! No wonder Luke left so quick in Empire Strikes Back. I wouldn't have hacked it on Dagobah for more than an hour before crying and wetting myself. Infinite thanks to CommandSheep for the tip.
