The Imperial March Performed by a Hard Drive

“Hand” Solo Cops a Feel at Princess Leia

Mathue Shell — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:33:23 +0000

Han Solo, being the opportunist he is, decides to use Leia getting shot as his chance to grab some boob. Funny thing is, I think this actually made it into the movie. You can see him set his hand on the flame, and quickly move it after getting burned. A smile crosses Leia’s face, Han gets to second base, and we get a great missed blooper. Win, win, win.

AT-AT Anatomy T-Shirt. Die Rebel Scum, Die!

Mathue Shell — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 00:21:51 +0000

Well, it’s another week, and here we have another awesome t-shirt.

Redbubble seller and artist, rubyred, has shown us all that these Imperial AT-AT Walkers are actually real animals, and that the rebels should be ashamed for harming such fragile creatures. It’s not their faults the Empire has captured them, encased them in metal armor, forced them into labor, and strapped guns on their heads.

Pick up this shirt in many different colors and styles for $26. Pricey, but this a shirt any Star Wars geek must have.

Pretty in Pink. An Imperial Stormtrooper Protests at the G20 Summit.

Mathue Shell — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 18:56:22 +0000

This photo was taken in London, during the G20 Summit this week.

What better way to join in with the thousands of protesters throwing rocks and breaking windows, than to throw on a nice pink Stormtrooper helmet and suit? It’s very fashionable, eye-catching, and delivers a point. Well…it doesn’t really deliver a point, but who cares? Geeks always have a unique way of protesting.

Admiral Ackbar’s Star Cruiser Recreated With 30,000+ LEGO Pieces!

Mathue Shell — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:56:19 +0000

It’s a trap! Thomas Benedikt has created Admiral Ackbar’s star cruiser from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.

He used over 30,000 LEGO blocks, and took 11 months to build it. Not only that; he took it to a “hoe nuva level”. The ship even has LED lights throughout, giving it a realistic look against a starry backdrop. You can read all the specific build details here.

Check out some awesome pictures of the ship lit up, and in closer detail below…

Video: Star Wars Cantina Band Song Played on the Harp

Mathue Shell — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:20:34 +0000

It doesn’t matter how many times I hear the Cantina Band’s song, I always love it. It’s a classic, it’s a beautiful song. Kudos to this kid for making it even more classy.

Heroes: Cold Wars – Watch Season 3, Episode 17

Mathue Shell — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 02:12:20 +0000

This is the episode that aired last night. Peter, Suresh, and Matt kidnap HRG(Noah), to try and figure out their next step on the run. That’s pretty much it. The entire episode went without showing Hiro, Ando, Claire, or Sylar at all.

Heroes airs Monday nights at 9PM EST, on NBC.

Look at the cute little shiny eye lens. Look at the cute little buttons and slots. Look at the cute little legs and feet. This is without a doubt, the cutest crochet I’ve ever seen.

Okay; no more using the word “cute”.

Halo Wars Demo NOW on Xbox Live. Spartans! Prepare for glory!

Mathue Shell — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 20:05:31 +0000

It’s here! The Halo Wars demo is now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace. The demo is 1.4GB in size.

This should give a lot of Xbox 360 owners a first look into the world of RTS games. I’ve never played an RTS on a console. I’ve played most of the Total War games, and dabbled into Starcraft briefly, but those were obviously on PC.

I haven’t played the demo yet, I’m sitting at about 15% downloaded. Once I finish the download, and play for a bit, I’ll post my thoughts.

It made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. The LEGO Millennium Falcon!

A guy who goes by “Pepa Quin” created this beauty. You can check out the gallery of photos, showing the process of building the Millennium Falcon, at his website, Brickpics.com.

The Cast of Fanboys Talk About the Release and Push Backs

Mathue Shell — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 17:54:48 +0000

“To theaters, it will come.”

After all the push backs, Fanboys is FINALLY coming to theaters. Sounds like good news, but it’s really not. The movie is only going to be released in the following cities on February 6th:

Austin, TX (1 screen)
Chicago, IL (3 screens)
Houston, TX (3 screens)
Los Angeles, CA (10 screens)
New York, NY (10 screens)
Philadelphia, PA (5 screens)
San Francisco, CA (6 screens)
Seattle, WA (3 screens)

If the movie does well, it’ll get a wider release in the following weeks. I’m not too confident that the movie will hit my home town, even if the release is wider.

Stormtroopers have lives. They do things other than just searching for droids, shooting at rebels and always missing, walking around the Death Star, and Wilhelm Screaming.

Here are some Stormtroopers, living their lives, trying to be as normal as possible. Check out the photos below…

Video of the Day: Geeks are Womanizers

Mathue Shell — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 01:10:59 +0000

This is a parody of that crappy Britney Spears song. God I hate Britney Spears…she tries to make pop music like it’s still 1999. At least other pop stars like her back in the day have moved on to bigger and better things, and changed their style.

To suggest a Video of the Day, send a tip to me at tips@geekstir.com, and make the subject line, “Video of the Day”.
