Portal 2: Featuring the Voice of Stephen Merchant
08.30.10 | Permalink | 1 Comment

Weird. Valve recently announced that Stephen Merchant (yes, writing partner of Ricky Gervais and co-creator of The Office) will be voicing a character in Portal 2, and they’ve released a new gameplay video to prove it. He plays Wheatley, a floating eyeball droid type thing that acts as your companion through part of the game. [...]

Scott Pilgrim vs. The Animation
08.13.10 | Permalink | Comment?

Sick of all the marketing for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World yet? No? Well, I am, and I actually like the comics. Anyway, here’s a cool little animated short that Adult Swim did based on a River City Ransom-inspired flashback scene from Vol. 2. The actors from the movie all voice their respective characters. One [...]

Sym-Bionic Titan: Genndy Tartakovsky’s New Show
08.11.10 | Permalink | Comment?

I have to admit, outside of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated shorts, I don’t think I’ve ever watched a full episode of anything Genndy Tartakovsky has done. However, I generally dig his art style and sense of humour and I’ve caught enough of Dexter’s Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack to be interested [...]

Weezer Hearts Hurley
08.09.10 | Permalink | 1 Comment

Well, I think that clinches it… Weezer are officially the cheesiest band ever. Their new album is called Hurley and the cover artwork is simply a close-up of Lost star Jorge Garcia’s face. If it was any other band, I would just assume this was a joke. But not Weezer. I guess we should be [...]

Tim and Eric “For Your Consideration” Billboards
07.05.10 | Permalink | Comment?

I still haven’t seen the last few seasons of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, but I don’t think I need to see them in order to know that this show most definitely deserves an Emmy! Adult Swim have been putting up some awesome billboards around L.A. that are pegging it for “Outstanding Writing [...]

Karl Pilkington’s Seven Wonders of the World
07.05.10 | Permalink | 1 Comment

If you’re as much a fan of The Ricky Gervais Show as I am, you’ve gotta be looking forward to this TV series, which is due to air on Sky1 in the U.K. sometime this fall. It may or may not come to North America, but hey, that’s why they invented the internet.

Conan O’Brien in Toronto
05.24.10 | Permalink | Comment?

Over the weekend, Conan O’Brien’s Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour rolled into Toronto, and having never seen a taping of his show in New York City before he had moved on to The Tonight Show, Alicia and I didn’t want to miss out on this. I really had no idea what to [...]

Departures
03.30.10 | Permalink | Comment?

Ever since Alicia and I became interested in traveling in university, we’ve been looking for ways to continue to live vicariously through other people’s adventures or to help get ideas for our next trip while we’re stuck at home. The problem is, most travel shows tend to be pretty stuffy and dull, and little more [...]
