I don't remember Nerds mentioned in the Bible

Apparently, the Westboro Baptist Church have a few f*ckin’ insane religious nuts whose previous escapades included but are not limited to:

• Protesting Heath Ledger’s Funeral because he played a gay cowboy in one of his thousand movies.
• Threatening to protest Ronnie James Dio’s Funeral because he was well, himself.
• Running the website GodhatesAmerica dot com.  Because we all know we are the next Sodom.
• Running the website Godhatesfags dot com.  I got nutten…

Are going to be protesting this years San Diego Comic Con(SDCC).   Here is what TR(Topless Robot) had to say:

Because, as we all know you can not dress as a comic book character, buy a toy of a comic book character, or read a story about a comic book character without worshiping that character as a god. It’s an impossibility to enjoy fiction without believing those characters are the creators of the universe which we must acknowledge through prayer and worship (I remember the time I was young and watching Sesame Street, and killed my pet rabbit in the name of Super Grover. Kids sacrifice the darnedest things!).

I highly recommend you head over to read the full article on this subject.  Don’t forget to read the comments, I think some of them are better than the article itself.

I came across these amazing drawings a couple of weeks ago.  My first thought was “Sh*t, how did I end up on one of those freaky Japanese hentai sites?”  Then, I realized there wasn’t enough tentacles, the girls still have shirts on, and the artwork was just way to good, professional, mainstream, <insert adjective here> for that stuff.  Plus you have to notice that they are not trying to kill anyone.  Not that I look at those sites mind you.  Nope, these drawings were done by acclaimed comic book artist J. Scott Campbell.  If the drawings look familiar in style, then you might want to look at Campbell’s earlier work of Danger girl and Gen 13.

And without further adieu…the rest of the pictures.

I am an illustrator and a painter. I see monsters in my head and I put them on paper or canvas and let them play.This is my art;I paint and draw things that make me happy.

My favorite painting that I have posted has to be The Joker.  The absolute insanity Christopher portrays in his eyes is awesome.  The blood stained card and hands – exceptional!  Let us not forget he painted The Joker in true form to the original Joker in the Batman series, right down to his corsage.  What he paints is true new age masterpieces.

I know I posted mostly, OK, entirely comic book characters, but he also creates more than just that. If it goes bump in the night or possibly in the day, Christopher will paint it, hell he will even paint your insanities for a price.  If you want to check out more of his work or commission him to paint you a masterpiece, you can click here.  If you really like his stuff and want to have updates of what he is doing you can befriend him on FaceBook here.  Oh, and if you want to get updates from me on FaceBook, click here.  I know…shameless plug.

They were made this way for a reason…so that no matter where you are, you can look at a clock or watch and know what time it is. This is true for just about everywhere…except Japan.

That’s right, the country with some of the weirdest sh*t, makes these awesome art pieces that double as every geeks fantasy.  There is a company named TokyoFlash that creates such pieces.  They range from the mild, like the Nekura line that look pretty much like regular watches, to the extreme such as the Kisai line that includes “Changing Lanes“, which is a watch that you need to follow the lines that cross over each other.

Kisai changing lanes

I wanted one of these watches for years but couldn’t bring myself to cut into my food budget to actually get one.   I checked the sites weekly to see what the newest insanity was that they were going to create next.  Well it is Father’s Day weekend here in the US and my wonderful wife, who has been going through her own medical issues and recovery, bought me a TokyoFlash watch!  The R75 to be exact, tells time in binary along with it’s own twisted “normal” time.  Plus, it is black with blue LEDs which adds a cool and sophisticated touch to give the TAG Heuer, Rolex, and Citizen watches a run for their money.

So, if your significant other is an Uber-Geek and you have no idea what to buy them, check out something that will stimulate them visually as well as mentally. I mean, who doesn’t want to take 5 minutes to figure out what time it is – especially during those long a$$ boring meetings?

Rock Band 3

You’re damn right I’m looking forward to this game!  I originally bought Rock Band as a social game. You know, to try and invite paid-off people off the street my friends over to have some fun and drink some liquid refreshments.  That kinda backfired, and I was reduced to playing it with my family instead.  Who knew that a 4-year old could rock so hard on a drum kit?
But, with all the new features they added to the new Rock Band, it’s hard not to get all stoked about it!  Here’s a short list of the coolest things that it does:

• It allows for 7 people to play at once… that’s vocals, two harmony vocals, drums, guitar, bass, and now keyboard!  The keyboard even allows you to wear it as a guitar or use it as a regular keyboard.
• It has PRO mode!!!  This is by FAR the coolest addition!  PRO mode is, well, actually, just read this from Rockstar Game: “Go Pro. Take your passion for music to the next level: “Rock Band Pro” lets you develop real musical instrument skills through gameplay! Pro Drums supports three expansion cymbals for more accurate drum set simulation. Pro Keys features pitch-accurate keyboard performance. Pro Guitar—the flagship of the RB Pro initiative—features realistic guitar and bass performance, utilizing the new “Mustang Pro” simulated guitar controller. Additionally, Harmonix is working with professionals in the music industry to deliver to players a real electric guitar controller.”  That’s right folks, a real guitar.  Fender has actually signed on to create that guitar!

So, there you have it. Rock Band 3 is going to kick ass!!!  Oh, and here’s the video.
