Geek Gear: ‘Doctor Who’ Who’s Who T-Shirt

Posted: 21 Nov 2010 09:07 PM PST

Doctor Who - Who's Who

The $9 t-shirt deal of the day over at Teefury today is the Doctor Who-inspired "Who's Who" by artist Ian Leino.

The sale at Teefury began at midnight EST (Sunday, November 22, 2010) and will continue for 24 hours, and once it's over, it's gone forever.

There's been a surge of cool Doctor Who t-shirts lately, and this newest offering is one long-time Who fans will really dig. It's a light blue shirt with a cartoon drawing on it of the famous time-traveling TARDIS. Spilling out of the TARDIS is the 11 incarnations of the regenerating Doctor.

While some Doctors aren't very well represented (I'm pretty sure for one of them you only see his butt), those popular actors like Tom Baker, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, and current Doctor, Matt Smith, are all easily recognizable [...]

REMINDER: All-New ‘Futurama’ Holiday Special Is TONIGHT!

Posted: 21 Nov 2010 01:18 PM PST



A little over a week ago, the first clip for The Futurama Holiday Spectacular was released online. Since then, numerous other clips have followed in an effort to get people prepared to watch the special, which airs tonight at 10pm EST on Comedy Central.

Being the awesome friend we are, we just wanted to take the opportunity to remind all of you Futurama fanatics one more time so that no one misses it. We're in the middle of a long wait between the end of the last season and the start of the next one, so this is the last new stuff we'll get until sometime next year. For those of you who didn't get the memo, those 26 brand new episodes that Comedy Central ordered, making all of our hopes and dreams come true, were ultimately split up into two seasons. We still twitch with anxiety hoping that many more new seasons will come, but that's all still up in the air and only tuning in to specials like this can help! [...]

Geek Art: He-Man Meets Guns N Roses In ‘Appetite For Eternia’

Posted: 21 Nov 2010 10:42 AM PST

Masters of Paradise City

Take me down to the Paradise City where... I HAVE THE POWER!

Oh how I love a good mash-up.

Here's a new one from artist Joey Spiotto, who took his two favorite things from the 1980s and found a way to put them together: He-Man cartoon characters with the classic Guns N Roses album cover for Appetite For Destruction.

The 13 x 19-inch print, which is on watercolor paper, is available at the artist's Etsy shop for $25 and is listed there as "Appetite For Eternia" (it's called "Masters of Paradise City" on his blog).

You'll recognize the album cover, which has a cross background with skull faces on each point and in the center. The original cover had versions of the five GNR band members; Spiotto's version has five characters from He-Man. He-Man in the center; to the right of him is Man-At-Arms; Orko is at the bottom (no face at all); Skeletor at the very top (with his own skull face). I don't know who that is on the left, I would think it's Teela, but the headpiece and coloring are wrong. The top banner reads "Masters Of The Universe"; the bottom one reads "Appetite For Eternia."

The Exorcist Crochet Amigurumi Playset

The power of yarn compels you!

Artist Croshame (aka Shove Mink) created the most awesome combination of cute and sick with The Exorcist Crochet Amigurumi Playset.
