Dalek Art Car with stormtrooper at Burning Man

Whovians are everywhere!

Our crew down at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA, this weekend has gotten some awesome Doctor Who-themed photos, as this Con is the kind of place you'd expect a property like Doctor Who to be well represented.

Also happening this weekend in Nevada's Black Rock Desert is Burning Man, and as it turns out, a fully working Dalek art car was on the scene.

And to guard the Dalekmobile? A stormtrooper!

Watch Now: Player Drops 9.3 Billion ‘Geometry Wars 2′ Score

Posted: 05 Sep 2011 03:30 PM PDT

Geometry Wars 2

If you've ever played Geometry Wars 2 or games like it, you know that they can be highly addicting and, for some people (such as myself, for example), they can be utterly frustrating.

But some folks just have a knack for remaining cool under video game pressure (like Jimmy from The Wizard), and can land massive scores. Take, for instance, a player by the name of TheDannyOutlaw, who just pulled off an incredible 9,342,803,875 in Geometry Wars 2's Pacifism mode. It doesn't look so hard at first, but once the multiplier has the score at about 500,000,000 or so, you'll start to see how difficult this feat is to achieve.

And the craziest thing about it? It's only the SECOND highest score ever accomplished. A player named Mr Raincloud scored 9,940,395,050 a couple of months back (watch here).

Continue on below to see TheDannyOutlaw make a great run at the record score. [...]

Watch Now: ‘Conan the Barbarian: The Musical’

Posted: 05 Sep 2011 09:00 AM PDT



Ever since Conan the Barbarian was first brought to life in 1932 by creator Robert E. Howard the character has endured the many decades since in books, comics, games, several films of varying quality, and on television in live-action and animated form. Conan has achieved great fame and success in every form of popular media short of being turned into a Broadway musical... until now.

Jon and Al Kaplan, the writers and composers of the off-Broadway hit Silence! The Musical, which was inspired by the movie Silence of the Lambs, have composed a rousing little Conan-themed ditty called "Crom!" and have created a video to go with the song comprised of clips from the 1982 Conan the Barbarian film. You can watch that video below this article [...]

Captain America PSA

The folks at Dragon*Con TV have released yet another of their humorous videos that play on all the panel screens while people wait in line and such at Dragon*Con 2011.

The humor of this situation -- as many long-time fans of the comic book know -- is that Tony Stark (a.k.a Iron Man) is a recovering alcoholic while the team's star spangled leader Captain America owes all of his powers to experimenting with drugs [...]
