Cool mash-up.

Han Solo outruns a Death Star boulder in this Raiders of the Galactic Empire tee design by FourEyeDesign. Now I’m imagining snakes in X-wings and Vader’s mask melting at the end of Return of the Jedi.

Flash Stars Sing Gospel Cover Of The Firefly Theme To Thank Joss Whedon [Video]

by Nicole Wakelin
Tom Wright

I wonder just how large the donation was...

Capture

Jesse L. Martin and his Flash co-stars Rick Cosnett and Carlos Valdes sang a gospel version of the Firefly theme song that will have you once again crying over the show’s demise. They did it as a thank you after Joss Whedon made a large donation to their Kickstarter.

The group is working on a short film called The Letter Carrier that tells the story of a black family in the 1860s hiding from slavery in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The story is told through music, making this thank you especially appropriate.

See Joss’s tweet and the video after the break.

I helped kickstart "The Letter Carrier" by #JesseLMartin and OMG: http://t.co/Al6dEEfmFm Check out the film & RT: http://t.co/p9kSf8mEgr

7 Wonders: Duel

by admin@purplepawn.com
Tom Wright

Another 7 Wonders game I don't want to play.

7wondersduel

After the release of the Babel expansion in 2014, another new twist is coming to the much sought-after world of 7 Wonders – Duel. Designed for 2 players only, it infuses certain elements from traditional solitaire card games that the available cards will be arranged in a pyramid layout, and only cards that are not blocked by the others could be taken. When a player collects two identical science symbols on the cards, tokens that grant bonus effects are awarded. To win the game, players can choose to achieve military victory, scientific dominance or the most VP.

7 Wonders: Duel has an approximate play time of 20 minutes, and is expected to be released in October 2015.

New Terminator: Genesys Trailer Seems to be Featuring a New Terminator Model [Video]

by Geeks are Sexy
Tom Wright

Really hoping this is PG-13...

I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but there seems to be a never seen before terminator model in the latest Terminator:Genesys trailer. Yes, it’s the one that we briefly see at 0:26 and then coming out of the fire at 0:44. It seems to be some kind of hybrid between a T-800 and a T-1000.

He is back – are you ready?

Terminator Genisys. In cinemas July 2015. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, Jason Clarke, J.K. Simmons, Byung-Hun Lee and Matt Smith.

Give to Game only 2 weeks away!

by Administrator
Tom Wright

It is on.


Give to Game is two weeks away! I thought I'd let you know what to bring along with you:

#1. Food

If you plan on bringing a grocery bag of food for admission, get your paper bag ready and start filling it up! I went through my pantry already and was able to fill a bag with no problem.

Not sure what to give? The most requested items by the food bank are:
  • Canned meats like tuna, stew and chili (pop-tops preferred)
  • Canned vegetables
  • Pasta, pasta sauce
  • Beans
  • Rice
  • Healthy cereals
  • Peanut butter
  • Baby food
  • Baby formula
* All food collected will be donated to Abiding Love Food Pantry. 

#2. Cash

Admission is $20 at the door. We will also have opportunities for your to bid/raffle on items to help further support the Bastrop County Food Pantry. 

#3. Checkbook

Yes, I know we live in the digital age and checks are old-fashioned. However, having some checks handy will let you bid on items without worrying about how much cash you have in your pocket.

#4. Games

There will be a game library that anyone can use, as well as many other gamers bringing their own games. You can also bring your favorite games from your own collection.

#5. A Friend!!!


The more people that come to the event, the more successful it will be. So if you have a co-worker, friend, or family member who wants to help a good cause, bring them along and I can guarantee they will have a good time!

Give to Game. It's what we based our convention on. Molly and I volunteered once and enjoyed ourselves at the extra game night.

I definitely encourage this for anyone interested.

We are looking for volunteers to assist us in setting up the event, manning the registration desk, picking up donations, closing up each night of the event, final event clean-up, etc. In return we would like to offer our appreciation to these volunteers as well as our long time VIP donors with a pre-event open gaming night. The night of April 19th will be reserved gaming for our volunteers and VIP donors only. After set up all volunteers and donors will be allowed several hours of open gaming as well as getting first dibs on door prizes. 

Here is how you can participate in the extra night of gaming: 

* Sign up to volunteer for the event (man the registration booth, set-up, tear down, etc.). Interested volunteers are asked to email us at givetogame@gmail.com

Two Siblings Play ‘Frozen’ Medley While Facing Away from Piano

by Remy Carreiro
Tom Wright

I didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped I would.

You may think you have seen every Frozen cover or parody by now, but the truth is, these two siblings take it to new levels. I don’t even really have words for this.

Man, I wish my sister and I could do something this cool. Yes, wordplay intended.

Natalie should make this.

Ever wanted to be a mermaid, but didn’t want to deal with that whole breathing underwater nonsense?

Well, now you can!

It takes a bit of knitting skill, so you may have to find someone to help, but the Mad Hooker helps you through every step, including what type of wool works best and when to alternate colors.

“Star Wars: Aftermath” Novel Will Bridge Gap Between “The Return of the Jedi” and “The Force Awakens”

by Geeks are Sexy
Tom Wright

What do you think?

afterm1

Star Wars: Aftermath is an upcoming novel by acclaimed writer Chuck Wendig that will bridge the gap between The Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi and the next movie in the Star Wars Saga, The Force Awakens. Unsurprisingly, the book will be the first part of a trilogy.

The second Death Star is destroyed. The Emperor and his powerful enforcer, Darth Vader, are rumored to be dead. The Galactic Empire is in chaos.

Across the galaxy, some systems celebrate, while in others Imperial factions tighten their grip. Optimism and fear reign side by side.

And while the Rebel Alliance engages the fractured forces of the Empire, a lone Rebel scout uncovers a secret Imperial meeting…

Aftermath is expected to be released next September and is currently available for pre-order.
