Holy crap those are some impressive names. But wait! There’s more! 

BBC America has just announced an awesome four-part docu-series called The Real History of Science Fiction to premiere on April 19th (the same night as Orphan Black Season 2 kicks off!) And it’s going to be narrated by none other than Mark Gatiss. “From Star Wars to 2001: A Space Odyssey, and from Jurassic Park to Doctor Who, each program is packed with contributors behind these creations and traces the developments of Robots, Space, Invasion and Time.,” says the press release, “the series determines why science fiction is not merely a genre… for its audience it’s a portal to a multi-verse – one that is all too easy to get lost in.

Are you ready for who they’ll be speaking to?

Among those taking part are: William Shatner (Star Trek), Nathan Fillion (Firefly), Zoe Saldana (Avatar, Star Trek), Steven Moffat (Doctor Who), Richard Dreyfuss (Close Encounters of the Third Kind), Chris Carter (The X-Files), Ronald D Moore (Battlestar Galactica), John Landis (An American Werewolf in London, Schlock), David Tennant (Doctor Who), Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner), John Carpenter (Dark Star, The Thing), Karen Gillan (Doctor Who), Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, Stardust), Kim Stanley Robinson (Mars Trilogy), Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap, Star Trek: Enterprise), Ursula K Le Guin (The Left Hand of Darkness), Syd Mead (Blade Runner), Kenny Baker (Star Wars), Anthony Daniels (Star Wars), Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek), Peter Weller(Robocop), Edward James Olmos (Blade Runner, Battlestar Galactica) and many more.

Outstanding. Though I will point out how funny it is two out of the four women they list here both played Uhura. The press release also gives short bios for Charlie Jane Anders, Veronica Cartwright, Gale Anne Hurd, Ursula K. Le Guin, Audrey Niffenegger, Janet Peoples, presumably also featured in the documentary.

Here’s how the episodes will break down:

EPISODE 1 – ROBOTS

What if our creations turn against us?  The idea of creating life has fascinated society since the earliest days of science fiction. The first installment of the four-part series, Robots transports viewers from the first steps of Frankenstein’s monster to the threat provided by the Terminator and the world of Cyberspace. Find out how Rutger Hauer created one of the greatest speeches in all of science fiction for Blade Runner. Discover from Kenny Baker the challenge of acting in Star Wars while inside the body of R2D2, and learn how Anthony Daniels was drawn to the role of C-3PO by concept art modeled closely on the robot from the silent classic Metropolis. Douglas Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner) discusses how he managed to create a whole new approach to robot design. The creators of the originalRobocop describe how its hidden depths have given it enduring appeal and William Gibson reveals the origins of his seminal novel Neuromancer. From HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey to the Cylons of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica and the world of The Matrix, this is a journey that asks – what does it mean to be human?

Episode 1 premieres Saturday, April 19, 10:00pm ET

EPISODE 2 – SPACE

What if we could explore the vastness of Space? Science fiction has always fed upon our need to explore – to wonder what is out there.  Space journeys from Jules Verne’s earliest ideas about attempts to leave our planet, to the Star Wars far away galaxy through to Nichelle Nichols revealing how her groundbreaking role as Lt. Uhura in Star Trek led to her participation in the recruitment of NASA’s astronauts. It explores the deep sea inspiration for Avatar, finds out why Ursula K Le Guin wrote The Left Hand of Darkness and discovers how Stanley Kubrick was able to make 2001: A Space Odyssey seem so believable. In addition, the program looks at the way Dune and The Mars Trilogy embraced the challenge of world building and discusses the appeal of the beaten up ‘dirty space’ of Dark Star and Firefly.  From the horrifying scenes of Alien, to the epic spectacle of Star Wars, this is a journey to the stars and the alien encounters that await us there.

Episode 2 premieres Saturday, April 26, 10:00pm ET

EPISODE 3 – INVASION

What if aliens landed on Earth? Much of science fiction explores the moment of first contact – what will people do when the aliens land? From H. G. Wells’ pioneeringThe War of the Worlds to Independence Day, Men in Black and District 9, Invasion deals with our fears of alien invasions of earth. David Tennant explains the appeal ofDoctor Who’s Daleks and Cybermen while John Carpenter and Chris Carter explore the rich appeal of the paranoia fuelled by hidden aliens with The Thing and The X-Files. It also asks, what if the monsters were our own creation? With the aid of rarely seen animation tests, Phil Tippett takes us behind the scenes in the creation of the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park.  But not all invasions are hostile. Peter Coyote and Richard Dreyfuss discuss the creation of Spielberg’s spellbinding classics E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. There is more than one kind of invasion.

Episode 3 premieres Saturday, May 3, 10:00pm ET

EPISODE 4 – TIME

What if we could travel not just through space, but through time itself? If you could travel through time, would you change the past or the future? What if you found it couldn’t be changed? What price does the time traveller – and the people they are closest to – pay? This is a journey from H. G. Wells The Time Machine through ideas like The Grandfather Paradox and The Butterfly Effect to the professional time traveller that is the ever popular Doctor Who. Steven Moffat, David Tennant, Karen Gillan and Neil Gaiman offer a unique perspective on the Doctor. Edward James Olmos reveals the hidden meaning of the language he created for the vision of the future that is Blade Runner. Bob Gale and Christopher Lloyd take us behind the scenes of Back to the Future, while Ed Solomon describes the joy of solving a time travel conundrum for Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. But what would be the physical and emotional cost to the time traveller? Audrey Niffenegger explains what inspired her novel The Time Traveller’s Wife. And what if someone from the future tried to travel back in time to warn us? Would we believe them? From the apocalyptic tones of 12 Monkeysto the drama of Quantum Leap and the comedy of Groundhog Day, time travel is a subject that has been irresistible to the creators of every type of science fiction.

Episode 4 premiere TBC.

The hit Indie game Minecraft is going to be hitting the big screens. Mojang game studio founder Markus Persson aka Notch leaked the news, with the goal of beating another leak, which I think is pretty darn hilarious! Utilizing the lightning speed Tweet, Notch had this to say:

The news is coming out that this will be a live-action film, which is pretty confusing, considering the 8-bit format of the actual game. Of course, YouTube artists have been making money from 8-bit Minecraft videos for years now, so maybe Warner Brothers wanted to try something more original. Let’s just hope they pull it off.

Since its creation, Minecraft has sold over 100 million copies, and millions of dollars have been made from the sales of Lego kits, T-shirts, and cardboard 8-bit accessories. That’s nothing compared to the sales of Minecraft Pocket Edition, Minecraft PS3, and Minecraft for XBOX 360, each of which have made millions of dollars, setting records for each of the platforms.

Given its extraordinary fanbase, Minecraft’s film debut promises to be one of the highest grossing films in recent history. Kids all over the world are already clamoring for details. Hopefully more news will come soon.

Walking across the parking lot back to my car from the gym, I noticed that someone had dropped a hat in the lot. I wondered, as I always do, whether it was better to leave it where it was so that the owner could retrace their steps or to pick it up so it didn't get run over and try to put it somewhere really visible.

Then I noticed that it was my hat.

First things first, this episode of TableTop features Miracle Laurie and Angela and Aubrey Webber of The Doubleclicks. They play the area control game, Lords of Vegas, where they compete against each other and Wil to become the most powerful bosses at the richest casinos.

It’s the last episode of season two and it’s a very comfortable one. The guests all have great chemistry with each other and, at times, the episode verges on turning into a music video. The atmosphere is warm and fun but, in the end, it feels a little bittersweet because this could be the last episode of TableTop we’ll ever see.

Since its inception, the show has been funded through Geek & Sundry by YouTube’s Original Channel Initiative. After sinking $300 million into the program that supported just over 100 new channels featuring content from Madonna to ESPN to Deepak Chopra and, of course, Geek & Sundry, YouTube shuttered the program this past fall.

The sad, simple truth is that Geek & Sundry hasn’t announced new funding for its most popular and successful show, TableTop. Certainly, producing the show is a significant endeavor. The crew is made up of more than 30 people and with its set and camera and lighting requirements, it’s like putting on a small television program.

Like a television program, its production schedule is drawn out. By this time in late February, before seasons one and two, the crew had already filmed half of the episodes to be shown in the upcoming seasons, but that’s not the case this time around. Instead, the maroon-felted table is sitting empty and collecting dust, waiting for news if a season three will take form.

A Kickstarter campaign to fund the show is a possibility, as is the hope of finding new funding. But at this time, neither of those is any more than a dream. At the very best, we’re looking at a really long hiatus before we see Wil and his friends playing tabletop games again. At the very worst, this is the last episode of TableTop we’ll ever see, which is an awfully sad possibility.

But let’s focus on the positive. This is another great episode of TableTop and to celebrate this episode (and the entire series), The Doubleclicks recorded a tribute to TableTop that is, in true Doubleclicks fashion, nerdy and quirky and wonderfully endearing. Have a watch and keep an eye out for game designers Keith Baker, Paul Peterson, Mike Selinker, and James Ernest, plus a special appearance by Adam WarRock.

But for this episode of TableTop and its winner, I’ll just quote The Doubleclicks: “So we got to the studio, time to make TV. They have lights, they’ve got cameras and my sister and me. And we played a game. So how did it go? I guess you’ll have to watch the episode if you want to know.”

Note: Since this story was published, Geek & Sundry Public Relations Manager, Jennie Kong, has responded to us, saying that “TableTop season 3 is currently in development.”

Is it time to replace your fine china? You might think so after seeing Don Moyer’s Calamityware. Moyer was inspired by a traditional blue dinner plate, and started making drawings in the same style but with things like dinosaurs, UFOs, and flying monkeys. (You can see a collection of his drawings on Flickr.)

Thanks to the magic of Kickstarter, Calamityware made the leap from concept to reality. Moyer’s first design, the flying monkeys, was funded in November and is now in production at the Bryan China Company in Pennsylvania. The second design, featuring a giant robot, is on Kickstarter now. I love the juxtaposition of the classic style with the quirky, geeky references, and I particularly like the fact that the plates are being made in the traditional way instead of just cheap plastic plates. These would be great for serving snacks at a game night or to inject a bit of subtle geekery into a fancy dinner party.

In case you missed the first project, you can still order the flying monkey plate here, but if you want the giant robot it’s slightly cheaper to pledge for it now (at $25 for a plate). I’m looking forward to seeing what design comes next.

kstipetic: Here is a thing I made to help you art.

If you've ever had too much fizzy drink, and if you've ever had too much wasabi, then you have some inkling of just how painful this combination is.

---

2014-02-14 Rerun commentary: Not to be outdone by any hypothetical weirdness, the Japanese company Ramune has indeed released a wasabi soft drink! There are several videos of people on YouTube trying it, although frankly none of them are terribly impressive or as dramatic as this comic. (This is probably the best, but one of the longest with three other flavours, including curry(!), tried first - the wasabi test starts around 5:15.) The actual drink seems to be fairly weak in flavour, and doesn't actually contain any real wasabi.

Clearly there is still a market niche to be carved out here...

Our friends over at Laughing Squid brought this to our attention. Here’s a Los Angeles-based artist named Joey Spiotto (who also calls himself “Joebot”) taking a look back at classic Nintendo video games and imagining them as if released as Little Golden Books. Prints of these cute and clever images are available to purchase online from Etsy.

Spiotto also sends up other games, like Portal and The Elder Scrolls (see above), as well as putting movies such the Nick Frost/Simon Pegg “Cornetto Trilogy” (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End) into the Golden Book theme. He gives us Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings as retro LP sleeves, re-envisions Hitchcock movies as Nintendo games, and more.

Very cool stuff. See more at jo3bot.com.

So these arrived yesterday:

Those are nail wraps from Espionage Cosmetics – who, among other things, did the Browncoat Eyeshadow Collection and The Collection of Ice and Fire.  These are from their Kickstarter, and I’ll be curious to see how they work in real life – they’re kind of like stickers that go on your nails, and I suspect my nail salon will be mystified.

But I do intend to wear them to WeaselCon in New York next Thursday.  No, I won’t tell you which one – I actually have six more of these suckers.  And yes, Gini will be wearing them too, since I share.

I can’t wait to give you a review!

Tasty Minstrel Games is on a roll this year with their Kickstarter games, particularly their line of “Pay What You Want” minigames. Coin Age managed to raise a whopping $65k on an area control game that was essentially a single card (though stretch goals added on more stuff later). Burgoo was a cooking game that raised a more modest $20k—still not bad. Their current project, with less than a week to go, has one of my favorite titles yet: This Town Ain’t Big Enough for the 2-4 of Us.

This Town is an area-control tile-laying game (a la Carcassonne), where you’re trying to stake out land in the wild west. There’s actually a free print and play available if you want to give it a shot, though the finished product will have nicer graphics. The game is, as the title suggests, for 2-4 players, takes about 15 minutes, and costs—well, whatever you want. (Minimum pledge is $3 including worldwide shipping, with a $5 suggested pledge.)

The game includes 25 tiles, and thanks to some stretch goals it’ll also come with a scoreboard, and the Stinkin’ Badges expansion. If the funding reaches $22,500 the Hired Guns expansion will be added as well.

There are four different brands—each player picks one. It’s a nice touch that the brands have different shapes and images, so it works for color blind players, too. Each tile shows some pattern of fences and brands, and some also have silver ingots on them.

The starting tile has an X fence on it with one brand in each section, and this is placed in the center of the table. Players then take turns drawing a tile and placing it, always adjacent to another tile already on the table.

Whenever you complete a town (by fencing it in) then you score that town. Whoever has the most brands in the town gets points based on the number of brands that the second-place player has. For example, in the picture above, Bell/Circle has 2 brands, so they’re in first place. Second place is Bull/Triangle with 1 brand, so Bell/Circle gets 1 point. Other players can also score based on the number of brands fewer than them (not in this example), but last place scores nothing. Completing a town with a silver ingot (whether or not you’re first place) lets you then move a tile—but only if it doesn’t break up a completed town.

That’s basically it: you play until all the tiles are used up, and the highest score wins.

The Verdict

I love tile-laying games. Carcassonne was one of my first board game loves, and is still one of my favorites. But for whatever reason I haven’t played a lot of tile-laying games that stay simple while providing depth in strategy. While This Town probably won’t unseat Carcassonne for me, it does have a similar flavor and I think it’ll be great for a quick fix.

The scoring mechanic is pretty clever: to score big, you want to build a big town, but not only do you need a lot of your brands in it, you also need somebody else to have a lot—but not quite as many as you. That tension is what really makes the game interesting: start a town with a bunch of your brands in it, and somebody might just cap it off when you’ve got only one point (or none). But get a big town going where you don’t have a clear lead, and somebody could steal it away from you. Unlike Carcassonne, though, it’s hard to score much by finishing little tiny towns, because if there are only two brands in a town then nobody scores anything.

The silver ingots also make it possible to pull off some great turns. For instance you might be able to close off a town that scores a little bit for somebody else, but then use the silver ingot power to move a much-needed tile to give you the edge somewhere else. Or, even better, you might be able to score twice (or more!) in one turn.

In short, This Town Ain’t Big Enough for the 2-4 of Us is, in fact, big enough for a nice tile-laying fix when you need it. And since you get to pick your price, you can choose something that seems fair—it’s definitely worth the $5 suggested donation, particularly if some more of those stretch goals get unlocked. Check out the Kickstarter page for more details.

We are thrilled to announce that we are rolling out Premium accounts for The Old Reader. Since taking over the application in August we’ve made tremendous strides to improve the dependability and speed of the application. We’ve also begun the process of building and releasing heavily requested features and have worked diligently on user support. We believe The Old Reader is now truly a world-class application!

Our next goal is to ensure the long term financial viability of The Old Reader. Hosting, development, and support are not inexpensive and while it’s never been our goal to get rich off of this application, long term sustainability and growth will require revenue. So we explored several models for generating revenues including a premium offering and advertising. In the end, we’d like to avoid advertising as we feel it’s too invasive and runs counter to our strong belief in the open web. So we started working on a premium offering that would allow 90% of our users to continue on with a free account that is largely unchanged from what they are using today.

What will you get with The Old Reader Premium?
- Full-text search
- Faster feed refresh times
- Up to 500 Subscriptions
- 6 months of post storage
- Instapaper and Readability integration
- Early access to new features

What will it cost?
The Old Reader Premium will cost $3/month or $30/year. However, for the next 2 weeks (or up to 5,000 accounts) we’ll be offering the service for $2/month or $20/year and we will lock you into that price for a minimum of the next 2 years. This is our way of saying thanks to our existing users and hopefully getting the Premium service off to a great start.

Do I have to upgrade?
No! 90% of our users can continue on for free just as they are today. However, users with more than 100 feeds will need to upgrade to premium. Otherwise, all functionality will remain available to free accounts. We also offer a 2 week trial period for the premium service and will even allow that trial period to get extended for those still interested in moving to Premium.

We hope you are as excited about TOR Premium as we are. It’s a great value for a service that we know our users will love. Thanks for continuing to support us and thanks for using The Old Reader!

If the LEGO CUUSOO sets keep going the way they are, a whole lot of geeks are going to start going broke. Following on the heels of August’s release of the Back to the Future DeLorean set, the next release has just been revealed: a model of the Ectomobile from the iconic 1984 movie Ghostbusters and the much less iconic 1989 sequel Ghostbusters II.

They haven’t revealed exactly what the upcoming set will look like – right now, all we have to go on are the photos of the set submitted by a designer named Brent Waller. The official press release from LEGO makes no mention of the renovated-firehouse headquarters building being part of the set, which is slightly disappointing as it looks pretty incredible in Waller’s photos. But the Ectomobile by itself will be plenty incredible if that (and minifigs of the Ghostbusters, of course) are all that’s included, especially if they make the lights on top work.

So, what do you think? A sure-thing insta-buy no matter what, or wait and see?

Game of Thrones might be fantasy, but the characters are so deep and the betrayals so gripping that it feels real. And thanks to Oculus Rift, I just experienced a brief slice of life in the Seven Kingdoms. It was awesome—but I'm glad to be back in our reality.

Death by Amy Reeder Hadley (Madame Xanadu)

Heh.  This was my favorite issue in Madame Xanadu…issue 6.  Not only did I get to draw Death, but I was quite excited to be drawing an aging Madame Xanadu.  And of course, I thought the way Matt Wagner wrote this was super cool and inspiring.

'Don't Read The Comments' cross-stitched piece by Esther Ní Dhonnacha on Etsy.

Japan’s Walt Disney turns 73 today. Legendary animator and director Hayao Miyazaki is responsible for some of the best animated films of the last 30 years, including (but certainly not limited to) My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Ponyo, and the brilliant Spirited Away — which remains the only film produced outside the English-speaking world to have won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

Growing up, Miyazaki had wanted to be a Manga artist, but reportedly shifted his focus to animation during high school. After working as an animator in other studios in his twenties and thirties, Miyazaki came into his own with 1984′s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, the first feature he both wrote and directed. The next year saw the founding of Studio Ghibli with fellow director Isao Takahata, and the animation studio quickly gained a reputation as one of the best in the world.

Beginning with Princess Mononoke in 1999, Disney has released most of Miyazaki’s films in the United States with dubs done by prominent actors and actresses. While that film did poorly at the box office, likely mostly due to lack of marketing, later releases such as Spirited Away and Ponyo have done quite well. Two years ago, Ghibli found further success in America with a similarly-dubbed version of the studio’s The Secret World of Arrietty, the first of their films distributed by Disney that was not directed by Miyazaki, but rather by his protégé Hiromasa Yonebayashi. Miyazaki’s current film, The Wind Rises — which he wrote and directed — will be released in North America by Disney as a dubbed version late next month. Based on the trailer (see below), it looks like another beautiful feather in Miyazaki’s already estimable cap. Sadly, though understandably given his status as a septuagenarian, Miyazaki has announced that The Wind Rises will be his final film.

So please join all of us at GeekDad in wishing Hayao Miyazaki a very happy 73rd birthday, and many more to come!

Ah, Christmas. A time of family, food, and rapacious consumerism – three of my favorite things. I don’t know what sorts of things you do on Christmas, but here is a bit of mine:

INTERIOR, YOUNG KITCHEN – DAY

It’s Christmas morning. Shamus and Rachel are in the kitchen. Rachel is using the laptop and Shamus is holding an extra-sharp KITCHEN KNIFE, weighing it in one hand like he’s about to throw it. Rachel is almost 16. She’s tall, assertive, and headstrong, but also wary of her trickster father.

SHAMUS:

Wanna play a game?

RACHEL:

What daddy? (Sees knife.) NO! Go away!

SHAMUS:

Come on. It’ll be fun.

RACHEL:

(Adamantly.) I don’t want to play any game that involves knife throwing!

SHAMUS:

(Still bobbing the knife up and down.) I’m not gonna throw it.

(Rachel raises one eyebrow at him, extremely skeptical.)

I’ll TOSS it, and you can catch it.

RACHEL:

No!

SHAMUS:

Come on. It’ll be fun.

RACHEL:

I don’t want to be stabbed with a knife!

SHAMUS:

That’s why you should make sure to catch it.

RACHEL:

I’m busy. Go away. (She turns back to the laptop.)

SHAMUS:

(Shamus quickly sets the knife down and picks up a magic marker.)

Catch!

RACHEL:

(Seeing the object flying at her out of the corner of her eye.) Gah! No! Ah!

(The magic marker has bounced harmlessly off and landed in her lap. Rachel waves her arms frantically, thinking she’s just been hit with a knife. She’s squealing and freaking out like she’s got a bug on her. When the fit is over she finds the magic marker.)

That was mean!

SHAMUS:

(Laughing.) Sorry.

RACHEL:

(Getting angry.) I can’t believe you did that! I thought you threw a knife at me.

SHAMUS:

Yeah. That part was awesome.

RACHEL:

(Kind of half-kidding, half-pissed.) You’re a horrible father!

SHAMUS:

Aw. I didn’t mean to upset you.

(Rachel glowers at him.)

Let me make it up to you.

RACHEL:

(Guardedly.) How?

SHAMUS:

I’ll do the same prank to someone else while you watch.

RACHEL:

(Beat.)

Okay.

Merry Christmas from the Youngs.
