Painfully great mash-up of the original Star Trek and the Camelot musical number from Monty Python’s Holy Grail.

Game show Jeopardy is offering up an online version of its entrance quiz, so that now the morbidly obese, the spastic, the simply hideous to look upon can now enjoy fantasizing that they’ll be game show contestants one day. Ironically, to play the brainy game, one must suicidal must use IE5 as their webrowser, so we’ll link to it and move on this collection of Sean Connery moments from SNL’s Celebrity Jeopardy.

You can now GoogleMap Mars. Mars for its part shows absolutely no interest in mapping us, but we hear they’d appreciate us picking some of the toys we leave lying around.

A well detailed guide on how to build a fairly cool lightsaber replica out of bathroom pipes for not a lot of cash or time. Not mentioned in this blog entry is the fun in explaining your obvious bong-making materials to the cops on the way home, the obvious sex toy to your mom when see sees it, or the frickn’ lightsaber to any girls who might stop by.

Depeche Mode - Suffer Well

READ MORE: Music Video, NERD

Depeche Mode’s Suffer Well becomes a Sims 2 song after David Gahan sings it in Sims-speak “Simlish” (a giberish delivered with an accent blend of Tagalog and Ukrainian.) The video is sort of a jumped-up Machinima, and fairly interesting:

LEGO Exoforce Full 5 minute movie

READ MORE: Animation, NERD

On a box of Lego when it says “ages 8 + up”, that’s us, we’re the reason it has to say that. Incidentally, we’re also why it has to inform you that it’s a “choking hazard.” Here’s the 5 minute long animation promo for the new animae/mech inspired line called Exoforce , which feautres the storyline for the sets. Even you’re not into the toys or commercials for toys, the CG animation is great.

The Star Wars

Bits of footage and leftovers from the original Star Wars film. The opening crawl reminds us of the Star Killer site, which offers up some early drafts of the script and a peek at what the movies might have been.

Graphic Designer Justin Alt cuts Tron to fit a recent Depeche Mode track to interesting effect. Also, electronic unit Xanopticon cuts Xanopticon to Tron with their video for Neurve. Looks like a little 2001 in there too.

What it sounds like — some nice people re-enact 80s video game Mike Tyson Punch Out. Uwe Boll reportedly flabbergasted at the quality-to-budget ratio, declares self utter failure, and quits moviemaking.

For this animated GIF to do anything besides confuse you, you need to have seen the Lord Of The Rings, and you need to get gamer speak, so this is basically comedy for both kinds of asperger’s syndrome victims… and maybe people who took linguistics in college thinking “linguistics” was a lesbian sex thing. We see this, we reckon Generation Y is doomed to burn in slack jawed semi-literacy… of course our parents had those kinds of fears about television and rampant childhood obesity, and that was all nonsense, so we guess we’ll just relax.
