Video of the Day: "Least I Could Do" Animated Series Intro

"Least I Could Do" is a long running webcomic series created by Ryan Sohmer of Montreal, Quebec. It chronicles the mis-adventures of the narcissistic and eternally immature Rayne Summers and his friends as they careen from one crazy situation to another, usually caused by Rayne himself. Sohmer created this video as a 'proof of concept' for a potential animated series.

I've been reading the comic strip for a few years now and all I can ask is "How is this NOT a TV series already?!"

Kid Lands Double Back-flip.... In A Wheelchair or "You Will Believe A Man Can Fly"

Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham is an 18 year old guy from Las Vegas, Nevada who works with disabled children, trying to get them to see their crutches or wheelchairs are not traps, but toys. He travels all over the U.S. talking to kids with physical disabilities and teach them how to handle themselves in the world. How does he get this across to these kids? He is a wheelchair himself! Aaron was born with spina bifida, which is a birth defect where a person's spine does not fully form during the initial month of a baby's development.

But this physical limitation has not stopped him from fully enjoying life. Not only is he incredibly active, he can pull a double back-flip with his wheelchair! You may want to call 'shenanigans', but watch this video before you do.



That was just EPIC! If he can do stuff like that, it's proof positive that anything is possible if you believe! How can you NOT be inspired by this?!

Coolest Game Controller Ever or "The Doctor Is A Gamer"

Towards the end of this year, when I write my Christmas list, I will be putting down three things: a Nintendo Wii, a copy of the Wii game "Doctor Who: Return to Earth" and a Sonic Screwdriver Wii-mote.

Why?

Because this is, bar none, the single coolest video game set-up I have ever seen.

Besides being one of the most interesting and continually satisfying sci-fi shows around, "Doctor Who" is a property that practically screams 'video game'! The sheer number of alien worlds, the Doctor's companions and the plethora of his enemies would translate very well into game levels, playable characters and enemy soldiers/level bosses.

So, until there is a gameplay trailer, I am going to withhold judgement as to whether or not the game will rock or not.

Seriously though, how could it not?

'Duke Nukem Forever' Release Announced or "When Pigs Fly... After Hell Freezes Over"

The annual Penny Arcade Expor (PAX) just closed down and, as usual, there were a few notable announcements regrading some upcoming games. But one game in particular caused more ruckus, more chatter and more nerd headaches than any other. For what seems like the umpteenth time, 'Duke Nukem Forever' is set to be released some time next year.

And now, my thoughts on this stunning revelation.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *deep breath* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!


I loved playing all the previous games in the 'Duke Nukem' franchise and was eagerly awaiting the release of 'Forever' ... before the constant delays and pushing back of the release date ground my expectations of enjoying the new game down to nothing. I gave up on this game a LONG time ago! And that's saying something, considering I'm still waiting for the third issue of the comic "Wildsiderz" to come out, which is about 5 years late!


If, IF, not when, this game is EVER released, the sky will most assuredly be filled with swine that have miraculously grown wings. Or frogs falling from the sky. Either or.
