Dundracon, Winter Sky, Monty Python, and Vegas

Really excited about my booth at Dundracon. I will be setting up Friday the 12th and running the booth Saturday and Sunday. Joining me will be the lovely Winter Sky, a self proclaimed nerd who also happens to be a hot and all around cool chick. Stop by and say hi.



I heard that the original Resident Evil is out for Wii. What a classically awesome game. Funny thing is I started by playing Resident Evil 2 and then went back to RE1. In spite of much lower graphics and game play, RE1 creeped me out about 10 times more. Great game, and also our first introduction to the wonderfully evil Umbrella Corporation.



I am almost done with the reshooting of all my shirts project and updating the content. Check out my shirt descriptions to see new links to great sites of interest. I also just ordered some Monty Python t shirts, but unless they get here really early I won't be able to put them up before Dundra and will probably just load them up for the show. I am headed to a trade show in Las Vegas right after (see my Hangover t shirts (shameless plug)) so it might be a while, but I will get them up ASAP. Keep checking back to see when they get on.

Galaxy Quest and Nerdfighters

Watched Galaxy Quest the other night. Two of my friends are also sick so we sat around bitching to each other and watched the movie. God I love it. Guy is the man, and the inspiration for the Red Shirt section. He had the best line in the movie, "Did you guys ever WATCH the show?" I also found a cool site by and for nerds called Nerdfighters. Our kind of people, I think. Let me know what you think.

Feeling sick and upset women

Feeling kind of sick tonight, and had to blow off a date with a girl I really like. I am worried that she is pissed at me but don't know what to say or do. Anyway, I think I will stay home and work on the site most of the weekend. Apparently social networking is The Way to promote your site, so I guess this weekend I will build the Nerdkungfu Facebook page. Otherwise more shooting better images and looking for interesting links.

On the difference between zombie movies and horror movies

Working on updating my images with higher quality and more closeups. Also adding some more links to some of the shirts and updating the horror and zombie categories. Some people ask me why I have separate zombie and horror movie categories, but I really see a huge difference. Horror movies are all about people more or less being helpless and killed without much chance to fight back, until the end when the heroine figures out that Freddy Krueger will die (at least for this episode) if she can trick him into looking at a mirror or something equally lame. The point is people are helpless and often tortured (Saw being the premium example of this). Zombie movies, on the other hand, are desperate fights for survival, but all the people can and usually do fight back, even in the face of overwhelming odds. I much more prefer zombie to horror movies, as I am a fan of the human spirit and drive to survive. Of course, there is fun to be had in a good horror movie, if only to keep a body count.

Cheap t shirts and Warhammer rankings

New cheap shirts, including a ton of very cool vintage Soviet Union stuff and my new fav, Our Friend the Atom. Check them out. I am watching Season 4 of Stargate Atlantis. Cool but slightly disappointing like you asked for Dijon mustard but they only had regular. I just don't care about the characters like I did for SG1. Glad to see Sam again though. My Skaven army is starting to come together. I also found out that I ended last year ranked number 13 in the country for Warhammer GTs. Not bad, but it seems the ranking system favors attending a ton of mid range tournaments and just placing in the top 10. First tournament of the season for me is coming up next month so I have to get some paint done soon. I will also have a booth set up so if you are going to be at Dundracon stop by and say hi.

Dundracon upcoming

Just uploaded Einstein shirts, and found out a lot of interesting stuff about him, and a flash game called the Quest for Einstein's Brain. I linked a lot of it so check them out. I also added the new Political and Cheap Shirts categories and uploaded shirts into them both. I will have more added by tomorrow so check it out. On a personal note, I played Warhammer the other night and the first new Skaven list I have felt was right for me fought a much tougher list to a draw. I am happy. I am getting ready for our booth at Dundracon and have hired a very beautiful girl (who is also a nerd) to help me work the booth. If you are going to Dundracon stop by and say hi. If you are interested in Dundracon check it out here http://www.dundracon.com/ . Last year some friends of mine bought booze at the hotel bar and got yelled at by one of the volunteers for having alcohol. Turns out he was grossly overstepping his authority as the booze was perfectly legal as long it was from the hotel, so four of my friends are attending free, courtesy of the volunteer, who shall remain nameless (but who strongly resembles the Travelocity Gnome)

Avatar Baby Names

Read an article today that said some parents are choosing baby names from the movie Avatar. I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, if you are going to be a nerd, don't mess around. Do it to the hilt. On the other hand, you are broadcasting to anyone who meets your child that his or her parents are nerds and for kids in school that is like blood in the water. My poor sister has a name that rhymes with many other unfortunate words and I used it to torture her incessantly. If you want to read the article I linked it to the Hangover Baby Carrier shirt I just uploaded. I also uploaded Gumby, Mr. Bill, and Felix the cat shirts. Enjoy!
