I Need This Picture Framed Somewhere is a post from: Geeky Gamer Girls

Every Wednesday I will showcase some of my favorite webcomics. I do the searching so you can do the laughing!

In honor of my first Webcomic Wednesday post, I want to introduce to you some charming guys and the great comics they create. I had the pleasure of meeting these folks at Topatoco’s party (held at Arcane Comics) before ECCC, and they’re amazing! This is a jumbo post featuring multiple comics, so most of the information will be beyond the cut.

Click on the picture (or the more button) for more information on the artists and their comics.


First up (from left to right), we have Bill Barnes, Christopher Hastings, Chris Hallbeck, and Brad Guigar. These guys are hilarious and extremely talented.

Bill Barnes is the co-creator of Unshelved and Not Invented Here on books and software development, respectively.

Christopher Hastings is the creator Dr. McNinja, who is in fact a Doctor and a Ninja, and his comic gets big props from me almost entirely for his use of Ben Franklin.

Chris Hallbeck is the writer and artist of Book of Biff. The best way I can describe the comic is of men with large, thin eyebrows doing seemingly random and awesome things.

Brad Guigar creates three comics, one of which is Evil Inc and is Editor-In-Chief for Webcomics.com

Here I am with Scott Kurtz of PvP. Apparently he’ll also be at PAX East, so I’ll have to keep an eye out for him! (Plus, he mentioned Geek Chic’s Emissary Table in today’s comic, and I am absolutely in love with their tables. Major kudos to him for that!)

And finally we have myself with the entertainment for the night: Tweet Me Harder’s David Malki and Kris Straub!

Kris makes comics Starslip and Chainsawsuit while David creates Wondermark, a comic I discovered that night and purchased at ECCC later that weekend.

Their show is also hilarious. Once that show goes on their website, I’ll let you know. You’ll even be able to listen for me during the trivia section! (where I embarrassingly and incorrectly answer questions that you can’t even technically get wrong.)

This should be enough to get you started on your webcomic exploration. Have fun!

Gears of War 3 is rumored to be coming April 2011 with the first teaser trailer to be released as early as next month. Do we believe our ears? This information comes from a “trusted US publishing source” from Edge. The game also is rumored to have a full reveal at E3 in June.

“Microsoft’s keen to avoid a clash with Halo: Reach and wants Natal to own Christmas. That’s why we won’t be seeing Gears of War 3 until next year, but expect a major marketing push ahead of its release,” the source said. Via IGN

The wait for Gears of War 3 might be a lot shorter than we thought! But it depends if this source is legitimate and not lying to us. They should know that I’ve killed people for less! DONT TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS YOU FOOL! YOU EVIL SOURCE-…RER! Hah! See what I did there?! ehhh? EHH? I’m so cool…. *worried smile*

I would try ChatRoulette just for the chance to meet this man; if only there weren’t the threat of inappropriate people doing inappropriate things everywhere.

Can’t we all be sweet and clean and funny like this guy? I think ChatRoulette should just be a giant, awesome talent show.

And for those living under a rock (without internet access), ChatRoulette is a site that will automatically connect you with another stranger with a webcam. You can talk with mics or with their “chat” system, and anytime you’re done with a person you can click “Next” to find someone new.

You can find a video here that gives you a great (and artistic) introduction.

So you live in a small town and have been noticing some crop circles popping up in your farm. What do you do?

According to this chart, you should start brushing up on your math.

Take a look at the image that will help you prepare for the moment that you first contact aliens. It’s actually surprisingly informative and full of real-life, useful information that will make the whole abduction thing way less awkward.

Ewww this stand gives me the heebie jeebies. The legs are hugging it! Gross! I wouldn’t want to pick up my Ipod at all! “No, YOU pick it up! NO YOU pick it UP! NO YOU!”

Breffo – Spiderpodium £14.99 Available March 29, 2010

The Spiderpodium is a stand for your MP3 player, iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, camera or any other kind of portable pocket device. It also shows off to everyone that your not afraid of spiders. Well… that is, until a real one crawls near you. Then you shriek in panic like a middle aged school girl and jump into your co-worker Pam’s frail arms which snaps her pencil width legs right in half and bruises your preciously sensitive tale bone! “COOOOL DUDE… WAY TO PLAY IT OFFFFF!!! I THOUGHT YOU WEREN’T AFRAID OF SPIDERS!”

…Pam is 74 years old, what did you expect her to do? Carry you like a Spartan?!“

Every Monday I’ll take a look at some fun movie-related things. I’ll fill you in on movies being made, and what I’m excited to see in the theaters/on dvd. You’ll also get a fun short film of the week!

First off, I went to a great panel at ECCC on upcoming films. Hosted by Gareth Von Kallenbach, creator of Skewed and Reviewed, I learned that almost every sci-fi/horror film this decade is going to be made in 3D. Don’t believe me? Take a look at this list.
Movies that are rumored to be made in 3D:

Amityville Horror
Jeepers Creepers
Clash of the Titans
Friday the 13th 2
Green Lantern
Halloween 3
Harry Potter
The Hobbit
Jeepers Creepers
Night of the Creeps
Nightmare on Elm Street 2
Resident Evil 4
Saw 7
Tron Legacy
Transformers 3
Zombieland sequel

What do you think of the 3D trend? Is it here to stay? And does it add anything to the film? I don’t know about you, but I’m psyched to hear more about the Zombieland sequel. And if you like zombies, you’ll love this week’s dvd pick!

DVD Pick:

Dead Snow

I saw Dead Snow at SIFF last year, and it was a blast. This movie, about a group of young adults who get trapped up in a mountain cabin with Nazi Zombies (yes, you read that right), is violent, funny, and everything you need in a Zombie film. A couple disclaimers: This one isn’t for the youngins. There’s blood, guts, and sexual situations that might make kids squirm. Also, the film is foreign, which means it has subtitles. I saw a midnight screening and it didn’t bother me, but it’s better to know going in.

Coming Soon:

Predators

Predators is a gory, action-packed “reboot” of the Predator film franchise and is starring Adrien Brody. He is one of my all-time favorite actors and can be seen in films such as The Jacket (such a good film!) and The Village (which I actually really liked. Even though no one else did). Check out behind the scenes info on their website, and check back their on the 18th for the trailer!

Short Film of the Week:

Finally, I’d like to leave you with a fun short film. “Alma” was one of my favorite films of Seattle’s Sci-Fi and Fantasy Film Festival. It seems like a cute film about a girl and a doll store, but quickly takes a darker turn. It’s only a little over 5 minutes long, but you will love it!

Emerald City Comic Con Was Amazing! is a post from: Geeky Gamer Girls

Some of you folks have frequently been asking me questions about my Xbox live account so I just want to answer all your questions in a post and give you answers in the easiest way I can.

‘Why haven’t you accepted my friend request?’

The max friend limit is 100 and it’s not fair to accept certain people and not others. I have in the past deleted my friends lists daily, but a lot of people took offense to this after I removed them. Like I said before, it is all in good fun and I don’t want to offend anyone. I LOVE YOU GUYS and I WANT to play with everyone! Thats why I only accept game invites until someday when I’m able to come up with a better solution. (FYI: I DO accept a select few friend requests, people who have done something amazing or the funniest of all funny people.. so accepting FR’s is not out of question, it’s just rare.)

‘Why are you not on Xbox Live all the time?

Firstly- I am a human with a job, a blog, a family, a puppy and some imaginary friends. I  have to balance my schedule and I play whenever I have leisure time, but like any normal person, I’m very busy some days/weeks.

Secondly – I have 3 different Gamer Tags. ‘Why?’ you ask?

• One of them is my old one, PUNXSUTAWNEY PA which still exists for only one reason: I have unused Microsoft Points that I don’t want going to waste. Eventually, after I use them all up, I will delete this account.
• My public gamer tag, ZAXY DOT COM, is exclusively used for playing with you guys and getting to know you all.
• My other Gamer Tag is top secret. I wont reveal this GT to the public so that people don’t invite me to play games like Modern Warfare 2 while I’m super into playing Mass Effect 2, thus resulting in people getting bitter or upset thinking that I’m refusing to play with them. It’s all just in good fun you guys, I don’t want to offend anyone or hurt people’s feelings! Sometimes I just want to have a good ol’ time playing games by myself! Another reason it’s private is because I don’t want everyone to see everything I’m doing all the time. For instance: What if I want to watch a movie like ‘Brokeback Mountain’ on NetFlix? (ITS A GOOD MOVIE! SHUT UP!) It’s all just a matter of having privacy and playing for fun.

‘What games do you have?’

It feels like I have more games that I want to play than I actually have the time for. With all the crazy amount of games coming out recently, it’s been hard trying to keep up. (I know a lot of you feel the same way) But just fyi, I have a lot and am not limited to just the basic Halo and COD collections.

‘What games do you play on ZAXY DOT COM?’

I choose to play games like Halo 3 & MW2 because most people have these games, the matches are shorter and they are better for chatting during gameplay. The whole point of my GT ZAXY DOT COM is so I can play with you guys and get to know everyone! I love you all, why wouldn’t I want to play social games with you guys!

So anyways, I hope that clears a lot of confusion! If you guys have any questions, make sure you post your question on here or via twitter @ZaxyDotCom! LOVE YOU ALL!
