Browncoats, get ready: On May 25th you’ll be spending your day reading.

There’s a Firefly book coming. But not just any book. Sure, it has production stills, behind the scene photos, memories from the cast and crew, and a tribute to its fans. But it also has something we’ve all been waiting for: New stories from the writers. It’s like fan fic… but written by people who know how.

I’m particularly excited for “Fun With Dick and Jayne”, written by Bed Edlund.

Have you pre-ordered your copy of Firefly: Still Flying yet?

Because you’re sick of your fake bear skin that you got last year, you hipster! Jokes.
Apparently these bad boys don’t come out until August 25th but that won’t stop me! I want a Wampa Rug from ThinkGeek.com and I want one naoooooooow! Hmph. By the way, anyone want a golden goose egg?! I got a million of these things and I’m sick of ‘em.

Wampa Rug – $99 (Available August 25th!)

Thanks to God of War III, my need to purchase a Blu-Ray player and now with Little Big Planet 2 coming out, I’ve officially been sold on buying a PS3.

Little Big Planet 2, set to come out in Winter 2010, will. be. mine.

This is holy grail of all the Star Wars posters. It combines the bad assness of every movie into one gigantic cluster of awesome. For the remainder of Star Wars Day, it is highly recommended that your wallpaper be set to this or any other Star Wars themed desktop background to honor the greatest saga of all time. Thanks. That is all.

[Thanks to Drew, who has his desktop background set to Jar Jar Binks smiling.]

Free Comic Book Day is coming up this Saturday, and I am celebrating by sharing some of my favorite comics this week!
Take a look at yesterday’s post on Spell Checkers,
Wednesday’s post on Night Zero,
Or Tuesday’s post on Demo.

Today I’ll be taking a look at some potential comics I can’t wait to check out. I’ll probably be buying a couple of these tomorrow!

The Guild

Everyone’s favorite web series now has an origin story! I’m excited to see these characters in a new medium for their 3-part miniseries. (Issues 1 and 2 are currently out).

Locke and Key

Kenneth and Daniel recommended this over on our Facebook page, and I trust my Zaxyers. I’ll be looking for the 1st issue to pick up tomorrow! Locke and Key is apparently a horror style comic, and that intrigues me.

Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis

The title and image should be enough. I saw this in a bookstore but didn’t have the chance to pick it up. We all know I love Futurama, and this looks like so much fun.
Let’s just say Lisa serenades Fry with her sax, but it can’t compare to Fry’s performance on the Holophonor…

Did these comics pique your interest? Then join me at Free Comic Book Day! Take a look for the nearest store to you.

If you’re in the Seattle area, join me at Comics Dungeon in Wallingford at noon. We’ll pick out our comics, browse the store, and get some photos taken with StormTroopers! After that, join me across the street for some Dick’s burgers and milkshakes. Yum! Comics and burgers, I can’t wait! You can get more information on the specials Comics Dungeon will have going on this weekend on their Facebook event page.

Will I see you there?

Before you shower, next time ask yourself  “Do I want just a shower? Or do I want to bathe myself in the force with the Rebel & Empire alliance?” That should be a sexy time! ……With yourself. *awkward* DID I MENTION THEY HAVE SNES CARTRIDGE BAR SOAP?!

GEEKSOAP’s Snes 16-bit Game Cartridge Soap – $6.50

Thanks to Droo, who is too cool to spell his name normally with the letters “EW.”

The only thing that makes me tear up more than Scott Stapp’s emotional performance of the National Anthem at the 2010 Marlin’s game, is the amazing voice of Master Chief, singing “One More Snipe.”

With hits like ‘Bulltrue Colors,’ ‘Against All Oddballs,’ and ‘K-k-killing Spree,’ who needs artists like Josh Groban or Andrea Boccelli anymore when you have the smash hits of ‘Master Chief SINGS!’

Aside from being the most awesome customization I’ve ever seen on an Xbox 360, this console marks the one millionth Xbox sold in Australia and New Zealand. Richard Taylor from Weta Workshop sold the one-of-a-kind Master Chief Xbox on Ebay for charity. Microsoft being the nice ol’ lads they are, matched the final bid and donated an extra $10,000 to Cure Kids. Awe, how sweet.

So normally, it’s hard to give movie tie-in’s any kind of consideration, being that they’re usually just a sad excuse to make an extra dollar. However, the Toy Story 3 video game trailer actually looks GOOD.

When I said good, I meant feed your ADHD fix and relive your childhood memories kind of good. What.. not everything has to be all PWNing n00bz & tea-bagging your mom, you 1337tards! Grow up before I fill up your message box with nonstop screaming & profanities, stupid l0zarz!

But seriously, does this look like a blast-and-a-half for a movie-made game or what? I’m actually excited for it!
