Tomorrow! The Battlestar Galactica party hits Old City! Thrown with the awesome people at Indy Hall and The Hacktory, we’re going to have one hell of a fun, geeky time.
Starts at 5PM. Video games, trivia, screenings, BSG themed cake from Zoe Lukas of Whipped Bake Shop… things are going to be fun!
Also, this means no more BSG captioned photos!
For more information on Indy Hall and how to get there, be sure to visit their official website. We’ll see you at the party!

Seriously, Marvel vs Capcom… one of the best fighting games ever to grace the arcade and console. Period. Try to debate with me on this one, just try. You can’t, cause you’re wrong, and I’m a stubborn jerk.
Apparently, Midway is working on a Mortal Kombat vs DC. This concept is ridiculously flawed, especially if they have Superman involved. WHO is going to beat Superman? No one, that’s who. Unless Midway plans on releasing a Doomsday character on the Mortal Kombat team, I’m sorry, I just don’t see anyone being able to beat someone who is indestructible. Will every character have a piece of kryptonite?
Here’s hoping for awesome playable characters like the Green Lantern and Aquaman. And by awesome, I mean inexplicably lame.

Oh R2D2, your likeness appears on so many things. Hats, garbage cans, mailboxes in Philadelphia. And now, you’re an adorable little belt buckle.
The R2D2 buckle is officially licensed, unlike a lot of the other stuff we talk about on here, and you can buy one off Amazon for a little over $20. Tim, I think I found your wedding gift.

It’s almost here! Saturday, May 10th! The Battlestar Galactica party at Indy Hall! We’re hosting this bash with our friends at The Hacktory (what-up!) and Indy Hall (yo!).
The party starts at 5PM. We’ll play some Battlestar Galactica: The Game (on both XBox Live and the fan-made Beyond the Red Line). We know that Adama wouldn’t approve, considering both are networked, but whatever. It’s a party!
Come 7:30PM, it’ll be time for some screenings and food, including an awesome Battlestar Galactica themed cake, made by the ever talented Zoe Lukas of Whipped Bake Shop. There will also be an awesome raffle for some DVDs.
For more information on Indy Hall and how to get there, be sure to visit their official website. We’ll see you at the party!

So Bill Barmanti out in Illinois had his coffin made especially for him, custom designed to look just like a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon. He’s not on his death bed or anything, so right now he’s using the coffin as a cooler.
Regulars at Bob & Barbara’s plan to copy the coffin, served up with a sized-to-scale shot of Jim Bean, to be used as a pillow inside. (Note: this statement may or may not be true).

A new concept product over at Alaska Jewelry, with the high price tag of $760, has some serious potential to be epic and full of win. Check out these Remember Rings, which burn the hell out of your finger to remind you of an important day. Why set an alarm on your phone’s calendar, when you could sear your finger at 120 degrees?
If I was rich, I think I’d buy one of these for Tim, so he’d remember to blog more. Oooh, burn (get it?). Take that Tim.

In response to the poor service Earthlink has provided, West Philadelphians installed a giant Ethernet plug on the side of a building…
Okay, not really. That’s actually an apartment building in Chile. Sure would have been funny though.

Just look at these sweet little guys!
Photographer Trieste Visier has a whole collection of these adorable photos on her Flickr, including shots of these little budgies in the bathtub, playing piano, playing Connect Four, and way more. Such talent for macro photography. I’m blown away.
Take a look for yourself. The pictures are sure to make you smile.

That’s a screenshot I took while playing Rollercoaster Creator, my favorite new flash game that allows me to send happy carnival goers to their deaths again, and again, and again.
The game is simple, just build the roller coaster and guide the coaster along so it collects coins, advancing you to the next level. Upgrades become available, such as a loop, water slide, and more.
Enjoy, try not to get busted playing this in your cube. Thanks for the link, Neatorama.

So a dolphin got lost in the Schuylkill this past weekend, following a school of herring that was swimming up the Delaware.
You can read the whole story over at Philly.com and get your dose of snark on the subject from DMac at Philly Will Do.
