A Spam A Day: Junk Mail Inspired Comics
As bloggers, we deal with a lot of spam mail. I’m talking spam mail of epic proportions. In our inbox and in our comments, there is really no escaping it. Just delete it, and move on.

Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find any information on this genius who has invented the 14 wheel segway, all I know, is that I want one. Imagine, cruising around on THIS thing in the Art Museum area, running over tourists and small dogs left and right.
A man can dream though.

Halo 3: The Musical?

I pulled this off last night and alas, did not receive the warm reception that this player did.

He made Rickrolls.
They look tasty, and feature the iconic face of 80’s star Rick Astley, who is once again famous due to the rick-rolling internet meme.

Blizzard Denies Uwe Boll Rights to World of Warcraft Movie: Thank God
Uwe Boll makes some crappy movies. Seriously. Alone in the Dark, Bloodrayne, the completely neccesary Bloodrayne II, In The Name of the King, House of the Dead… the list goes on. Soon he’ll be destroying Far Cry on the screen. When he set his untalented eyes on World of Warcraft, Blizzard thankfully said no.

The funny thing was that it was being actively stalked by their [...]
