That scene in Aliens where Ripley takes on the big baddie with a power loader? You can’t beat it! Unless, of course, you put it in the world of Tron. That’s when you start re-examining everything you knew about awesome.

Today Is The Day MySpace Stopped Trying To Matter

Facebook and MySpace made a joint announcement today! They will start sharing data! Huge news for two rivals, right? Except it’s pathetic. Porting info from Facebook to MySpace is the table scraps of the former spoon fed to the latter.

Gears Of Bender

At first I thought this just was pretty great Futurama/Gears of War mash-up. Then Jason told me the same guy provided the voice for both Bender and Marcus Fenix, and my world collapsed in on itself.

The Star Wars And A-Team Mashup (At Last!)

You know we love these Star Wars and old TV series intro mash-ups. You already saw Macgyver and Magnum P.I., but the trilogy wouldn’t be complete without our all-time favourite: The A-Team! Watch it and compare it to the original.

Star Wars/Macguyver Mashup Just Makes Sense

Call me crazy, but if Star Wars was a Macgyver-style drama on network TV in the 1980′s, I think it would have been an even bigger entertainment phenomenon. I mean, this is awesome. [Thanks, Audrius]
