  • Gift Ideas: Y: The Last Man

    Gift ideas for those who love Sci-Fi and don’t know what to give their friend who don’t love Sci-Fi as much. Yes, this is pretty much a pimp and filler post. LOL, but just putting this out there.

    My story with Y: The Last Man is a bit curious. I’m not a person that is used to reading comics (or manga) – it was never my thing. I have bought the seldom Buffy comic (prior to Season 8) but just because it was Buffy. It was a chore when, my then roommate told me to read Y: The Last Man. Why? Because he made me do it. He had bought like 6 Volumes of it, and I began to read. I was surprisingly hooked.

    It is that good. You don’t need to love comics or sci-fi to get hooked.

    Yes, it’s about a guy that ends up being the only man left on earth after a mysterious global blood-burst episode. Yes, there’s a lot of women… and some of them are crazy, but it’s still good.

    Y: The Last Man – 10 Volume List

    I read somewhere online that they were planning a movie of it, and Shia (yes, that Shia) was rumored to be Yorick. Please, no. Please, be original. Don’t give the dude one more franchise… of sorts.

    There’s also a fancy “deluxe” version of the first 3 volumes…

    Yes, you can buy these if you’re trying to get someone to like Sci-Fi.
    Trust. It worked on me. Also… buy them for me? Ha!

  • Rocko’s Modern Life – Non-Official Release Vs. Torrents

    I received a notification on my email that Amazon was going to begin selling The Best of Rocko’s Modern Life: Volume 3 this week. First of all, I wasn’t aware that Volume 1 and Volume 2 were on the market. Then I read properly. It’s not an official release! It’s on DVD-R, so they won’t play on many DVD players. And they’re edited! And you gotta pay over $20USD for those volumes.

    So that’s about $60 for just three volumes.
    The Best of Rocko’s Modern Life – Volume 1
    The Best of Rocko’s Modern Life – Volume 2
    The Best of Rocko’s Modern Life Volume 3 (2 Disc set)

    Now, is that fair? As a consumer, and as a fan of the show?

    No, I don’t think so.

    So this is a link to the complete 4 seasons of Rocko’s Modern Life.

  • The Library of Congress Photochrom Travel

    The Library of Congress has colorized a bunch of B&W photos, which make them look completely kick-ass. Honestly, just sit back, hit on the “Slideshow” link and watch on fullscreen.

    On what is a Photochrom~

    Published primarily from the 1890s to 1910s, these prints were created by the Photoglob Company in Zürich, Switzerland, and the Detroit Publishing Company in Michigan. The richly colored images look like photographs but are actually ink-based photolithographs, usually 6.5 x 9 inches.

    Like postcards, the photochroms feature subjects that appeal to travelers, including landscapes, architecture, street scenes, and daily life and culture. The prints were sold as souvenirs and often collected in albums or framed for display.

    Check out the complete set here.
