How to dunk an Oreo in milk

Olivia Munn GQ Shoot

Some people are saying that they’re not so into Olivia Munn these days, but we still find her smoking hot. What’s not to love about this proud Asian-geek-queen?

A little late on the jump here, but just in case you haven’t seen it – the Scott Pilgrim vs the World video game, I mean… you’re missing out. It captures all the feelings and emotions of when you were younger, spending your days in the arcade.

Check it out:

The “Jesus is a Jerk” meme is awesomely hilarious. People have been making their own, so we set out to find some of the funniest ones out there. STFU, Jesus!

Think we could share?

Pinup Girl Drinking a Milkshake

Perhaps one of the largest breakthroughs in drunken feasting has arrived. Deep fried beer, invented by a man in Texas named Mark Zable.

Deep fried beer, shaped like ravioli

What could taste better than beer inside of a pretzel-y dough ravioli pouch, and fried uber deeply for 20 seconds? The alcohol doesn’t burn, it just remains inside of the pouch for consumption. Mark’s cooking method apparently took him 3 years to develop, and he’s now got a patent pending on his incredibly awesome food invention.

This deep-fried beer snack will be debuted in a Texas state fair’s fried food competition late September. You need to be 21 (the legal drinking age in the states), and then you’ll be able to fork over $5USD for 5 of these beer snacks.

The main source of beer has been Guinness, because of it’s durability.

“Nobody has been able to fry a liquid before. It tastes like you took a bite of hot pretzel dough and then took a drink of beer.” – Mark Zable.

Mark has been a very clever food inventor in the past, and hopes that this will grant him some money to dedicate to his passion of inventing new foods.

We couldn’t really think of anything more clever than what he called it, but it’s absolutely perfect and completely suits him.

We love our nerd/web/video game culture, and we fully embrace it. We know you do too, that’s why you’ll love these shoes.

It’s always a sad time when an author passes on.  His friends, his family, and above all his fans come together and mourn the passing of a person who enlightened and entertained them.

Then the fans want to know when the next one is coming out. And usually there’s somebody there who will oblige them, especially if it’s a science fiction author. Here are five great authors whose series kept going on without them.

5) Chris Bunch

“Star Risk” is about a group of mercenaries tired of meddling from the Alliance, who want to strike out on their own, but can’t be too choosy about jobs. Which sounds a bit familiar:

Nah, Joss Whedon would never steal from a lesser known author...

Anyway, the Star Risk series was pretty popular, and Bunch actually had the notes for the next book completed, just he hadn’t actually written it. So Bunch’s good friend Steve Perry stepped in and finished it up. This is probably the last heart-warming tale you’ll read on this list.

4) Douglas Adams

Adams, of course, wrote the classic five-novel trilogy “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. In fact, most of his life was all about Hitchhiker’s, professionally speaking, which is a shame since the Dirk Gently books were actually pretty good. Hitchhiker’s was a radio comedy, a video game, a BBC miniseries with special effects even the ’70s “Doctor Who” would find embarrassing, and Adams was even working on the screenplay for a Hollywood movie when he unexpectedly died at age 49.

Of course, this didn’t stop the movie from happening, or the fans griping about the movie. But while the Dirk Gently series was essentially left untouched, with “The Salmon of Doubt” being unpublished, the estate actually gave the nod for Eoin Colfer, best known for a Harry Potter knock-off, the nod.

It’s not bad. But it’s no Dirk Gently.

3) Robert Jordan

Why does Robert Jordan make this list? Well, because we’re baffled he couldn’t finish this on his own.

One could make a lot of jokes about Jordan: that he got paid by the pound, for example. But we’re worried that’s true. If you get all the Wheel of Time books together, and put them on a shelf, you might not have any room on your shelf. The man wrote doorstops.

In fact, his final book is so huge that when Brandon Sanderson took it over, he realized he’d have to write two books. Two books! The Wheel of Time will be fourteen books long. Easily over fourteen thousand pages! He couldn’t have just wrapped it up in a trilogy like a normal person?

2) H. Beam Piper

The badass you see above is respected science fiction author H. Beam Piper. Piper was always kind of a weird guy; so weird people aren’t even sure what the “H.” stood for. He claimed it stood for “Horace”, but his gravestone said “Henry”. The only thing we do know about him is that his suicide led to one of the single most convoluted cases of sequelitis ever diagnosed.

Yeah, unfortunately, Piper punched his own ticket, and we’re still not sure as to why. At the time, he actually had a series of popular novels called the “Fuzzies”. Despite the title, these aren’t actually particularly cuddly books: they’re about interacting with a different species, and are actually pretty compelling; you can actually find them over at the ever-handy Gutenberg Project. But they were popular enough that not one, but TWO authors took a crack at the third one. Supposedly, he’d written the third but it wasn’t found. So William Tuning took it on, and then Ardath Mayhar (who has the single most awesome name for an SF author ever; we bet it confuses people at conventions) tried it.

And then they found the lost manuscript, and both guys had gotten it totally wrong.

Well, points for trying, anyway.

1) Frank Herbert

We could have made Frank Herbert number one just based on his epic, epic beard. Sure, Jordan’s got an epic beard too, but there’s something about Herbert’s beard that’s just…majestic.

Anyhoo, enough wool-gathering about face wool. Frank Herbert was, of course, the author of the classic “Dune” series, of four books. No, wait, the publisher talked him into doing six. But he was all done with them, right? No, wait, there was an outline for a seventh book, that got written. And then there were the two prequel trilogies. And now there are another two out filling in all the gaps between some of the books, plus another two in the pipeline, all written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, prolific hack extraordinaire.

Some people might be just a little skeptical of Brian Herbert’s motives, especially since Dune has become its own little SF franchise, with video games, comic books, and television miniseries, but no film adaptations whatsoever.

We do not speak of this!

One might think Brian Herbert might just want to keep the gravy train going, since adding to Dad’s mythology has kind of been most of his career. But that’s ridiculous. He has other novels. We’re pretty sure some of them are still in print, too. Somewhere. Hmmmm…
