Pizzacast! 13 - Quantity Over Quality

Hey folks, we're back for another Pizzacast! This week, we're missing a third of the hosts (Which one? Guess you'll have to find out!) and about half the energy, but we do dive into topics such as Iron Man 3 and Amazing Spider-Man 2 news, a Fionna and Cake miniseries from KaBoom!, the Joe Shuster/Superman copyright issue, and more!

Friday Clip-Show: The OSU Marching Band Takes On Video Games [Video]

As a denizen of the great state of Ohio, I have known for years that the Ohio State University Marching Band  has the moniker of being "The Best Damn Band in the Land." While I've never disputed this claim, the special halftime show they put on during the Oct. 6th game versus Nebraska absolutely blew me away. If you're a fan of video game themes, both new and classic, a fan of marching bands, or anywhere in between, you gotta check this out!

Armor Up for the Iron Man 3 Trailer!

The Iron Man 3 trailer is here and it looks really good. The Avengers apparently left Tony a little messed up and this movie seems to have a darker tone than the others.  I don't even know what else to say because you need to watch it for yourself!! Watch the awesomeness after the jump!

Pizzacast! 12 - SHAZAM!'s Stupid Boots

Two Pizzacast!s in one week?!? MADDNESS! This week, on a slightly more up-to-date episode, our hostful hosts discuss topics such as Studio 35's Bad Movie Night (again), Wizard World Columbus Comic Con, Nerd Night, a bevy of new items, and then debut quite possibly the best third break segment ever concocted, simply titled Ask PXT.

Friday Clip-Show: Gravity Falls by Adam Warrock [Music]

 



Lately, there have been two bits of geek culture that I haven't been able to get enough of, namely newer cartoon series that are, in theory, for kids but appeal to an older crowd (Adventure Time, Regular Show, etc), and nerdcore rap, oddly enough. So when I heard the new Gravity Falls-inspired track by Adam Warrock , I had to share it.

Mighty Marvel Movie Rumor Roundup! [News]

Following the recent Marvel Studios TV news, here's a quick collection of Marvel movie rumors.

Cowabunga! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles LEGO Sets Are Coming Soon (Ish)! [News]

In much cooler news, check this stuff out!  Lego is jumping on the TMNT train and bringing the world Turtles Lego sets!  This is truly something eight year old me would of went nuts over, combining two things I loved in one package.  Peep on some images of building toy meets Ninja Turtle in the gallery after the jump!

Agent Coulson LIVES! (And Set to Star in 'S.H.E.I.L.D.' TV Series) [News]

That's right! Everyone's favorite secret agent/Captain America fanboy, Agent Coulson, will be coming back to star in ABC's S.H.I.E.L.D. television series. Why is this such a big deal, you ask? Take the jump to find out! (WARNING: Spoilers for a year-old movie EVERYONE should have seen by now abound.)

AAUGH! Charlie Brown, Peanuts Gang Headed to Big Screen [News]

Hey, remember how much you loved the Peanuts gang, and all the great stuff they came along with it? Like Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown and all the other great specials and the continuous repeats of the original Charles Schulz strip still running in your local paper, itself its own timeless self contained world where Schulz' genius remains untouched to this day?  Well it's likely the guy that brought the world Ice Age: Continental Drift is about to shit all over it.

Pizzacast! 11 - You Know What You're In For... Here It Comes

HEY LOOK! IT'S A NEW PIZZACAST! This week (while simultaneously also a month ago), the 'Generals of Geek' take a few minutes to discuss topics such as the new Wii U, some Marvel NOW! titles, the horrible possibility of Space Jam II, the Robocop reboot costume, and more!

The music for this week is by the artist known as Kreayshawn. I'm sorry.

It Was Only A Matter of Time: PETA Takes on Pokémon

Yup, they did it.  PETA, the real life Team Plasma, has finally went and parodied Pokémon, everyone's favorite monster cockfighting simulator.  While it makes more sense then their Super Tanooki whatever game did, it's kind of a leap to protest the abuse of fictional animals.  But it's PETA, so I guess expecting it to make sense is kind of a stretch.

The Crossover No One Wanted: Angry Birds and Star Wars?

Rovio (the Angry Birds) people launched a new Angry Birds tumblr today, on which this image surfaced.  I think only one quote can really sum this up:

 I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Terrible indeed.  I'd been playing Rovio's Bad Piggies (for a review, coming soon) and enjoying it quite a bit, thinking "Maybe Rovio ain't so bad".  Guess I was wrong.  Still though, not the worst video game-related thing to happen to Star Wars in recent memory...

Spooky Games of Scary Terror: the white chamber

Hey PXTers! Everybody knows October is by far the scariest month of the year (what with Halloween and all), so I figured why not spotlight a bunch of scary games all throughout the month?  Games have an incredible capacity to fighten, startle, and all around jibbly-ify their players, even more so than movies when done correctly, so really the best way to scare the poop out of yourself this Halloween season than playing a bunch of Spooky Games of Scary Terror?  I'm going to try to focus on some lesser known games too, because nobody needs to read about Silent Hill for the thousandth time.  I'm going to assume you've already played (or know about) Silent Hill... or Resident Evil, or whatever mainstream horror games are out there.  Rule #2 is no Slender Man. Seriously, I'm sick of that guy.  Well let's get to the meat of this thing, shall we?

Namco Wants YOU to Decide Pac-Man's New Look
