The Scott Pilgrimage

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Flickr user mad5l5in5 went on a little trip around Toronto to snap photos of locations in the Scott Pilgrim series.  It’s pretty evident that at GNSU we love us some Scott Pilgrim so this is a really awesome idea.  I already bugged Brian and Arien about taking trips to some of these places when I head up North later this summer to visit so this has me extra excited.  Click the image above to take the Scott Pilgrimage photo tour.  Some thoughts and more photos after the jump.

Gabe Newell Makes Everything Better

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

The irony is that Gabe and Steam made people not want to pirate things...

We hate to go on and on about how much we love Valve and all that (can you blame us? really?) but this Fanboy’s guest strip by Ryan Cole was pretty good and killed it with an animated gif.

This seriously captures the spirit of Gaben.  I mean really – the guy is a goddamn boss.  Well, he’s quite literally the boss of Valve but I mean it in a figurative sense too.  You know, like a boss – okay, maybe that’s not the best example either. While I’m sure Gaben has no problem with turning into a jet, bombing the russians and flying into the sun,  I don’t know about crashing his car or fellating a dude he is not familiar with.  I digress, the man is simply a cool dude.  He has a great sense of humor, he is quite involved with our favorite PC titles, and he listens to the gaming community.  Honestly, I think the only thing that could have made the Kinect presentation at E3 even work was if the guy decided to appear.  Screw the Michael Jackson dance crew fiasco they bombed with, why didn’t they get Gaben?  An unforgettable mistake indeed.  Even though Nintendo stole the show according to many I think having Gabe and Kevin Butler make an appearance scored Sony major points (fyi: we think Sorcery was the shit).

So this is a virtual high five for our pal, Gabe.  If you had a reality show we’d watch the ever loving shit out of it.  For real.  Plenty of people love PA TV over at Penny Arcade so I’m SURE a Valve series would be a hit.  Or Gabe and Kevin Butler as buddy cops…

We're really torn between this and the idea of a valve reality show...
