Yes, it’s that wonderful time of year when the world gets a little geekier. It’s Comic-Con!

The international convention started in 1970 and it is now the most recognized convention of it’s type with over 100,000 joining the party. It’s an awesome celebration of what we love including not only comics but films, science fiction/fantasy literature and much more.

Special guests make appearances, often by surprise, including those behind the creation of our beloved comics. Actors/Directors will show up to discuss projects and roles in films as well as sharing interesting stories and in-depth discussions on lore. The action is already underway as things kick off with preview night.

VGHS Season 2 Trailer is Here

by Leave a Comment

A while ago we mentioned that season 2 of Video Game High School (VGHS) was going to happen after raising over $800,000 in a kickstarter campaign. Now, we finally get to catch glimpse of what’s in store for season 2 in this new trailer.

Video Game High School is a series set in an alternate reality where professional video gaming becomes the biggest spectator sport in the world. It follows Brian D, an aspiring pro gamer who lands an invitation to VGHS, the most prestigious gaming academy in the world. Think Hogwarts, but instead of spells and magic wands, it’s headshots and IBM Model M keyboards!

You can catch the previous season of VHGS  along with any new content at Rocket Jump.

June 20, 2013, Instagram announced that video will now be added to the app, along with something they call Cinema. So many of us love taking pictures and sharing it on Instagram, and now we are able to record short video to share as well.

Cinema is a video stabilizing feature that was made with the help of leading Video Scientists to avoid the shakiness we all know. They demonstrated with a few clips on how running can ruin a video, but with Cinema, you can stabilize it as if it was professionally made.

How Does Superman Shave? Bill Nye Chimes In

by Leave a Comment

Gillette is running some interesting ads about how Superman shaves and they are asking many famous faces to come up with their best answer. The ads are part of a promotion for the upcoming film Superman: Man of Steel. I’m actually enjoying a lot of the responses in each video, even though I know it’s most likely going to be all about a Gillette razor. The videos are no less interesting though, especially when we get to hear Bill Nye offer up his best theory.
