Brad Neely

Brad Neely is one of my favorite comic artists. He's done three series of online video comics along with a large collection of still frames, and also wrote and performed his alternate soundtrack for the film version of "Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone," entitled "Wizard People, Dear Reader." Watching "Wizard People" is one of the first times I ever actually literally almost pooped myself laughing, and I think the whole idea is genius. Basically someone can download or buy a copy of the soundtrack, procure the movie, and replace the sound of the movie with his sound (it is recorded as a "book on tape," in his words). My favorite series of comics he's done is "Professor Brothers," a comic about two professor's at a community college who are brothers, and act as the entirety of the history department. "Baby Cakes" features the diary entries of a "30 year-old playboy man-baby," and "China, Illinois" is his series which combined plotlines of its priors. I'm posting some of my personal favorites of his, as well as his Wikipedia page and an interview with him. Much of this is not entirely tailored to a conservative crowd, just so you know, but I was wondering what you guys think.

In honor of...

Bioshock 2 being out in most states of the continental U.S. right now, check out this uber creepy cinematic from the first game. Yes, I'm a bit of a nerd. I haven't actually even beaten Bioshock (1. I don't have a 360 2. It's terrifying), but the game is REALLY well made. All of the parts fit together extremely well... Great Storyline? Check. Fitting soundtrack? Check. Demolished dream of a once-beautiful city morphing into a crumbling, horror-filled hell? CHECK. AWESOME.


Are You the Favorite Person of Anybody?

This breaks my heart every time I see it.



Keyboard Cat

Many of you may have already seen these videos, but my friend just showed them to me for the first time last night and I honestly couldn't stop laughing for a good ten minutes. They are video compilations of people failing (falling down, or getting rejected while proposing, etc.) and then getting played 'off stage' by the keyboard cat, a video originally created by Charlie Schmidt. I don't know why, but the joke never gets old, and the absurdness of the cat just adds to the hilariousness of the fail. Enjoy!

Fever

Not only an excellent music video, but an excellent song.


I told a friend how I'm feeling and this made her sad

'Cause she fears that no man will ever desire her so bad.

How dare I feel this and do naught but sit on my hands.



Toxic Love

Proof we love to scare kids in children's movies.
