There was once a time when the world seemed more just. Kids played outside, the streets were clean, and the Akira live-action adaptation that Warner Bros. has been trying to force down our throats seemed dead in the water. That time is over.

Sure, Joel McHale’s Jeff Winger is the perfect protagonist for Community, and Danny Pudi and Donald Glover as Abed and Troy are simply the best, but it’s Jim Rash’s Dean Pelton that really holds the whole thing together for me. That’s why this faux recruitment video for Greendale Community College is so very good.

How much do you actually know about owls? If I had to guess, I’d say not enough. Thankfully, Ze Frank has once again provided. All of the facts in this video at definitely and totally true, especially the part where he says, and I’m paraphrasing here, that if an owl’s stealth were loudness, it’d be the loudest of the birds.

Sharknado, produced by The Asylum for Syfy, was a ratings bomb, but did incredibly well on social media. Even so, there’s a sequel coming. As further proof that none can escape the, er, “sharknado,” it’s been revealed that the movie will come to theaters in August. Yeah, that’s happening.

Two days ago, Erik Chevalier of the Forking Path announced that he has cancelled the Kickstarter to produce The Doom That Came To Atlantic City, a board game designed by Lee Moyer and Keith Baker, which is to say, me. When Lee and I first heard this news from Erik, it came as a shock. We’ve been working on this game for over a decade. In 2011 we had it ready to go to the printer with Z-Man Games, until a change in ownership dropped it from production. Based on the information we’d been receiving from the Forking Path we believed that the game was in production. It’s a personal and financial blow to both of us, but what concerns Lee and I is that people who believed in our work and put their faith in this Kickstarter have been let down.

As you may or may not be aware, Digg founder Kevin Rose made waves on the Internet over the past couple days by posting a security video where, in an effort to save his dog Toaster, he tossed a raccoon down a flight of stairs. Part of this interest comes from the inevitable group calling his actions “animal abuse,” but the other segment of viewers are surely tuning in simply because, well, it’s Rose tossing a raccoon. It’s with this in mind that we present a polite discussion on how to properly throw a raccoon.
