Kyle’s On Two Schooners!

March 6th, 2010 by Kyle

Geek Tragedy’s very own cohost Kyle just made a guest appearance on the Two Schooners Podcast! Originating from the wilds of the Australian outback, Two Schooners is hosted by professional Captain Picard imitator James Williams and five-time Australian National Kangaroo Wrestling champion Dave Gray. They run a funny and very random podcast on all things “bonzer”.

If you haven’t listened to them before, this is a good excuse for starting! Kyle will be appearing on Episode 35, set for release on March 6th! Check it out at this link!

Next week’s entry in our continuing interview series will be an interview with the director and costar of the full-length fan-made parody film Star Wreck: In The Pirkinning, Timo Vuorensola. If you haven’t yet seen Star Wreck, go check out the trailer on YouTube, then download the movie (yes, it’s a legal download) and watch! We’ve been telling you about this movie for a long time now, and if you still haven’t seen it, this is definitely the time!

Timo talked with us about Star Wreck, crowdsourced filmmaking, the future of independent content producers, and about his upcoming project, Iron Sky. A full-length movie about Nazis in space – how can you go wrong with an idea like that?

Holy shmoley! It’s really real!!!

February 24th, 2010 by Dave

Just found this on TechEBlog….

I'm afraid the Death Star is quite operational...

So, the 501st are really advance troops sent here to lul us into a false sense of security that anyone in a stormtrooper outfit is a harmless fanboy. Where the heck do i go to join the Rebellion and get X-Wing flight training?

Actually, this is an awesome pic of Mimas, one of the moons of Saturn, as snapped by the Cassini probe. That big crater is 88 miles wide. Still doesn’t take away from the awesome factor, though.
