ROFLCon kicks off Tomorrow

The guest list really is a who’s who of Internet fame and/or ignominy. Amplifier’s own Joel Bush will be there to hopefully document the event. We gave him a great video camera so honestly, he’s without excuse!

Rooster Teeth’s New “Red vs. Blue” Boxed Set

You can say many things about the gang at Rooster Teeth. They own their medium. They’re funny. They’re continuously experimenting with new forms and permutations (Grifball!) And many more.

But they’re also just overkillers in the best way. They invest their DVDs not only with the classic Red vs Blue content, but with so much of the unrelenting absurdity that is their signature. So when they release the DVD BOXED SET of ALL 5 Seasons of RVB on 5 DVDs at $69, you’re already getting an enormous value. (The DVDs individually retail for $20) And each of those DVDs were packed with all the outtakes, missing scenes, bonus foo and so on.

But with this new boxed set they’ve now created 2 MORE hours of behind the scenes material, “making of” documentaries and all sorts of other stuff. So six DVDs for seventy bucks, it’s like $50 off. Plus you get the awesome black/blue and red all over double-box to carry them in.

We hope to have a more extensive writeup soon.  (we still have to watch through all this stuff!)

Undies Remember Gary Gygax (1938-2008)

The death of Dungeons & Dragons creator Gary Gygax earlier this week wasn’t just a loss for gamers and fantasy fans, but for creative types and undependents all over the world. Some of the web’s best and brightest undependents have been remembering the role-playing game titan as only they can.

Halloween Freak-Out!

posted by rstevens on October 29th, 2007

I awoke this morning and realized it’s practically November! This stupid warm October tricked me. We’re about three weeks from the beginning of the Christmas rush and I need more space for the new shirts I’m working on.

Let’s do free shipping in the USA & Canada and $5 shipping per shirt internationally on all DS t-shirts until the stroke of midnight on 11/1. This will also be the last week to get your hands on Pixel Communism and the current edition of the CRUSH ALL HU-MANS! shirts.

Btw, Richard, I think they also might have tricked us all by moving the whole Daylight Savings Time thing back a little bit. Doesn’t the time change usually happen earlier? It seems like night starts falling at 4 or 5 p.m. again by mid-October, not this new November turn. I’m sure Alex Jones has his theories as to what is really going on with this manipulation of our calendar. If you know the latest from Prison Planet, please feel free to share.
