Fiction? Almost.

It's always nice to play a game or watch a movie and see a place that is beyond creepy as hell. If there's anything better than that, it may be the fact that some of these settings are actually based on real places. Cracked.com tells us about 6 Fictional Places You Didn't Know Actually Existed, including Arkham Asylum, Middle Earth, and Silent Hill. I know what you're thinking: finally a place to do all those movie scene re-enactments. Just watch out for monsters.

Introducing Eyemail: Next up, Mom's Eyephone

Now scientists are working on a contact lens that allows you to have your email sent directly to your eyeball. Not even joking. Didn't these guys SEE that Futurama episode? I know how this goes. First you're enjoying an overly internet-connected life, then you're a zombie. Well, at least they're only making zombie rabbits so far. I kinda want one of those. And a chocolate zombie bunny. Those things look tasty.

Oh shoot! It's Halloween already?! I haven't bought my Christmas decorations yet!

I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but hell, if my grocery store is already decked to the rooftops with winter holiday holly, then I Like to Geek might as well join in. Neatoshop has once again made me happy with its geekiness by selling a Yoda tree topper, complete with an LED lightsaber. Who else would I want guarding my tree and presents? Okay...maybe Vader would be a good choice too. He'd keep all those darn kids from stealing my candy...force push!

William Shatner Covers Bohemian Rhapsody

Holy shhhhh-- (watch the video and you'll know what I'm talking about). Yes, Shatner's done it again! No, it's not Rocketman, this time he's tackling an iconic Queen song, Bohemian Rhapsody.

I have to say, this video left me in tears after about the third verse with the sing-along lyrics. So, enjoy yourself. This video is crazy!

MUST TRY: Quantum Levitation

The only thing that would have made this demonstration of quantum levitation MUCH cooler would have been a little cut-out of Marty Mcfly on that disc as it raced around the track.

Seems like a pretty creative sales technique to me. Go Ace Hardware!

George C Scott watches Star Wars on Blu-ray

The Explanation Behind Obi-Wan's New Call

 I'm back, kids. Yeah, yeah, you missed me SO much, I know. I can tell. The love is just radiating right through my browser. Hm, that might just be some form of deadly radiation, actually. Well, I'll believe it's love.

Anyway, I thought I'd share this piece of art. This video gave me high hopes of being totally entertained when the Blu-ray comes out, because hell, this is LMFAO hilarious, and I'm sure the millions of youtube comedians out there will continue to crank these out for years to come.

Anyway, if you're really bored and want to hear me complain/talk about all the cool stuff I was IN THE MIDDLE OF POSTING when the blackout killed my beloved computer (RIP, Barbarous Roman the Third), go to the jump.

The Five Stages of Star Wars Revisionism Fan Grief

You know we've been bitching about the changes on the new Blu-ray version, and frankly, I think V+ and I will probably make a lot of fun of them when we are forced to watch them out of morbid curiosity. I think that would indicate we at I Like to Geek are only just at the bargaining stage. I can't promise we'll get past that for a long while though.

Skrillex Looks Like Corey Feldman...

Not sure how many of our readers are a liking the dubstepping but, this video by Skrillex sure takes the cake for freaky ish (radio edit).

New Footage Surfaces! WWZ

For those of you who don't know, I am one of the worlds greatest zombie experts and yes, I have a plan for the apocalypse. And no, it doesn't involve Costco like 99% of your plans. This video above is an incognito video shot of the up and coming movie World War Z (zombie). 

Virgin Zoidberg Tat

No words. Just a moment of silence...and the lingering thought...will he/she regret this tattoo 30 years from now when the show is but a distant memory?

A Piece of History: The First 3D Digital Film

40 Year Old 3D Computer Graphics (Pixar, 1972) from Robby Ingebretsen on Vimeo.

According to Open Culture, this video began what some of us might recognize as modern techniques for creating CG life on the big screen. This film showcases the making of a hand which looks undeniably like a disembodied clip of a 3rd generation Sim performing various hand movements. Considering this is a video from 1972, that's pretty impressive.

NSFW- Let Our Powers Combine!

This I used to watch this epic adventure as a cartoon when I was a kid. I do believe that the guys over at Funny or Die have made it better. I mean really, what would happen if Captain Planet became "over it." More plus a (kinda nsfw, due to cussing) video after the jump.

A Letter to the Aliens!

I find this video 100% awesome! I love how Hank dumb's down the key parts of life. And now, that I think about this, this should be removed from the internet, RIGHT NOW! As soon as we are invaded all they will have to do is watch this video and know how to take us over!

Sci-fi in RL: Live Heart in a Box Makes for More Successful Transplants

Geeks are Sexy posted an article today about a new ground-breaking method of organ transplantation-- keeping the organ (such as a heart) functioning while in transport. Compared to the method of packing the organ in ice in coolers during transit, this will allow for better matching of organs to patients, and therefore less chance rejection.

TODAY: DC Relaunch

Well, if Lumberjack Films say it's going to be okay, then it must be! Then again, that's what people have been saying about Anne Hathaway playing Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises, but I still have my doubts. She may look smokin' hot in that one picture, but it's going to take more than a mouthful of drool to win me over. As for this video, they lost my faith when they said Aquaman was going to be cool. Seriously?

Dear God, Why Did I Just Watch That: Foo Fighters Show Booties in New Video

Pluck out my eyes, oh merciful God!!

I knew it was going to be bad, but not THAT bad. There was jiggling and nipple-rubbing...and now I just feel the kind of dirty where even diving into an active volcano wouldn't clean me. The Foo Fighters got buck naked in a new video, and for some reason I watched the uncensored version.

Blast to the Future-Past: Coattails and Gigantic Scary Hats

Who doesn't see this view on an average day? (Via Flickr)

Now that it's 2011, I thought it would be nice to look at the past decade's wonderful inventions and celebrations, such as our individual blimps and world-encompassing coasters that carry us quickly and safely to our destinations. Also, let's not forget those crazy flower festivals where we all get plastered and try to knock eachother off our car-planes with handfuls of petals while dressed as flashy deep-sea divers.
