NA JANITORS PROMO

Everything’s Better in Space – Even Cleaning.

The comedy/sci-fi web series Space Janitors returned April 2 with Season 2.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a pair of blue-collar janitors battled Imperial grime, with only a sonic mop and a bottle of glass cleaner to see them through! And as of April 2, Canadian-based Space Janitors started their second season of sci-fi comedy, bringing us back in the fight to find our anti-heroes still alive.

Needless to say, if you’re a fan of Star Wars, this is a web series you should have your eye on. It follows Mike Chet (Pat Thornton) and Darby Richards (Brendan Halloran), two janitors aboard a massive space station, and their friends, computer psychologist Edith Kingpin (Evany Rosen), android LN6-K (Tess Degenstein), and Dennis (Scott Yamamura), one of the 10,000 identical, cloned squall troopers aboard the station.

The short episodes follow their hi-jinks aboard the station, an every-man amidst the war, and are rife with deadpan nerd humour. Hat tips to a variety of sci-fi shows and genres are found in each episode, which run 4-8 minutes each Set and costume design are endearingly campy, and comedic delivery is spot-on, which may be unsurprising given the background in comedy both the creators (Davin Lengyel and Geoff Lapaire) and actors themselves have. Imagine my delight at a cameo from Chris Gibbs in Season 1, an actor and improviser who has toured the Canadian Fringe Festival circuit and is on my ‘go to’ list for comedy whenever he’s in my home city.

While I might have a soft spot for home-grown humour, this Canuck would recommend Space Janitors to any sci-fi savy serah looking for a laugh. I was hooked from the get-go.

Season 1 is available on Geek and Sundry, or on their website at SpaceJanitors.com. Season 2 started on April 2, and episodes posted every 2nd Tuesday. Check out S1E1 below!

NA MASS CARTOON

Would You Actually Watch this Mass Effect Cartoon Series? (video)

Like many of you I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons. As a matter of fact, I called Saturday “cartoon day” until I was about seven years old. Back in the golden era of Saturday morning animated entertainment we had incredible (yet bizzaro) shows like Transformers, Thundercats, and the U.S.A. Cartoon Express. While programming like Star Wars: The Clone Wars still provides kids with a bit of “magic”, I fear that the days of utterly ridiculous 80s-style cartoons are long gone… Enjoy this April fools joke from the fine folks at IGN. For the record… I would watch the poop out of this show.

DiRT 3. Or, what do you play when you’re not playing SWTOR?

Sometimes you need a break from a life consuming RPG, most of the time that means arcade racing for me. DiRT 3 is what I do when I’m not playing SWTOR, and I’m already getting a jump on playing down my 2011 game pile. What do you play when you can’t sit down with your RPG?

NA ROLL D6

Roll a D6… Roll a D6!

A few folks sent this video my way and I felt compelled to share it. I really love when people pay homage to the game that everyone is still a bit shy to admit they play. A bit of a confession…I’ve been playing DnD off and on since I was in middle school, and still think it’s the best game a person can play with a close group of friends….
