Links You Should Know - 3/16

Hey, it's 3/16! Happy Stone Cold Steve Austin Day everybody! And anyone who chuckled at that is a wrestling nerd like me. Anyways, dorkiness not withstanding, I want to share with you guys my new favorite website today. It's called Once Upon a Win, and it is filled with epic wins from the 80's and 90's - filled with to the brim with nostalgia for any child of the late 70's/80's. Personally, I get a huge kick out of this stuff and I long for those days, things seem a lot simpler back then they do now. Oh well, relive the memories with this site! It's awesome.

Links You Should Know: 3/2

So Nick (my roomate) and I finally got Netflix through our X-Box 360. So in other words, if I disappear for days on end than you can find me curled up in the fetal position in front of my new lord and master watching Sliders episodes for days on end while covered in crumbs and pizza boxes in my bathrobe. It's only a matter of time before the X-Box wins the battle of wills between my need to make money and my desire to watch the Rocky movies any time I want, as many times as I want. I've only had this for about 12 hours so far, and most of that time was sleeping and getting ready for work, but I am wondering how or why I ever thought I could live without it. What a fool I was!

Since Malevolent March has just started, I figured I'd keep things light and include a little video for you guys to check out. The guy shows off his mastery of the violin for a little while, but about 40 seconds in he busts out an awesome version of Gnarls Barkely's Crazy. Check it out, it's sweet as hell.

Links You Should Know - 2/23

Yo yo. I know I've said this before, and I'll say it again, but I have been pretty swamped in my personal life and I feel bad for not being able to post as much content for you guys. Right now, this blog is just me and Peter, but worry not because plans are currently in motion to expand our stable and make this site even bigger and better. Until then, I'm going to try and work in a whole bunch of awesome posts this week, and then stuff should mellow out for me soon so I can crank even more goodness out to you. For today's edition of LYSK, I thought I'd share what's becoming another of my favorite comic book blogs, Ryan K. Lindsay's Stink Brown. Ryan just started writing on the Weekly Crisis and has busted out two pretty cool features on there already in addition to the other articles he's written. Give his blog a look through, it's a pretty sweet and intellectual look at comics.

Links You Should Know - Awesome News Round-Up Edition!

Boo-ya. So this week is going to be a might hectic for me, but I refuse to deprive any fans of Event Fatigue their daily dose of inanity, so I'll be making some quick posts from time to time. Starting off, I just want to point out how I picked the winner, but failed to cover, for the Super Bowl which was a tremendous game. I'm going to do a Main Event...Fatigue tonight with my thoughts from the game and other sports related shenanigans. But for now, I'm doing a special over-sized edition of Links You Should Know because there were many awesome news stories that have broken this weekend and I want to cover all of them. Hit the jump for the links.

Links You Should Know

April 16th - 18th, 2010. That is the opening weekend for something that I hope becomes an annual tradition here in Chicago, the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo (More commonly known as C2E2). C2E2 is going to be at McCormick Place this year, and this is the guest list that has been announced so far: Alex Ross, Geoff Johns, Steve McNiven, Steve Epting, Ethan Van Schiver, Mike Mignola, Mike Perkins, and many others. One of my favorite writers of comics all-time (Johns) and my two favorite artists (McNiven and Ross) are all at the same comic-con, which equals me spending lots of money. Anyway, it is today's Link You Should Know because I am super-excited about this and I think that you should be too.
