Starships Start Here Revenge!

Since Tylorp thought he'd get so fancy and take a shot at Starships Start Here I thought I'd do the same seeing as I want to be just like him hate him so much.

Starships Start Here

One of the more intriguing things I found out about at Hal-Con was startshipsstarthere.ca. It is a parody site of ships start here. Star ships start here shows off a wonderful alternative reality where Nova Scotia ships builders are applying their trade to ships capable of boldly going where no man has gone before. The site is open to submissions, so being a photoshop amateur I whipped up this little number.

Being a Lunenburg native I decided to go with one of the two most recognizable landmarks (the other being our waterfront). I also love the idea of the academy being the secret holding facility for any kind of Japanese style monster battler. I went with Ultra Man instead of Voltron, or the Morphazoid because... well Ultra man kicks ass. I'll update to let you know if I got submitted.

Till the next post.

NS Gaming: Boardgasm's Child's Play Marathon

Starting today is the Nova Scotia Board Gaming Society's Super Mega Ultra Combo Board Gaming Marathon Weekend. The event will be a marathon of gaming to support this year's Penny Arcade Child's Play.

From Noon on November 24th until Midnight on November 26th, several brave souls will be undertaking a Board Gaming marathon. Everything will be broadcast live over the internet. In addition, viewers will have the opportunity to influence the event. By donating money to Child's Play, a very worthy charity, viewers can help determine which game is played next, which players will be playing, and they can even force specific players to play games they hate. For the complete rules to the event, look below. - Source

The games range from Castle Panic to Risk to The Walking Dead (sadly no Battleship this year). So make sure to check out the site and make a donation, it is going to a good cause. You can also see the full game list here. Hit the jump for a couple bio videos made by the marathon players as you can tell from the screens below hijinks ensue.
