Right This Second-Deadmau5. This song takes a minute or three to get going and then blammo. Ham.

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that some of you folks like TV. I know I shouldn’t assume, but I’m already an ass so I think I’m covered. I’m also going to guess that a sizeable number of you are kind of nerdy, not that it’s a bad thing. Well, in the early halcyon days of TV known as the 1990-’s 2000′s, Fox broadcasting was the be all end all master of creating quirky, unique and interesting television. Fox was also the demonic lord of not giving any of these shows a chance to succeed, and therefore canceling them immediately.
One of these aforementioned shows was Firefly. It was a western set in space, yeah you’re already pumped up if you’ve never heard of it. It came from the mind of Joss Whedon and starred the incomparable Nathan Fillion, a largely unknown Adam Baldwin and future nerd crush, Summer Glau. Part of the problem* was that the opening credits didn’t kick enough ass or sell what the soul of the show was. If Firefly had been an 80′s creation, that likely would have not been an issue. The folks at io9 decided that they would retroactively redo the opening credits, in a way that allowed the show to bask in its awesome glory. So sit back, take a hit of your best mescaline and enjoy.
That. That video was amazing. It is the greatest thing that mankind has or ever will accomplish. Sadly, Simon Tam was left out of the credits due to time constraints. Don’t fret though my pretties, I’ve included a bonus Simon Tam credit and the original lame Firefly credits for your enjoyment below. (more…)
Last Call is kind of like Blogkakke, only on PCP, LSD and ludes. Fucking ludes man. Instead of just being a random link dump, it’s a place to congregate with fellow like minded sports fans, alcoholics and amateur comedians. So come on in, kick your shoes off and crack a beer; then regale us with a witty joke, bitch about that local sports team or ask gimp how best to deal with a ficus.
