So, we’ve now seen nearly four minutes of footage from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and we're starting to form an notion about what the storyline is going to be. Yes, we'll be getting a few more small tidbits in the form of TV spots,
but we're done with full trailers. Four minutes may not
seem like a lot of footage, but when Mike V. re-arranges all that footage into some semblance chronological order, it's actually fairly enlightening.

Infographic: The Ultimate Gaming Cycle
Here's something I did years back. It was inspired by the chart below (under the cut). It took me an entire weekend, and I still get the itch to go in and edit it every time I see it. But it's really funny if you click through to the larger version so that you can read it. Sorry the text is so small here.
I've been thinking about cleaning it up and offering as a print on one of the poster sites, like Redbubble or Society 6. What do you think? Would anyone here actually be interested in hanging one of these on their wall in real life, or is it strictly internet humor?

An old Meme, but it's still funny, in my opinion. People call this girl Disaster Girl, but that her real name is Zoe and, evidently, she was the new Fail back in 2008, thanks to BuzzFeed. Poor kid.

Motivational Poster: Leveling Up
Welcome to a new feature that I would like to call “Motivational Monday.” Each week, I'll post a geekcentric motivation poster to help you get your week jump started.
To start off, I'll be cross-posting some of the posters from my old blog, The Great Geek Manual. This is one of the very first motivational posters I ever made, back when motivational posters were still novel. Seven years later, it still makes me laugh.

News: Open Letter to Aaron Diaz
Three days ago, Mary Cagle of the webcomic Kiwi Blitz recently posted a comic she entitled "The Progression," in which she satired the disingenuous male feminism of artists who create highly sexualized "empowered" female
characters. While the comic doesn't refer to any specific artist, many people believed that Blitz's comic was triggered by cyborg-themed amputee pinup sketches artist Aaron Diaz posted to his Tumblr blog about a week ago, which he deleted shortly after Cagle's comic was posted. (If that last link goes dead, just scroll down.)
Aaron Diaz, author of the popular Dresden Codak web comic and outspoken critic of sexist character designs, took this quite personally, responding both on Tumblr and Twitter. Diaz has a strong reputation for being a genuinely good guy who comes out on the right side of most issues; however, Diaz's uncharacteristically terse response has garnered a great deal of negative attention. Over the past few days, multiple women in the webcomics community have weighed in, culminating in Magnolia Pearl writing an open letter to Aaron Diaz yesterday: "You’re allowed to make art with male gaze. But please call a spade a spade."
Of course, this isn't the first time some one else has called Diaz out on his heavy-handed use of the "male gaze." Solomon's Your Webcomic Is Bad and You Should Feel Bad blog (Part 2) addressed the issue back in 2008.
Personally, I hope Diaz continues his comic, and I hope people continue reading his comic. For all of its excessive use of the male gaze, Dresden Codak does feature some genuinely awesome female characters, along with plagiarizing bears, nerds who play philosophical tabletop RPGs, and a lot of other fun silliness.
