Whovians are everywhere!

Our crew down at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA, this weekend has gotten some awesome Doctor Who-themed photos, as this Con is the kind of place you’d expect a property like Doctor Who to be well represented.

Also happening this weekend in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert is Burning Man, and as it turns out, a fully working Dalek art car was on the scene.

And to guard the Dalekmobile? A stormtrooper!

Check out the video here below of the Dalek car in action at Burning Man [...]

If you’ve ever played Geometry Wars 2 or games like it, you know that they can be highly addicting and, for some people (such as myself, for example), they can be utterly frustrating.

But some folks just have a knack for remaining cool under video game pressure (like Jimmy from The Wizard), and can land massive scores. Take, for instance, a player by the name of TheDannyOutlaw, who just pulled off an incredible 9,342,803,875 in Geometry Wars 2‘s Pacifism mode. It doesn’t look so hard at first, but once the multiplier has the score at about 500,000,000 or so, you’ll start to see how difficult this feat is to achieve.

And the craziest thing about it? It’s only the SECOND highest score ever accomplished. A player named Mr Raincloud scored 9,940,395,050 a couple of months back (watch here).

Continue on below to see TheDannyOutlaw make a great run at the record score. [...]

Both fans and cast members of Syfy Channel original TV series Eureka lamented on the show’s cancellation during a Eureka panel at Dragon*Con 2011 Sunday.

But the sad news of Eureka‘s death didn’t make the panel any less entertaining.

For instance, Wil Wheaton (Dr. Isaac Parrish) fulfilled an audience member’s request for details about Eureka’s upcoming fifth season by miming the last scenes from the finale.

Check out the video embedded here [...]

Ever since Conan the Barbarian was first brought to life in 1932 by creator Robert E. Howard the character has endured the many decades since in books, comics, games, several films of varying quality, and on television in live-action and animated form. Conan has achieved great fame and success in every form of popular media short of being turned into a Broadway musical… until now.

Jon and Al Kaplan, the writers and composers of the off-Broadway hit Silence! The Musical, which was inspired by the movie Silence of the Lambs, have composed a rousing little Conan-themed ditty called “Crom!” and have created a video to go with the song comprised of clips from the 1982 Conan the Barbarian film. You can watch that video below this article [...]

Two lovely and talented young women, Allie Goertz and her friend Megan (no last name given), have composed a song set to an epic poem written by comedian Patton Oswalt that appeared in his book Zombie Spaceship Wasteland released earlier this year. They made a video of their effort which you can check it after the jump. […]

The folks at Dragon*Con TV have released yet another of their humorous videos that play on all the panel screens while people wait in line and such at Dragon*Con 2011.

The latest video features members of Marvel’s most powerful superhero team The Avengers trying — and failing — to produce a public service announcement advising children not to do drugs.

The humor of this situation — as many long-time fans of the comic book know — is that Tony Stark (a.k.a Iron Man) is a recovering alcoholic while the team’s star spangled leader Captain America owes all of his powers to experimenting with drugs [...]

Colin Ferguson, who plays Sheriff Jack Carter on sci-fi TV show Eureka, will direct at least one future Syfy Channel original movie, the actor announced during a panel Sunday at Dragon*Con 2011.

In the past, fans have often ridiculed Syfy’s made-for-TV movies, which feature hokey stories and awful dialog — especially when compared to the network’s original TV shows like Eureka.

Like the good sport he is, Ferguson also poked fun at past Syfy original movies along with the other fellow cast members on the panel, which included Wil Wheaton (Dr. Isaac Parrish), Jordan Hinson (Zoe Carter), and Chris Gauthier (Vincent) as well as the show’s science consultant Kevin Robert Grazier.

Ferguson and Wheaton recited a list of story ideas for possible movies that Syfy executives rejected, like The Mexercist, Diary of Anne Frankenstein, and Manchilla (a movie about a creature that’s part-man, part-chinchilla) [...]

Simply put: Doctor Who is huge at this year’s giant geek gathering in Atlanta, Georgia, known as Dragon*Con.

Seriously though. The abundance of long colorful scarves, sonic screwdrivers, and dalek dresses is ridiculous and wonderful all at the same time.

Because of this (and due to the fact that I co-host Geeks of Doom’s Doctor Who podcast called the TARDISblend with Greg Davies), we’re presenting you with the best Whovian cosplay we found covering the convention floor [...]

Among all the great Doctor Who cosplayers at Dragon*Con 2011 who turn props from the TV show into elegant dresses, none of them come close to the one we spotted in the photo above.

Modeled after the Doctor’s police box time machine, the TARDIS ballroom dress was created by Kelldar, who is known by frequent convention goers for her awesome costuming skills.

Kelldar said the inspiration for the dress came after getting an incorrect shade of blue — “TARDIS Blue” as she called it — fabric for a Marie Antoinette dress she wanted to make. Rather than ship it back, she decided to go with it [...]

While Comic-Con International has been rumored to be moving away from its home in San Diego, one of its subsidiaries, Wonder-Con, has now finally made that move.

CCI has announced that Wonder-Con will be leaving its home in San Francisco at the Moscone Center, which is undergoing renovations, and will now be taking place at the Anaheim Convention Center. The event will be held from March 16-18, 2012, which is interesting, as ReedPop’s C2E2 is held during the same month [...]
