A Great day for Poor (and/or cheap) Nerds everywhere (MOS and new Futurama )

SupermanI was surprised to see there was zero delay between release of the final season of Futurama and it coming to Netflix. It’s been a long time fav of mine, and my wife is a bigger fan than me (and has the toys and stuffed animals to prove it!) So give it a watch if you haven’t yet. I’ll still be being her the Blu ray for the commentary, Futurama has always had some of the best commentary tracks.

I was also notified by the handy dandy remind me option at redbox that Man of Steel is now available. I’ve been a slacker and haven’t seen it yet, so if your like me you can get a  viewing in now that it’s a buck and change for a night with the blu ray.

Minecraft is Art: In 2D ???

creeperrburstin  I have to share some more Minecraft artwork today. I’ve followed Modest517 for awhile, but this takes the cake of anything he has done. I honestly thought I was looking at an image from the game Terreria, not Minecraft (Terrerria is in 2D but has a similar exploring an open world concept)  Check out the video below, as he eventually fools you into seeing a flat service. -revsears
