For your lunar eclipse viewing pleasure, here’s a clip of the opening sequence to the 1970s TV series Space 1999. It was an incredibly cheesy sci-fi show from the mind of Gary Anderson (Thunderbirds) that supposed the moon has been blasted from its orbit by a nuclear disaster. For it’s time, though, the special effects [...]
A few months ago, YouTuber StSanders created some hilarious videos poking fun at shredders like Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen. I’d love to post one of them here, but apparently YouTube has taken down all the videos and suspended StSanders’ account.

Not willing to let the hardware markers have all the fun during CES, MTV announced today a bunch of partnerships to syndicate video from its networks to various online video sites. The cable giant has new deals with such sites as Veoh, MeeVee, and Dailymotion.

The year was 1978 and CBS decided to cash in on the mega-popularity of Star Wars by commissioning the Star Wars Holiday Special. [...]
The original giant robot of anime, Gigantor. Happy Friday!
Watch this video from Hifana’s new song “Connect” (via Pink Tentacle). It has robots. It will blow your mind.
