Actually, time travel is confusing on many levels—what the hell did happen in Twelve Monkeys exactly?—but it’s the simple things that can cause the biggest headaches. Especially, as the mouse-over text in XKCD points out, the countdown: “T-minus 10… 11…”. [XKCD] More »

I’ve never been a fan of Hello Kitty, the little kitty turns up on some things that are cute and cuddly and others that are just plain bizarre. We’ve seen the kitty adorn everything from adorable flash drives, to creepy chainsaws, to Darth Vader in the past. One of the strangest uses for Hello Kitty I’ve seen comes in the form of a cartoon that’s coming to The Hub Network. The cartoon has a working title called KISS Hello Kitty.
The series will be based on the oddly successful KISS x Hello Kitty line of products from Sanrio. I don’t exactly think KISS when it comes to kids’ entertainment programming. However, many of the cartoons on TV today aren’t aimed at kids in the least.
The cartoon series will follow four KISS x Hello Kitty characters living the rock ‘n roll dream. The series is currently in the initial stages of development with Gene Simmons slated to be one of the executive producers on the show. There is no indication yet when the show will air.
And, as Randall Munroe points out in today’s XKCD, this is how to do it. Maybe then they’ll understand why preserving aspect ratios is important. [XKCD] More »

One of Nintendo’s most popular action-adventure games that involve a hero named Link and a princess named Zelda has got to be its The Legend of Zelda series. Many potential Wii U owners are anticipating news from Nintendo of a new Legend of Zelda title, which hopefully will come at E3 2013. In the meantime, how about we enjoy a fan-made video from Shamoozal and GoNintendo that imagines The Legend of Zelda as a modern-day cartoon.
In “Link’s Triumph,” we witness one of the most iconic moments in the entire Legend of Zelda series which has Link fighting his first boss battle with nothing more than his wooden sword. The concept of a boss battle was nothing new when The Legend of Zelda was released, but boss battles with enemies that took up nearly an entire screen was something no one ever thought of and probably lead to many nightmares.
The animation in the video is done very well and you might even spot a few easter egg sounds thrown into the mix, one of which is Link’s voice when he attacks, which wasn’t introduced until much later on in the series.
