1. Futurama is coming back:

“When we brought back Family Guy several years ago, everyone said that it was a once in a lifetime thing—that canceled series stay canceled and cannot be revived,” the executives said in a joint statement. “But Futurama was another series that fans simply demanded we bring back, and we couldn’t have been happier when Matt and David agreed that there were many more stories yet to tell.”

If they waited much longer they would’ve had to change the name to Presentama. See, it’s funny because it took them a long time to bring it back …

2. Felicia Day + Project Natal + YouTube = @@@@@@@@@@%$%@%value undefined

3. Will somebody just direct the Alien prequel already? Jeez, never mind I’ll do it. I’ll have Bishop infected with an alien, and it comes all cyborg or something. Then it travels back in time and kills the guy who was going to make Aliens v. Predator. Gotta protect the brand.

4. The high concept-est Penny Arcade ever. I listened to the podcast and still don’t really get it.

5. A useful aggregation of striking E3 trailers. Most of which will turn out to have been better than the actual game. Don’t know why they skipped this one though:

Supposedly they actually had to execute that stuff in-game.
