Squeeing from afar…

Yes, I’d still rather be at Comic-Con but at least the blogosphere is keeping me in the loop with what’s being released.

King of All Geeks Joss Whedon to direct AVENGERS movie – Geeks everywhere are rejoicing! (Me included and I’m not even a huge Marvel fan.) I love it when Hollywood buys a freakin’ clue and lets a person that has a real passion and understanding of the source material have such a huge role in the production of a movie. Joss Whedon is a creative genius and King of All Geeks and I know he’ll do justice to AVENGERS.

Return of Bruce Wayne – I’m a Batman fangirl at the core of my fangirly heart but this does not induce a squee from me. YAWN. I’m tired with all the crap that DC is pulling, changing around characters. Bring back Cassandra Cain and maybe I’ll pay attention again. Pfft.

Thor Kicks a Puppy in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. [via Kotaku] – Looks like my favorite goddess-wolf will be making an appearance in the latest Marvel vs. Capcom video game! Okami was quite possibly one of the best games ever created and I’m glad to see Amaterasu-wolf making an appearance in this game!

Proof that The Hubster ™ and I are complete geeks.

#1 – We spent our Friday night… watching the Season 4 Teen Titans animated television series on DVD.

#2 – We spent the evening making comments like:

During a Raven episode

Me: “… hey, didn’t Robin just train all those ghosts onto them?”
The Hubster (TM): “Don’t worry, they’ll drop aggro soon.”
Me: “Hey, looks like they dropped aggro by zoning!”

During the Starfire & Robin episode

Me: “Aww, Robin is emotion dyslexic… such a Bat.”
TH: “Oh dear god Robin. Whatever he does, I hope he doesn’t ask Bruce for relationship advice!”

During a Cyborg episode

Me: “Oh, we know Cyborg’s lust for that chip.”
TH: “And the chip is made by Star Labs!”
Me: “Second only to Wayne Enterprises.”

Me: “Aah, he’s overclocking himself!”
TH: “Yep.”
Me: “I wonder if he invested in a good heat sink. Water cooling would probably be good.”

#3 – When confronting The Hubster ™ about his “”Aww, they’re so cute!” about Starfire & Robin…

TH: “Sue me, I like cute couples.”
Me: “… so what would you call us?”
TH: “…”

Yes. We spend our free time geeking out while watching kiddie cartoons based on comic books and making dumb snarky commentary about them. Which is pretty much what we did before The Little Empress was born. Who said that your life is never the same after having a kid? Although she’ll probably rolling her eyes at us and wondering why she has such unrepentant geeks for parents soon enough.
