Strider's Sci-Fi

The life size Gundam Mecha returned to its home in Odaiba recently, and the folks at Darwin Fish 105 did their usual incredible job of filming the event. This time around, the footage was taken at night, with a very nice overlay (if something in the background can be considered an overlay, since it is [...]

There have never been that many moments of actual footage of Jupiter videos or individual photos of the planet, because no physical camera has ever returned from there for us to develop the film. But this compilation of digital images returned to Earth over the last handful of decades and assembled by some of the [...]

Captain Jacks Song (A better Man) is a definitive Trock (Time Lord Rock) type of tune, followed by a variant on Katey Perry called I Kissed Rose Tyler, another Trock.

This amazing video, called A Slice of Life, was put together by the folks at the GE Show. The premise of the program is to make the technology that is changing our day to day lives understandable in ways everyone can understand. The videos are short, punchy, and full of good information.

The band is called Chameleon Circuit, and their music is all about Doctor Who. The first song in this sample set is Type 40, which is all about the Tardis itself, and the second is An Awful Lot of Running Around, which is pretty much the Companions job description.

I just can’t get enough geek and sci-fi music, so here we go again. This time around it’s Tonight I’m Frakking You from Break Originals (notice the hot Cylon honeys from the series, one in a Princess slave girl outfit from another franchise), Star Trek Girl from Meekakitty, and finally ALL CAP’S song World of [...]

And I will admit that hand loading the mortars and running around with [...]
