Things We Saw Today: Shats

by Jamie Frevele | 4:57 pm, September 16th, 2011


Yup. Shats. Hats that are endorsed by William Shatner. Yes, the William Shatner. It writes itself, everyone. (via BuzzFeed)

  • If money has been keeping you from playing Portal, you have no more excuses — at least not until September 20. Valve is offering the game free of charge on Steam until that date, so you should definitely go there before it’s too late. There will be cake … I’m kidding, but the free game is very true. (via That Video Game Blog)
  • John Scalzi of Film Critic has a great essay on why Ripley is the best sci-fi/action heroine, but didn’t have all that much competition to begin with. And that’s a darn shame. (via Geek Mom)

    • Coveting is a bad thing, but it’s exactly what I’m doing over this Spidey necklace from Think Geek. Sterling silver, upside down, just hanging out. (via So Geek Chic)

    Reminder: Your chance for a three-dimensional return to Pride Rock begins this weekend! The Lion King 3D is only in theaters for two weeks, so make your plans now! Here is the trailer, in case you need convincing. (via Nerdvana)

    And finally, here is a steampunk R2-D2 by artist Jordan Thomas. (at Neatorama)

      This Christmas, give your family the kind of Shats that don’t just come from eating undercooked ham.

      Ripley? Isn’t she the best action hero hands down male or female? That level of badass has no competition.

      I’d put Sarah Connor just a notch above. I actually like Sigourney Weaver more than Linda Hamilton, but just in terms of character, Sarah’s more interesting.

      As for dudes… I think Indiana Jones, Han Solo, Batman, and James Bond are serious contenders for the throne.

      God is that man a tool. I really have no patience for his shenanigans anymore.

      I had to think about that one for a bit, and I.. actually have to agree. It’s pretty close, though.

      I’d remove Solo because to me he’s more of a supporting character.  We’ll have to agree to disagree on Sarah. I mean she was a badass but I guess its a matter of style to me. Batman money supporting him, James Bond had Q, I’d consider Indy pretty damn close to perfect action hero. BUT: Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Conner vs. Weaver’s Ripley. I’ll give you Conner did have crazy and strength on her side, but its gotta be Ripley. Talk about keeping it together and getting it done. Also just an additional note, Ripley wasn’t written originally to be played by a woman. Hell I don’t remember if she was written to be played by a man either. Remove gender from the equation and you have an awesome badass.
