The Big Picture
Posted: August 22, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentI used to think the only thing The Escapist magazine was good for was video game reviewer extraordinaire Zero Punctuation (This guy has more metaphors than…a barrel full of metaphors?) until I stumbled upon The Big Picture. It’s a series of 5-minute shorts where Bob, the host, nerds out about a given topic. This is very much worth watching, here are a few I really enjoyed:
A Nerd By Any Other Name: Hardcore sports fans are absolutely no different from nerds, including Cosplay.
Feeding Edge: Bob expresses the same sentiment I’ve had about the whole “Frankenfood” debate. I really don’t understand what exactly is the difference between the selective engineering that has been occurring since the dawn of civilization and what is done in a lab nowadays.
Continanity: Why I don’t read superhero comic books.
Hollywood History 101: This is seriously fantastic, part 1 of 3.
Keep up the great work Bob, you entertain, delight and educate all at the same time.
