If he does, it will just be his brain in a box.

Actually, there will be a lot of nerdrage involved, as the kids argue over whether it's 38th or 39th edition is better, with the pro-39th saying 38e is too complex, and the pro-38th saying 39e is too much like hologames.

And Hermes will chime in to say it was better in the good old days of 37th edition, when Shapeshifter was a class. Damn right.

Awesome. I love too that the name is a spin on the Dead Alewives skit.

That is beyond awesome. Futurama just became even more dear to my heart. I didn't think that was possible.

Did anyone else notice that the much maligned d12 is getting a lot of love in that trailer?

What? No, Jayne, No. It is a pun on the Orson Scott Card classic 'Ender's Game'. Where a large part of Ender's military training takes place in a virtual medieval fantasy land. Just like the one Bender goes to.

Most likely, it is a happy accident that it works for both of them.

Ha ha my Finnish friend... I live with a Fin at the moment. His name is Antti and he's from Helsinki. Really good guy, Taught me some cool words like 'vittu' and 'punahilkka'. He's a bit crazy. I have also shared a few bottles of Koskenkorva with him.

Yes when I saw that on my Beast with a Billion Backs DVD I was so excited. The preview makes it look so funny. Sadly I'll be in Africa when it is released
