Ten Song Covers You've Never Heard

Hey all you out there in Cyberspace!!!

Cordy here!

So each and every one of us has that one favorite video game song or cover that we absolutely love. But when we go to share it with someone, half the time they barely know what we are talking about. Here are ten amazing covers that I have stumbled across during my time on the interwebs. They are in no real specific order, they are just ten of my faves:


1. Dragon Roost Remix Feat Veela by Ephixa
I have honestly loved and listened to Veela for years, she has tons of amazing covers and original songs, you should totally check her out!!!
http://www.youtube.com/user/veelabeats





2. Game of Thrones Cover By Peter Hollens and Lindsey Stirling
I have been listening to Lindsey Stirling for about four or five years. She is a great inspiration to me because I also play the electric violin, I just would never be as great at it as she is, lol.
I stumbled across this video while looking for more of hers. Here are their channel links:
Lindsey: http://www.youtube.com/user/lindseystomp?feature=watch
Peter: http://www.youtube.com/user/peterhollens?feature=watch






3. The Dragonborn Comes by Steam Up


This is the only cover posted by this channel, and I honestly cannot wait for more.

4. Deku Palace Theme Metal Cover  by ArtificialFear

Matt Graham is one of THE best cover artists I have ever listened to, and to be quite frank, eventually I will be posting a list of his top videos because it is hard to categorize him with anyone else. Here is his channel link:

5. Twinrova Theme Cover by FamilyJules7x

Ahhh, what to say, what to say... I love him. Quite plainly, I love him, lol. But seriously, Familyjules7x is AMAZING. Not only does he post the videos, but he also shows people how to play his versions of the songs. Here is his channel link:

6. Subzero Feat NonelikeJoshua and BoyinaBand

On their own, these two are amazing artists and put out great videos regularly. Together though, they are a force to be reckoned with:

7. Cello Wars by The Piano Guys (Star Wars Parody)

ThePianoGuys are down right amazing. They take classical instruments and make them more relative to our generation XD






8. Harry Potter Meets Metal by 331Erock

Nuff said...

9. Like It's Quiddich cover By TheStation

Ahh the Station... it is no longer TheStation... R.I.P.

Now they are NachoPunch... and things just aren't the same...







10. Angry Birds by The Key of Awesome

I have to admit, I may be the stereotypical goth chick, but I absolutely love Adele. This cover of rolling in the deep is awesome and I just have to say Kudos to the Key of Awesome XD

10 Funniest Nerd Jokes on Futurama

Hey all you out there in Cyberspace!!!

Cordy here,
 
    I don't know if any of you guys have ever heard of a blog called the GeekTwins, but they are funny as hell. Here is one of my favorite posts from them explaining the nerd Jokes in Futurama:



Futurama has developed a cult following partially due to the large number of in-jokes it contains, most of which are aimed at geeks. In commentary on the DVD releases, David X. Cohen sometimes explains the nerdiest jokes. Not all fans have listened to the DVD, so not all of them know the explanation. Of course, there's an old saying that if you have to explain a joke, then it's not funny. I'm going to buck that trend by doing just that.
1. Quantum Horseracing
Appearance: "The Luck of the Fryrish"
The Joke:  At a racetrack, they use a "quantum finish" to declare the winner. Professor Farnsworth complains, "No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!"
The Meaning: The "quantum finish" is about the observer effect. The observer effect means just watching something can change what's being watched. For example, in experiments, particles will literally change how they behave, depending on whether they're being watched. Farnsworth is protesting that watching the horse race changed the winner.

2. Schrödinger's Cat
Appearance: "Law and Oracle"
The Joke: Fry and the robot cop URL track down a traffic violator who turns out to be Erwin Schrödinger, the 20th century quantum physicist. On the front seat of the car is a box, and when questioned about the contents, Schrödinger replies, "A cat, some poison, and a Caesium atom." When Fry asks if the cat is alive or dead, Schrodinger answers, "It's a superposition of both states until you open the box and collapse the wave function."
The Meaning: Schrödinger is most famous for a thought experiment: a cat is placed in a sealed, soundproof box with some poison and radioactive material. If the material decays, it triggers the poison, which kills the cat. If it doesn't, the cat stays alive. Since we can't know which happened without opening the box, the cat is both alive and dead until we open the box. Immortality through uncertainty.
3. Error Message
Appearance: "Mars University"
The Joke: When Bender goes to Mars University, he runs into his old fraternity, Epsilon Rho Rho.
The Meaning: Epsilon Rho Rho is abbreviated as ERR, which is an abbreviation of "error," a reference to errors in programming. And the nerds at ERR certainly had their share of errors.

4. The P/NP Problem 
Appearance: "Put Your Head on My Shoulders"
The Joke: In the closet where Amy and Fry are hiding, we can see there are two books in the closet; one labeled P and the other NP.
The Meaning: P and NP refer to a mathematical problem described by Wikipedia as asking "whether every problem whose solution can be quickly verified by a computer can also be quickly solved by a computer." A deeper explanation of that is beyond my pay grade, but basically all you need to know is that the problem is complex, and currently unsolved. There's a million dollar prize out there for anyone who can find the solution. The idea that it could be found in a couple of books, tucked away into a closet is kind of like the Mona Lisa in a broom closet. Then again, it is the future.

5. The Infinite Theater
Appearance: "Raging Bender"
The Joke: The crew of Futurama goes to their local theater, which is named "Loew's ℵ0-Plex"
The Meaning: The ℵ0 (pronounced "aleph-null") is a mathematical representation of the smallest infinite cardinal number. In other words, the theater has an infinite number of screens. Now that's convenience.

6. Condensed Milt
Appearance: "Put your Head On My Shoulder"
The Joke: When Fry and Amy are in a same closet, we also see in the background a bottle of "condensed milt."
The Meaning: Condensed milk is a common household good, just milk in a thicker form. Milt is the seminal fluid of aquatic animals (like mollusks) who reproduce by spraying it onto eggs. There are some countries that eat milt, but I don't know of any condensed cans of it.

7. BASIC Housekeeping
Appearance: "I, Roommate"
The Joke: Fry and Bender are moving into a new apartment, and hang a sign that reads, "10 Home," "20 Sweet," "30 GOTO 10."
The Meaning: The sign is written in an early computer language called BASIC. Each line in BASIC is numbered, and the term "GOTO" tells the program to go back to the line number that comes after it. In other words, if this were a BASIC program, it would read "Home Sweet Home" in an endless loop.

8. Binary Evil
Appearance: "The Honking"
The Joke: In a haunted house, blood forms "0101100101" on the wall. Bender pronounces it gibberish until he looks in the mirror and sees "1010011010." He runs off screaming.
The Meaning: In binary, "0101100101" translates to 357. However "1010011010" translates to 666, which is commonly referred to as the Number of the Beast and associated with Satan. That would spook me out, too.

9. Exclusionary Beer
Appearance: "The Route of All Evil"
The Joke: At one point, we see a beer labeled "St. Pauli Exclusion Principle Girl."
The Meaning: The name "St. Pauli Exclusion Principle Girl" is a combination of the popular beer St. Pauli Girl, and the Pauli Exclusion Principle. In case you were wondering, the Pauli Exclusion Principle states two electrons can't have the same four quantum numbers.



10. Strong Glue
Appearance: "The 30% Iron Chef"
The Joke: When Zoidberg breaks Farnsworth's model ship, he tries to fix it with a bottle of Strong Force Krazy Glue.
The Meaning: The strong force (also known as the strong nuclear force, nuclear strong force or color force) is one of four basic forces of nature. The other three are electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and gravity. As the name implies, strong force is the strongest of the four, responsible for holding together subatomic particles at the nuclei. So some glue using strong force would be pretty strong. But apparently, not that strong, since Zoidberg gets it all over himself, and manages to get it off. I'd demand a refund.
