Everybody needs some role models, someone to look up to. Someone who does heroic deeds selflessly for the good of others. Making the tough choices that no one else can for the greater good. Even if they themselves don’t get to partake, and have to rename nameless and faceless. As someone once said, sometimes the needs of the many, outweighs the needs of the few, or the one.

A few weeks ago, writer Jim Stalin revealed that DC almost killed Jimmy Olsen from AIDS back in the 80’s in an attempt to be hip and trendy. Fortunately, someone told them that was a horrible idea. To commemorate this news, we’re sharing a bunch of AIDS PSAs we found in old DC comic books.

Check them out after the jump, they are pretty hilarious.

Thirty six years ago today, a landmark film was released in the science fiction genre. It’s a little film you may have heard of called Star Wars. In celebration of that glorious day that changed geekdom forever, today is Geek Pride Day, so wear it proudly!

But also, don’t forget the hardships your geek forefathers bore. It wasn’t always as easy to be a geek as it was today. Besides the daily beatings in school, we had it hard. Nowadays you can transfer files just by touching your phones together, that’s insane!

Back in my day we used floppy disks, and hundreds of them, or those horribly designed Zip disks. Or if we wanted to download an image from our favorite BBS (not the Internet, but BBS, the Internet wasn’t even a thing yet) it would take like 30 minutes, not .08 seconds. My first hard drive was 235 MB. MEGAbytes. Now my laptop has 2 Terabytes by default. That’s a million times bigger! Don’t believe how hard it always was, check out this timeline on the History of File Sharing to see how far we’ve come in just over 40 years.

A hero is only as good as his rogues gallery. Breaking up muggings and robberies is all well and good, but taking down a super villain and his diabolical machinations is an entirely different story.

With today being the release of Star Trek: Into Darkness, I’m celebrating with a sci-fi list. Not best series or anything, but best elements from sci-fi.

OK, I know I’ve been a little lax here with the the Tuesday Previews of late, but I bring you a good one this week. The first issue of the comic adaption of the hit Cartoon Network show Regular Show.

Cartoon Network’s powerhouse series now has its own comic book series! Hot on the heels of the smash hit adaptation, ADVENTURE TIME, KaBOOM! unveils the next all-ages comic phenomenon! Join Mordecai the Bluejay and Rigby the Raccoon, a couple of best bros in their twenties just tryin’ to chill for a bit, man. But when you’re livin’ in as crazy a world as they are, no day can be called . . . Regular!

What with Mother’s Day being this weekend, this week I’m picking my favorite Fictional Moms. Most of them are actually horrible when it comes to mothering, but that doesn’t make them any less entertaining. In fact, it’s probably just the opposite.

When it was announced two weeks ago, we said we’d remind you when the day came, so here we are. You can get yourself a free Level 100 Legendary Deoxys for your copy of Pokémon Black 2 or Pokémon White 2 starting today, up through May 31st. It’s pretty easy to claim. You’ll need your DS, your game copy, connection to Wi-Fi, and no more than 11 Wonder Cards in your possession.

Pop your game into your DS and turn that sucker on. Then, when your game starts, select “MYSTERY GIFT”. Select “RECEIVE GIFT”, and confirm “YES” to open a channel. When the channel is open, select “GET VIA NINTENDO WFC”, and again confirm “YES”. Boom! There you go, free Deoxys! Be sure you have a free slot in your party, then speak to the deliveryman at any Pokémon center to pick him up and add him to your party. And don’t forget to save your game.

If that was too much words, and you need pretty pictures, you can follow the visual instructions over at the Pokémon website.

Not every super power is useful. I mean, I think we can all agree that money is the best superpower (see: Batman and Iron Man). But for every radioactive spider bite that gives you super strength and the ability to climb walls, there’s an mutant who can change their hair color at will, which is not great for winning fights with Magneto.

Don’t forget, tomorrow is the 11th annual Free Comic Book Day. There are all kinds of cool books availible at your Local Comic Book Shop, including books about Superman, Thanos, The Walking Dead, Aphrodite IX, Damsels, Aspen, all kinds of choices gear toward the kiddies like Sonic, Spongebob, and Bongo, and my favorite, a Steampunk version Wizard of Oz. You can see the full comic list and find a participating shop on the Free Comic Book Day site.
