Even though "Ryan vs. Dorkman" is considered a fan film, there's no doubt that it and its sequels were professionally made: in addition to filming force lightning, floating lightsabers and limb loss, Ryan and Dorkman hired a 57-piece orchestra to score the soundtrack.
Now the latest fan film, brought to you by Ryan, a.k.a. Ryan Wieber, along with his pal Brandon, multiplies the fun. Literally.
You'll have to see for yourself what we mean.
"Ryan vs. Dorkman" received attention for its intense, nonverbal light saber battle, and its sequel, "Ryan vs. Dorkman 2" was named #2 in Time magazine's top 10 best fan films of all time. "Ryan vs. Brandon" won theforce.net's third Lightsaber Choreography Competition. (Thirteen other incredibly good lightsaber battles can be found here.) These fan films are so awesome that Wieber was offered a job with Lucasarts because of them.
Take a look and let us know if you think "Ryan vs. Brandon 2" is every bit as good as its prequels.

These are some cool things that I've seen recently.
I like old cartoons, so this extended version of the Jetson's Theme Song.
[collegehumor 1921405]
Modern Family is premiering tonight on ABC. LA Times, NPR, Washington Post, and TV Guide are giving this scripted mockumentary-style comedy great reviews.
That show looks like it will hold up on its own, but if for some reason they need special effects, may I recommend this very cool thing:
Those are some of the coolest FX, that I've seen in a while. Effects are cool, but sometimes you just need a pure image of goodness. I believe that this elephant will suffice that. Ahh, it's cute because he's bathing.

After years of development and several creepy videos, Boston Dynamics' Big Dog robot is scheduled to get bigger. Working off a $32 million request from DARPA and the Marine Corps, Boston Dynamics has developed a souped-up version of the quadrupedal Big Dog robot called the the Legged Squad Support System (LS3). This new robot will have a longer range, heavier carrying capacity, and more agility than its predecessor.
Boston Dynamics designed the original Big Dog as a robotic replacement for flesh and blood pack animals. Mountainous or uneven terrain often proves impassible even for hardy vehicles like the Humvee, forcing soldiers to carry heavy loads themselves or forsake equipment entirely. The agile Big Dog robot would carry that equipment, lightening the load for the soldiers, or allowing them to bring even heavier systems through nearly impassable terrain. The LS3 serves the same function, only more so.
The original Big Dog can carry a load of 340 pounds almost 13 miles at a pace of four miles per hour, while being remotely operated by a human. Plus, it's agile enough to navigate a 30 degree incline.
The LS3, on the other hand, will carry a 400 pound load 20 miles, only refuel every 24 hours, and use a mixture of cameras and GPS signals to follow a squad autonomously. Boston Dynamics also plans to make the LS3 faster than the original Big Dog, and even capable of jumping over obstacles.
