Join us as we rewatch and discuss the live-action Transformers movie the same day it released to DVD and HD-DVD. Highlights: we review the history and various story lines of Transformers, geek out over slow-motion battles, question the meaning of life and the concept of DNA-based computers (and Furbys), love on Michael Bay, enjoy the embarrassment [...]
I’m normally not a fan of marketing schemes like this — but this one is easily the coolest thing I’ve run across in many days. Once I heard, “Chuck, this is Optimus Prime…” I didn’t give a damn what they do with my information. I’ve already bought the DVD anyway. It’s just totally worth it.
The [...]
So I ran across this posting from The Lonely Toaster on the forum about Transformers costumes. I was super stoked about it, but I after I saw it I realized that I’m really not as imaginative as some of the folks in this video. In fact, I’m not even in the running.
Take a look at [...]
As you’ve probably heard, we’re big fan’s of Michael Bay’s live-action Transformers movie. We’ve seen it a few times in the theaters, but tonight we get to check it out in the comfort of the GWC lair, firing up the theater (and subwoofer) for some ground-pounding robot-saving-the-world action. That’s right: the movie hits shelves for [...]
Welcome to the new GWC direct-to-archive podcast! This ‘cast operates in conjunction with the Galactica Watercooler ‘cast, offering us an opportunity to dish at length about science fiction, fantasy, comic, and videogame subject matter. In this first ‘cast, we discuss the GWC rewatch of The Last Starfighter — a flick that has a special place [...]
If you’re a Halo 3 player looking for some multi-player action, come join other GWCers tonight for a frakkin’ frag fest on XBox Live. It’s an informal meetup, so you don’t need to dress up — or make any special plans. Just look for any of your GWC friends and invite them into your game [...]

This week we cover Razor Flashback #2, the current rewatch episode The Captain’s Hand, and (as always) lots, lots more. Highlights: We discuss the flashbacks vs. the pre-season-three webisodes and their classification as “episodes” (and therefore spoilers), enjoy seeing a Viper in a whatever-isode, question the heritage of young Adama’s blue eyes, wonder what derogatory [...]
Full disclosure: I’m a huge Halo fan. Though I’ve only recently begun to fully enjoy the FPS experience, Halo’s story was enough to pull me in from the beginning. The Halo story is epic, covering a huge volume of time and space. Spread over thousands of years and dozens of parsecs? As Jayne would say, [...]
