Grace Mitchell – Aura
1. Wolverine
I’ve been in love with Wolverine since I was like 14. When I was younger I saw him as a sign that it was all right to have so much anger in me and to even be called an animal because of my ferocity. Later on I have seen him as a sign of strength and well his own animalistic anger has a bit of charm 😉
2. Alucard
If I was ever to create a vampire it would have been Alucard. He is all powerful, laughs when people try to attack him and general society, makes snide jokes, drinks blood out of freaking blood bags, and to top it all off he turns into shadows with eyes <3 I just think he’s so fucking hot.
3. Rorsharch
I love the darkness within Rorsharch and his total determination in what he believes in. He saw the world in black and white, he saw the creatures that people had come and didn’t hold back. He might be fucked up in the head but I admire him and honestly have a crush on him for his determination and for cleaning the streets of the filth that no one else dares to clean up.
4. L
I can’t help but just love a genius who is wacky and seems a bit off. I love the way he sits on his chair, his obsession with sweets, his over the top intelligence, his fighting skills and of course the way he gives percentages to everything. L = <3
5. David Tennant as Dr.Who
Wacky, hyper, funny, intelligent and the awesome hair. I just love him so much. He is so much fun to watch and is defienetely my favorite Dr.Who.

1. David Tennant’s Dr Who – Because he’s completely charming, genius smart and occasionally bespectacled. He hits the manic tone perfectly and toes an interesting line between harmlessly eccentric and dangerous. That and he’s very, very lovely to look at in his converse and long brown coat.
2. Dracula from Van Helsing – the Hugh Jackman movie. He has an atrocious accent and ridiculous hair, but for some reason my brain sees this and finds it attractive. I think it’s a combination of the voice and the gravity defying walks across the ceiling. Oh! And the masquerade ball, mmm….
3. Viggo Mortensen/ Aragorn– He acts, writes, sings, paints, is in one of my favourite movies playing one of my favourite characters, and is as manly-man as you can get when traipsing through orc infested fantasy worlds -done deal.
4. Vegeta – This one I know for sure makes me insane. He’s got a widow’s peak from hell, a monkey tail, serious anger issues and is a bit of a short arse; but I love him. Goku loses out for being too damn stupid, although there is always Gogeta…
5. Severus Snape – Harry Potter. I know. But it’s Alan Rickman – The Voice TM. I could listen to the man all day. Who doesn’t lust after a snarky, belligerent wizard who lives in a dungeon?
Jed Bradshaw – THE JEDINATOR !!
1. Yvonne Strahovski – Starring in the geek friendly show CHUCK, Yvonne is as deadly as she is beautiful. Plus, she is a character model and provides the voice for a character in the Mass Effect series.
2. Cortana – Sassy, smart and virtual, Cortana provides inspiration, intellect and humor to the Halo series. Her personality can be all over the place, but that is what makes her special.
3. Sherry Jackson – Although only acting in a few limited roles, her appearance as an Android in the original series of Star Trek, she proved she had the looks and talent to be a star. In fact, she is probably one of the better actors throughout the entire series.
4. Valentine – From the book, Ender’s Game, Valentine is as sweet as her name suggests. However, she can also be as cunning and ruthless as the best of them, although her ethics prevent her from crossing the line.
5. Queen Amidala – Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was undoubtedly my jumping off point when it comes to science fiction, video games and my fascination with other geek items. And of course, Queen Amidala was my favorite part of the movie.
Phil Federico – MasterAbbott
1. Summer Glau – OMG If I had the chance I’d ask her to marry me. She is possibly the most attractive women on the planet in my eyes. An amazing and very talented actress, I especially enjoyed Summer’s role as John Connor’s protector in Terminator “The Sarah Conor” Chronicles. I hope Summer comes down for Supanova next year so I can propose to her 😉
2. Chun-Li – (Street Fighter) Chun Li is one of the most hottest video game characters on the planet. She’s beautiful and very athletic, she ticks all my boxes. Most important she can fight! I love a woman that can flip upside down and perform the “Spinning Bird Kick and cause some major damage with her long sexy legs.
3. Poison – (Final Fight) Ok Ok Ok .. Yes Capcom did turn Poison into some sort of freaky half woman half man thing because she was too revealing in the game for younger audiences. But now that she’s back as a playable character in Street Fighter Vs Tekken, looks like she’s revert back to her true form. All woman, and VERY hot, she can tie me up with her hand-cuff any time.
4. Jill Valentine – (Resident Evil) Ok now what’s not to like about Jill, she’s tough, beautiful, able to handle large weapons with ease and most importantly not scared of zombies. Honestly Jill is the PERFECT women, with her by side and hopefully in my bed I can rest assured I won’t have to worry about anything or anyone ever again. <3 you Jill
5. Lara Croft – (Tomb Raider) From the very first time I laid, eyes on Lara Croft I instantly fell in love with her, an amazingly athletic, intelligent woman that knows what she wants and how to get it. By the way did I mention she’s loaded as well, she could be my sugar mamma. I can stay home and spend all her money while she’s out finding valuable relics and saving the world from destruction.
Matt Vella
1. Lillymon (Digimon)-Shut up and don’t judge me! Lillymon seems cute, innocent, and like someone you could take home to mum and dad. Plus she’s technically a plant so I could keep her in my room all day. She’s loyal, has a tomboy-ish personality so I reckon we’d get along well, but still looks pretty girly and she’s a plant so I doubt she’d be a smoker. I don’t care that she isn’t human, love knows no bounds of limits!
2. Princess Toadstool Peach (Super Mario Bros.)-She’s a blonde, rich, royal, well-mannered, loves cake, can defy gravity by levitating, athletic and I know she’s got to be a really good kisser, because Mario was willing to travel through 8 worlds just to get just a little kiss! Sure; she’s also stubborn, has violent mood swings and has a really annoying high-pitched voice, but like I said…….she’s rich! 🙂 She can be my princess any day, and just like what Nicholas Cage says in that movie Face/Off: “I can eat a peach for hours!” 😛
3. Android 18 (Dragon Ball Z) – Before you say ‘she’s an android, you can’t go there!’ Yes you can n00b, she’s was human until she was enhanced by Dr Gero, and I know she can do the deed because she gave birth to Pan, so there! 18 is just like the girls I hit on in real life: she’s stylish, has a decent sense of humour, is a rebel, out of league, and can easily kick my ass. Yeah, Im into bad girls. However, I’d go for the 18 from the Cell Saga, before she was a MILF, just cause I want the rebellious youth 18 to be mine!
4. Mai Shiranui (King of Fighters)-Mai has very, very big umm…personality! Furthermore, her character design was based on tales of kunoichi, or female ninja, who used seduction to catch enemies off guard before striking. Mai uses her bouncy ‘womanly attributes’ as a tactic in combat. As a male, you can’t blame me for developing a slight crush on her.
5. Sailor Moon (Sailor Moon)-Yeah sure, she has the same IQ as a pebble, she can’t even fight her own battles half the time, she’s unorganised and a complete mess…..but damn! She’s cute! Plus I suppose being so pathetic at everything in life including being a super hero will make me feel a little needed, which is nice. My life goal is to get with a cute Sailor Moon cosplayer….any takers, ladies?

I hope you all enjoyed learning about our crazy little crushes. Hey while you your waiting for part 2, maybe you would like to share your own with us 😀 leave a comment below with your top 5 if we think they are cool we might throw one of you over a prize.
Ubisoft has announced September 14th, 2011 as the offical release date for online racer Trackmania2 Canyon. In case you are unfamiliar with the series,Trackmania already boasts a player base of millions, and is a realistically styled arcade racer with a huge emphasis on creating your own custom content and sharing it with the community.
The sequel promises to be no different, with players able to build their own tracks, customise their cars and even write scripts for the game. The sequel will be the first title to make use of Nadeo’s new Maniaplanet system, which the studio hopes to build out to include other up and coming titles such as Shootmania and Questmania, integrating all of these online multiplayers into one giant community.
Trackmania2 Canyon also offers a huge multiplayer, with up to 200 players able to challenge each other on the same track, at the same time. In such massive races there are bound to be some stand out moments, and with the in-game studio players will have the ability to edit and save their race highlights in TV quality, or even show off their custom creations to the community.
Readers who happen to be hanging out in Cologne later this week can pop in to Gamescom where the game is being showcased by the Electronic Sporting League. The event will include an oppurtunity for hands on play, an invitation only pro gamer tournament, and the chance to challenge said pros at their own game. If a trip to Germany isn’t in your plans (and why not?) then head over to TrackMania’s official site, where from August 17 you can prepurchase the game and get guaranteed access to the multiplayer beta which opens on the very same day.

Over the years, THQ have published a ton of wrestling games, but none have ever had a true “create an arena” mode. Today, THQ Creative Director Cory Ledesma tweeted a simple confirmation that “Create an Arena” will be a part of WWE ’12, causing the entire fanbase to now speculate on how this bew mode will work.
This is quite an ambitious step for the genre as a whole, as we have never seen a whole arena customizable in a wrestling title to date. I will say though, as nice as this addition sounds, the Smackdown series is notorious for “2 steps forward, one step back” with the more recent entries, so I am going to approach this news with a bit of caution and hope the gameplay itself is a well polished product. Nothing is known as of now, but once details emerge for “Create an Arena”, we will be sure to keep you updated.
Whilst not yet confirmed in the UK, Doctor Who has recieved a return date from Australian television station ABC. According to a ABC listing, Doctor Who will return to Australian shores on the 3rd of September airing at 7:30pm.
This is much earlier than predicted return time of late September to early October. However there has yet to be an official announcement from the BBC. Thus, this can not be 100 percent confirmed as the return date. Though if you take into account the ABC’s past history of announcing airing dates of Doctor Who before the BBC, they have always been correct.
So there you go Whovians, September 3rd is the date Doctor Who will hit Australian television. Leave a comment below letting us know your thoughts.

Do you enjoy the delicacy of a nice, tasty banjo? Well, these vegetarian piranhas in Sauce Digital’s upcoming iPhone/iPad title Banjo Piranha do. In this little game, player’s take control of the fish by diving deep and then jumping high in the air to gobble up as many banjos as possible. I want to say I am reminded a bit of Angry Birds by the concept alone, but with an emphasis on collecting rather than destroying.
Features Include:
• Universal app for iPhone and iPad
• Gorgeous retina graphics
• Fab audio and great music
• 50+ stages of increasing difficulty
• Angry enemy piranhas
• Personal bests saved for; score, stages completed, banjos collected, biggest air and longest survival.
You can check out the southern-instrument eating fish in the trailer down below, and prepare yourself, as Banjo Piranha launches in Early September in the iTunes store.
A prequel to the upcoming Doctor Who episode Let’s Kill Hitler is set to make it’s way exclusively onto the official BBC website this Monday.

Let’s Kill Hitler will feature the Doctor and his companions as they travel to Nazi Germany and attempt to prevent Hitler from making the choices that made him become the most hated man to ever live.
The second half of the sixth season of Doctor Who will continue sometime in September, however no official date has been listed by the BBC. As more news comes to light we will keep you posted. Please leave a comment letting us know what you think.
That’s right, the Manga UK Blu-Ray release of XAM’D: Lost Memories has been cancelled after only having just released throughout the country. Why would Manga UK do such a thing, you ask? Well the release didn’t sell well to say the least. As a matter of fact, it sold only roughly 100 copies. Yes, only 100, in the entire country.
Now you may note the unusually high cost of anime in the UK as a part of the problem. You may be right, but regardless Manga UK is a company that needs to make money and it is really not worth investing any more time into something that only sold roughly 100 copies.
Leave a comment letting us know what you think of this cancellation.
