Futurama Returning with Full Original Cast After All

How did we miss this news?! Thanks to the mighty power of nerd outrage, Futurama will be returning to TV with all of its original voices intact rather than with soundalikes. More »

Live Futurama in 2009 with the W200 Wrist Computer

Jason Chen asked me a simple question this morning. "How big of a nerd would you be to use a wearable computer in 2009? In 2030 it's super normal. But in 2009, man." More »

Zapp Brannigan Ray Gun For Sale (Only Shot Once At Disgruntled Underling)

If you suffer from that sexiest of learning disabilities (ugh, sexlexia), you too might enjoy shooting off your Zapp Brannigan Atomic Ray Gun at unsuspecting bystanders. The gun itself is based off of Japanese Ray Guns of the 1950s—as is a bunch of the retro stylings of the Futurama set—but updated to include your favorite starship captain. It also comes with a NRRA membership card in case you need to get a table really fast at Applebee's. [Tin Toy Arcade via Nerd Approved]

Futurama: Bender's Game DVD Preview

The second Futurama DVD hasn't even stopped spinning in our drives and we're already looking forward to the third one. It's a much geekier affair than even Futurama fans are used to, as they're delving into the world of Dungeons and Dragons. Will this Ender's Game Futurama movie be any good? We're pretty sure it will, seeing as the Kirk and Spock heads are back, and that was probably one of the best episodes ever.

Beast With a Billion Backs, New Futurama DVD, Out Today

Today is June 24 and, for Futurama fans, that can only mean one thing: the latest offering from Matt Groening and Co. is out today. Beast With A Billion Backs is a "depraved, yet sensuous" episode that, according to head writer and producer David X. Cohen, refers to as "disturbing." (Yay!) "There is certainly more of an adult theme in this film than the average Futurama episode" he adds. With David Cross voicing the Beast (everyone's favorite gymnophobic, Dr Tobias Fünke), Beast With a Billion Backs welcomes back a whole bunch of familiar faces—and voices, which include Professor Stephen Hawking. Trailer is below. More »

Bender Webcam Records You Doing Disgusting Things, Meatbag

Reader Matt heard my pleas when I saw the Mr. Burns webcam and decided to take it upon himself to create a one of a kind Bender webcam from scratch. Well, not exactly from scratch—he used a pre-made Bender and a pre-made Creative Live! Video cam—but he did somehow shove the two together to make one insanely great peripheral. What would make this even better than it already is is if Bender could respond to whatever you were doing, ordering you to bite his shiny metal ass or exclaiming that he's back, baby. Nice work, Matt. [EBAY]

Mr. Burns Webcam is Nice, But It's No Futurama

Staring into Mr. Burns' desk when you're making Skype calls with your friends is nice and all (and for a price of $49 it's hard to argue with it), but it's no Futurama. What we'd really like is a Bender webcam, or a Fry webcam, or a Professor webcam, or a Robot Devil webcam, or a Scruffy webcam—pretty much anything from the Futurama universe. I guess what we're trying to say is that Futurama rules and should not have been cancelled. [ThinkGeek via Random Good Stuff via DVice]

I was waiting for someone else to announce the show's return to television so I wouldn't get clobbered if I had any information that was inaccurate!
