Comic-Con '09

Dana Vinson has been poking fun at booth babes for a long time. As a matter of fact, if there was a degree in it, she'd have long-ago graduated with honors. However, we thought it would be funny if Dana were made to spend a little time on the other side of the fence, so, at Comic-Con '09, she donned her mother's 30-year-old majorette costume and hit the floor, to see what it's really like.

What she got was a lesson in humility. What you'll get is about 5 minutes of hilarity. Seriously, check it out.

Check out this bonus video from Comic-Con '09, where G4tv.com Reporter Chrystall Friedemann takes to the waiting line to talk to the assembled freaks and geeks about the things they've been waiting in some cases as many as two days to see.

The upcoming Stargate Universe, coming in October to the spiffy new SyFy Network, is purported to be a grittier, darker, and sexier look at the world of Stargate. Starring Robert Carlyle (Begby from Trainspotting) and Ming-Na (ER), among others, the show was quite the point of curiosity at this year's Comic-Con.

Luckily, we were able to talk with four of the stars of the show, including Carlyle and Ming-Na, about their view of the show and its place in the Stargate universe, as well as their impressions of Comic-Con. Check it out!

The Warriors: Street Brawl is due out September 2009 on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Comedy’s Steve Agee and Scott Chernoff have been friends for a long time. A very long, long time. Before Agee hit it big with Comedy Central’s hit show The Sarah Silverman Program. Before Chernoff struck internet comedy gold with The Legend Of Neil, Adult Swim's Kitten Vs. Newborn and Videogame Theater.

Yes, they were ounce members of the prestigious improve troop The Groundlings together, and now have moved on and apart with such endeavors as Steve’s voiceover appearance in Brutal Legend and upcoming Atom Films series The Berry Agee Experiment, and Scott’s contributor gig on The Tonight Show.

So where are they now? Bickering on G4tv.com, that’s where. Just watch them. And feel sorry for them. They have to live with each other.

Astroboy, the video game, should delight fans of both gaming and anime -- the movie tie-in 2D side-scroller pulls heavily on classic games of the past, and features a main character who seems almost totally designed for starring in an action game. It will be out for the PS2, Wii, DS and PSP when the movie is released in 2010.

We got a chance to try this game out at Comic-Con 2009 and chat with producer Cameron Raines and got the inside word on the game. Check it out in the video below!

What better way to spend a hot, sweaty Comic-Con afternoon than hanging with Playboy’s Shannon Twins as they hand out free ice cream cones to their adoring fans?

Yes, Kristina and Karissa Shannon were kind enough to hand out copies of the latest issue of the magazine (the one with G4’s own Olivia Munn on the cover!) along with yummy ice cream cones and even found time to chat with G4 about such important issues as what is their favorite flavor of ice cream, their favorite videogames, and exactly how hot Olivia Munn really is.

Yes, it was just that kinda of day, folks. Sometimes life is good.
