AGE OF ULTRON CASTING NEWS! ULTRON ACTOR NAMED!
In a surprise casting move, Marvel has announced the actor that will be portraying the titular villain in the 2015 blockbuster sequel to the record-breaking Avengers film.
According to science fiction website Through the Jumpgate, unconfirmed reports have it that Ultron, the artificial intelligence with an adamantium robotic body, will be portrayed by the star of Seth MacFarlane’s 2012 comedy, “Ted.” And if you are picturing Mark Wahlberg, think again.
Ted the Bear will reportedly be tackling the role in what might be the most divisive superhero-movie casting choice since Ben Affleck was announced to be taking on the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in the upcoming sequel to this year’s “Man of Steel.” Unnamed sources are quoted as saying, “When [Affleck] was announced as the next Batman, the internet caught fire. And not in the good, hot rumors and theorizing way. I mean, in the ‘smoke is coming up and things are exploding and demons are screaming in the bowels of hell’ kind of way. It was really surprising, since aside from a few missteps in his career, Ben is quite a capable actor and director. But we figured that if everyone was distracted by that news, we could slip this bit of casting out there and people probably wouldn’t even notice.” Attempts by Through the Jumpgate to reach Ted the Bear for comment were met with a confused voice on the phone saying, “you’re trying to call a fucking bear? Who is this?”
Cracked World View is now on YouTube!
That’s right, my wonderfuls! I have just launched the official YouTube channel for Cracked World View. The header and background for this blog have also been redesigned to match the YouTube page, thanks to the work of PlanetRise Design. At the time of this posting there are two videos available, with 3 more in the editing process. It’s a work-in-progress, and I’ll need all the feedback I can get to make it better as time goes on. Visit the CrackedWorldView channel using the link below, and help us spread the word!
T-Shirt Contest
So I entered a T-shirt design contest. The winners are chosen by the number of votes their designs receive. The winner(s) receive a cash prize, and likely their design on a t-shirt that people can actually buy and wear! In public and shit! It’s rather amazing! And oh yeah…it’s a Star Trek design contest.
Here’s the thing; I don’t have many friends, and could use some help with the whole ‘getting votes’ thing. I am including links to all five of my designs, and would love some votes to help me out.
Fringe Poll Results
With a grand total of…four votes, the Fringe Opening Sequence Poll is now closed. Four out of the five choices received one vote each, so instead of crowning a winner, we now declare the Season 4 Opening Sequence to be the Loser!
A new Poll has been created, so look for it on the right hand sidebar. It is more personal and more depressing than Sci-Fi television show intros, so prepare for that.
Mike Birbiglia
He is hilarious, he is poignant, and he’s even a nice guy. Ladies and gentlemen, Mike Birbiglia performed in my city tonight, and I got to meet him. A good night was had.

Holy crap! It’s me!
Frozen pizza + Oscar Meyer chicken slices + smokey links + extra cheese + oregano = magical food coma recipe.
Don’t call it a comeback. I wasn’t really here the first time.
I am refocusing on being more productive in a creative sense, as a kind of resolution for the new year. To that end I created a new blog, moved all the content from my old blog to it, changed up the design, added a few other fun things, and am commanding myself to post as often as possible.
I would appreciate any feedback you have, whoever you may be. Sharing blog posts, comments, following the blog, and so on. I hope at least some of you enjoy whatever I come up with to throw at the internet.
