overtime is over now…
written by geoffrey on 09/30/08 11 comments


hey all,

has it really been a little over two years since our first true post (when we briefly still used capital letters, apparently)?  it feels like overtime’s been around for a long time, which is why it’s my sad duty to report that the site won’t be continuing.

fnuh?? yeah, i know it sucks.  i think we’re all burned out on the video blog format & the overtime “brand” in general, and we’re looking to move on to newer, fresher projects.  we’re still out there, just not here.

on behalf of all the overtime writers, we’d like to thank you for making our odd site a regular part of your week, dilligently answering trivia questions and writing comments.  we hope you’ll continue to follow the sites of our staff…

tabs, new cake, and more…
written by overtime on 02/09/08 2 comments


we made some awesome changes to the site today. here’s a run-down:

1. tabs up top, which highlight our running features like weekly trivia and saturday morning cartoons.

2. new cake! we got sick of having our dumb mugs on the thing, so we turned it into a terrified person.

3. we’re broadening our fucking horizons. we’re gonna blog everyday on retro culture, like usual, but over time we’re gonna start blogging on other stuff geeks like, which may or may not be retro related. to start, the “strange internet,” which includes pointless mashups and weird youtube oddities.

in conclusion, enjoy our slightly different website!

help beowulf by not seeing “beowulf”
written by asterios on 11/16/07 leave a comment


here’s what beowulf would be like with legos.

well, we all knew this would happen. we’ve been faced with a choice: go see beowulf this weekend, or instead, give that 10 dollars to help over half a million people displaced by cyclone sidr.

on one hand, beowulf is a pretty great movie. i saw it, and have to say, the acting was impeccable, particularly anthony hopkins. on the other hand, earlier today, an entire island in the barisal district was submerged under six feet of water, causing homes to be literally swept away and destroyed…
