The Nintendo DS and 3DS game from WayForward, Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!!, was a bit slapdash, but overall entirely adorable. Short, sure, but fun. Cartoon Network and D3Publisher apparently heard the call for a longer, more expansive game, because it's been announced that WayForward is now developing Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW! for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and once again the Nintendo 3DS. Yeah, that's a thing that's happening.

On the off chance that you haven't been waiting obsessively for this day to come like I have, here's the good news: You can now stream Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Robot Chicken, and many more excellent shows via Netflix. We've known they'd be dropping since the middle of January, but now it's finally happened, and it's glorious.

Would you ever think that the producers of kid-friendly fare like The Fairly OddParents and Adventure Time would work to bring comic book writer/artist James Kochalka's Top Shelf Productions comic series SuperF*ckers to animated life? Probably not, and yet here we are. With a first season slated to be aired well into early 2013 and appearing as a joint exclusive between the official SuperF*ckers and Cartoon Hangover YouTube channels, you have absolutely no reason to miss the trashiest super hero comedy to date!

Boom! Studios, the company behind the mathematical comic adaptation of Adventure Time and the glorious spin-off Marceline and the Scream Queens, appear to be teasing what might very well be a gender-swapped version of the original comic. One of the most popular episodes of Adventure Time saw Finn and Jake and the rest of the cast have their genders swapped to produce Fionna and Cake. Hit the jump for the full image.

It's pretty clear that we here at Geekosystem have a thing for Adventure Time. It's not an observation; it's fact. There's something about Pendleton Ward's creation that's oddly endearing while being strangely hilarious. We even interviewed the man. So when a 4.5 foot statue of Finn, made out of over 4,000 wooden cubes, goes on sale, it's something that interests us. Etsy user Evan Henry has crafted what is certainly the heftiest Adventure Time work to date, and it'll only run you $950.

The newest teaser trailer for Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd you steal our garbage?! showcases that the game will be cribbing heavily from its forerunners. With side-scrolling straight out of Mega Man and what looks like a Legend of Zelda-inspired overworld, the Nintendo 3DS game is liable to sate the desire of many folks who've been waiting for a new game in the old style. And, of course, those who just can't get enough Adventure Time will love it regardless.

Pendleton Ward talks like you'd expect the creator of an anarchic frenetic, cartoon like Adventure Time with Finn and Jake to talk. His sentences often circle back on themselves, tinged with a West Coast laid-backness, which again seems quite commensurate with his job. But as cool and fun as his show is, it also has a big heart which was just as present when Ward spoke.

Adventure Time and the animated films of Hayao Miyazaki are easily two of my favorite forms of eye candy. Now, the 17-year old (!!!) Deighvid has brought those two worlds (three if you count all the AT gender-swapped characters) together in his amazing fanart mashups. They're wonderful. See them all, after the break.

Popular madcap animated series Adventure Time frequently plays with video game tropes in its story lines, which makes it all the more exciting that an official game called Legends of Ooo: Big Hollow Princess has come to iOS. If you're a fan of pointing, clicking, and adventure, then this might be the best $0.99 you spend today.

Artist Mike Gaboury dreamed a beautiful dream of an Adventure Time video game, and decided to share just a piece of that dream with us. Working in his spare time, and for no reward other than his love for the show, Gaboury animated the intro and start screen to an imaginary side-scrolling retro-style Adventure Time game. Though it's just a fan project, it is a tantalizing to think of what a full-fledged AT game in this style would be like. See the video, after the break.

This morning, the 2010 Primetime Emmy Award nominations were announced. And while that's generally exciting for a TV nerd such as myself, this is a system for geeks you're reading on. So I have embarked on an epic mission: I am going through all the nominations (not just the elitist ones that actually get into the televised awards show), category by category, to provide a full-on geek perspective. The only ones that shall be skipped are those with no good geeky offerings, or the ones where you don't even know what the name of the category means. In other words, here's everything that matters to a geeky television viewer. For reference and your personal knowledge-accumulating pleasure, here is the full list of nominees. For those of you who care more about which shows prevailed, here is the nomination summary, that just states number of nominations per program without specifying the categories. I'm going to be going in order through the categories as they appear in the full list linked above so that it's easy for you to follow along at home. Ready? Let's begin.
