Geeks of Doom Invades: Dragon*Con 2011

D*CTV, the good folks who provide video entertainment to the 40,000 convention attendees at Dragon*Con, has released a new sketch that picks fun at two characters that are either extremely loved or extremely hated the world over: Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.

Below is the video they produced parodying the 1989 romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally — only using the two most popular characters from Twilight.

From the video description:

“Want to watch a movie about two people who communicate poorly and take far too long to hook up? Well, enough about Billy Crystal movies … here’s a Twilight parody.

At conventions filled with costumed geeks, they don’t have regular competitions of athleticism. No, they do something far better, such as the first ever Tauntaun Sleeping Bag Race at Dragon*Con 2010, which is planned to be an annual event.

For those that aren’t familiar with the reference, online retailer ThinkGeek produces a sleeping bag that resembles the creature Han Solo slices open and places Luke Skywalker into for warmth on the planet Hoth during the first classic Star Wars sequel Empire Strikes Back [Read Must Own: The Famed “˜Star Wars’ Tauntaun Sleeping Bag Is Now A Reality!]

Organizer geeky costumer Juliette Vincent decided to contact ThinkGeek about sponsoring a race, which they agreed to do if Dragon*Con would officially recognize it in their programing.

The top three winners of the race received prizes and a small legion of respect from onlookers. We of course captured this epic display of athleticism in the shaky videos embedded below.

Check them out and offer your play-by-play opinions in the comment section.

We don’t necessarily need to do much of an introduction for the 40 notable photos taken by Geeks of Doom photographer Derek Deweese (and a few by myself, which you can tell by the crappy quality of my iPhone 3G) at Dragon*Con 2010.

You can imagine the difficulty in sifting through your photos each night when there are five convention-sized hotels filled with costumed geeks. To do this over the good part of a week, well, you can see why it might be *somewhat* of a task.

But, alas, check out our last batch of photo coverage of this year’s Dragon*Con after the jump.

It takes about a full week to recover from Dragon*Con, which is why we’re just now getting the final part of our Cosplay Babes of Dragon*Con 2010 photo feature posted on the site.

You might also notice that there are 10 more cosplay ladies than the last two posts.

This was not an accident and was done lovingly since we didn’t want to hold out any longer. So, without further adieu check out the photo gallery after the jump.

Dragon*Con 2010: Watch Now: Venture Bros. Creators Turn Panel Into ’70s Talkshow

The minds behind Adult Swim hit show The Venture Bros. Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer — decided to meet their adoring fans differently for their Dragon*Con 2010 panel by setting up some comfy chairs, a coffee table and cheesy ’70’s music that played whenever the pair wasn’t speaking.

Call it convention fatigue or boredom, but Publick and Hammer thought it would be better to treat the scheduled time as an old school talkshow — Maury Povich style. They took turns running through the crowded ballroom allowing fans to ask questions and receive a rose if it was deemed worthy of answering.

We captured the whole thing on a shaky, amateurishly handled FlipCam and have subsequently uploaded the videos to YouTube, which you can watch below.

Some of the high points include Bill Hader replacing the voice of Stephen Cobert as Professor Richard Impossible, why a Venture Bros. feature-length film is probably a bad idea and lots of news regarding who will be back for the last part of the season.

Check out the embedded video after the jump.
