10 Best Things of June 2011

1-2. Gay marriage legal in NY

Now, if only my fatcat congressmen voted on the MMA bill, I would have been very happy this month.


3. Game of Thrones, "Baelor"

Truly shocking, highly entertaining pen-ultimate episode. One of those moments where you witness great television.


4. Alamo Drafthouse's PSA on talking during the movies

This viral video produced by the great minds behind the Alamo Drafthouse reminded everyone to shut the hell up.


5. UFC Live: Kongo vs. Barry

Two great knockouts and an underdog story that made the night. Matt Mitrione's classy stroll after blasting Morecraft was awesome.


6. HBO Documentaries

Rewatch Bobby Fisher's downward spiral over again.


7. Michael Fassbender in X-Men: First Class

Stole the show from everyone and everything in the superhero revamp. Not even the Wolverine cameo could match him. Well, almost.


8. The immense scorn of Duke Nukem: Forever

The absolute best display of the horrors of the 14 year-in-the-making game was Far From Subtle's four hour live show where the enthusiasm and joy was draining out of the crew.


9. Super 8

Very mint, indeed.


10. Power Rangers comes to Netflix

Now I can enjoy the Green Ranger Saga again when not groaning at the bad comedy of a talking robot and the outdated clothing attires everyone wears.
