Nova now on Hulu!

I know it may seem like I'm gushing a little much over Hulu, but we are now 4 days into Hulu's Days of Summer promotion and already we've been given some real gem's. So far Hulu has added 2 movies, Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, as well the slapstick classics The Three Stooges 1934-1936.(see the widget toward the bottom of this very page!) Thursdays new addition has me down right giddy. Now available to watch on Hulu.com is arguably television best documentary series NOVA. NOVA has been a long time PBS favorite of mine, the documentary is always interesting, intelligent and fair. Check out a couple of episodes below or click HERE to view all the episodes posted on Hulu. The only real downside I can see is now we have to sit through 2 commercials in the beginning instead of one





Have your own mutated abomination ready for Spore


I still don't really know what to expect from the much hyped upcoming game Spore. I do know I am excited about it! Why? you may ask. Will Wright thats why. Will Wright is mostly known as "Game God" because he is one of the founders of Maxis and creators of Sim City and The Sims. While not all of Will's games have been as successful (I'm looking at you SimCopter) even games like SimAnt can catch the imagination for hours.

What is spore? Spore's official website describes the game; "With Spore you can nurture your creature through five stages of evolution: Cell, Creature, Tribe, Civilization, and Space. Or if you prefer, spend as much time as you like making creatures, vehicles, buildings and spaceships with Spore’s unique Creator tools.CREATE Your Universe from Microscopic to Macrocosmic - From tide pool amoebas to thriving civilizations to intergalactic starships, everything is in your hands."

So if you are anything like me I know you want to download the creature creator and start playing Intelligent Designer like I did.

Watch a clip of the game play HERE

Watch Edward Norton and The Incredible Hulk here for free!

I know the post title is a little misleading, but I got something your gonna like...

Before you get all angry and Hulk out, Hulu.com has some of that Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno goodness for you to check it out!



And you can see Edward Norton match wits with Anthony Hopkins in the latest edition to Hannibal Lecter's bloody big screen saga, Red Dragon

Oh! Just FYI because Red Dragon is rated R Hulu requires you register a free account before you watch. But no worries, as of yet I haven't received any spam from Hulu.com

Watch Disney Movies Online Free!


Ah how I love this new age of free streaming entertainment! But I never thought Disney in all of their super double special edition for the first time ever on (enter format here) would be streaming movies! Over on Disney.com the Mouse and company will let you watch whatever movie they showcased on Wonderful World of Disney that week on ABC. Once Wonderful World of Disney airs the movie is accessible and the last movie is taken down (typical limited edition Disney shenanigans) this week the Pixar classic Finding Nemo is showcased, next week Monsters INC. unless your reading this next month and in that case it's anybody's guess. Follow the link HERE, than click the TV button on the menu bar at the top then click Wonderful World of Disney (I know it's a movie but it's on TV, DON'T QUESTION THE MOUSE OK!?)

Free Flash Fun!


Today's Free Flash Fun is an addictive little game called "Dirk Valentine And The Fortress Of Steam." Dirk is a platformer style of game where you control a small soldier armed with only a chain gun (think Bionic Commando's arm) which you must use to both destroy wandering enemies and create your self bridges over obstacles. To play Dirk you need to use both the keyboard and mouse so lap tops with touch pads and smart phones might have a tough time enjoying Dirk Valentine, but I think most flash gamers will be pleased with this clever little platformer from Nitrome.com

Daily Show, Colbert Report, Hulk and more added to Hulu!


Welcome back to Palaba's Posts! I'm sorry for the lengthy leave of absence but I'm proud to say I am, as of May 25, a happily married man. We were married on the shore of the Chester River (Chesapeake Bay) on Maryland's beautiful eastern shore. But I know thats not why you're here, you're here for the free stuff. This post marks a new beginning for us here at Palaba's Posts. It had come to my attention that you the readers of Palaba's Posts were more interested in the links to all the free entertainment on the web and less interested in what I have to say. So with that in mind we are re-dedicating our e-existence to bringing you the finest free entertainment these inter-webs have to offer. In the future I pledge more fun less hyphens!

As many readers know I am a huge fan of the site Hulu.com and now my unhealthy obsession grows again! Hulu has added The Daily Show and The Colbert Report to it's already massive offerings of content. Also if you need a little more Lou Ferrigno in your life (and let's be honest, who doesn't?) Hulu has also added the 70's classic The Incredible Hulk in what I can only imagine is for Marvel's latest big screen offering.

Here's a couple of vid's to get you started:
