I like Star Wars and making my house look good.
Check out these awesome Star Wars Mobiles that you can get from a dealer on Etsy. If your house needs a little sprucing up but you don’t want to shed your geek credibility then you gotta check these things out. It’s professionally made by artist Andrea Leggitt (SaltyandSweet) and they are very sharp little cut outs (sharp like attractive, not like they’ll cut you).
There are plenty of varieties on her Etsy store like Shadow of the Colussus, Zombies and Ninja versions. Pretty cool and they only cost about $30 each. Give Her site a look.
I can’t get the Bed Intruder song out of my head!
Maybe you’re like me and you saw this auto tuned video of Antoine Dodson on the news. And maybe you’re like me and you fell in love with the song.
It’s such a simple and clever idea, turn an internet meme in to something catchy and musical. Nothing gets stuck in your head and passed around so much as a clever song. Have fun getting this one stuck in you head for the rest of the weekend! See you guys back on Monday.
These people built an underwatter Bubble Room. I think that’s cool.
Sometimes things just make sense
I know there are a lot of people out there like me who can’t stand when they have a good meal in front of them with no way to eat it like a civilized person. Missing utensils is the worst thing ever. Whether you’re getting take out, to-go or something else, you want to be able to chow down like a normal person. With Din-Ink you can!
all you need is a pen or a pen-like object to use as a handle and slip the cap on the end to turn it in to a proper spoon, fork or knife. So cool! I want to keep a set in my glovebox for emergency picnics. Best of all is that they’re cheap.
Something seems different with Full Metal Jacket
The above clip is Sort of NSFW, but use your common sense. Okay, we all know that Full Metal Jacket is a pretty intense movie, the first half of it alone has more curse words than a pirate divorce hearing. But there is something about this clip that just makes me laugh my face off. When you turn R. Lee Ermy’s normal, grating drill instructor’s voice in to the blathering sound of Donald Duck it’s pretty much the best thing on the internet.
Imagine right now what the scientist back in the 60′s and 70′s were thinking about when they were building the foundations of the internet, do you think they knew what we were going to do with it? I like to think so.
Saw Scott Pilgrim over the weekend, got to say I liked it.
I’ve never read any of the Scott Pilgrim comic books, but I liked all of the trailers I saw before it came out. And despite everyone jumping off the Michael Cera wagon I still like the guy. So I went to go see the movie over the weekend and I have to say that it won me over. I get that it’s kind of a goofy idea for a movie, a guy has to fight all the exes of his new girlfriends, but when you think about it, since when do people break in to song with choreographed dance numbers in real life? Parts of this movie you have to take with a grain of salt, but once you get in to the mood of the movie it becomes much more fun and entertaining.
Overall, I liked the movie; it was light and goofy and fast-paced. Perfect for a summer action/comedy. I’d see it again.
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days review
Turns out most of you didn’t have a copy of K&L2 OR R6V2. Well, we ended up playing a little co-op K&L last night and if I had to sum up that game in one word it would be “Shaky”.
Most of the time the shaky is a good thing, it makes the game feel like it was filmed by someone other than the characters you play as, just how a movie is filmed by a cameraman who is not in the film. But sometimes, especially when running, or when you are surrounded by enemies and being shot at, the camera becomes this rotating, swirling lense with no gravity. You can get, not motion-sick, but motion-bored maybe? They kind of overdo it is what I’m saying.
Aside from that, the look of the game is a desaturated, bleached-out run through the underworld of Shanghai. You spend more time in sweatshops and rainslick backalleys than in any normal video game locations like “Warehouse A” or ” Office Complex #2″. It’s gritty and it’s messy.
Over all, it’s a nice change. I’m in to the game, and plan on finishing it in the week. I can’t wait to see what multiplayer has to offer. I hear it’s good.

The Trailer for Bioshock: Infinite is breathtaking
The first Bioshock was a masterpiece of gaming. It was loved by almost every person. That doesn’t happen very often. Then they let another team make the crapy sequel, and NOW they’re making a sequel/prequel to the original called Bioshock: Infinite. And the trailer looks absolutely incredible. From the looks of the trailer, you’re in a flying city, with telekenetic powers and metalo-men. I gota say, this looks pretty awesome.
We need to put Toy Story, Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect together for real now!
It took me a few minutes of looking at this picture before I completely understood what I was looking at. I saw John Marston from Red Dead, but then I saw Buzz Lightyear, or was it Shepard from Mass Effect? No Wait Oh, AAh! Now I get it!
It’s kind of funny to think that the characters that people play with as children can also be used by grown ups in their video games, huh? That’s what I was thinking.
