| Check Out The Full Trailer For ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 2 Posted: 29 Sep 2011 05:55 PM PDT  It should go without saying that one of the most hotly discussed television series set to come back this fall has to be AMC's The Walking Dead. Finally getting the chance to breath with a full season order following a six-episode debut season, AMC has gone and debuted the full-length trailer for the new season, and I must say, it looks better than ever [...] |
| Fan Prints Out All ‘Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion’ In-Game Books, Creates One Incredible Volume Posted: 29 Sep 2011 04:04 PM PDT  This has to be one of the coolest things I've seen made from a fictional video game world, and someone needs to make this bad boy into a reality for the rest of us video game uber–nerds. Reddit user notadoctoreither took every single book you can read on your lengthy journey through The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, printed them all out, and compiled them into one massive tome of Elder Scrolls lore. And the result is exquisite. The book is perfect in every way—in look, in font, and in overall presentation. It's something that every fan of the games would kill to own, and for that very reason, I'm both depressed at my inability to be so crafty and jealous of this man's talents! You can see some images of the book by clicking on over to the other side now! [...] |
| Comic Review: Jenny Finn: Doom Messiah Posted: 29 Sep 2011 02:12 PM PDT  Jenny Finn: Doom Messiah Written by Mike Mignola and Troy Nixey Art by Troy Nixey (Chapters 1-3), Farel Dalrymple (Chapter 4) Letters by Pat Brosseau (Chapters 1-2), Ed Dukeshire (Chapters 3-4) Cover by Mike Mignola with Colors by Dave Stewart BOOM! Studios Release Date: September 28, 2011 Cover Price: $14.99 Strange things are happening in London, England. There is a murderer going around killing prostitutes, the town's men are being transformed into odd half-man half-sea creatures, and there is an overwhelming sense of doom in the air. With such odd occurrences, it isn't safe for a young girl to walk about town, is it? Well that depends on who that girl is. In Mike Mignola and Troy Nixey's Jenny Finn: Doom Messiah, nothing is as it seems. Fisherman bring in the day's catch on a London day like any other. The streets are bustling with people as a young girl named Jenny Finn makes her way around town. Jenny catches the attention of an out-of-towner named Joe who can't help himself but to seek her out and introduce himself. He is concerned for her safety, as the treacherous streets of London are no place for an innocent young girl. Jenny agrees with him, but insists that she is far from innocent. Her reputation has made its way around town, and soon Joe will know that Jenny is a unique and complex individual [...] |
| Must See: 24 Paintings Of Celebrities As Russian Generals Posted: 29 Sep 2011 01:58 PM PDT  At one time or another, you've probably seen one of the paintings that various people in a position of power have had commissioned of themselves. One particularly notable portrait out there is that of the Russian general, which someone has taken to an extremely entertaining new level. George Dawe, an English portrait artist who has painted 329 portraits of Russian generals, uses a digital copy of his work as a basis to add his friends, family, and some celebrities into the paintings using Photoshop. So far he's done a bunch of celebrities, and most of them look amazing. If we didn't know who these people were, you wouldn't think twice about whether most of them were a legit Russian general or not. Some look a little off such as Sean Connery, for example, who looks as though he's just passed gas in a room full of people, and is pleased that none of them can figure out who it was. Continue on below now to check out the pictures, and to the source link for even more. [...] |
| ‘The Walking Dead’ Prequel Webisodes to Launch Two Weeks Before Season 2 Premiere Posted: 29 Sep 2011 10:59 AM PDT  In preparation for the October 16 season premiere of their hit horror series The Walking Dead, AMC is launching a series of six webisodes that documents the onslaught of the zombie apocalypse from the perspective of one of the show's most memorable living dead characters. You can check out a behind-the-scenes still from the making-of the webisodes below this article [...] |
| Watch ‘Star Trek’ Star Zachary Quinto Play Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock Posted: 29 Sep 2011 10:15 AM PDT  Way back in November 2008, the CBS comedy Big Bang Theory had an episode called The Lizard-Spock Expansion where the characters played a game of their own creation called Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock, a variation on the classic game. In a recent video interview to promote his upcoming film Margin Call, Zachary Quinto, who played the young Spock in the new 2009 Star Trek movie, was asked by the interviewer to play the game. Quinto apparently had never heard of it, but played it anyway. Check out the humorous video here below [...] |
| Ever Wondered What The Heavy Metal Version Of ‘Shadow Of The Colossus’ Would Sound Like? Posted: 29 Sep 2011 09:19 AM PDT  If you call yourself a "gamer" and have never played Shadow of the Colossus, it's time to get on that immediately. And as luck would have it, Sony Computer Entertainment has just released a special new remastered high definition collection of the game paired with another beloved title, Ico (which you can pick up here). If you happen to be into metal AND games, well, then do I have a treat for you. YouTube user ferdk16 has put together a medley video of himself rocking out some of the music of Shadow of the Colossus on an electric guitar...and it's pretty gosh darn epic. You can check out the video by clicking on over to the other side now. [...] |
| Check Out This Zombie Map of the World Posted: 29 Sep 2011 07:56 AM PDT  More zombie fun facts! A new Google map shows where zombie lovers, like me, are doing our keyword searches for the word 'zombies' (see above). It seems most of us who doing these searches are English-speaking city-dwellers, not, as I would have thought based on The Serpent and the Rainbow, in Haiti where such things as zombies possibly do exist. Maybe they just call it something else there? Apparently, 'zombie' is an Anglicized word. I don't know. But I do know that anything zombie related is a-okay in my book [...] |
