$5 MP3 Album Deal: Dio – Holy Diver Posted: 29 Dec 2011 08:24 PM PST If someone wanted to know what heavy metal music is, you could do a lot worse than hand them a copy of Dio's finest work, Holy Diver. Amazon is currently offering you the chance to download Holy Diver for $5 as part of their December 100 MP3 Deals for $5. "Stand Up And Shout," "Holy Diver," and "Rainbow In The Dark" are among the greatest metal tunes ever written with some huge guitar riffs. This is one of the greatest metal albums of all time. [...]

Video: ‘Modern Family’ As A Horror Movie Posted: 29 Dec 2011 06:13 PM PST There's something wholly amusing about taking something popular and re-editing it to look like it belongs in a completely different genre than it does. It's been done plenty of times before, and it's been done again here with the hit sitcom Modern Family. Scriptwrecked has taken the comedy and put together a lengthy five-minute-long movie trailer presenting it as a new horror movie along the same lines of an Orphan or The Good Son. [...]

Buy A Batman Print, Help An Artist In Need Posted: 29 Dec 2011 03:53 PM PST Artist Madeleine Flores, creator of the comic The Girl and the Gorilla, was recently ended up in the emergency room in a neck brace and thanks to her lack of healthcare plan, she now has some unexpected large medical bills to pay off. Therefore, she's lowered the prices on some of her artwork over at her site Little Love Monster. She's got some really cute stuff, like the Batman-themed print at top here called Batman and Friends, which you can purchase. You'd not only be supporting an indie comics creator and artist, but helping out someone in need who could use the money for their medical bills [...]

Chinese Man Spends $16,000 On ‘Age Of Wulin’ Video Game Sword Posted: 29 Dec 2011 12:34 PM PST Millions of people spend small amounts of money to obtain virtual items for their video game characters or avatars to wear and use proudly. But how many people do you know have spent a small fortune for one single video game item? A Chinese man did just that, paying $16,000 for a one-of-a-kind sword in the upcoming martial arts MMO, Age of Wulin. The man won the honor of paying such a price for the virtual item through an auction put on by Snail Games, the maker of the title. Other notable acquisitions included two sheathes---one for the Hook of Departure and one for a Lordly Spear---which sold for $2,500 and $1,600. You can see a trailer for the game below. [...]

Comic Review: Star Wars: Crimson Empire III – Empire Lost #3 Posted: 29 Dec 2011 10:03 AM PST Star Wars: Crimson Empire III - Empire Lost #3 Written by Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley Pencils by Paul Gulacy Colors by Michael Bartolo Cover Art by Dave Dorman Dark Horse Comics Release Date: December 28, 2011 Cover Price: $3.50 The ongoing Crimson Empire III saga continues, now in its third issue, opening with a surprise appearance by Han Solo – with a story that finally progresses with more action and decision by our main character, former Imperial Guard Kir Kanos, swept and maneuvered into actions that are (perhaps) beyond his control. Following the previous issue, which was mildly disappointing due to the lack of Kanos, the third issue quickly rectifies this with a great deal of interaction with (and action taken by) our main character. Detained by Boba Fett and delivered into the hands of a rogue Imperial operation (unsanctioned by Admiral Pellaeon), Kanos discovers that the man in charge of the hidden base is a man called Devian [...]

The Princess Leia (Or Princess Vespa) Headphones You’ve Been Waiting For! Posted: 29 Dec 2011 08:31 AM PST One of Princess Leia's iconic traits in the Star Wars universe is her dual-bunned hairstyle. Many have worn it (or tried to wear it) since then, but now it can be so much easier and more useful than before. JacquieLongLegs has created some Princess Leia headphones, which can be purchased right now on Etsy. And though these are Princess Leia headphones, there is no denying their being a nice replica of the headphones wore by Princess Vespa in Mel Brooks' Star Wars parody, Spaceballs...which might make them even more fun to own. [...]
