Lunchables Just Got Hard (NSFW)


Well, I certainly don't remember anything like this in the 90's, but it's possible I hid it deep within my memories. Either way, YouTube mastermind, MikeDiva has once again impressed me. I've been posting quite a few NSFW work pieces lately, so if you're at work I apologize, but this is definitely slightly NSFW.

6 Neon Posters By Mr Whaite

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles an hour... (Via)
I absolutely love this idea. Mr. Whaite, an artist on Tumblr is a pop artist who likes to take classic movies and bring them back with a neon twist. If these were actually manufactured, I think they'd probably sell like hot cakes. A fantastic idea executed brilliantly by Mr Whaite, and he's got a tumblr full of them! Check out five more neon posters of various movies after the break!

Dogs Arguing



Huskies are absolutely awesome. Watch this very vocal husky couple go at it over a rawhide chew, with subtitles of course for non dog speakers. The politics of being a dog can be very complex, especially when alpha hierarchy is involved.

Meet Your New Spider-Man (In The Ultimate Universe)

Meet the Spider-man (Via)
Marvel, ahead of the release of Ultimate Fallout tomorrow, has revealed to USA today the big twist we've been waiting for; we finally know who replaces Peter Parker as Spider-Man within the Ultimate Spider-man series. Who is it? Find out after the jump. I'm not going to lie, you'll be very surprised.

Goldfish: Fort Knox



I've heard the head bob worthy Fort Knox track, especially on the recent American Kia Soul advertising campaigns..But I never saw the incredibly fun music video from Goldfish, mixing animation, pixel art and stop motion of the various cast members from the South African based electro house group known as Goldfish. I absolutely love their feel good approach to all their tracks. We also featured them recently for their amazing 8bit music video for "We Come Together.." Check it out too if you haven't already!

Mac 'N Cheese: Hang On To Your Butts



This badass short was created by four students at the Ultrecht School of Arts in the Netherlands, and took about five months in man hours to create. The designs and setting reminded me of Team Fortress 2, and the moral of the story is to trip as much balls as possible in order to win. Despite the morally ambiguous message, the payoff is pretty awesome. Prepare yourself for a trippy barrage of well animated chase scenes between the Heavy and the Scout looking character. Loved it.

Rifttrax: The 5 Year Best Of



As I'm sure a lot of you may already know, the guys who did MST3K went on to do the hilariously awesome Rifftrax.  To celebrate 5 years of Rifftrax, they've compiled their best clips for our viewing pleasure.  I've refused to watch "Twilight", but now that I see they've got that one covered, I may have to change my mind.  Because that would be the only way, the true way, to go. Having been watching their Rifftrax Live! shows with Robobrain for nearly 2 years now, I'm glad these guys are still going strong.

Wish I Had A Portal Gun



Dorkly really outdid themselves this time, creating a Lonely Island worthy Portal rap track that will most likely get a few million views before being run into the ground by people quoting it for the next decade as if it never gets old. We're looking at you, "Still Alive" performers. That aside,  not only is this song insanely catchy, the lyrics are absolutely brilliant to boot as well.

They say war changes a Pokemon....I say as long as they carry on making Pokegander films like this? Let them eat Rare Candy!

The Exhibitionist



This fun little stop motion film was created to showcase the work at the Museum Of Contemporary Arts in LA, featuring the work of guys like Banksy and a ton of other artists making waves in this day and age. This might be the best indirect advertisement for a museum I've ever seen...And the entire thing was improvised on the fly over a course of three days. The short film was directed by Mark and Kent Osborne, who worked on series including Kung Fu Panda, Adventure Time and Spongebob Squarepants. One of the coolest things I've seen in a while.

I Need The Levitron More Than Anything


I have a strong urge to make a magnet joke, but I won't, I do need this though. Vat19 has created probably the coolest device I've ever seen and it's at a reasonable price. For only $99 dollars, you too can levitate objects under 12 ounces on a floating platform. Good god, this is so cool! Check it out over here. Feel free to buy me one while you're at it.

The Art Of Jeremy Enecio

I recently ran into a stunning portfolio of art by Jeremy Enecio, a Phillipines born illustrator who migrated to the US when he was four. His work is absolutely beautiful, and even when he works digitally his work retains an incredibly painterly feel. I encourage you guys to check out eight more of his works after the break. With the exception of the Street Fighter piece above, I find a lot of his other work to be surreal, haunting and incredibly beautiful. As a heads up, there might be some NSFW content after the break.

Cubies: Lets Go To Oktoberfest



This amazing little music video was created by Michael Maria Tichy, featuring a pretty insane barrage of pixelated visuals, gameboy chiptunes, beer, robots and lots of livestock. Its not even October yet, but this is an awesome way to start off your Monday. It really reminds me of Junior Senior's classic track from a few years ago, Move Your Feet. Check out the making of this quirky music video on their Youtube channel; Cubies!

Kitty Voltron: ASSEMBLE!

In an ideal world, this is what the actual Voltron design would have looked like. I'LL FORM THE HEAD! This needs to be made into a poster.

You Won't See It Coming



I'm told the internet loves cats.  And that there are thousands, if not millions, of cat videos scouring the web.  Most are said to be cute and simple, with a few silly ones sprinkled into the mix.  This one... This one is hard to explain.  So I won't even try.

Batman: Arkham City Goes To The Future And Beyond

Arkham City gets a futuristic infusion with this exclusive skin. (Via)
So remember the Batman: Arkham City Robin downloadable DLC that was pre-order only with Gamestop? Turns out they have more offers under the belts, and it goes far beyond Robin, and into the future.

Fans of the newer Batman games, those who pre-order Batman: Arkham City from the European Gamestop online store will get a free Batman Beyond skin for their troubles. If you didn't know, the series is about teenager Terry McGinnis as a new Batman in a futuristic Gotham City under the tutelage of an elderly Bruce Wayne. And if you haven't seen it, you must. The series is just as dark and just as well written as the Batman Animated Series (And produced by Bruce Timm, creator of both).

Will this skin add any gameplay enhancements? Or is it just a cosmetic replacement, and will there be more unlocked throughout the game? We'll see soon enough...
