I heard Hal didn't make the audition! Time to break into a song about how Sinestro sucks.....

Halo 1: Tower to Tower


You know what's impressive? Someone has been trying to do this for 7 years. Me? In that time I've completed 6 Halo games and lost my virginity.

I was 14 when Halo first came out, and watching this brought back so many memories of me and my friends trying to do the exact same thing; this clip has made me feel reaaally old.

The Many Mirrors Of Daniel Rozin


Wood Mirror-1999

Daniel Rozin is a New York based artist who has set out to create interactive experiences in which the viewer would become part of his high tech mechanical mirror based installations. Over the course of 13 years now his various mirrors have traveled the world and engaged people in just about every country imaginable. I loved the fact that each of his unique mirrors were created out of stranger and stranger components as the supposed 'reflective' surface. Check out six more of his mirror creations after the jump.  My favorite by far was the Trash Mirror. I'm not sure he'll be able to top his latest creation, the 'Mirrors Mirror.'

Xmen By Marcio Takara

(Via)


An amazing tribute to the Xmen by the Toronto based Brazilian artist Marcio Takara. What I really enjoyed about this piece was that he actually didn't cop out and stick fan favorite Wolverine in the foreground..In this day and age having Cyclops as the front runner just feels really bold. On that note, did any of you guys check out Xmen: First Class?

Legend Of A Rabbit : China's Kung Fu Panda

Legend Of Bootleg
It seems like China has decided to respond Dreamworks' Kung Fu Panda with a little flick of their, as this blatantly similar poster for the upcoming 'Legend Of A Rabbit' flick seems to show. Now creating a photocopy of the movie would be too damn obvious, so they kind of pulled a switcheroo in which the main bad guy is a Panda this time around and the main protagonist is a fat, cake making Rabbit who learns to be a great warrior. Back in 2008, the success of Kung Fu Panda led to a furious debate about foreign film companies handling China's cultural heritage. This is the result of that discussion, a movie in which the Panda will be on the receiving end of the beat down this time.

Gaiking Pilot



This was one of the two pilots that Toei Animation put forward in the last two years for a possible western adaptation to be released in 2012-2013, along with Captain Harlock..both classic anime series from the golden age of Japanese animation. I've heard news about the Captain Harlock reboot, but what about Gaiking? This pilot was insanely cool with its giant mecha action and redesigns..I just hope Michael Bay never discovers it.

The Final HP Trailer



I've previously posted some trailers for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II", but here we have the last one.  I don't normally use the word 'epic', but I really can't think of many other words that describe how I feel about this final glimpse into one of the greatest movie series of the past decade.

In Brightest Day, In Piggy's Light


Sometimes it's not easy being Green, especially when you are the only frog within the Muppet Lantern Corps....This is one of the newest posters for The Muppets Movie, a reboot of the classic series that I am pretty excited about. The poster is a great tie in to the upcoming Green Lantern movie, another movie I am super hyped for.

On that note, expect to see a Green Lantern review up tomorrow...Not only for the flick, but for the video game too. Double whammy.

Update: A Green Lantern flavored trailer just got posted too! Go figure.

Tokyo Jihen Delivers A Catchy Music Video



Tokyo Jihen, which translates to 'Tokyo Incidents' is a band that was formed in 2003 after the female lead singer, Ringo Shena decided to start a band after a successful solo career. This recent track is an energetic mix of Jazz, Rock and Pop..and its catchy as hell. Seeing that the band has always attempted to push its limits creatively, this recent track is sung completely in English. These guys need to migrate to Western shores, and bring this sound with them.

Gandalf Shall Not Let You Pass

(Click for fullsize)

This Lord Of The Rings themed comic by the guys over at Happletea pretty much nails it on the head..This is why having Gandalf as a teacher would absolutely suck ass. Talk about dramatic.

Indoor Skydiving Ballet



4 guys, one wind tunnel, and an amazing amount of choreography resulted in this amazing performance by the French skydiving team known as 4speed. I all of a sudden want to seek out one of these indoor skydiving arenas...This looks insanely fun.

Vancouver Riots Bring Out The Best Of Canada


So, the Bruins beat the Canucks for the Stanley Cup yesterday, forcing Vancouver into riots; It's the only option, really. Yes, the idea of mindlessly destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars in property is simply moronic (but it's only logical solution when your team loses, right?), but at least we're treated with videos like this. 

8-Bit Style Game of Thrones



We have fell in L-O-V-E with HBO's "Game of Thrones".  Though a bit hard to follow at first, we've caught up and can't get enough.  Without spoiling anything, the last episode?  Holy crap!  I know where I'll be next Sunday night.  Just started the first book as well.  A damn good read.  Anywho, here's an awesome 8-bit style of the TV show's theme music. Now we just need a 16bit videogame adaptation of the actual show. The main game mechanic would probably involve backstabbing people every 5 seconds. Get the track for free here!  Enjoy!

Ocarina of Time 3D Just Got More Real



When you have Santa advertising your product? You know it's big.
Who knew Robin Williams knows just as much about Zelda as we do? Turns out that Robin Williams actually named his daughter, Zelda Williams after the video game character when she was born back in 1989, not 1987 as the ad claims.

Ghostbusters 3 News At Last!

(Via)
The Licensing International Expo, currently running in Las Vegas, has been a plethora of minor news tidbits and first looks (Including the Dark Knight Rises (Coming soon, FYI...) and the new Zack Synder Superman film) currently driving the internet crazy.

The one that is driving the internet crazy? Thats right, GHOSTBUSTERS 3! A blog called Toys & Gadgets is running an image grab (see above) from what looks like an official Sony press release from the Licensing International Expo currently running in Las Vegas, which states that Ghosterbusters 3 will be arriving in 2013!

Is it finally on it's way? Will we see a trailer soon? Will I ever get Ghostbusters 2 on Bluray? Time will tell...
