Shhh ... Don't Tell Anyone That I Played D & D

Now, if I would have actually had one of these when I played Dungeons and Dragons, It might have made the awkward teen years just a little bit more bearable. (I'm guessing)
 
That's right ... I'm 14 with a flask and a smoking jacket and an 18th level fighter and I'm looking to kick some ass !!  (Yay or Nay for getting laid ... ?)

All I've Got Is "Insert Title Here"

I realize that this has probably already been seen by everyone but I'm gonna post it anyway.  I'll just file it under 'better late than never'

BIG BANG BIG BOOM - the new wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.


Dedication on a level that I, in no way, have.

I'm Ninja-ing In The Rain, Just Ninja-ing In The Rain ...

I don't know how this would play as you're walking around when it's not raining but then ... Shazam ... when the rain begins to fall: instant coolness ... OK maybe not total coolness, but at least you'll get to be marginally cooler than those golf umbrella people.
Rain - prepare to be defeated.

This Just Gave Me A Laugh And A Sigh

The X-Men: First Class Roll Call Is Totally @#$%ed

Anyone remember who X-Men: First Class was going to be a prequel to the X-Men movies? Anyone? Well, you might, but Fox apparently doesn't. We've already discussed how Emma Frost has apparently joined the inaugural team of the X-Men, but now we also have Havok and Banshee (we also have Beast, but since was actually part of the first group of X-Men, it's not interesting to talk about him). Gamma Squad has a round up of which faux Zac Efrons are up for each role, but I'm more concerned with bitching about what the hell is going on in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Banshee's probably not that big a stretch, since he's not interesting enough to really screw up any continuity, but Havok? Havok is a Summers brother. How the hell is that supposed to work?

Fuck it. I don't even care any more. Have Magneto teach Defense Against the Dark Arts for all I care, just fucking admit that the movie's a reboot, you bastards.

Is Artsy-Geek A Real Word?

Here's some neato pictures and the whole story link:



Awesome Vader Project Puts The 'Art' In Darth

Don't worry, the blog's not gonna be overly heavy on the Star Wars stuff.  I just think that these are pretty cool looking ... one of those things where, if I had one of these things I'd display it in my house ... also providing I didn't have a wife.

Feeling Teeny Tiny, Tiny Teeny

This was really cool, although I gotta say it was a bit of a struggle to keep my easily distracted mind focused on the 7 minute or so long video.
 
Maybe this means that Luke Skywalker could be real ... You know, the whole "galaxy far, far away" thing.

"Devo's Back", He Says With A Schoolgirl's Giggle

I just downloaded (from iTunes of course) the song 'What We Do' from their latest album.



This is from the Time website.

Old Enough To Relate

Anything Star Wars is fine by me.







Xanadu

I always thought that the Viper was kind of a cool car.  It always seemed to be the big, powerful and bad-ass but goofy kid in the sports car crowd.  It always looked like it was kinda cool to own even if you were not sure why (other than the obvious "look at me, I can blow a huge wad of cash on something I don't need", and chicks dig it.  
It’s really kind of sad to see that Dodge has decided to discontinue it.  This is a picture of an ultimate factory customized Viper … the last one to roll of the line.  I’ve gotta say that I’m up in the air concerning the chosen paint colours.  I don’t know if it’s just a little too ‘disco’ for an end of the line colour scheme … still cool though.
