Yay, it's new Metal Gear time! Metal Gear is one of those series that I hold close to my heart. For all its hour long (or more) cut-scenes, it's nonsensical plot twists, the game's tendency to explain everything away with nanomachines (the Metal Gear version of "A wizard did it"), and the tendency of the game's bosses to go on hour long pseudo-philosophical rants I honestly can't get enough of it. Metal Gear Solid sits up there with my other all time favorite games, the Marios and Metroids of the world. It goes without saying I was pretty excited for a new title (albeit a spin-off) in the series. Not only a new game mind you, a new game developed by Platinum Games-- one of my all-time favorite devs!-- who brought the world the magnificence that is Bayonetta. Basically, my expectations were high.

Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie Has a Trailer!
Yup, Jay and Silent Bob are getting a animated movie (which there's been murmurs of for some time now) but for the first time ever, we finally get to see a little bit of it! It was produced by Jason Mewes himself, and directed by Steve Stark, the guy behind the Smodimations series (and possibly Tony Stark's secret brother!?). Hit the jump to see...and of course I'll throw in my two cents.

Weekly Craft Geekery: 1/24/13
Hey There! Welcome back to the Geekery. My day job has slowed down since Christmas is over, so I should have time to do this stuff again! Aren't you excited? I know I am! I found some really nifty stuff including some really cool Science and Grammar art prints, jewelery that might have your favorite real and fictional pop culture icons in silhouette form, and also wooden Adventure Time clocks that you have to see.
You'll know when it's Adventure Time with these awesome clocks. These are seriously pretty and look well made. They are made from wood, which is something I haven't seen too much of My favorites are Lumpy Space Princess and Ice King. They aren't just limited to Adventure Time. There are some Doctor Who ones and some super heroes as well. All of these can be found in the Etsy store, alantronics!
Check out the rest of this lumping stuff after the jump!

Zombieland is Getting a Show...Not a TV Show, Though
Remember that movie, Zombieland? You should, it wasn't that long ago. If you were hoping for a sequel, this is not that news, but it's kind of close! The movie's getting a series! Like the headline says, though, it's not coming to TV, unfortunately, it's coming to...wait for it... Amazon Instant Streaming? Yeah, that's right, it's not even coming to Netflix. It's coming to that streaming service that everybody has because they have Amazon Prime, but don't use because they have Netflix. Since it's a web-only series coming to a second-tier streaming service, I wouldn't hold my breath about ANY of the original cast coming back. Still though, it'll be interesting to see how this one turns out!

Dexter's Rude Removal, the Lost Episode of Dexter Laboratory Finally Released!
After being lost in the Cartoon Network archives for probably a decade at least, the secret, only played at cons for adults episode of cartoon classic Dexter's Laboratory has be released to the internet thanks to Adult Swim! Unfortunately all the swearing has been bleeped (presumably one of the stipulations of releasing it to the public) which kind of defeats the purpose of the whole cartoon, but nonetheless it's still a pretty funny short, especially if you are (or were) a Dexter (no, not the murdering one) fan. Hit the jump and prepare for some spicy language!
