Favorite Tumblr Right Now

 



The Tumblr, Batman Running away From Shit is based on the opinion that "60's Batman is a coward." It's difficult to dispute this claim with all the evidence.

Sim City Rises From the Dead



EA announced a new Sim City the other day! There hasn't been a new Sim City since Sim City 4 in 2003 (not counting Societies in 2007 because it was abysmal and hardly a Sim City game) so it's cool to see the beloved franchise come back and for the first time, in full 3D! Unfortunately, the release date isn't until 2013, but hey, Sim City!

Hey You Should Play This #2: mari0



Imagine this scenario: Hey you got your Portal in my Super Mario Bros.!  You got your Super Mario Bros. in my Portal! It's delicious!  This is what I'm guessing went on at Stabyourself.net that led to the development of their latest release, mari0.  To distill it down to the most basic description, it's the original Mario with a portal gun, which on it's own is pretty neat-- but it's the extra stuff that really sells it.

Psycho Gothic Lolita (2011) [Review]



Japanese Grindhouse/Exploitation films hold a special place in my heart-- I think it's the combination of over-the-top blood spraying violence and out there Japanese bizarreness.   Most never take themselves too seriously and are filled with wacky characters with cool wardrobes, unique weaponry, and crazy attitudes.  With a title like Psycho Gothic Lolita (or by Japanese title Gothic and Lolita Psycho) you'd think it would live up too all those things and be as crazy violent as Tokyo Gore Police, or as over the top as The Machine Girl (both of which are on Netflix, so go watch'em if you haven't) but for some reason it just doesn't quite.

Despicable Me 2 Trailer Released



Apparently they are making Despicable Me 2, which begs the question does every children's CG animated movie need a sequel? According to Dreamworks and Illumination Entertainment who created the original Despicable Me, the answer is a resounding YES. If Dreamworks had made Toy Story, we'd be on the 7th one by now instead of the 3rd. Also they would of all had a dancing scene to a popular song.  Illumination also did the now-in-theaters movie The Lorax, which looks bad.

Anyways, the trailer for Despicable Me 2 is up there if you're in to that sort of thing. Personally I thought those little minions were more annoying than they are cute or funny.

Weekly Craft Geekery: 3/1/12

 



Hello once again! Today I've found some super-awesome super hero/villain masks, gory lawn ornaments, a pillow shaped like a famous bounty hunter, a dinosaur that holds a plant, and some rad geeky bow ties! Check them out!



This is a really cool leather mask made to look like Harley Quinn’s.  It’s a bit pricey, but if you want a nice quality mask for cosplay, personal use, crime-fighting/villianry, these look nice.  There is a bunch of other really cool super heroes and villain masks like Huntress, Green Lantern, Batwoman, and more in her store.
