Wolfenstein gets a makeover… again.

Image 1

 

Alternate dimensions, zombie Nazis, and… giant blue bees?

Despite the obvious leap from the original, this Wolfenstein still promises to deliver what we know and love about the series: big guns, plenty of carnage, and lots of hidden treasures.

After a 7 year hiatus, the wait for the next ass-kicking installment of Wolfenstein is nearly over.  Released by ID software, you can expect to blow stuff up with secret agent B.J. Blazkowicz’s flamethrower on August 4th.  Sweet!

Kingdom of Heaven Has an Evolved Doppleganger

In 2005 not too long before Star Wars Episode 3 was released, Ridley Scott of Gladiator fame’s Kingdom of Heaven was released. With an average release draw for a such an expensive film it came and went fairly quick in the US, while it thrived in foreign sales. As a fan of yet another littler known gem I was BLOWN away when I found the four disc Director’s Cut in a used DVD store. The movie I had grown to love, was in a different box and had stealthily flew under my radar! So why after these last few years do i bring this up now? Because this is a DIFFERENT MOVIE. There is a huge amount of deleted cuts added in that evolve and progress the stroyline in a way that would have made this film far grander then it was. It deserved better, and Ridley Scott’s version gives it its due. If you have any love for the first film, you will be floored by this astouding new film. It’s new to me, so it is on my cool list. I wanted more out of this movie when the credits rolled…And Ridley Scott so graciously delivered to me almost an extra hour of savory and delicous cinema to chew on…




Knit Star Trek Meerkats

We got a crafty geek on our hands. Star Trek fan and Knitting master, Allison Oddy has made up some knitted Meerkats complete with uniforms and accessories from Star Trek TOS. Although this is one of the most random things I’ve seen all day I must say these littleguys are quite cute and I admire the originality and craftsmanship. Allison sells these cuddly collectibles on folksy.com. They retail for around $26.00. If your more of fan of another series characters from Next Generation and Voyager are also available.

The Sword and Spear of Prince Nuada from Hellboy 2!!!

“That which is mine!” can be yours!! The Spear of Pince Nuada from Hellboy 2. The graceful and elegant weapon of the darth Maul-ish Prince is available limitedly through BUDK.com

Almost killing Red with this spear, we get to the final showdown between the two with the equally as badass sword on the left in the hands of our Hero. While each is beautifully crafted, buy it…before I do. There is only a small amount…




The Good, The Bad, and the Metal!! Cult of Static

Static-X, while being a Marquee band for about a decade they keep releasing albums containing the kind of metal they don’t make anymore…Every Album probably goes gold and while theyr staying power is admirable with their fan base, you gotta respect a “NU-Metal” band still relevant…So color me stupid for missing out on one of the slickest and hardest albums in awhile, and fairly new in release. I wa suprised at the qulaity and overall badassery of it. If this is your cup of tea, they definiitely have brought it, full force back to the roots with some evolution.

Officially Cool Album cover!! Pretty Innovative, and the lyrics (If you can understand them) are pretty decadent.




Dorito’s Taco’s At Midnight: A product of devine intervention?

If you have yet to try Dorito’s, Tacos at midnight you need to go out and get em right now now because these are no ordinary doritos my friends.. these chips are Magical. How else could a triangular corn chip taste precisely like a taco that was made by a genuine Mexican, if not by magic? Seriously the Cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and gray meat is all accounted for. Sure you may come a across an obnoxiously seasoned chip or two and sure they may induce a pretty bad case of the shits but I tell you its well worth it. This is artificial food at its finest!




Matrix Runs On Windows: “Ubuntu… I’m going to learn Ubuntu?”

College Humor imagines what would happen if the Matrix ran on Windows. This video gave me a good chuckle but I was actually pretty dam distracted by the high production value of this thing. I mean really internet videos are kinda suppose to suck. I’m not use to web content thats as close to quality as the movie its spoofing. I guess I should tip my hat off the gays and gals of college humor. Bravo guys you have really out done yourselfs.




Bongo Shirt: A Tool For Getting Girls To Touch You.

bongo-sound-shirt

I was never a fan of electronic shirts (chaffing issues) but I am a compulsive chest batter and I do like drums so this is kinda a must buy for me. The shirt has a built in speaker which plays drum sounds when you whack the bongo design.

I make no guarantee that the following tactic will work but If you have trouble breaking the ice when it comes to talking to girls simply don this shirt and say “Ahem, excuse me miss would you care to pound my bongos?” Go ahead and try it, see what happens.

 

Shirt Retails for £29.99 and can be ordered here

LCD Guitar: A little Trippy but its all sorts of COOL

 

 

If you can stop laughing at the EPIC FAILURE of this guys guitar playing and actually look at his guitar you will either be mesmerized, impressed or a amused….. perhaps all of the above. Featured at this years Maker Faire, Engineer Ben Lewry presented a custom guitar that features an LCD that provides trippy but fun visualizations to go along with each strum. Though I don’t suspect Guitar Center to be carrying video guitars any time soon you can have one built for you by going to Lewry’s website at visionaryinstruments.com
