Monday Morning Commute: memory-ill day

May 30th, 2011 by Rendar Frankenstein

[via]

Broadcasting from Omega Station Monstar on this most glorious of three-day weekends, I present MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! This weekly post is my excuse to show off the various ways I’ll be entertaining myself through the workweek. After you read about how I’m going tranquilize my desires to scream “BURN IT DOWN!” while crashing an ice cream truck into the post office, you should then hit up the comments section and tell me what you’re up to.

If I don’t have new things to do, there’s a strong chance the mail’s going to be late this week.

Lead Designer of ‘Dragon Age 2′ Kinda Admits It Sucked.

May 30th, 2011 by Caffeine Powered

The problem with Dragon Age 2 was that, it was at best, like twenty-three percent of a game. Somewhere in the miasma, there floats the rest of Dragon Age 2. A game that is more than three dungeons, a city, and an  unmemorable  storyline. I mean, it was a really really good twenty-three percent.

But that’s it.

At least DA2′s lead designer seems aware of this.

Sean Young’s Polaroid Collection From ‘Blade Runner’ Set Makes Me Replicate In My Pants.

May 30th, 2011 by Caffeine Powered

For a couple of weeks I’d been seeing pictures of Sean Young and Han Solo in eerily MySpace-esque pictures. I kept wondering where the fuck they were, amid shock that in fact even the coolest of people have been making the douchiest of faces in pictures for like thirty years or so. Now I know the origin! Hot ass, crazy-as-fuck Sean Young has posted a Polaroid album online from the set of Blade Runner. It’s fucking awesome.

Hit the jump to check out some of the pictures.

Face of a Franchise: Metal Mascot

May 28th, 2011 by Rendar Frankenstein

[face of a franchise presents two individuals that’ve fulfilled the same role. your task — choose the better of the two and defend your choice in the rancor pit that is the comments section]

As everyone knows, heavy metal is a genre of music performed exclusively by Satanists in the hopes of stealing souls for the Devil. But with the religious right constantly exerting their will, it isn’t always easy provide the Dark Lord the souls he craves. Fortunately, heavy metal wised up and stole a page from Big Tobacco’s playbook by employing cartoons! Since kids can’t resist cartoons, heavy metal has been able to ensure the damnation of millions of youthful spirits!

It’s wonderful.

So, who is the most metal mascot of all-time? Well, the debate always seems to come down to two contenders: Iron Maiden’s Eddie and Megadeth’s Vic Rattlehead.

Friday Brew Review – Bengali Tiger

May 27th, 2011 by Rendar Frankenstein

Monsters are awesome.
Tigers are nature’s monsters.
Tigers are awesome.

It’s a syllogism celebrated by some of Planet Earth’s most respected intellectuals, from poet Edward Blake to renaissance man Charlie Sheen. There is both an inherent beauty and ruthlessness of the tiger which makes people like it. After all, tigers are powerhouses of muscle and controlled violence, demanding respect and rewarding only those most worthy.

So when I sauntered into the package store and saw a four-pack of Bengali Tiger, there was only one option: buy that muthafuggah and drink `em until everything’s funny. Even Gallagher.

Hulk Hogan Is Getting His Own Kinect Game. Now It All Makes Sense.

May 27th, 2011 by Caffeine Powered

With the passing of Macho Man last week, it’s good to see that another childhood icon of mine is carrying on. Ye old leather-skinned Hulk Hogan, whose ticker somehow refuses to quit. Hogan isn’t just still among the living, he’s also still the master of whoring his own Existence turned Brand. Thanks to him and the geniuses at  Majesco, we’ll be getting a Hulk Hogan game for the Kinect.

Now the peripheral makes perfect sense.

May 27th, 2011 by Caffeine Powered

There’s a rumor going around of another villain in the Avengers movie. One we haven’t spat about yet, and who frankly, would be a fucking righteous threat for a sequel or so. Spoilers ahead, fuckos.

ATTACK THE BLOCK Review

May 27th, 2011 by Patrick Cooper

While you’ll see “from the producers of Shaun of the Dead” printed on the adverts for Attack of the Block (along with Nick Frost’s schlubby face), Atb is in another league of genre-bending film exported from Britain. What makes AtB shine brighter than other Edgar Wright productions is that it takes its location, characters, and the invasion genre very seriously. It turns increasingly grim later in the film as the stakes are raised. And it works on every level. Bathed in attitude, rapid-fast chav slang, and plenty of humor, it’s an utterly confident debut from director Joe Cornish.
