Blizzard Still F**king With ‘Diablo III’ Core Systems. They Hate Me.

A good friend and Discipline of the Infinite Click let me play the Diablo III beta last week. It was Diablo, but prettier. I was instantly in love-lost-dick-groaning. It felt so ready! Maybe I was delusional, cause Blizzard is now gutting a lot of the core systems.

THIS WEEK ON Justified – The Gunfighter

When we last left Deputy Marshal Raylan Givens he was bruised, battered, and shot.   We pick up season 3 a few weeks later.   Raylan is back with the marshals under limited capacity until he’s fully recovered.   It was painful to see him draw and shoot … and miss.   We’ll see how his injuries will limit him in the future.

Raylan is working on his investigation into what happened with the Bennett’s weed and money since the family was taken down.   Boyd is called into the marshal’s office to fill in some gaps in the aftermath.   After some classic banter between the two we are treated to a fistfight.   Good lord it feels like it’s going to be a good season

Post-52 Relaunch: DC’s Coulda/Woulda/Shoulda!

The DC relaunch has left most of us unscathed – the comics are generally pretty good, the continuity is a bit cleaner, and some casual fans have now hopped into the paneled-abyss with the rest of us. Considering the level of trepidation surrounding the reboot, I’d say it’s been a success thus far.

But that doesn’t mean that everything is as rad as it could be.

If you want to see how the Justice League should have been redesigned, hit the jump and check out the fine work of Codyssey.

THE INTERNET IS DOWN, Let’s Hang Out.

A vast tundra of websites are shutting down in an effort to symbolically step on the neck of SOPA. The Omega Level? Well, we ain’t shutting down, but I’m going to kill the updates for the day. It’s my usual half-assed way of making any sort of stand. Instead of disappearing, I offer you this forum for hanging out. Hit the comments section. How is your week going? Are you totally pumped for Haywire? Hey, me too! Your favorite website is probably down, so why not cozy up here. Oh I know it’s just going to be the usual sausage fest but let me dream.

 

Variant Covers: Ignite The Brandon Graham 2K12 Mindwarp!

Variant Covers. This is the venue for me to wank to the comic books dropping in a particular week that I’m interested in. It’s generally capes heavy, because when I was younger I myself was heavy. As always, you folk are encouraged to share the shit you’re checking out this week. Peep the deets at ComicsList. It’s show and tell without the creepy Uncle and lollipops. Bummer about the lollipops, agreed.

George Lucas Retiring From Blockbuster Movies. Going Personal and Experimental. LOL.

I watched The People vs. George Lucas last week, and it was both traumatizing and cathartic. It was mourning with a digital avalanche of people, but it was also like watching footage of your girlfriend or boyfriend getting gang blasted in slow motion on an evening they told you they were going to the gym or something. So when George Lucas flaps his fat gums this week, I’m “I forgive you”, and I’m also “Fuck you, swine.”

Cosplay: Dazzler Brings Sexy 1980s X-Gene Up In Here.

[Cosplay by Marie-Claude Bourbonnais  | Via]

Despite being (way too) busty and sultry with the ridiculous side-tit shot, I’m digging this Dazzler cosplay. I mean fuck, it’s *Dazzler*.

In ‘Looper’, Joseph Gordon-Levitt Wears Prosthetics To Look Like Bruce Willis.

I can’t wait for Rian Johnson’s ‘Looper’. Time travel, Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Beast mode initialized. Yet, it’s so so far away. Johnson recently spoke a bit about the plot, as well as the JGL-Bruce Willis acting connection.

How Much Energy Would Death Star Need To Destroy Earth? Important Study.

I know what you’re thinking. Should the Multiverse ever crack open and a Death Star slither out through the chasm between time and space, there’s a good chance that Earth is fucked. But let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Just how much energy would Palpatine’s Death Machine need to obliterate our Blue Marble?
