The LEGO wizard known fittingly as  Legohaulic  has gone ahead and created a most righteous of mash-ups. The Blade Runner LEGO collection. It takes my childhood love and mixes its shiny soul with the dark, dank adult love for cyberpunk hopelessness. Outstanding.

For those of us in the United States, today is Presidents Day. If I’m not mistaken, the holiday came about by merging the observances of Washington’s Birthday and Lincoln’s Birthday, and then including every other dude to ever serve as commander-in-chief. Personally, I think that this inclusivity is a bunch of malarkey. I mean, Washington was pretty dope for setting the presidential precedents, so I get wanting to celebrate his life. And Lincoln? Hell, the dude freed the slaves and preserved the Union! Who doesn’t want to give Honest Abe a high-five?

So while there’ve definitely been a few president-studs, they’ve most certainly been outnumbered by the duds. As I sit around today, watching television and reading books and not doing an ounce of work, I’m going to pick and choose the presidents to whom I give thanks. It only seems right.

I’d like to start by giving mad props to Benjamin Harrison, known for serving a single term between President Grover Cleveland’s two terms! Truth!

God only knows how Snyder’s “Superman: A Slow Motion Pop Video”  is going to turn out, but McG has recently spread some deets on how his version of the mythos would have went down.

Holy balls, and here I thought I couldn’t be any more excited for Mass Effect 3. I believe this originally aired last night during Walking Dog Shit  which I have given up on. None the less. This trailer has me losing it! So epic! So serious! I mean, the Inception  horns should let you know that!

Rendar alerted me to the existence of this clip and told me it was good. I watched it, and asked him why it was good. He then said “well, it wasn’t bad”, to which I agreed. This raised the question, why would The Powers That Be use this clip from The Amazing Spider-Man? Eh!?

Who knows. Hit the jump to check it out.
