Every now and then a human being is born unto the Earth who has ability beyond the natural. Wielding these transcendent powers, this individual has the ability to do that which most cannot even fathom. Good? Evil? Artist? Warrior? All that’s known for sure when one of these folks drops in is that things are going to change.

I was afforded the distinct pleasure of interviewing Benjamin Santiago, an artist doing the dirty work for those of us who were raised on Super Nintendo and science fiction. This is the dude behind a wonder-trove of visual delights, FANTOMA.ORG, and a slew of ill videos.

Hit the jump and check out this feature with Benjamin Santiago. Not only did he answer all of my wacky questions, but he also made an OL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO!

Remember the back and forth about the Avengers  scene that may or may not have been shot after the movie premiered? It’s in the flick. It truly is! I promise.

There’s more (non-spoiling) details post-jump.

Harrenhal already seems like it could be the likeliest place in Westeros for a ghost to take up residence.   Arya Stark is basically dead to the world; small wonder she finds herself in a position to be Harrenhal’s newest specter, a girl whose words can now kill.

Sunday was about Game of Thrones’ characters gaining new ground in unexpected places.   Finding new sources of strength where they never imagined them to be.   And naturally, having those new gains define character arcs and plots for the rest of the season.  A setup episode of connective tissue necessary at this season’s midpoint.

Before all that setup could happen, and just as the show was teasing us with the prospect of an alliance between Highgarden and the North, we had to see what became of Stannis and Mel’s love-shadow.   And we did.

G’damn, this isn’t something I expected. Peep this glorious picture of  Princess Daisy and Princess Rosalina. The ladies are cosplayed by  kolibri-chan  and  jj-dreamworldz, and photographed by  Weatherstone. Apparently they’re in some sort of Mario Kart  garb from an iteration I haven’t played but it is irrelevant. The garb itself, man. The garb itself.

LOST  could be making a comeback if Damon Lindelof’s titty teaser has any weight behind it. Promoting Prometheus  or some shit, the maestro hinted yet again that we haven’t seen the end of the Island.

Jesus Christ is the DoA  series a horndog’s most spank-worthy video game franchise. They cut their rug on having crazy ass titties bouncing around, and it seems they ain’t keen on letting that championship belt get away from them.

Not only am I the Dude, but I’m also A dude.   Like most males that are stuffed with testosterone and swagger like pirate god kings I love violence.   Let me be a bit more specific, I like the idea of violence.   I’d rather see it done in a movie or on a TV show in real life.   Better yet, I’d rather be the one doing the violence in a video game.   Today’s High 5 will look at the tools of the trade.   These are the weapons I’d want to wield if I was about to run through the streets on an anger fueled GTA killing spree (Probably in Salem, MA … driving in that city is aggravating).

Ain’t this a kick to my friends in the UK. The High Court has come down with the decision to require all UK internet providers to block The Pirate Bay, in an attempt to deprive an entire peoples of free copies of Adobe Photoshop. Thankfully where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Wouldn’t you know it. Black Ops 2  reveal trailer has finally dropped, days and days after the game was tots leaked. We’re going to the (near) future, baby!

Rihanna may be joining the cast of Fast 6  as a villain? This would be fantastic if she could play some sort of mute savant when it came to guns play and racing cars…and uh, wearing S&M gear and dancing a lot.
