Watch: Super Mario Bros. 1-1 recreated in ‘MINECRAFT.’ Oh, that game.
I don’t get you, Minecraft. But I want to. Oh, I so do. I don’t get how someone created Super Mario Bros. 1-1 within your walls, but that doesn’t matter. It is still damn impressive.

Kevin Smith hoping to get out ‘CLERKS 3’ for original film’s 20th anniversary. I’m f**king old.
Goddamn! I really hate the fact that Clerks is creeping up on its 20th anniversary. I suppose there will be few more appropriate ways to celebrate my blase and unimpressive existence that Clerks has helped shape so greatly than by catching the epic conclusion to the franchise.
THE GANG OMEGA’S PICKS OF 2012: PATRICK COOPER’S Wild Ride.
Caff: Okay, so Patrick didn’t write an introduction either. P-Rock is a wildly awesome writer and great friend, who spent this year dominating both the blogosphere and print world. He was kind enough to come back to the OL hood for the besties. Check out his Top 10 Films of 2012 over at Mishka while you’re indulging in his righteousness.
‘THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES’ Trailer: Gosling is all Metallica baby!
I have the sneaking suspicion this movie is going to be good. Gosling, Derek Cianfrance (director of Blue Valentine), Metallica t-shirts. Unfortunately, this trailer does nothing for me. Lock, stock, and generic dramatic barrels. Still though, a nice reminder that the film exists. I’ll be seeing it, regardless of this trailer.
New ‘PACIFIC RIM’ photo features Elba, Kikuchi, and a war room.
Hey! Do you want an inconsequential picture of the promising 2013 jam, Pacific Rim? Then you’re in the right location, you fucks. My sheer excitement for this film outweighs the insubstantial nonsense of it all.
There’s a simulated Mars colony happening in Utah. Lucky Martian devils!
Out in the vast wilderness of Utah, there is a Mars colony afoot! I have no idea what Utah actually looks like, but from the pictures it seems like endless rolling red sand and Martian colonies. Okay, so I haven’t looked at the pictures either. Who the fuck cares. What does matter is that there is a legitimately simulated Mars colony, and we aren’t there.
Listen: ‘MASS EFFECT’ Reaper noises go dubstep.
An enterprising gentleman by the user name of Rig on Soundcloud has taken the various Reaper sounds from the Mass Effect series and smashed them together to create a wonderful cacophony. The track also confirms that dubstep does, in fact, sound like the robot apocalypse.
THE GANG OMEGA’S PICKS OF 2012: The Dude Edition
Caff-Note: The Dude didn’t write an introduction, so just imagine him shouting these from a mountaintop, whilst brandishing lightning bolts and delicious esoteria. Also, props to The Dude for week after week of High 5s this year. Gods bless.
The Dude’s High 5s: Warriors of the Squared Circle
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I spent the day in my PJs playing video games and watching crappy movies, so despite me not celebrating the holiday, my ritual didn’t change. Over the course of the day I wondered what other institutions I put aside when growing older. A big one for me was wrestling. I used to be a huge fan of it. I grew up in the Attitude era. For the uninitiated, this was like growing up a Celtics fan in the 60’s (from 1959-1969 they won 9 championships). I would always get offended when people would say that wrestling was fake, its not. Like ballet, it’s choreographed, but fake? No, the athleticism is real. Today mixed martial arts fills the void that wrestling used to occupy in my life. So to end my pointless ramblings here are my favorite wrestlers of all time. CAUTION, I will be using a lot of wrestling terms. If you don’t know what they are, feel free to look them up or ask in the comments.
Nic Cage x ‘THE HOBBIT’ = You’re welcome.
Shout out to community member and friend Jilly for bringing this to my attention. One hyper-manic actor to rule them all.
