This Week On The Walking Dead: Home
Uh oh. Here we go again. Time for another Walking Dead 2min Redux. Another chapter of the slow moving train wreck has passed, and we must celebrate it’s release with ritualistic satire. So join me, as we emerge ourselves in splashing wet entrails of the infected, on our spiraling journey of a true sadistic television experience. Ahoy!
Snap! BUTCHER BILLY’S latest mash-up has Green Goblin going BIN LADEN
Butcher Billy don’t give no fucks! Despite us writhing in exhaustion at his fantastic pop-culture mash-ups, the dude continues onward. This time the artist has hung a bit of a political bent on our asses, mashing up nefarious bastards of the political world with some of the biggest baddies of the comic world. The result? Typical awesomeness.
This Week On The Walking Dead: Suicide King
Whooooweeee. Saddle up partna! It’s that time of the year again. Time for a good ol’ fashioned Walking Dead 2min Redux. Rick and the boys are back at it, smashing skulls and over acting. So put on your shitkickers, and let’s get fifthly in this bitch.
The Snow Is What You Make of It
Mother Nature is at it again here in New England. Though She can be a dependable source of sunshine and sustenance in many parts of the world, She tends to be fickle in my neck of the woods. One moment she is warm, hospitable; the next She is cold and treacherous–out to get you if you even try to go out. It’s all part of the plan, really. She likes to keep us on our toes, never allowing anyone to be too comfortable with how things are, and I like that about Mother Nature, honestly. I welcome this aura of irregularity because inconsistent states (be they nature-based or otherwise) can be conducive to creativity and productivity: you have to deal with all the contending elements, make the best of what’s at your disposal, and hopefully something interesting comes out of it. And when this great, big storm finally hits the ground and piles up all the snow and logistical problems that come with it, we can plow and pack and shape that snow into salutatory snowmen, serene snow angels, and epic snow forts. We can sled and ski our way to freedom in a winter wonderland. And if you choose to stay inside, you can finally do all those things that you’ve been meaning to accomplish (read that book everyone’s talking about, watch a classic movie, do some writing, etc.). Once the snow is given by good ol’ Mother Nature, it’s ours for the taking. So go ahead and make good on this, just like these fine examples of snowman fecundity.
Butcher Billy mashes up MARIO with SID & NANCY for gorgeous ANARCHY
Fuck yeah! The new Butcher Billy jam is here, and this time he is taking his talents to anarchy. The pop-cultural remixing maestro has exorcised the glimmer of the Mushroom Kingdom from Mario’s soul, replacing the sheen with a gritty Sid & Nancy vibe. The winners? All of us.
KING RICHARD III’S DUMB BONES found underneath a parking lot or something. The path of glory, man.
King Richard’s dumb bones have been found underneath some silly parking lot or some shit. One day you’re ruling the Anglo world (I think, fuck history books), the next day (relatively) you’re ventilated with daggers, and found in a parking lot. What can you do. News, and a clever little video after the break.
BOWSER is PEACHY [Inky Charland]
Need that perfect Valentine’s Day gift? How about matching Bowser and Peach tattoos. Fellas, nothing says I love you like ghosts, fireballs, and castles. Ladies, there’s nothing that gets out fires lit like old 8-bit nostalgia.
Watch: ‘HOMELAND’ as a Super Nintendo RPG. It respects the beard. We all should.
College Humor is back on their SNES RPG grind, this time layering the treatment onto Homeland. A good friend of mine described the show best, telling me that he “didn’t know if the show was good, but it is entertaining.” Amen to that. This is our chance to bask in that formula through a 16-bit lens.
US combat airplanes getting legitimate laser turrets. Outrighteoustanding.
Fire up the X-Wing and prepare to take on some TIE fighters, folks. The United States Aerospace Defense Wizards have concocted a means through which they shall be installing laser turrets on their planes. If this isn’t a sign of the future, I don’t know what is. Maybe those robots that you can have sex with. They’re a sign. Sign of something.
Joss Whedon on ‘AVENGERS 2’ and ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’, hee-yay.
Joss Whedon can’t top 2012. He can’t. It was the year he bathed in the blood of delicious capitalist credits, and finally ascended to what many believe is his rightful place on the Geek Throne. Despite that, he is too young to retreat to a cave and live his days as an ascetic. So here is hoping talking about his next ventures.
