THE GANG OMEGA’S PICKS OF 2012: Rendar Frankenstein’s Rumination Frenzy!!
It’s with a tearful eye and a hyper-extended thumbs-up that I bid farewell to 2012.
The last twelve months have been some of the finest of my entire life. And I’m not exaggerating. Unlike those saccharine slobs who always clamor about the present hour being their finest and the preceding moments nothing more than the bliss-steps to their existence plateaus, I have no illusions about the fact that I’ve chalked up some miserable years. I’ve anguished through entire calendars, burnin’ `em up with fuel of the most incendiary sort.
Self-doubt! Resentment! Apathy! Vitriol! Cynicism! Sally forth towards the mire!
But 2012 was a whole different beast. Sure, there definitely some moments when my nostrils were assailed by the wispy vapors of the aforementioned propellants. But repugnance was ultimately cast aside, overpowered by the surfeit of wonder! It’s almost as though entertainment and art and love formed a giant sword-wieldin’, monster-destroyin’ mech, and I got to pilot the son-of-a-bitch!
If only!
Anyways, it looks as though every crew member of Spaceship OL is delivering their year-end highlights, so I’m going to join the party. But since I’ve garnered a reputation as being the erratic, currently-undiagnosed-but-we’re-working-on-it, hack-writin’ resident of the crew, I’m going to switch things up a bit. Each of my highlights will be paired with an Ultra-Dimensional Portal! By clicking on any UDP, a hole will be punched in space-time, and your consciousness will be projected astrally.
Got it? Okay, here’s one last look at 2012!

THE GANG OMEGA’S PICKS OF 2012: The Faux Bot’s Big Adventure
Hey you know that kid who writes about video games sometimes? Yeah, The Fucksbot? Something like that. Check out what that douche consumed this year.
THE 2012 PRESS START AWARDS
It’s no surprise that most of my favoured games this year are download-only: games free of the constraints of large publishing deals and the costs of physical media. I like those physical artifacts as much as the next self-respecting hoarder, but when it comes to gaming and the creativity that I’ve seen flourish within the digital marketplace, it seems all the more difficult to pine for the past. The future of gaming is increasingly digital, independent and passionate: a fact well-displayed by some of the better releases this year. As Bobby Kotick plots to overthrow Steam, kill Gabe Newell and eat his heart to gain his strength, let us celebrate the games of 2012.
THE GANG OMEGA’S PICKS OF 2012: Sneaky Pete – An Idiot Abroad
2012 was an interesting year for me personally. As many of you know, I spent a good portion of the year traveling, not only across the country, but across the world. At times OL was my lone tether to the bindings of our magnificently grotesque, yet powerfully addicting culture. That said, I had a profound experience outside of the bubble, much of which I have not taken the time to share, until now.

THE GANG OMEGA’S PICKS OF 2012: R.C.’s Worst Apocalypse Ever Edition
Remember me? No? Okay. I really don’t have a good excuse for my extended absence other than I have the attention span of a gnat.
Anyway, I was at work the other day, doing my thang, when one of my coworkers commented on the fact that the world was going to end the following Friday. Laughing, I told him to shut the fuck up, because the world was supposed to end in December. He gave me a look, one of those ‘you are too stupid to live’ looks, and said, “It is December, R.C.”
When the serious fuck did that happen.
But then the apocalypse didn’t happen and now I have all these awesome end of the world-related one-liners that will go forever unused. Such a shame.
Alison Brie x CAPTAIN AMERICA = Glory Be.
Part of me is all “of course she has to have a bare mid drift”, the other part of me is too titillated to care. Alison Brie as Captain America is the photoshop glory.
‘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.
New ‘IRON MAN 3′ shows Tony Stark post butt-whuppin’
If this image and the trailers are any indications, Tony Stark is going to get his ass flayed in this third Iron Guy film. Good! Yeah! Put the stink on Anthony, and demand that he respond to it. Right?
