Video: Duncan Jones Does Ad For ‘Virgin Money’. Uh, Okay?
Duncan Jones. Talented dude behind Moon and Source Code. Filling out his resume (er, pockets) with this new ad for Virgin Money. Whatever. It’s sort of swanky, and at least it isn’t that awful Aronofsky Revlon ad.
Marvel Announces Avengers vs. X-Men Tie-In Book, ‘Versus’. Please Don’t Buy This.
Marvel’s announced a tie-in book for their Avengers vs. X-Men event. Titled “Versus”, it’s being billed as “the fight book”. Remember when you could weave those into a fucking event? Eh?
Video: ‘Skyrim’ Mod Replaces Dragons With Macho Man. The Legend Lives!
Much like a dragons, Macho Man Randy Savage has faded into myth. Much like dragons, it has been written (by no one save for me, maybe) that he will live again! Now he does in a pretty ridiculous Skyrim mod.
‘Diablo III’ Dropping February 1? Dark Gods, Yes!
If a sign at some errant Best Buy is correct, then Diablo III is dropping in less than a month. Color me skeptical but silently pleading.
Friday Brew Review: Dark Intrigue
There’s an argument to be made that individuals shouldn’t try to improve themselves through any means other than those that’ve been pre-approved In this mindset, personal evolution is certainly acceptable, but circumventing the system is not. You want to push yourself to the very edge of your potential? Sure! Go for it! Make the most of your experience on Spaceship Earth! Just make sure to never, ever, consider redefining the limits that’ve been ascribed to you.
After all, if you stumble across a way to improve yourself that others aren’t hip to, well, that wouldn’t be fair. Right? In fact, some might even call that cheating.
But others…well, we call it innovative.
Think of the bad motherfuckers that Earth would’ve never seen do awesome shit if they’d felt compelled to play by the rules. Robert Rodriguez wouldn’t have decided for himself that an action movie could be made for less than $10,000. Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa wouldn’t’ve found the right supplements to give baseball fans the 1998 home run race. And perhaps Bruce Banner wouldn’t’ve ‘t acknowledged what’d happen to him after jumping into the path of a gamma bomb.
Sometimes being good just isn’t enough, even if you’re a director or a baseball player or a scientist. The bottom line is that if you can figure out a way to exponentially increase your talents, whether they’re limited or formidable, you’d be a fucking fool not to. Take whatever it is your good at, and rock it as hard as you can.
This is the very idea behind Dark Intrigue.
Video: Miyamoto Confirms He’s Working On Unannounced Original Game. Hell Yeah.
Remember that time when Shigeru Miyamoto announced he was retiring and then everyone shit themselves and Nintendo shit too and then he wasn’t retiring anymore? Yeah, last month was awesome. Miyamoto still is kickin’, and he’s working on an original game. Hell yeah, Shiggy!
Check Out Our Gooey Galactic Center! A Mere 26,000 Light Years Ago.
Check out our gorgeous galactic center. It’s funny that NASA drops this image on us today, because last night I was marveling at the under-appreciated fact that we can see our galaxy in the sky if we gave a gander. Look around you, folks! Around you!
Grant Morrison Gets His Own Convention. No Srsly.
Grant Morrison is getting his own convention. As a devout acolyte of his, I’m having difficulty expressing how fucking excited just the fact that this exists makes me.
File-sharing Religion Officially Recognized In Sweden. Wut? Rock.
Welcome to the Future, where there is a file-sharing religion officially recognized by a government. The Church of Kopimism is a religion predicated on sharin’ them torrents and the such. Outstanding.
