‘Metal Gear Rising’ Was Canned, Revengeance Is Its Own Beast!
Metal Gear Solid: Rising Thunder Raiden Time debuted, then went under the ground. Deep, deep underground. You may be thinking the son of a bitch emerged on Saturday at the Spike VGA, but you’d be wrong. Wrong, brah! What debuted was a whole new entity, and the whole goofy Revengeance moniker signaled it. This shit ain’t Solid, it’s out for revenging vengeance.

Televised Days of Christmas: Christmas Is Where the Heart Is
[Is there a better way to celebrate the manger-birth of a superpowered messiah-baby than watching television? Hell no! Join Rendar Frankenstein as he navigates Spaceship OL through the Televised Days of Christmas!]
It wasn’t so long ago that nerds were persecuted.
Comic books were reading material for basement-dwelling losers, not source material for Hollywood blockbusters. Television’s scientific community consisted of children’s entertainers like Mr. Wizard and Bill Nye, not prime-time warriors like Leonard and Sheldon. Glasses were for the vision impaired, not the svelte-as-fuck.
Needless to say, these were dark days for all nerds.
But there is something to be said for those who can survive in the face of relentless persecution. Despite being spat upon, these individuals have the spiritual fortitude to take a stand, championing causes that’re unpopular but virtuous. They resist the temptation to cave into the herd mentality, and sometimes they even manage to help others in the process.
Family Matters‘ Steve Urkel is one such hero.
And perhaps the most festive of his heroic deeds can be found in Christmas Is Where the Heart Is.
JMS Posts ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ Sales Chart After His Exit. Internet Explodes.
I’ve never understood the J. Michael Straczynski (JMS) rapture. I thought his Amazing Spider-Man stories started off decent enough, spiraled into banality. I thought Rising Stars started off well, spiraled into banality. Then there’s his Superman Walks A Lot story! This weekend JMS ignited a firestorm when he posted a sales graph of Amazing’s sales after he left and then was all like “What, I just thought it was curious.”
Video: Russian ‘Burger King’ Hip Hop Madness.
A minute-something Burger King ad from Russia featuring absurd imagery and hip hop. I have a feeling if I understood Russia it would only make a bit more sense. I am in love.

Trailers: Spike VGA Trailer Blow Out, Chat-Up. Come Inside!
I already claimed that Naughty Dog’s trailer for The Last Of Us was one of the best trailers of all time. Inside the comments section I got lit-up like a fuckin’ Christmas tree draped in malfunctioning lights. No problem. I stick by it! But here’s a post with all the glorious debuts and trailers from last night’s Spike VGA. Let’s shoot the shit about all of them.
Televised Days of Christmas: Night of the Meek

“Ho! Ho! Ho!”
Didja hear that? Didja?! I think it was Santa Claus giving us an early warning of the impending holiday! Make sure you rush out to the mall so that you can buy a Tamagotchi Angel for Cousin Jeffie and a Furby for Sister Lillian! Hurry! You don’t want to miss the sales! Go!
Actually, don’t.
Instead, why don’t you join the OL crew as we begin our trek through the finest Televised Days of Christmas? We’re going to peer into the vacuum-tubed past of yuletide greetings, the glowing memories of peace on Earth and goodwill towards men. Pour yourself a mugful of frothy eggnog, toss on your favorite ugly sweater, and plant your ass on the closest ottoman.
Tonight is not just any night – it’s The Night of the Meek.
Trailer: ‘The Last Of Us’ Is Naughty Dog Blitzkrieg Awesome.
‘The Last of Us’ was revealed tonight at the Spike VGA, and it turns out to be 110% Naughty Dog fucking domination. My lord. Watching it for the first time on a television, it had to be one of the best video games trailers I had ever seen. Just fucking stunning.
Hit the jump for the glory.
Saturday Brew Review: Innis & Gunn Rum Cask
Ahoy!`Tis Saturday nite and as such the drinks are freely flowin’ at the Mos Eisley Cantina. Figrin D’an is tearing shit up with his Modal Nodes, inspiring muthafuckahs to hit the dance floor and gyrate their gential-areas together. Backdoor deals are being made so that terrorist-farmhands can blow up expensive government buildings. And droids still aren’t being served.
If Omega-Level were a patron of the Mos Eisley Cantina, it’d be a smooth-talkin’ Corellian whose language of choice is credits.
But since we have the benefit of residing on the lovely blue planet known as Earth, there’s no chance of snagging space-brews from Wuher. Instead, I must head to the liquor-merchant and choose a potable on my own. Without an interstellar racist to guide me, I’m liable to choose all sorts of kooky concoctions.
As such, tonight I’m drinking Innis & Gunn Rum Cask.
Trailer: ‘Metal Gear Rising’ VGA Trailer. Platinum Games? Yes.
This is probably going to be taken down any second, but here, while it may last: Metal Gear Solid: Rising (Revengeance?) is set to debut tonight at the Spike VGAs, and its trailer has leaked. Developed by Platinum Games, this shit is officially on my wanted list.
