FARYL DALRYMPLE getting gorgeous collection ‘DELUSIONAL’ in September.

Delusional.

I fell in love with Faryl Dalrymple with his work on Prophet, and I have been following the good sir since. The only problem is the duder is prolific as fuck. Good luck hunting down all his sheezy! Good news for scrubs like me, though. Dalrymple is getting his own collection this September.

VENUS’ SURFACE got that MOLTEN SURFACE, looks like MOLTEN CORE. WOW Reference FTL.

Molten Time!

Hey man. So what if I was running around a mere eight (Jesus Christ what am I doing with my life?) years ago in Molten Core? It is the first thing I thought of when I glimpsed this beautiful reconstruction of Venus’ surface. Not a world of the Worlds? The Wars? The Crafting? Then drown me out as usual, and check out the real deets after the jump.

ELLEN PAGE sort of NOT OKAY about ‘LAST OF US’ protagonist being essentially her twin.

Not Ellen Page!

You couldn’t be blamed if you mistook one of Last of Us’ protagonists for Ellen Page. ‘Cause, you know. Naughty Dog essentially copied Page’s exact look, voice, and mannerisms for the character. How is Ellen Page handling this identity ganking? Eh, pretty decent. But she ain’t happy.

Friday Brew Review: Russian Imperial Stout

Russian Imperial Stout

Authoritarian regimes maintain power by cracking skulls and giving exactly zero fucks.

Remember that time Napoleon rewarded Boxer’s ceaseless efforts with a trip to the glue-factory? Or how about when Grand Moff Tarkin blew up an entire goddamn planet? And who could ever forget when the children of Panem murdered each other for entertainment?

The reason that all of this wonderful brutality occurred was because those in power didn’t have to justify their actions. Without checks and balances, these motherfuckers were able to do as these pleased, whatever the consequences. And although freedom fighters occasionally inspire resistance, there are still plenty of totalitarian forces at work today.

Even in the beer world.

Tonight I’m drinking a limited edition Russian Imperial Stout from the folks at Otter Creek Brewing. Having had my interest piqued by the Soviet-styled design on the label and box, I wanted to learn more about this stout. Hell, I even compiled a list of questions. But when I went to the brewery’s website, I was greeted by nothing more than an “under construction” declaration and the encouragement to visit the Otter Creek Facebook page.

Thanks but no thanks, Otter Creek! I haven’t been on Facebook in years, and I ain’t fallin’ for your ruse! It’s pretty obvious what’s goin’ on. The Otter Creek Elite wants me to join Facebook and “friend” them, and then they’ll monitor my beer-drinkin’ habits (via status updates and photo evidence) to target me more directly! Before I know it, Otter Creek shadow agents will be infiltrating the parties I throw, telling revelers about the newest promotions available from a beloved Middlebury, Vermont brewery.

Insidious.

Current ‘HALO TRILOGY is actually a ‘SAGA.’ UH OKAY BUZZ WORDS!!!

Halo 4

Did you think that Halo 4 was the beginning of a trilogy? You fucking dullard. Trilogies are so 2000s. Now we are into the realm of the amorphous saga. Whatever the fuck that means. How do I interpret it? I take it to make a license to expand ceaselessly into the future, without having to justify story arcs and all that superfluous silliness.

‘VALHALLA RISING’ may get TOKYO-BASED SEQUEL. Time Travelling Vikings, yo!

Them two boys.

File this under: don’t question it, just love it. Nicolas Winding Refn wants to take his Viking Warrior flick (that in full disclosure I haven’t seen but want to and it’s streaming on Netflix why don’t I just get off my lazy ass Jesus Christ…) and flip it a sequel. In Tokyo. In the Future. Somehow.
