WII outsells WII U in December. I laugh. A hearty laugh.
Hey! What’s wrong with this world. People aren’t buying a gaming console with a tablet for a controller like Nintendo expected. It is almost like they can play a game on a tablet without having to buy a console. Gasp! Farting sounds. Whomp whomp.

Watch: MARCUS FENIX shaking his groove thang.
Tal Peleg is the wondrous mind behind this outstanding video. Peleg cut a video of the normally bro-tough Fenix shaking his ass for all it was worth. What did it land the intrepid groove-maker? A fucking job in the industry. Not bad. Not bad at all.
New biggest structure in the UNIVERSE too much for our monkey-brains to comprehend.
Shout out to Dave Kendricken of No Film School for bringing this to my attention. I can barely comprehend the concept of time and space interlocking into some wily thing where like, spacemen come back from their journey to find their families dead. So I definitely cannot comprehend the largest structure in the Universe. I can, however, enjoy trying to comprehend my lack of comprehension.
Brian Wood and Olivier Coipel launching a women-only ‘X-MEN’ TITLE.
Women-only X-Men title? I suppose it would fry the synapses of fan-people if they deviated from the ever-marketable franchise moniker, even if it was to emphasize the ladies only experience. Whatever. None the less. I’m really excited for this endeavor, with two of my more favorite creators collaborating on the joint.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone Are Important
Trey Parker and Matt Stone have never really been beholden to anyone or anything except themselves, even while working for one of the largest conglomerates in the world, Viacom. They just do their own thing as much as possible, but that doesn’t seem to be enough for them. It’s gotten to the point where they like themselves so much that they want to work only with themselves. Now, the creators of South Park have taken their self-love to next level by announcing that they’ve created a new, more autonomous platform to do whatever they want, satirize whatever they choose, in their important service to man and madness. More after the jump.
Monday Morning Commute: Ice Giants Upon the Pond
Hello friends. Nuzzle your bunghole close to the center of your leather seat here aboard the Mothership, and grab a beverage. This here is Monday Morning Commute, the therapy session where we all discuss the various arts, crafts, beverages, and bloat-inducing burgers that are helping us through this thing called Existence. Oh me? I’m just wallowing away here on break from work. My days have slide into nights, vampire weekends into a vampire existence. I’ve broken the noon wake-up call a couple of times, and my self-loathing is spiking. You’re all beautiful.
ZACK SNYDER developing ‘STAR WARS’ flick, influenced by ‘SEVEN SAMURAI.’ I have emotions. [Or not?]
[Update: He’s not? So says his rep. More after jump.]
Zack Snyder. Star Wars. Together. At last? I feel like, given my usual rage for Snyder, I should be cheesed. But I can’t be. His Man of Steel trailer (admittedly a small glimpse) was hot. The idea of riffing off of Kurosawa again in Star Wars is hot.
Reddit co-founder Aaron Swartz dies at age 26.
Real talk. I didn’t know about Aaron Swartz before today, but even a cursory examination of his life casts the dude as pretty cool. Swartz didn’t just co-found Reddit. In an act of digital righteousness that cuts close to home, he liberated 4.8 million documents from that gated golden tower of academia, JSTOR. Shine on, dude.
